T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Iranus]

First match captained by Ruturaj and it resulted in a win. What a start from the CSK team. RCB were completely clueless throughout the whole match. All thanks to Mustafijur Rahman for his brilliance bowling. We all knew Dhoni was still the on field captain for the team and he really managed the bowling and fielding well. A great match to start the Tournament I must say. Let’s see what happens in the next matches.

This young Bangladeshi bowler Mustafizur Rahman he performed well in the first match, Chennai Super King team performance was so good that they beat Royal Challenger Bangalore very easily. Only Mustafizur Rahman's bowling kept Royal Challengers Bangalore under heavy wicket pressure. So I give the most importance to Mostafizur Rahman as the role of victory in this match.

28-year-old Mustafizur Rahman can no longer be called young. Mustafiz is a regular player of Bangladesh national team and now he is quite an experienced bowler.

Mustafiz changed the entire scenario of the match against Bengaluru. He made a breakthrough at a crucial time. Bengaluru's two openers started very well. Bengaluru's batting slowed down due to Mustafiz picking up two wickets of Du Plessis and Patidar in 1 over at the crucial moment. And then Virat Kohli and Cameron Green were trying to get set at the crease. Even if these two players stayed at the crease, Bengaluru would probably have set a target of 200+ runs. But due to Mustafiz's excellent bowling, Kohli and Green could not extend their innings.

It is difficult to win against a team like Chennai, given a target of 174 runs on this batting friendly pitch. Chennai have a lot of experienced batsmen in their squad.

I have seen it, but I didn’t like the concept there as we have to predict a lot of things for each game. Personally, I like the prediction pool system of Superbru.

I like Superbru too, and it's easier to manage too.

Haunebu also started a prediction pool, you can check his recent topics to see it but appears no one was interested in a pool with entry fee.

I just noticed it now. I'm not sure why Haunebu hasn't notified about the pool to those forum members who had joined this kind of prediction pool by sending the entry fee in the past. He had set the entry fee 0.18 mBTC only, which was too low.

I think link was posted in this thread but there were no personal messages sent to notify interested members, I was planning to join it but since there were no interest in the thread there, didn't bother further.

I created that particular thread sometime back and bumped it for many days in the gambling discussion board, but there was clearly no interest even when the fees were quite low which is why I gave up on it.

Last season's champions Chennai Super Kings started their journey with a win in the opening match of the IPL yesterday. The team won by 6 wickets against Royal Challengers Bangalore. Yesterday's match was enjoyed by the audience with excitement, no doubt today's match will be exciting. Kolkata Knight Riders vs Sunrise Hyderabad will face today without doubt today's match is going to be another high voltage match. But between these two teams today, I will definitely put Kolkata Knight Riders ahead of Sunrise Hyderabad. However, Sunrise Hyderabad has some great players who can certainly do well against Kolkata if they perform well.

[cryptoWODL]

My guess was that the target would be less than 150. Because at the beginning of the innings, Royal Challengers Bangalore team lost 5 wickets only to collect 78 runs in Mustafizur Rahman's great bowling. Mustafiz picked up four important wickets in his first two overs for perhaps just 6 runs. Because of Mustafiz's excellent bowling, Bangalore's top order players could not bat well. Mustafiz took the wickets of Virat Kohli, Du Plessis, Cameron Green and Rajat Patidar.

With Mustafizur Rahman's brilliant bowling performance in Royal Challengers Bangalore's batting woes from the start many speculated that they might be able to score 150 runs. In the first match of this year's IPL season, Bangladeshi bowler Mustafizur Rahman won the hearts of the audience with his best cutter and performance. The biggest crowd in the stadium yesterday was for Chennai Super Kings as this match between Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Benguela took place at the home ground of the Chennai team. Yesterday the whole stadium was full of yellow. What looked good looked even better when Mustafizur Rahman dismissed the top four batsmen of Royal Challengers Bangalore.

