The Kolkata Knight Riders team failed to make a new record in the end. In the last over, Ishant Sharma's responsible bowling stopped Kolkata's innings at 272 runs. Although Ishant Sharma gave 35 runs in the first two overs, Ishant Sharma took two wickets with only 8 runs in the last over.

Narine, Angkrish and Russel's monstrous batting put Kolkata amassing a massive 272 runs. I don't see any possibility of Kolkata defeat in this match. Kolkata batsmen played very well. Also Kolkata's bowling lineup is quite strong. My guess is Kolkata will win by 80-100 runs today.

Batting at a big target, Delhi Capitals lost the important wicket of Prithvi Shaw in the second over. If the two openers could have got off to a good start, the match would probably have turned out to be a competitive one.

David Warner and Mitchell Marsh are now batting. Both are very experienced batsmen in T20 format. At the end of 3 overs, Delhi collected 21 runs. If they don't lose quick wickets then I guess Delhi team will also collect more than 200 today. Because the Delhi squad also has several experienced batsmen. But I don't see any possibility that Delhi will win with such a big target. Delhi players should now try to reduce the margin of defeat.

We are waiting for another big score in this tournament of IPL. Kolkata Knight Riders are batting first against Delhi Capitals where Kolkata Knight Riders have managed to get 170 plus on the score board before 13 overs are over. Sunil Narine played a monstrous innings for Kolkata and Kolkata Knight Riders will be dreaming of scoring 250 plus runs based on that brilliant innings. It goes without saying that Kolkata have certainly fielded one of the best teams this season. Kolkata Knight Riders have been batting brilliantly from start to finish and their bowling line-up is quite strong.  Since Kolkata Knight Riders have managed to accumulate 170+ runs in 13 overs, the score may cross 240 plus at the end of 20 overs.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if Kolkata breaks Hyderabad's record today. Kolkata's top order batsmen have done great batting. At the end of 15 overs, Kolkata collected only 195 runs with the loss of 3 wickets. The way Kolkata's batsmen are batting, it probably won't be difficult for them to collect 70-80 runs in the last 5 overs.

Every bowler in the Delhi squad is giving plenty of runs. Ishant Sharma gave 35 runs in 2 overs. Axar Patel gave 18 in 1 over. Besides, Rashik Salam gave 47 runs in 3 overs.

SUnil Narine and Angkrish batted very aggressively. Narine scored 85 runs off just 39 balls and Angkrish scored 54 runs off 27 balls. And now Russell is unbeaten with 26 off just 10 balls. Kolkata will collect 280+ today if Russel stays at the crease.

272 runs in the allotted 20 overs is probably the second highest run in IPL history. Earlier Sunrisers Hyderabad scored 278 against Mumbai Indians which was the highest total in IPL history. Had KKR not lost wickets towards the end, KKR would have scored the highest run in IPL history for sure.

While KKR scored 272 runs in the first innings, Delhi Capitals need to score 273 runs in just 120 balls to win in the second innings, which is definitely a much tougher equation. About 16 runs should be made per over. If the batsmen score ten runs in an over, then their pressure will increase in the next over, there is no opportunity to play dot ball in such matches. With the huge collection that KKR has made, we can assume that the result will go in KKR's favor in this match.

Delhi Capitals are going to accept a humiliating defeat today. Along with the batsmen, Kolkata bowlers are also bowling brilliantly. And the Delhi team lost four crucial batsmen in their top order before the powerplay was over.

At the end of 5 overs Delhi team managed to collect only 40 runs. The team needs 233 runs off 90 balls to win. Abhisek Porel and Mitchell Marsh failed to add any runs to the scoreboard today. Warner returned to the dressing room with 18 runs off 13 balls and Prithvi Shaw collecting 10 runs off 7 balls.

Delhi Capitals are not accepting this because Kolkata team done impressive job first in batting and now in bowling their opening pair done amazing stuff with in first five overs we have 40 runs and 4 wickets down man all is end for them in this game and KKR surely going to be one of the best team in this season with their best bowling and batting depth.

Required rate is almost above 16 which is surely going to be increase in coming overs as things are going to tough for them even they still have Pant and Tristan Stubbs both are doing good job, but this is not enough for having win in this game and bring back their confidence level as well which is down after having humiliating defeat in this game Mitchel Starc is also done good job after having few setbacks and hopefully now all criticism is going to be ended after record signing by KKR.

