T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Cheema02]

In the final match of the Mens African Games, Zimbabwe won the title with an eight-wicket win over Namibia. In today's final match, Namibia won the toss and batted first and gave the Zimbabwe team a target of 114 runs after completing the game of 20 overs. I think the target of 114 runs was not reliable for Namibia to win against Zimbabwe in this final match. One can never expect to win a match with such a small target. Still, Zimbabwe is a much stronger team than Namibia and to compete with a stronger team, Namibia should have set a bigger run target. If Namibia could have given the Zimbabwe team a bigger target and if the bowling line could have performed better, this final match would have been a tough contest.

Congratulations to Zimbabwe for winning the final match by huge victory of 8 wickets against Namibia. Namibia is the favourite to win this final but they scored a low score of 113 runs in a loss of 7 wickets in the first innings of the match. Player of the Match is Tadiwanashe Marumani from Zimbabwe for his outstanding batting performance scored fifty 58 runs from just 40 balls and helped his team to chase down the target of 114 runs in just loss a of 2 wickets.

Cummins and Starc performed like crap and were overhyped as expected. There are extremely few cases of big budget players actually living up to their prices in the IPL so far based on my observations.

SRH came a lot closer to the target than what I expected, but they didn't cross the line successfully as expected. Also, KKR fielding was just abysmal in this match.

You are correct take a look at Ishan Kishan he was bought at a very high rate but has been a failure in IPL. High price players are just hype creators and not good players. Indeed SRH was on the verge of wining against KKR they took some of the best catches in this season of IPL. Whereas KKR were lousy on the field and their bowling was not that good, it was Andrew Russel who took his team to this win. He batted well and he bowled also well but one cannot expect him to repeat his performance in the next game.

It happens, there are many cases where expensive players fail to deliver and that brings anxiety to franchise owners. Starc figures were horrible in yesterday game as he gave away 53 runs in his 4 overs without picking up any wicket. SRH were very close to win in yesterday's game as 4 runs were required on last 2 balls and Rana got the crucial wicket of Heinrich Klaasen on 5th delivery of final over. Heinrich Klaasen played so well but failed to deliver when we was required the most.  

If Nitish Rana had not dismissed Henry Klaasen  yesterday Kolkata Knight Riders might have suffered their first defeat. But one thing is surprising that the most expensive game of this year's IPL is Mitchell Starc. But he could not give his proper bowling performance in yesterday's match due to which he bowled the costliest over of this year's Indian Premier League season. The team management might get frustrated when such an expensive player fails to give his proper performance. It was a day of failure for Mitchell Starc and Kolkata Knight Riders got their relief win in dramatic fashion in the last over. Henry Klaasen was so terrible against Kolkata Knight Riders that if he had not been dismissed the outcome of the match would have been different tomorrow.

Experienced bowlers like Mitchell Starc were completely unsuccessful in this match. Starc conceded 53 runs in 4 overs and failed to pick up a single wicket. Such poor bowling from an experienced bowler like Starc was totally unexpected. On the other hand, Varun Chakravarthy's bowling was also very bad. Even though varun managed to pick up a wicket, he conceded 55 runs in 4 overs.

Kolkata won this match only because of the performances of Russel, Narine and Rana. Russel played a brilliant innings of 64 off 25 balls. Even though Sunil Narine took only 1 wicket, he gave only 19 runs in 4 overs. Very controlled bowling by Nrine. And Rana gave victory to Kolkata by bowling brilliantly in the last over.

I am really feeling nothing positive for the Pakistan cricket with this news now he is almost 35 years and have no good prospect for the Pakistan team with now it's time for bringing new blood and better quality players even he was good in recent addition of the PSL 2024 but still I am not in favor of this decision because now it's time for moving ahead instead of going with players like these which are now having nothing for the team they need to stay in leagues and having some money for the age after retirement is enough for them.
But as we all know Pakistan cricket is never been stable, so drama's like these are happening for years even they are having too many young and talented players, but their system never allows them to be groomed as quality players which is matter of concern for them but no one looking into these deep issues and mostly having drama's like these coming out of the retirement and then suddenly again having another decision which create too many memes and jokes about their all mentality and system in the past.

Before his retirement he spoke so much against Babar Azam along with Muhammad Amir on TV channels. How can he play with Babar Azam and other players who he criticised by sitting in TV channels. Players like Imad Wasim, Shadab and Azam khan are too good in PSL or other leagues but they are constant failure in international cricket where standards are quite high. Moreover, Imad has not played domestic cricket and if he is included in the team then it's injustice to players in domestic setup.   

Pakistani cricket is having history of things like these personal ego and grouping always hurt this team badly, and they bring down themselves due to things like these and PCB never been able to bring any solid policy which bring players on merit even we have good quality players for all formats, but we never have good management which can handle them and having good winning unit.
Now this new PCB setup is also working on same patron with they are clearly doing things which are not going to help this team in long run which is more important even now they have money and better sources which can bring good results and fair chance for players to develop their technique and quality which is important in current era with all teams are doing impressive progress for the better results.