Chennai Super Kings were the champion team of 2023 IPL season they started their auspicious journey in 2024 by winning their first match. Maybe this time also the team management of Chennai Super Kings they have built the team with the aim of champion and accordingly they will try to play against every team in every match.

I agree that yesterday match between Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore was fun to watch. I am happy that the IPL is happening again. As you mentioned today Kolkata Knight Riders will play against Sunrise Hyderabad. I believe it will be exciting match. Kolkata may have advantage because they have a good team and have done well before. But thing is that we should not forget that Sunrise Hyderabad also has good players who can make difference. So let's wait for the match and will see which team will win.

I too feel the same that there are more questions to predict which is kind of okay as he is running the contest. This might be the first time that anyone has added negative points to make the contest more competitive. But, like you, I skipped the part of participating in the contest due to some many questions. If he had put in some basic questions with negative points then it would have been interesting for me too. I plan on enjoying the IPL rather than thinking about the prediction going right or wrong. Never tried Superbu won't be able to comment on it.

Even I also enjoyed this match, but I felt like Chennai was in well-control from the start and things were completely favourable for them which was surely impressive now having new captain and things still well-balanced which means we are going to have Chennai again at its best in this season and it's never been easy to beat them and Bengaluru is again having no depth even they have few big stars, but their luck is not going to take any change which is really terrible for them and their fans.

Now today we are going to have two matches; for first match, I am not going to place any bet and then  we are going to have another fiery match while Rajasthan Royals will host Lucknow Super Giants where I have already place bet on LSG as I still feel they are going to enter final this year as well which means 3rd final in a row .

Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings
The match between Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings already started. The performance of Delhi Capitals is still going well. At the end of 8 overs, they got 74 runs and in this 8 overs, David Warner Patel was caught out. Sharma took a nice catch. Now it seems that Delhi Capitals are going to come under a bit of pressure as David Warner was a big wicket for them. Their current run rate is over 9.2 and there Run collected in the last five overs is 42. Since the field is batting friendly and it is a T20 format, if you don't put up a good score here, the opponent will win easily.
I will choose Delhi Capitals for my betting on this match. Now let's see how many runs they can take till the last.

[synchronym]

In the second match in IPL, Punjab Kings won the toss and decided to field first. Delhi Capitals' opening pair David Warner and Mitchell Marsh started well and Delhi Capitals batting is doing fairly well. Delhi Capitals current score is 112 runs for 4 wickets in 14 overs. Delhi Capitals looks at the game situation. It seems that if the next batsmen can bat, they can score 180 runs. If Punjab Kings can bowl under control after giving a target of 180 runs, surely Delhi Capitals can win.

I have doubt you will lose your bet in today match among Delhi Capitals sqaud against Punjab Kings squad because after 11 overs Delhi Capitals squad only collected only 38 more scores in 6 overs almost. I expected big scores scores from Delhi Capitals squad side but they did not displayed a such performance in batting Inning. After Rishabh Pant captain of squad was wiped out from crease at 18 scores. Next batter Tristan Stubbs was cleared out by a nice catch of Jitesh Sharma and another Jitesh Sharma caught Ricky Bhui's wicket. Only two overs behind for play, Delhi Capitals squad successfully collected 147 scores and I believe that they will get 25 more scores and at last they set 173 to 175 scores which seem a average defeating target.

Looking at the Delhi squad I thought I would probably see my 200+ score in today's match. Delhi's batting order is very strong. There are several T20 specialist batsmen in the Delhi squad. The four batsmen in the top order David Warner, Mitchell Marsh, Rishab Pant and Shai Hope are capable of playing big innings each, as well as batting at a smart strike rate. But in today's match, Delhi's top order did not play well as expected.

Shai Hope scored maximum 33 runs for the team. Shai Hope collected 33 runs from 25 balls. Delhi can collect 149 runs in 19 overs. Let's see how many runs Delhi batsmen can collect in the last over.

