T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[tsaroz]

Another loss of RCB, now they are with their old friend MI are at the bottom of the table and are planning to stay there for some time.
RCB won the toss and asked Lucknow Super Giants to bat first. LSG batting 20 overs created an average score (on IPL standards) of 181 runs at the loss of 5 wickets.
Quinton de Kock was he hero for them scoring 81 teams alone. Nicholas Pooran's 40 of 21 balls was the final push on the scoreboard at the last overs of LSG batting.
RCB started struggling when Virat Kohli got out for 22  runs, they kept on losing wickets and were always behind the required run rate.

Oman vs Namibia 2nd T20

Yesterday the 1st match of T20 series between Oman and Namibia took place where Namibia won. Oman scored 109 yesterday, Namibia won by 4 wickets in 18.4 overs. The second match of the series will be held today. Namibia lead 1-0 after winning the 1st match so Oman needs to win to level the series 1-1 today. I predict Namibia will win today too. Because Namibia's batting and bowling line is better than Oman. Namibia is leading in the T20 format. However, Oman won the toss and elected to bat. Let's see how many runs Target Oman can give.

The match between Oman and Namibia has started and Oman won the toss and decided to bat first. Oman current score is 58 runs in loss of just 1 wickets. Kashyap Prajapati is out after scoring 20 runs from 22 balls. Now Athavale is playing at 21 and A. Ilyas is playing at 13 runs not both players looking good and this partnership is very important for Oman if they score a big total for Namibia.

This is a great achievement for the Oman team.  Their batsmen set a target of 137 in 20 overs.  And it wasn't not such a difficult target.  But the Namibian batsmen could not meet this target and would lose the match.  Namibia batsmen will lose the match by 6 runs.  If they had speeded up a little earlier they could have won the match.  My congratulations to the Oman team for the win and may they continue to play like this and win matches.

It is true that Oman team won the second T20 against Namibia but I would say that Namibia played better than Oman in both the T20 matches. If you watch the first T20 match between these two teams you will see that Namibia cricket team beat Oman cricket team by four wickets. Similarly if we observe the second T20 match between these two teams we will see that Oman did not score many runs batting first. In the second T20 match, the Oman cricket team batted first and collected only 137 runs for seven wickets in the scheduled 20 overs. Batting on a target of 138 runs the Namibian cricket team fell in the first wicket for 0 runs, causing them to suffer a batting disaster from the start.

Moreover, I think one of the reasons for the defeat of the Namibian cricket team in this match ie the second T20 match, is that two of their team's batsmen were dismissed for zero runs. If those two batsmen had not been dismissed for zero runs perhaps the Namibian cricket team could have won the match without being defeated by six runs in today's match.

The target was not very big considering the team but this simple target was made very big by the Bangalore batsmen.  There are many other famous stars in RCB including Virat Kohli, such a performance from RCB is disappointing. If the batsmen could have stayed on the wicket, they would have scored runs later, there was no need for Bengaluru to rush the power play. Every season the expectations of the RCB fans are high but since the beginning of the season RCB has disappointed the fans every time. Where we expect one win after another from this team, this team is giving us one defeat after another. Still, best of luck to the team as there is still plenty of time, hopefully this team will turn around in time.

Captain Chipo Mugeri-Tiripano played well in this destroying situation. Only she played against Papua New Guinea Women. Only she reached the score of 50. Zimbabwe Women's team wasn't the lowest. I know they can recover their self. For her responsibility, the team reached a score where they just fought against them. It is not a winning score for today. They just reached 136/6. 136 isn't a challenging score for today's match.

Lucknow Super Giants outstanding all-round performance in this match and won by 28 runs against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Quinton de Kock excellent batting scored 81 runs from just 56 balls he just missed his well-deserved century by a few runs short but reached a team total of 180 plus. The Player of the Match is Mayank Yadav for his amazing bowling spell picked up 3 important wickets by just giving 14 runs and Naveen-ul-Haq also picked 2 wickets by giving 25 runs and All out Royal Challengers Bengaluru in 153 runs.

[Sithara007]

Lucknow Super Giants won the match today mainly thanks to Mayank Yadav. If you remove his figures from the Royal Challengers Bengaluru scorecard, then you will get a total of 139 runs after 16 overs. They could have chased down the target from that total (182). Naveen-ul-Haq also bowled quite well, after failing to impress during last season. And as usual, RCB starts well in any IPL season, and then they falter. The same is happening now. Now they have just 1 win from a total of 4 matches.