Rajasthan Royals  vs  Lucknow Super Giants

The match between Lucknow Super Giants vs Rajasthan Royals is going to be held shortly. The match will be held at Sawai Mansingh Stadium. Only one T20 match has been played at this ground before, so it is difficult to predict how the pitch will behave in today's match. But looking at the pitch, I think the batsmen will have a lot of advantage in this match.

Rajasthan Royals won the toss and elected to bat. Both teams have very strong squads. Especially the batting order of both teams is strong. So chances of seeing high scores in today's match are high. However, I consider Lucknow as favorites in today's match. Looks like Kl Rahul's team will win today.

In the Kolkata Knight Riders vs Sunrisers Hyderabad match, the Kolkata team collected 208 runs by batting in the first innings. In today's match Kolkata team's batsmen two players have performed exceptionally well due to which they managed to get a huge score. Salt and Russell's superb half-centuries put Kolkata in the lead, and they have a chance to win today. But at the moment Sunrise Hyderabad are batting, and they are in great form and if they can hold on till the last minute then victory is possible. If Sunrise Hyderabad has not lost any wicket at that moment, then if they continue to play, they may be able to meet the target of 209 runs. And today's score made by Kolkata is very difficult for Hyderabad to meet this target, so they have to play well

Great innings played by by salt and Russell rather than them none of their batters scored brilliantly, but somehow, due to these two guys contributions, they were finally able to hit a 200+ target otherwise things were very tough for them to recover after  the middle order disaster collapse, But when it comes to Hyderabad batting some of their top order batters played quite badly with a lowest strike rate which create huge problem for them to meet the required run rate, after some of thier important dismissal most of us taught it gona be huge margin defeat for Hyderabad because they are already far away form his requirements

In the third game Sunrisers Hyderabad won the toss and bowled first Kolkata Knight Riders made a big score on board 208/7 in compete overs. Andre Russell played brilliant innings of 64 runs on just 25 balls phil Salt also scored fifty KkR and gave a good total to SRH. Natarajan took three key wickets SRH failed to chase the target they only lost the game by four runs short of the target and made 204 in the completed over of the second inning. Heinrich Klaasen's 63 runs on 29 balls gave a little hope to their team but after losing that wicket they lost excellent bowling by Harshit Rana he defended thirteen runs in the last over and took 33/3 wickets in four overs KKR won this match by four just runs the brilliant start of this session.

However, I consider Lucknow as favorites in today's match. Looks like Kl Rahul's team will win today.

I thought that the starting of Rajasthan Royals will not be good in this match, I see that they have scored 49 runs in 5 overs, their current run rate is close to 10. However, maybe because of playing with so much heat, their runs came well, but they already lost two wickets within 5 overs. And these two wickets were very important for Rajasthan Royals. These two were their openers Judge Buttler and Yashasvi Jaiswal.
I don't want to underestimate any team in terms of strength but Lucknow Super Giant's performance in the last Indian Premier League was good while Rajasthan Royals' performance was much worse than them and Lucknow Super Giants faced them once in the last IPL season and Rajasthan Royals lost. . Let's see who can win today although the run speed of Rajasthan Royals looks good today but the result of the match can be predicted after Lucknow Super Giants start batting.

However, I consider Lucknow as favorites in today's match. Looks like Kl Rahul's team will win today.

Rajasthan managed to collect 54 runs in 6 overs of power play. It is quite a good collection no doubt. But they lost two crucial wickets of Jaiswal and Buttler. Jaiswal returned to the dressing room with 24 runs off 12 balls and Buttler 11 off 9 balls. Captain Samson and Riyan parag are now at the crease.

I would say the batting order of both the teams is quite strong. But the bowling lineup of both the teams is somewhat weak. Because of this I think the bowlers of the team who can bowl under control will win. The pitch is helping the batsmen. It is not a bowling friendly pitch. So it is possible to score high on this pitch. If Rajasthan set a target of less than 180 then Lucknow will win this match very easily.

[Sithara007]

LOL.. finally it looks like Riyan Parag is going to get launched in this edition of the Indian Premier League. For the last 10 seasons or so, Rajasthan Royals management had provided a regular spot for him in the playing XI, despite getting nothing in return. It looks like he has finally managed to make use of his opportunities. And given the fact that he has powerful backers in the BCCI, I expect him to feature in the national team without much delay. Another player with powerful backers (Sanju Samson) is batting from the other end.

Let's see who can win today although the run speed of Rajasthan Royals looks good today but the result of the match can be predicted after Lucknow Super Giants start batting.

Despite losing two quick wickets, Rajasthan team is in a good position now. At the end of 14.5 overs, Rajasthan Royals managed to collect 142 runs by losing 3 wickets. Captain Sanju Samson remains unbeaten with 59 off 39 balls and Ryan Parag is out with 43 off 29 balls. Captain Samson is playing well today.

Apart from Krunal Pandya, no other bowler of Lucknow could bowl controlled. Every bowler gave a lot of runs. Krunal Pandya could not take any wicket but he gave only 19 runs in 4 overs. Rajasthan's batting looks like they will collect 200+ today. Hetmyre, Ashwin and Jurel are also good enough batsmen. They are capable of batting at a smart strike rate.

