T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

No, it's a high scoring ground no matter what.

Tonight RCB did bowl well and 2 bouncers per over rule did play its part and it's working in favor of bowlers, which is an incredible addition IMO, otherwise batters feast on bowlers every single time.

176 doesn't look very high target as RCB are 85 for 2 in 10 overs. 90 runs more required to win the game with 8 wickets in hand. The probability of RCB winning this game is high as compared to Punjab Kings. Shikhar Dhawan the Punjab captain has been dropped from national team in all formats for over a year and it's good to see him performing in IPL. He might be selected in T20 team is he performs well in this IPL.

A target of 177 runs cannot be called a big target. But bowlers and fielders of Punjab Kings are doing quite well now. And right now the match is under the control of Punjab Kings.

At the end of 11 overs, Bengaluru players have lost 3 wickets and collected 88 runs. Apart from Kohli, none of the batsmen in Bengaluru's squad batted well. Although Rajat Patidar collected 18 runs, he batted at only 100 strike rate. If Kohli's innings is longer, Bengaluru will have no problem winning this match. But if Kohli does not play a big innings, it will be very difficult for Bengaluru to win this match.

I placed a bet in favour of Gujarat Titans but sadly they lost the game. Gujarat Titans lost this match by 6 runs, In the 5th game Mumbai Indians won the toss and bowling first Gujarat Titans made 168/6 in completed overs. Sudharsan 45 runs and Shubman Gill played 31 runs innings with excellent bowling by Jasprit Bumrah took 14/3 wickets in 4 overs while Coetzee took 2 wickets. Gujarat Titans set a target of 169 runs to Mumbai Indians but they made 162 runs and lost this match by only 6 runs Dewald Brevis 46 and Rohit Sharma innings played useless while on the other end Azmatullah, Umesh yadav, Spencer johnson and Mohit Sharma each took 2, 2 wickets.

Bro, are you out of mind, because in yesterday game, Gujarat Titans have won as they played first and then gave target of 168 but at the end we have 162 from the Mumbai Indians which lost this match by 6 runs with if you have bet on Gujarat Titans then surely you have money into your account.

We have worst ever response from the lower middle order of the Mumbai Indians which easily give this game to Gujarat Titans and this is going to be not good for the new captain Hardick Pandya which is already under fire for his move and now poor start of this season for the Mumbai Indians.

True the target given by Punjab Kings was an average score as the t-20 format. But Currently Royal Challengers Bengaluru is on 116 and their have  four wickets gone so 6 wickets in their hand  and they have more 31 bowl and they need more 60 run to win. In my opinion even then they have 6 wicket hand they should manage their current run rate more higher. Because the required runrate is going to sky.
But if the Punjab Kings bowling could have some more wickets then the Royal Challengers Bengaluru winning probability will be reduce. But I will believe on virat kohli he is on strike and doing really good.

176 runs may not be very big but currently it seems very big for the team of Royal Challengers Bengaluru. To win this match against Punjab Kings, Royal Challengers Bengaluru need fifty eight runs from 29 balls and they have six wickets in hand. Today's match is getting more and more exciting as the balls are decreasing and runs are increasing instead. One of the best batsmen of Royal Challengers Bangalore team they failed today too they are Glenn Maxwell Duplessis and Cameron Green they three did not bat well today. Royal Challengers Bengaluru team is still hoping to win this match because their batting pillar Virat Kohli is still unbeaten with 75 runs and maybe RCB will win today. What Royal Challengers Bengaluru needs right now is for Virat Kohli to patiently tackle every ball and other players to give Virat Kohli the right support.

Chinnaswamy venue is getting slower from it's usual pace? The run scoring is not easy as used to be but credit goes to Siraj and Yash for bowling tighter lengths that kept the scoring rate lower.

Still the target is easy for RCB standard but need a couple of decent partnership to win this match.

No, it's a high scoring ground no matter what.

Tonight RCB did bowl well and 2 bouncers per over rule did play its part and it's working in favor of bowlers, which is an incredible addition IMO, otherwise batters feast on bowlers every single time.

So it's just due to the beginning of the season, I guess. But players mentioned that pitch doesn't looks like the usual pitch and there is some uneven bounce as well as ball slides off the pitch makes run scoring a little bit difficult.

RCB win the match in the end, again great knock from DK their Imp sub did the job perfectly. RCB is struggling in the middle phase that needs to be sorted out if they want to achieve their forever dream.