Edit: what a batting! Delhi's batsmen collected 25 runs in the last over. And Delhi set a target of 175 runs descent. Even after giving a target of 175 runs, I would say that Punjab's chances of winning are still high. But Abhishek Porel's innings of 32 runs off 10 balls was very enjoyable.

[3kpk3]

Looks like Punjab will win the first match as expected thanks to several Delhi players getting good starts, but unable to convert them. They reached 174 all thanks to Porel's blitz towards the end.

Punjab's fielding has been excellent and their overall team composition seems better than DC in my opinion. Hot match literally!

In 2nd game, Punjab king won the toss and first decided bowling. Delhi capital batsman makes 21 run in 2 over and Punjab king bowler no any wicket against Delhi capital batsman. This is the good started for Delhi capital batsman. Punjab king bowler out the Delhi capital batsman in the second ball of the 4 over. This is the first achievement for Punjab king bowler. Once time again Punjab king bowler out the Delhi capital batsman in the last ball of the 8 over. This is the second achievement for Punjab king bowler. Delhi capital batsman makes 86 run in 10 over and 2 outs. Delhi capital batsman are working hard and struggle and make run. Delhi capital batsman makes 174 run in 20 over and 9 outs. This is the target for Punjab king batsman. This is the good target for Punjab king batsman. Now let's see Punjab king batsman can complete this target or not.

Coming down to bat against the target of 175 runs given by Delhi capital, Punjab Kings lost wickets in the beginning but were under some pressure but Shikhar Dhawan and Prabhsimran Singh batted responsibly. The way the players of Punjab Kings are batting, it seems that they will easily win against Delhi capital.  Punjab Kings need 64 runs off 37 balls. Now if the Delhi Capitals can bowl aggressively then the game will turn around. Let's see how well Delhi Capital's bowlers can bowl in the end.

This is first time I saw wk talk this much, wow Rishabh Pant you are making DC feel lively. It's good to see passionate Punjab crowd as well.

I also have a question, I heard commentator saying something along the lines, "Kuldeep making batsman go for false shot" — what do they mean by that? And how does bowler do that?

At this time, anything can happen in the Pakistan Cricket Team as the latest news is coming from PCB. If it is true then Pakistan team Peak is not away.

PCB CHAIRMAN meets with Amir, Imad, and Ahmed Shehzad. These three players are still in form. Ahmed Shezad played domestic cricket where he performed very well. On the other side Imad Wasim did amazing bowling, and Amir was very good bowler from the start and still, he is at the good age of 31.

Mohsin Navi talk with them about retirement and now if these players come then openers Babar Azam, Saim Ayub, and then Rizwan then Ahmed Shezad, Muhammad Haris and Pakistan batting will come on the peak in the middle order Shadab, Iftikhar Ahmed and Imad Wasim but now in bowling Shaheen, Haris Rauf, Naseem Shah, Wasim Jr, Amir, Hunain Shah, Zaman Khan, and these are the best bowling line-up in whole cricket then for sure, Pakistan will win every match with any team.

Punjab Kings won by four wickets against Delhi Capitals in the second match of Indian Premier League today. Today's second match was a very tight match. In today's match, both the teams have given a very interesting match to the cricket lovers. I am very happy to enjoy this match today. However, if the bowlers of Delhi Capitals could have tried a little better in this match, then the result of this match could have turned around. In my opinion Delhi Capitals bowlers should have been more responsible to make something different in this match. Anyway congratulations to both teams for putting up a great match.

I also have a question, I heard commentator saying something along the lines, "Kuldeep making batsman go for false shot" — what do they mean by that? And how does bowler do that?

It's more like a hit and miss case.

For example, if any batter tries any shot like cover drive, hook, pull etc and goes with his/her usual body motion but gets beaten by not picking bowlers or only manages to get an outside-inside edge to cover, slip etc. From a batting perspective, the fewer false percentage shots, the better. It's the opposite for bowlers, the more you make the batter to commit false shots against you, the better.
