T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

Mumbai having the upper hand at this point? WTF man!

Win Probability says MI has only 2.76% chance of winning this match. Seriously?  

Mumbai has no chance to win this game, even if they play good at one point, they are gonna bottle due to pressure. Each dot ball, single increases RRR significantly.

And they don't have batters left either, Tilak gone and Tim David has come, and he's not finding timing. MI requires sixes and looking for sixes they are bound to lose wickets as all other prior batters did, and there is nothing left to come.

[hafiztalha]

Already these two opening batsmen Ishan Kishan and Rohit Sharma have been out in the power play. Mumbai Indians will be under pressure if the wicket falls in the power play, Mumbai Indians will have to lose if they do not score more runs in the last minute. Because the Sunrise Hyderabad team's target of 277 runs is very big.

Yes target is very hard and big and SRH team effort in this game so brilliant and they batted in batting lineup very outstandingly. Two more wickets fell down of MI team Naman Dhir and Tilak Varma, now their chance for win in this game is more up reduce and their team player have a lot of pressure on them for big target. In 4 overs, MI team needs 88 runs and this is too difficult to chase this target in low balls. If Ishan Kishan and Rohit Sharma was not dismissed from pitch then and their team have some hope to win but now they lost this game definitely. In every single ball Mi team need 3 runs which is not possible to score. After finish this game, H.Klaasen batsman will get a player of game award due to brilliant effort in batting and he scored 80 runs in 34 balls with four 4s and seven 6s. Lets see how many runs SRH team will win this Game.

Mumbai Indians vs Sunrisers Hyderabad in today's 8th match of Indian Premier League. In today's match, Sunrisers Hyderabad lost the toss and scored 277 runs by batting first at the invitation of Mumbai Indians. The score of 277 runs is the highest record in this year's IPL. Sunrisers Hyderabad was able to score 277 runs due to the responsible batting of Sunrisers Hyderabad batsmen. On the other hand, the bowling of the Mumbai Indians bowlers was very poor. Boralas of the Mumbai Indians team could not show anything good. Poor bowling by the Mumbai Indians bowlers could not prevent Sunrisers Hyderabad from scoring big. I think the target of 278 runs given by Sunrisers Hyderabad in this match today is sky high target for Mumbai Indians team. Completing the target of 278 runs is not an easy task for the Mumbai Indians players. Now we just have to see how much the Mumbai Indians team can reduce the gap of the target of 278 runs.

I have rarely seen such a high run target in a T20 match Sunrisers Hyderabad played very excitedly setting a target of 277 runs in 20 overs is a great achievement. Mumbai Indians could not run accordingly as they scored 193 runs in 16.1 overs so far.  Mumbai Indians now need 85 runs in 3.4 overs at an average of around 4 runs per ball. It is impossible to win a match with such a score.  So Hyderabad win is sure today. Sunrisers Hyderabad seriously batted very well

[Sithara007]

LOL.. these guys never get tired or what? First it was Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan. Once these two got out, it was the turn of Naman Dhir and Tilak Varma. And now it is Hardik Pandya and Tim David. But even after such spectacular performances from all these players, Mumbai Indians are nowhere close to winning. The difference here is that Travis Head and Heinrich Klaasen were just unbelievable. The best of MI batsmen are still not enough to overcome the blitzkrieg from Head and Klaasen. Just two overs remain now. 

[libert19]

MI loses the match by mere 31 runs while chasing 277, I love your resilience MI, any other team would have likely given up from the very start. Well done!

[ZAINmalik75]

Mumbai Indians are strong on paper. But they are not performing well ever since Hard dick Pandya was named as the captain of the squad. Fans are booing him, and even some of the players are not happy playing under his captaincy. So far they have played one match, and lost it. Today they are up against a relatively weak team and it is a good opportunity for them to get the first points for this season. BTW Surya Kumar Yadav will miss today's match as well, as he is still recovering from ankle surgery.

Yeh it's true we have seen some player like bumrah were not happy under Hardik captaincy anyway Mumbai management should think twice before done such terrible decision, I think I am not agree with your statement of calling Hyderabad a weak team because they have delivered unexpectedly quality performance in his recent and today they were more on fire and scored one of the highest target of the IPL at that season till now and especially I am really surprised with a young A.Sharma and African monster klassen performance because through thier aggressive innings they build a tough strong target but when it come to chase I taught Mumbai will lose it with huge margin but some magnificent innings from thier player help them to reach at least closed to target but unfortunately they unable to divert results in thier favour and lose his important match

Maybe VadaPavBiryani.