Although Royal Challengers are a strong team in batting, there is no way to say what will happen at that moment. Especially in IPL matches you have to wait till the last ball. Considering the way Mumbai Indians lost to Gujarat Titans yesterday, there could have been danger in today's match as well but it didn't happen. We saw till the last over it was not possible to predict which team was going to win. They needed 10 off just 6 balls in the last over. A boundary for 6 from Karthik's bat in the first ball of the 20th over and in the second ball get extra. Both teams played well but definitely need to score more to win on this pitch. If you can't score 200 on such a pitch, there is no chance of winning.

Yeh it's true royal challengers Bangalore has mostly dominance over them that why they are more confident while playing against them and especially when ever king kohli stand they will win as he always delivered best for his team mostly at crucial situation and such things we mostly have seen mostly when he play for his national team again paksitan, anyway target was fair not much tough and can be possible tough if they get Kohli before he done any damage, while if we have a look on opponent batting line-up thier big name failed to done awesome especially like Livingston, Curran and some Thier local player. Anyway thier bowling has done a good job compared to thier batting because I was expecting RCB to chased the target by just losing 2 wickets but the way they done damage in last was extraordinary but unfortunately unable to divert results in thier favor

[vennali]

Cometh the hour, Cometh the man! The experience of Dinesh Kartick was invaluable for RCB while the situation looked dire. A quick 28 of 10 while the impact sub also playing his part in scoring quick 17 of 8. RCB get on the board of points table on their 2nd attempt. Teams are looking fairly even and well matched in the IPL this season. I guess that's what happens when we have the luxury to splurge cash into buying good players for the franchise.

Yes Royal Challengers Bangalore was doing well against their opponents which probably makes them feel more confident when they play against them. Having Virat Kohli in team also helps boost their confidence because we know that he has a really good history of performing well in important moments. By the way target set by opponents may have seemed fair what really matters is how whole team performs not just one player. It is also important to mention that opponents batters may not have done as well but credit should be given to RCB bowlers for doing a good job in stopping them from scoring too many runs. By the way match was really interesting RCB won by 4 wickets with remaining 4 ball.

Punjab Kings vs Royal Challengers Bangalore

The sixth match of the 2024 Indian Premier League is underway.In this match, Punjab Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore have entered the field to face each other. In today's match, Royal Challengers Bangalore won the toss first and elected to field first, allowing Punjab Kings to bat first. I would not say that Punjab Kings batsmen batted very well today they batted fairly well today.When Punjab Kings' opening batsman Jonny Bairstow got out for 17, Punjab Kings were under a bit of pressure. Punjab Kings skipper Shikhar Dhawan has scored the team's individual highest run for Punjab Kings today, he was dismissed for 45 runs off 37 balls. In today's match Punjab Kings team total is 176 runs maybe it is nothing for Royal Challengers Bangalore team as their batting line up is very strong.

The Punjab Kings team managed to provide the target of 177 runs today. Is it enough to win against a team like Bengaluru? I thought Punjab would provide a bigger target today. Because Bengaluru's batting order is very strong. A high score is absolutely necessary to win against this team.

Sikhar Dhawan scored the maximum 45 runs for Punjab. However, Sikhar Dhawan's strike rate was only 121. Besides, every batsman can bat a bit better, but no batsman can score big.
Mohammad Siraj and Yash Dayal bowled very well today. Siraj picked up two wickets with 26 runs in 4 overs. And Yash Dayal picked up a wicket with 23 runs in 4 overs.

finally, RCB won this match by four wickets. In the sixth game of IPL Royal Challengers Bengaluru won the toss and bowling first Punjab Kings made 176/6 in completed overs. Shikhar Dhawan played 45 runs innings while Mohammad Siraj and Glenn Maxwell took 2, 2 wickets. RCB successfully chased the target in the last overs 178/6 four balls remaining in the game. Virat Kohli played an excellent inning of 77 runs on 49 balls and Dinesh Karthik 28 runs innings on just 10 balls helped his team to win this match other ends Harpreet Brar and Kagiso Rabada took 2, 2 wickets Virat Kohli got man of the match for his excellent match-winning knock.

As i mentioned earlier, the new rule of 2 bouncers per over played its part here and will continue to do so in almost every match.

It gives bowlers another weapon in batting friendly format. Chinnaswamy's boundaries are small and it's six hitting ground, batters do this for fun here but it didn't happen last night.

Also, not a fan of the Impact player rule in the IPL. It changes the equation so drastically, it's good for theatrics and will provide thrillers but won't produce all rounders in the long run.

Yes you are right having experienced players like Dinesh Kartick can make huge difference in crucial moments of match. His quick innings definitely helped RCB get their first win of season. However I do not think that splurging cash on players is only factor that determines competitiveness of teams in IPL. It also comes down to team strategy coaching and player chemistry. It will be interesting to see how rest of season unfolds and if other teams can also step up and perform well.