[BALIK]

Another player with powerful backers (Sanju Samson) is batting from the other end.

Rajasthan Royals team could not collect 200 runs till the end. After losing 4 wickets at the end of 20 overs, Rajasthan Royals scored 193 runs. The Rajasthan Royals team has been able to provide a big enough target. Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson was unbeaten with 82 off 52 balls. Besides, Riyan Parag scored 43 runs off 29 balls. A target of 194 runs is a big enough target. Rajasthan's bowlers have a chance to win if they can bowl under control.

Almost every bowler of the Super Giants has given a lot of runs today. I will not blame the bowlers. Because the pitch was completely batting friendly. Scoring close to 200 on this pitch is not a difficult task. However, Rajasthan managed to set a big target of 194 runs. Even then, if the bowlers do not bowl well, there is no chance for Rajasthan Royals to win.

I don't think what made you think Parag was included in Playing XI because of influence in the BCCI?

Riyan Parag usually comes at lower down the order that's why he can't make performances in terms of stats but he always comes in handy at crucial matches and he had very good domestic tournaments this year which forced RR team management to promote to his natural batting order and expect more in stats.

The Indian Premier League 5th match has started, in this match Mumbai Indians vs Gujarat Titans. In today's match I have selected Mumbai Indians as favorite and bet for Mumbai Indians team. In this match, Mumbai Indians won the toss and decided to field first. I think the decision to bowl first is a very good decision for Mumbai Indians. Now if the bowlers of the Mumbai Indians team can show serious form in bowling, Mumbai Indians will not have to work hard to win this match. The bowlers of the Mumbai Indians team have so far managed to take two wickets with 81 runs in 9.5 overs. Now according to me bowlers of Indian team should be more conscious to stop the score of Gujarat tetanus. Now let's see what happens in the end

Lol don't take Sithara seriously when she uses these keywords -Nepotism,BCCI, powerful backing with -insert name of any player-. So overall, in my experience, she tends to exaggerate whenever she touches this topic.

Pandaya picked a new ball, only to get belted and the crowd booing him continuously. Fun time! I'd accept nothing less from his former franchise fanbase

[Out of mind]

Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians is the fifth match between the two teams. Gujarat are batting in first innings, and they have already lost 5 wickets, although chances of Gujarat team winning today's match is very low, but Mumbai Indians are bowling well at the moment. The chances of Mumbai Indians winning are very high, but how well they will perform in today's match will be understood at the beginning of the game. Gujarat Titans batsman Sai Sudharsan is in great form of batting performance in today's match, but he is out due to which the number of runs will also decrease at the moment. Right now with 5 wickets lost and overs too few, I think Gujarat can score 180 runs in today's match, they have 135 runs in 17 overs right now.

[Bitcoin Smith]

GT middle order kind of weak due to the absence of Pandya even though other players can fill his spot had starts but failed to convert into big scores. On the other hand MI looks complete and multiple options in their bowling won't let the batsmen to settle down at all.

MI will likely to start with a winning note in this tournament but let's wait what we yet to witness for the remaining day.

[rojan]

In today's 5th match, Gujarat Titans batted first and gave Mumbai Indians a target of 169 runs after finishing the game in 20 overs. I think Mumbai Indians will not face much problem to meet this target. Because it is a very easy target for the Mumbai Indians team. The players of the Mumbai Indians team "have enough power" to meet the target of 169 runs. Mumbai Indians team has many good batsmen.  I am hopeful that they will be able to complete this target very easily and ensure the victory of this match. However, if the bowlers of the Mumbai Indians team could have done a little better in bowling then the Mumbai Indians team would have faced a smaller score target. Now let's wait for the second innings. And let's see how easily Mumbai Indians can win this match.

Gujarat Titans got off to a great start today against Mumbai Indians.Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Titans are facing off in one of the most popular matches of the Indian Premier League.We saw that in the previous Indian Premier League, Gujarat Titans faced Chennai Super Kings in the final but they were defeated by Chennai in that match.The Gujarat Titans team is facing today against Mumbai Indians in this match, Gujarat batted first but they could not score favorable runs against Mumbai.

Gujarat have not been able to bat well but they have been able to hit the Mumbai Indians fortress from the start and try to hold them down, let's see how much they can do today. Rohit Sharma and Naman Dhir, who are currently rocking the field for Mumbai Indians, will become increasingly formidable against Gujarat's bowlers until they are out. Afghanistan's Azmatullah has been giving a brilliant bowling performance for Gujarat today, he has already dismissed two Mumbai batsmen and sent them back to the pavilion.

Gujarat TiTans team played very well and give the target of 169 run .  Mumbai indians has just started to play and they have lose  two wicket for 30 runs in the beginning, which seems to be putting a lot of pressure on their team and if you look at it, the Mumbai indians team is looking completely shock out.  And now Brevis and N. Dhir are batting for Mumbai indians now they need a good innings. Mumbai indians batting side Sudharsan Played very well  and made 43 run only 39 balls excellent inning and S. Gill played also well he made 31 run in 25 balls . Now let's see if Mumbai will be able to fulfill this target.