The highest score in the IPL, the previous highest was 263. It was a pure massacre and mind you there was no mindless hitting like ramp shots etc but cricketing shots with brute force were on display.

Lol! I was checking the previous highest score and noticed that Gayle helped RCB score 263, but that was pipped quite easily to 2nd position thanks to Head, Abhishek, Markram and Klaasen.

I was stunned to see MI score 245 under such insane pressure. This just proves that the pitch is batting heaven and MI and SRH bowling has been mediocre so far this season.

[tbterryboy]

Currently, we are having good time for Asian women's teams as they are having enough matches against top teams which are going to help them for having good experience and also improve their quality which is important today we have ODI series which Australia whitewashed to Bangladesh, and now we are having another match which is playing at the Benoni South Africa vs Sri Lanka after winning toss Sri Lanka elected to field first which was not good decision with South Africa posted huge target for them with the help of captain Laura Wolvaardt century as she hits 12 boundaries and 3 sixes on 63 balls and Marizanne Kapp score 60 runs on 40 balls which was enough for having 198 on score board.

While chasing this huge target right now Sri Lanka is having just 22 runs with the lost of one wicket in 3.3 overs most chances we will have big won for the home side but still we can expect good fight from Sri Lanka.

Today's match is amazing and in this match, the Sunrisers Hyderabad batsmen have set a target of 277 in the 20 over innings.  This is a very difficult target.  And I don't think it will be done by Mumbai Indians batsmen.  Very few teams have made this goal.  And their batsmen have given such a difficult target with a lot of hard work and struggle.  Mumbai Indians batsmen need 228 runs off 102 balls.  Which will not be done by them.  Mumbai Indians batsmen have lost 2 wickets in 10 balls.  And they are performing very badly.  Mumbai Indians team is not going to win today match.  Finally, we see the result.  Who will win the match and who will not.Sunrisers batsmen have played today match with full interest.  And will win it.  They have already made their victory by giving a very difficult target.

[Compromise me]

Sunrisers Hyderabad do have a very good chance to get to the record for highest team total in the IPL. Previous record was made long back in 23rd April 2013, when Royal Challengers Bangalore made 263/5 against Pune Warriors at Bangalore. Back then Chris Gayle made a massive individual score of 175, from just 66 balls (and then picked up 2 wickets while bowling as well). At this point, SRH are at 214/3 with 4 more overs to go. Scoring rate dropped down a bit, but even now there is a chance that this record will be broken.

Mumbai Indians lose the match by 31 runs. Sunrisers played very well and at the end they won the match . Whole team performance was excellent.   Klassen made excellent 80 runs in just 34 balls and remained alive at the end of inning . Abhishek Sharma played well and he made 63 runs in just 23 balls , Travis head made 62 runs in just 24 balls and Markram made 42 runs in 28 balls and he also remained not out at the end of inning. Mumbai Indians tried their best to win this match but they lose the match at the end . Mumbai Indians bowlers didn't play well and that is reason of lose of match of Mumbai Indians.

[|MINER|]

What a craziest match that was man! I think more than half of the sixes and fours that have been scored in this Indian Premier League season so far have been in this match. Today's match has been very much like that, it doesn't matter which team lost, after getting the performance of both teams, I would say that Sunrisers Hyderabad took full advantage of the batting friend's pitch, on the other hand, Mumbai Indians did not do bad, they scored 246 runs, which is the second highest run of this IPL season.

What a fantastic performance from Sunrisers Hyderabad. They lost the last match against Kolkata by just a few runs. Today, revenge for losing that match came against Mumbai Indians. the only except Mayank Agarwal batted brilliantly. Expected a good performance from Klaasen, especially in the last match but it ended up falling short. But he didn't make that kind of mistake in today's match. He brilliantly perform and change the state of the match to such a stage that it is not a very easy task for any team. As far as I know there is no team in the history of IPL has more runs than today. Last saw the highest score of 263 runs in 2013. But it is not the fact that Mumbai Indians have also done badly. They also scored a good score of 246 runs. Everyone contributed well to the team.