KKR batsmen set a huge target of 272 in 20 overs with great effort and struggle. Their batsmen played the match with interest. Their batsmen kept their pace high from the start.  Their batsmen perform well in the match. DC bowler did not bowl well in the match.  Right now the DC batsmen are play. Their batsmen need 147 runs off 45 balls to win the match. It is impossible for them to win. KKR is ready to win the match. Finally see the result.My best wishes to the KKR team for the win now. And keep playing like this and keep winning matches.  He had a good performance today. Their bowlers are also performing well and so are the batsmen.

If Delhi Capitals had a good start, then I don’t think so they have to face these difficulties because if from the start at this stage, their run rate is manageable but till now it’s not possible to hit 3 sixes in per over and another reason for sure shot loss is that they lost their wonderful players like David Warner and Mitchell Marsh.

The Delhi Capitals team was under pressure and now I don’t think so they can make huge runs or chase the target. The game was all for the start but in the time, when they had to perform, they didn’t and now it’s time to wait to see the Kolkata Knight Riders as the winner and nothing else. They may end up losing on run rate too if the Kolkata Knight Riders win on the big runs margin too.

Narine, Raghuvanshi, Russell take KKR to 272

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.

You were absolutely right bro, Kolkata were looking really in good form if we have a look at thier previous matches results they have some extra confidence due to having such big names but tonight they were on big fire especially when they  bat first because thier experiment of sending Narain as a opening pair with salt really make things in thier favour as he scored 85 with a strike rate of 200+ which set stage and rest of thier player continue that momentum which benifits them to scored such high total of 270+, after that it was almost clear that it will be an easy victory for Kolkata unless any mericle happened and Thier main key player scored phenomenal which wasn't done due to sunsational bowling of starc and some other name and thus KkR continue his winning run and hold first place in point table.

Delhi Capitals are having another horrible season in this IPL. But today was far worse than they could have ever imagined. In a T20 match, they lost by 106 runs. This is equivalent to a loss by 250 runs in an ODI match. Sunil Narine was exceptional for the Kolkata Knight Riders. I liked the way Angkrish Raghuvanshi batted, but for me it was Narine who setup this massive total. And while bowling, the combination of Mitchell Starc/Vaibhav Arora clicked for KKR. And then their spinner Varun Chakravarthy picked up 3 wickets as well (it was this guy who broke the protocol during the COVID pandemic and caused suspension of the tournament back in 2021).

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

Oman won that match by 6 runs which was another great archivement for the Oman team against Namibia Cause Namibia team can consider strong by their performance in recent matches. Oman bat first and most of runs came from their top batsman, Pratik Athavale (38), Aqib Ilyas(23) as well as  Kashyap Prajapati (22) runs. And Namibia was close enough to win but their openers out with lower runs.  Although Gerhard Erasmus(58) alone did half century but at the end, he couldn't save his team and oman won the match for 1st time. And both have (1-1) now out of 5 matches. Tomorrow there will be 3rd T20I match between them. But hope Namibia would have seen more serious and developed in their upcoming play

Delhi Capitals vs Kolkata Knight Riders today match is going to be a very interesting game. The way Kolkata are batting in the first innings and collecting runs, it can be said that today's match is in their possession. Batting early, the Kolkata team scored a lot of runs, especially Sunil Narine and Angkrish Raghuvanshi both batting brilliantly, which led to a huge score. Sunil Narine was in great batting form he scored 85 runs, unfortunately failed to score a century due to dismissal, but his batting performance was very good. Although at the moment the Kolkata team has two great batsmen at the crease, Shreyas Iyer and Andre Russell, both of them are brilliant batsmen, if these two can survive, Kolkata's run will definitely be 260 plus. And in today's match, the runs that the Kolkata team is collecting will ensure that Delhi Capitals will lose. At the moment, the Kolkata team has lost three wickets, but they have scored 205 runs in 16 overs in comparison and will definitely bat better in the later overs.

In today IPL series, KKR team Vs DC team game was ended on Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium and this was the 16 tha game. KKR team won toss and they got a opportunity to choose first bat or bowl and KKR team selected bat lineup first. KKR team effort in this game was brilliant in batting and KKR team set 272 runs target and this was second most high runs target in this season and first SRH team made 277 runs target in their game. S.Narine made 86 runs in 37 low balls with seven 4s and seven 6s and them dismissed by M.Starc bowler. Expect R.Singh batwman of KKR team did not perform good and made only 2 runs. A.Nortje bowled out 3 wickets from DC team side but his effort was not too much benefit for DC team. Congratulations KKR team for adding one more win in their winning list and their rank also promote into 1 st one.