I have a doubt regarding Australian player why they shown thier self like a worst and failed player when it come to play IPL but perform like a champion when it come to play his won league or especially international duty because I have seen player like green, Maxwell who can single handedly even chased a 200+ against one of top spin line-up but here they consecutively failed for a fourth time and not even score any significant innings or any half century which is quite disappointed because their franchise pay huge salaries but in return they get nothing. Anyway Lucknow bat first and through firey innings of de-kock they scored 180 while during chase the loyal Kohli and Thier captain try hard but unfortunately unable to stay long and thus like previous matches green and Maxwell giveaway thier wickets before adding any significant contribution in such crutical situation and then later rest of the player done a bit contribution but unable to hold long against strong bowling lineup and we have third defeat for RCB in this season

So far, another good outing for Mayank Yadav. In very short time he's wining everyone and making a good case for early India's call up. Might give lot of hard time to Siraj, there might be a chance of Mayank securing 2nd seamer option in the playing XI.

Still, i'd very much prefer seeing him in BGT later this year.

Lucknow Super Giants team performed well from the start which is why they were able to score 181 runs in this match. This team is also ready to win because of the good batting and bowling performance, but I think the best performance came from the bowling side. Virat Kohli got out with few runs, especially Lucknow Super Giants team player Mayank Yadav who picked up three wickets, Green and Maxwell and Rajat Patidar were the best batsmen. Lucknow Super Giants got the win due to these three batsmen getting out.

Rajasthan Royal are in splendid form as they are still undefeated. Against Mumbai Indians they bowled well and did not drop any catches. A small target of 126 runs was always get able for them. But, Mumbai Indians did gave them a good fight and at one stage of the game it looked as if the host team was going to win then the inform batter of Rajasthan Royals (R. Parag) destroyed all the hopes of the Mumbai Indian team. Poaching Hardik Pandya is not working at all for them in this season.

In 15 th game LSK gave the target of 182 runs brilliant batting by Nicholas Pooran and Q de Kock they made 40 and 81 runs respectively with the help of 5, and 5 sixes while RCB failed to chase the target they made 153 for all out no players played responsible and sensible innings. What aggressive bowling by youngster Mayank Yadav took 3 wickets moreover he bowls the fastest ball of IPL in this season LSG won this match by 28 runs once again RCB could not start their tournament in such a good way they lost three matches out of four.

Match between Lucknow Super Giants and Royal Challengers Bengaluru was very exciting. There was an excellent batting from Nicholas Pooran and de Kock. They scored lot of runs to make it hard for Royal Challengers Bengaluru to win. RCB could not chase runs showing they are not playing well in tournament. Mayank Yadav bowled well for Lucknow Super Giants taking 3 wickets including fastest ball of season. This helped Lucknow Super Giants to win. RCB has lost 3 out of 4 matches which makes people wonder about how they are playing. Match was exciting with some players doing really well.

[FinePoine0]

Royal Challenger Bangalore team performed very well in the beginning but did not perform well in the end. Virat Kohli and Du Plessis entered the field as the opening batsmen and after the dismissal of the two players, no other batsman could perform. And aggressive batting out by Mayank yadav he dismissed Maxwell for zero runs and Green Kew got out because of these aggressive batting outs Royal Challengers Bangalore lost. Because those who were supposed to score runs could not score any runs due to which Royal Challenger Bangalore lost by 28 runs.

[Bureau]

Mayank Yadav bowling at an average speed of 155 with correct line and length was a jaw dropping experience. Again a 3 wickets haul now makes 6 wickets and gets him to the top 2 in number of wickets taken by a bowler in the IPL. Another prospect that might be part of the World Cup squad.

RCB are now at bottom 9th after they lost yesterday, better than MI on the point table. This team is showing signs that says they are dependent on Kohli. None of their batters are working even Maxwell is failing to get them runs.

[UmerIdrees]

When Mumbai Indians scored 97 runs, I said that the lowest score so far this season might be by Mumbai Indians. At the end of 20 overs of the first innings, the result was the same Mumbai Indians ended the first innings game with the lowest score so far this season. Mumbai Indians scored just 125 runs off 120 balls again in a tournament like IPL where their opponents are Rajasthan Royals. 125 runs will not be considered a minimum target against Rajasthan Royals' strong batting line-up. With a target of 126 runs, Rajasthan Royals will go into batting and may very easily chase this target and win. Advance congratulations and best wishes to Rajasthan Royals.

