T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Fuso.hp]

Without Matheesha Pathirana and Mostafizur Rahman, CSK looked very weak in this team especially in the last match where they took the field against SRH. No bowler could bowl well in that match as well as no batsman could bat responsibly due to which CSK collected less and SRH was able to collect that less easily. While CSK started the season very well, they lost the match against SRH due to some wrong decisions early on. If these two fast bowlers are not in the XI in the next match, we may see such deterioration in CSK's performance in the next match as well. Matheesha Pathirana is good at yorkers whereas Mustafiz is a very effective bowler towards the end so these two bowlers should definitely be included in the playing XI.

Chennai Super Kings bowling looked toothless without these two. Matheesha Pathirana and Mostafizur Rahman are their best bowlers at the moment. The former missed the match due to an illness, while Mustafizur had to travel to Bangladesh to get his United States visa (for the upcoming T20I world cup). In their absence, the responsibilities were taken over by Deepak Chahar, Mukesh Choudhary and Maheesh Theekshana. Choudhary went for 27 runs from his sole over, while Deshpande and Chahar went for 10 runs per over.

Chennai Super Kings team could not keep Sunrise Hyderabad team in any way. The main sign of losing is due to the weakness of their bowling performance. And many of the players did not perform well in batting, Chennai Super Kings performed well in the beginning but came to the end of the match they were writing with a very poor performance. Mustafizur Rahman, a powerful bowler in the Chennai Super Kings team, was not given a chance to play. If Mustafizur Rahman was given a chance in this game tomorrow, Sunrise Hyderabad team would have been under a lot of pressure in terms of bowling.

[libert19]

If CSK's 165 score wasn't enough, Abhishek's early fireworks pretty much done the job for the SRH, had Moeen caught Head's catch in the very first over, SRH would have come under pressure and CSK might have had some chance but unfortunately he dropped an easy one, Mitchel Santner could be a better replacement to Ali.

Without Pathirana, Mustafizur — CSK's bowling dept looked weak, there was no intent or timing from their batters either. It felt like they came to lose from the very start.

Rajasthan Royals (RR) vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB)

Today April-6, 19 match of Indian Primer league IPL2024. Today’s match will happen at Jaipur, 7.30pm IST (2pm GMT). I think Rajasthan Royals is top favorite for today's match. Rajasthan Royals Point 6 and they played 3 match and win all three matches.

On the otherhand Royal Challengers Bengaluru position 8th. They played 4 match and win only 1 match, and point earned only 2. The top quarter of their line-up is full of superstars but they are not performed well in this season. I believe they will play well in future match. I think Rajasthan Royals is most favourite for today's match. And Rajasthan Royal will win today.

Rajasthan Royals have already played three matches and won all the three matches. Rajasthan Royals players will be very confident after winning three matches. But I think RCB can perform very well in today's match because till now RCB has lost three matches so today's match must be RCB skipper Virat Kohli will try his best to win against Rajasthan Royals with very good performance. But I think RCB's victory against Rajasthan Royals will be a bit difficult but nothing impossible. Of course if RCB batsmen can perform well then they can win today's match against Rajasthan Royals. But I personally support RCB from Rajasthan and I want RCB to win today's match.

Yeah Chennai Super Kings could not score big runs. Ruturaj Gaikwad's team's innings stopped at 166 runs against Hyderabad. Shivam Dubey played an innings of 45 runs. But the rest could not open their hands like that. Chennai Super Kings have been struggling so far. And it might not be easy for them to make the playoffs either. The main reason for this is the injury to the team's pacers.

Sunrise hyderabad's batting line is very strong. The way sunrise hyderabad bats against them any team must target above 200 runs to win against them. It will be difficult for any team to win the match against sunrise hyderabad. Same thing happened with Chennai Super Kings against Chennai Super Kings if Sunrise. Could have given a target of 200 plus runs against Hyderabad and bowled under control would surely have won Chennai Super against Sunrise Hyderabad. However, Chennai Super Kings should let Dhani bat earlier. We can't enjoy his batting very well with Dhanni batting towards the end.  So the management of Chennai Super Kings should allow Dhani to bat earlier.

I totally agree with you. Chennai's bowling order is very weak right now. However, the main reason for Chennai's defeat against Hyderabad was their poor batting.

I don't know how Chennai management has constructed their squad. Matheesha Pathirana and Mostafizur Rahman are quite talented bowlers. And these two bowlers have performed well in the first two matches. And two foreign bowlers are also out of the squad for the match against Hyderabad.



Without these two bowlers, Matheesha Pathirana and Mostafizur Rahman, it will be very difficult for Chennai to perform consistently well. Moeen Ali, Jadeja and Rachin Ravindra bowled the best of Chennai's bowlers against Hyderabad. All these three are not full time bowlers. All three are all-rounders.