Sunrisers Hyderabad is a team with world class batsmen and quite ordinary bowlers. They have Mayank Agarwal and Abhishek Sharma as the local players, and then Travis Head, Aiden Markram and Heinrich Klaasen as the overseas contingent. They broke several records today, but the fact that MI came so close should be a concern. Apart from Pat Cummins they don't have any good bowlers. Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jaydev Unadkat are close to retirement and they are out of form. And ever since Rashid Khan left, they are devoid of a quality spinner.

I won't blame the bowlers here because the pitch was insanely good to bat on and every batter had a field day. It doesn't help that the longest boundary (Straight) was only 77 meters and square boundaries were around 65-67 meters. The kind of power modern batters have and adding big trees disguised as a bat in equation with an absolute road. IMO it's a perfect recipe for massacre, one can only pray for the bowlers.

Sunrisers Hyderabad won this match by 31 runs against Mumbai Indians. While chasing down a big target Mumbai Indians scored 246 runs in a loss of 5 wickets and lost the match by a few runs short of the target. The Player of the Match is Abhishek Sharma for his amazing batting performance scored 63 runs from just 23 balls and Tim David important 42 runs unbeaten from just 22 balls which helped his team to set a huge total.

[JahriMeayer]

Sunrisers Hyderabad was on fire today. They played against Mumbai Indians and won the match by 31 runs. Sunrisers Hyderabad makes their supporters surprised by showing their ability in this match. Travis Head(62), Abhishek Sharma (63), specially Heinrich Klaasen made 80 runs from 34 balls which was epic. They total collected 277 runs. Besides Mumbai Indians also played well. Tilak Varma(64), Tim David (42) and many players tried to apply their Best effort to fulfill the runs given by Sunrisers Hyderabad as a Target but Mumbai Indians failed to stand before the storm performance of Sunrisers Hyderabad and yeah, Sunrisers Hyderabad archive the victory today

South Africa W vs Sirilanka W
now we are having another match which is playing at the Benoni South Africa vs Sri Lanka after winning toss Sri Lanka elected to field first which was not good decision with South Africa posted huge target for them with the help of captain Laura Wolvaardt century as she hits 12 boundaries and 3 sixes on 63 balls and Marizanne Kapp score 60 runs on 40 balls which was enough for having 198 on score board.

While chasing this huge target right now Sri Lanka is having just 22 runs with the lost of one wicket in 3.3 overs most chances we will have big won for the home side but still we can expect good fight from Sri Lanka.

Well we have seen mostly that out of Asian continent team mostly have dominance over Asian continent team and I think the reason may be that Asian continent women team adopt cricket later compared to other like Australia, England etc and due to less experienced they were facing such trouble, But I think with time they will gain each and everything they required but it will take time, anyway if we have a look at current score board where sirilanka allow thier opponent to bat first and as a result we have seen a huge Target which was already expected despite if they bat second too they has abilities to Handel such situation. So through thier captain magnificent century they able to hit such figures but while chasing the under pressure sirilankan team unable to give a good start at early stage and thus they lose with huge margin of 70+ runs but still if they fill thier gap they can make a strong comback

Yes you are right sunrise Hyderabad has a world-class batsman which increases the chances of their winnings but apart from the batsman a good and productive bowlalso needs to restrict the opponent from a high score. In the match with Mumbai Indians, they gave them 246 runs which in my view is a high score but I think the bowlers did a good job by taking 5 wickets and each giving them a small run Yeah, the batsman chased the target and won the match very easily and their performance was very good. So both the bowlers and batsman have good in their respective things let see how much they will go the same throughout the event.

[libert19]

What are chances that we'll see MI captainship change within this season itself? Team's foundation heavily depends on first few overs and when you don't give over to Bumrah, you are leaking runs and are not getting wickets thus putting pressure onto your team.

Also, the MI playing XI's tail was too long yesterday, there needed an all rounder like Nabi there.

Maybe VadaPavBiryani.

Yet Cummins and Bumrah were more economic than others, don't you think skill is also at work here however the pitch may be?

Non Asian teams are better than Asian teams in cricket for reasons other than when women cricket started in different places. Things like having good facilities money good coaches and programs to develop talent help teams like Australia and England succeed. Asian teams are trying to get better but they need to invest more in sport to catch up and do well internationally. In match we are talking about Sri Lanka had hard time with both bowling and batting even though their captain did really well by scoring hundred runs. Sri Lanka needs to work on fixing their weaknesses especially in beginning of their innings to do better in future matches.