In the matches of Mumbai Indians, we are seeing very bad things done by Hardik Pandya. From that time, when he became captain and hosted a series as captain against New Zealand he started to treat his partners in a very bad way.

Also now in the IPL matches, he is again doing this, especially with Rohit Sharma. I am sure that he is making fun of him because of no reason, he moved to him in every part of the ground in not only 1st match but in the all matches, he did this with Rohit Sharma. First, he told him to come at Slip then the batsmen hit on the leg side then he told him to go there and the next bowler batsmen hit on off side then he said again to him go there. Such things will never help a team's cause.

Some days before there was news that Shaheen would be leading Pakistan at the 2024 World Cup while in India, Hardik Pandya would be leading India at the World Cup and both will play as captains at Pakistan vs India match on 9th June of course and if it will happen then a new era will begin but thankfully, It is not started yet.  

Once again, Babar Azam and Rohit Sharma will be playing these matches again as captains. Shaheen Shah Afridi was kicked from captaincy without any reason but HARDIK Pandya is not a good captain as he proved in IPL current matches.

Yes you are right it is sad to see Royal Challengers Bangalore start well but struggle at end of match. Opening partnership of Kohli and Du Plessis looked good but other batsmen did not help much. Mayank Yadav bowled aggressively and got Maxwell and Green Kew wickets which hurt team but it was good forLucknow Super Giants . Main players could not score when they needed to so they lost by 28 runs.  Hopefully Royal Challengers Bangalore can improve after this loss and do better in their next match (may be).

Yes, I have seen this on Live TV and he is calling him in every over, in every ball and in every second, but the good is that he is not doing captaincy at the World Cup because if he did this in IPL so what will he did in World Cup.

Also, I think he should have to play in a good mood because if he plays like this then that thing will happen which should mean later Rohit will also do captaincy and there can be an element of revenge. Also, he will play under Rohit's Captaincy so before having any fun with him should have to realize this thing.

Bengaluru spends a lot of money every season in signing players but for some reason in terms of performance they always lag far behind other teams. RCB has more world class stars including Virat Kohli but still their performance is like that of an ordinary team. Against Bengaluru, LSG won by relatively less runs, which means that RCB batsmen could not take advantage of LSG's bowling line-up at all. 

If we look at the points table we can see that RCB is in a very bad position in the points table. RCB has played a total of four matches in this tournament so far in which RCB have lost three matches and they have won only one match. While other teams have been largely pressure-free this season, Bangalore have been under a lot of pressure since the start of the season. I don't know how well they can perform under such pressure.

[libert19]

Mayank's wicket of Green was literal rocket, I know he bowls fast but this was one delivery where it felt so. Mayank's entry to the team seems to have rejuvenated the bowling department of LSG, even as a whole team they are appearing more passionate than before.

From RCB's side, Lomror played good little knock.

[Haunebu]

@JSRAW was right about Mayank Yadav. This dude is emerging as one of the best talents from this particular season though I feel it's way too early to give him a position in the international lineups.

RCB continues sinking while LSG is rising primarily thanks to De Kock, Mayank and Pooran. It's very, very tough to be a RCB fan.

[Swordsoffreedom]

I am very interested in today's Kolkata vs Delhi match. The Kolkata team is in excellent form. Kolkata have a stable squad. Batsmen and bowlers are in good form. So Kolkata is second in the points table after winning the first two matches.
On the other hand, the Delhi team lost the first two matches, but made a great comeback against Mighty Chennai in the last match. Delhi bowlers bowled very well against Chennai, as a result of which Delhi dominated and won the match.

There is no doubt that today's match will be very competitive. Delhi team players are very confident now. I wouldn't be at all surprised if Kolkata conceded their first defeat today.

Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis got off to bat against a target of 182 given by Super Giants but the two openers didn't last long unfortunately Faf du Plessis was run out Royal Challengers were under pressure again after Virat Kohli's dismissal. Super Giants bowlers bowled well and were aggressive from the start. Due to the bowling, Royal Challengers could not score too many runs and were bowled out for just 153 runs. If RCB batsmen could have batted responsibly then they would have definitely won against Super Giants. Super Giants won by 28 runs against RCB.