South Africa Women vs Sirilanka Women
Well today we have the third and last match of thier bilertral t20 series where south Africa team scored a 150 target after a huge disaster and collapse in middle morder but some how they manage things and put such number on board which was looking tough to chased as we have seen already decent performance from South African team compared to sirilanka team which was quite weak but they really shocked everyone by not only defeating them in last match but took dominance over them by 2-1 in entire series which is quite surprising moments but I think for that victory credit goes to thier captain who took charge played in front brilliantly along side with his partner and due to their dedication and hardwork finally they got a handsome results.

[Mahdirakib]

In the past, 150 to 160 runs target was enough to stop the opponents. Nowadays, a target above 200 runs can easily be beaten. Day by day IPL matches have become a run making machine like the T10 matches. We have witnessed two matches with 270+ runs within the first 16 matches of the IPL. Who should we blame for such huge scoring matches? Is it the bad bowling or completely batting friendly pitch?

Congratulations KKR team for adding one more win in their winning list and their rank also promote into 1 st one.

After the batting of the first innings it was almost possible to predict who would win the match. This season I think KKR will try to win every match. Few matches this season suggest anything of the sort. Their batsmen have become so aggressive that they are determined to give big targets. The way Sunil Narine is batting in the last two matches, it seems that he is not a bowler but his batting career is important. His big scores in two consecutive matches gave them a boost to ensure victory. A massive score of 85 off 39 balls from his bat helped the team score 272 runs. Against such a big score, there must be a lot of thought in the opposing team about how to play and how aggressively they need to play. Delhi Capitals lost all their wickets for just 166 runs which was so far from match competition.

Kolkata Knight Riders has been playing really well in their recent matches. They are batting aggressively which is working out for them. Sunil Narine who used to be a bowler is now a strong batsman for team. His high scores have boosted team confidence and made it tough for other teams. Kolkata Knight Riders is setting big targets and controlling matches. This shows they are determined to win every match this season. It will be interesting to see if they can keep up this good performance. Delhi Capitals need to change their strategy to compete better against strong teams like Kolkata Knight Riders.

After DC's previous match where they defeated CSK, I had high hopes from them in this game, but this match turned out sheer disappointment for DC fans. DC is poorly performing franchises since long and I feel sad for quality players and coaches therein.

This IPL everything is unpredictable. The KKR batters really batted great today. At a moment when both Rinku and Russel were batting, I thought all time high runs will be crosses, but the brilliant last over by Ishant Sharma, put this into a stop. This season all the favourite teams are performing below average. There is high probability that we might see a new winner this time. I am expecting Rajasthan to lift the trophy this year.

Kolkata Knight Riders outstanding performance in this match and won by a huge margin of 106 runs against Delhi Capitals. Kolkata Knight Riders set a high total of 272 runs in just a loss of 7 wickets in the first inning of the match. From Kolkata Knight Riders Sunil Narine played an amazing inning of 85 runs from just 39 balls, unfortunately just missed the well-deserved century by 15 runs short but he reached the team total of 270 plus runs. Anrich Nortje is bowling well and picked up 3 important wickets by giving 59 runs his economy rate is very high.

I was also hoping for SRH's record to be broken, unfortunately it didn't happen, that yorker to get out Russel was pure marvel though. I'm not sure which teams exacly you mean that are underperforming, if it's MI/RCB, RCB is as usual hopeless, regarding MI, I'm sure they will make a comeback.

The way KKR js performing, they definitely feel like a top contender for cup this year.

Agreed. I remember something close to 300 being a competitive score in ODIs in the past, but that's a competitive score in T20 matches these days which is insane if you think about it.

Batting friendly pitches + Bad bowling + Small grounds + Excellent batting combo is the reason why teams are scoring such high scores in T20s these days.

Close to 300 scores are not competitive rather a sure-fire win for the defending team, such scores leave no room for second inning whereas I think 170- 200 runs are competitive totals.

SRH vs MI was not as one sided despite being a high scoring match, but I think it's rare feat.