To be honest, I was very annoyed by Royal Challengers Bangalore's batting in this match. Bengaluru team won this match only because of the batting of Kohli, Dinesh Karthik and Mahipal Lomror.

The target of the match was not big. But the performance of Punjab's bowlers and fielders was really good in this match. On the other hand, the performance of Bengaluru's batsmen was poor. Du Plessis 3 runs off 7 balls. Cameroon Green and Maxwell both collected 3 runs off 5 balls. Although Rajat collected 18 runs, he batted at only 100 strike rate.
Virat Kohli played an excellent innings of 77 runs off 49 balls. And in the last minute, Dinesh Karthik's 28 runs off just 10 balls and Mahipal Lomror's 8 for 17 runs helped Bengaluru to win the match. Didn't think Bengaluru would play this badly with such a strong batting order.

[libert19]

Still the target is easy for RCB standard but need a couple of decent partnership to win this match.

176 target was defendable, whether RCB can chase score or not heavily depends on their star players (Faf, Kohli, Maxwell and now I'd also Green to the list), out of which Kohli performed good yesterday, had Bairstow taken that first over catch and had Kohli departed early, RCB would have come under huge pressure and likely would have lost the game.

Shikhar Dhawan the Punjab captain has been dropped from national team in all formats for over a year and it's good to see him performing in IPL. He might be selected in T20 team is he performs well in this IPL.

There is no chance for Shikhar to get selected in t20wc squad, there is already tough competition for top order. It's likely Gill, Jaiswal, Rohit, Kohli, Surya who are going to make it, out of these Rohit has already been declared as T20 wc squad captain.

BTW, I really missed Surya in MI game yesterday.

[Popkon6]

RCB are on the backfoot at the moment thanks to Punjab applying pressure regularly. Kohli was dropped on naught and is racing towards a half century, but he isn't getting proper support from the other end.

I feel Punjab will win this one though it will probably go right down to the wire. Let's see what happens.

Due to Virat Kohli's good performance as an opening batsman, Royal Challengers Bangalore team was the only one to win. But other batsmen could not support Virat Kohli, he alone has performed well for a long time, if he could have been supported from the beginning, then surely Virat Kohli had a chance to score a century. But if Punjab Kings could have performed well in terms of bowling then there was definitely a chance to win, but you should note Arshdeep Singh's bowling performance was bad once, Punjab Kings must have lost because he couldn't put the team under pressure in the last minute. He gave 40 runs in 3.2 balls, that's why Royal Challenger Bangalore team managed to win.

Virat Kohli played one of the most important and effective innings yesterday for Royal Challengers Bangalore. Had he not played such a patient innings yesterday, his team might have failed to win the game, but two batsmen have to be credited for being the last finishers. As long as Virat Kohli was in the field for Royal Challengers Bengaluru yesterday's match his team was quite comfortable but after his dismissal his team came under some pressure. After Virat Kohli's dismissal the duo of Dinesh Karthik and Mahipal lomror were fully on fire to handle the pressure and were both in attacking roles. Royal Challengers Bangalore got their first win in this year's Indian Premier League in yesterday's match and Virat Kohli's incredible contribution behind this first win resulted in him getting the man of the match award.

Dream11 is doing better IPL promotion than IPL itself and their ads are actually engaging & funny, they do get repetitive if seen frequently but it doesn't change the fact that you feel entertained when you watch'em first few times. Hopefully, they will keep pushing out new stuff instead of keep giving mouthful of same.

BTW, I really missed Surya in MI game yesterday.

No matter how good Shikar or Kartik perform, they should not be near the WC squad. Their time is up for good and after this T-20 WC Rohit and Kohli should also empty the slot.

Gill won't find a place in the Playing XI because Jaiswal and Rohit are set for the opening slot, he can become a backup opener though but competition is tough.

[libert19]

GT, CSK, MI matches are always exciting and when matches are between themselves it's icing on the cake.

Today we have GT vs CSK, IMO CSK has upper hand here as they have supreme batting depth and are more likely to give huge score/chase a big one, however their bowling sucks big time— it's bad luck for them that Pathirana is injured.

I'm expecting good competition whoever wins.

There is no chance for Shikhar to get selected in t20wc squad, there is already tough competition for top order. It's likely Gill, Jaiswal, Rohit, Kohli, Surya who are going to make it, out of these Rohit has already been declared as T20 wc squad captain.

~cut~

Gill won't find a place in the Playing XI because Jaiswal and Rohit are set for the opening slot, he can become a backup opener though but competition is tough.

Has Gill got any chance as one down batsman?