[DanWalker]

In today's match, none of Chennai's batsmen can bat at 200+ strike rate. Shivam Dube batted at the highest strike rate of 187. On the other hand, all three batsmen of Sunrisers Hyderabad's top order played well. Abhishek Sharma's innings of 37 off 12 balls was impressive.

Abhishek Sharma had completely changed the momentum of the game in favour of SRH with his powerful batting. Otherwise the match could be a bit competitive today. CSK was playing without their two best bowlers Mustafizur and Pathirana. So, the target of 166 runs wasn't difficult to chase. Anyway, I think Mukesh Choudhary won't get the opportunity to play any matches in this IPL season.

You are right. The Chennai team provided a small target. And because of Abhishek Sharma's aggressive batting at the beginning of the innings, the match went completely under Hyderabad's control. At the end of 6 overs of power play, Hyderabad's collection was 78 runs. The team collected an average of 13 runs per over. And I would say that after these 6 overs, Chennai's defeat is assured.

Chennai's bowling attack was weak in this match. Two experienced bowlers like Pathirana and Mustafiz were not in Chennai's squad. If these two bowlers were with the squad, the match could have been competitive. But none of the pace bowlers in the Mumbai squad could do well in this match. Mukesh Howdhury gave away 27 runs in 1 over.

Without Pathirana, Mustafizur — CSK's bowling dept looked weak, there was no intent or timing from their batters either. It felt like they came to lose from the very start.

CSK is going with wrong batting order in my opinion, Mitchel should play up the order not at no 6 and someone like Rizvi should be playing at 5 or 6 to give the push that needed in the death overs. And about the bowling I agree completely, Choudry poor fellow bowled only 1 over and got hit all around the park, that's where the captaincy comes into the question. Whether they should be started with Spinners?

Think that if Chennai Super Kings Matheesha Pathirana and Mostafizur Rahman could have participated in yesterday's match, Sunrise could have put some pressure on Hyderabad's batting line. However, the bowling line of Sunrise Hyderabad is not that good but against Chennai Super Kings they did very well by attacking Chennai Super Kings from the beginning due to which Chennai Super Kings can score very much runs only 165 runs. Chennai Super Kings batsmen should have batted more responsibly Hyderabad's batting line is very strong so they had to give big targets to win against them otherwise they can never win against them.

Agree with you. The batting lineup of Sunrise Hyderabad is well established. 165 was a easy score for Sunrise Hyderabad. Hyderabad isn't a normal team for beat under 180 runs. It's batting lineup and bowling lineup was so strong from any other single team.

[Nalain420]

It was sad to see Chennai Super Kings struggle in yesterday match against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Team didn't bat well and players could not stay at crease or work together. Mukesh Chowdhury had bad over where he gave away 27 runs showing team's weaknesses. They could not put pressure on other team. Chennai Super Kings need to fix their problems in batting and bowling to do better in tournament. This loss should make them think about what went wrong and get ready for next mathes. I hope they will play better in future.
By the way at this time Mumbai Indians performance is really bad because they didn't win a single match from start.

CSK batsmen had performed well in this match.  But their bowler did not perform well.  The runs were not stop by their bowlers and they also failed to get wickets. If they put in a little effort and struggle the match would have been under their control. But their bowler did not show much interest in the match and will lose the match.  SRH batsmen kept their pace very well.  Their batsmen scored 166 in 18 overs to win the match.  Even if the target was 190 their batsmen would have done it.SRH bowler should improve his performance. If they don't do that they won't bowl well in the match.

[libert19]

The batting lineup of Sunrise Hyderabad is well established. 165 was a easy score for Sunrise Hyderabad. Hyderabad isn't a normal team for beat under 180 runs. It's batting lineup and bowling lineup was so strong from any other single team.

CSK batting line-up runs deep as well, but they somehow went into their shell (did they lose their confidence with their defeat in last game? I wouldn't be surprised, mighty team getting defeated by DC can definitely be demotivating).

IIRC, CSK gathered 36 runs in last 5 overs, which was not enough, apparently or otherwise, they could have accumulated much more than that, MSD could come up in order as well to bat if other batters had off day.

Rajasthan Royals won the toss and elected to bowl first. RCB batting first, opener Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis got off to a great start. Virat Kohli is unbeaten on 32 off 25 balls and Faf du Plessis scored 14 runs off 11 balls. RCB's current score is 53 runs for 0 wickets in seven overs. The way RCB's opening pair is batting, it seems that RCB is going to give a big target to Rajasthan Royals. If RCB can give Rajasthan Royals a target of 190 runs then they can win the match if they can bowl controlled. Now let's see how many runs RCB batsmen can target Rajasthan Royals?

[Sithara007]

Once again, Kohli is doing the heavy lifting, with Faf mostly silent at the other end. The good thing for Royal Challengers Bengaluru is that they didn't lost wickets in the initial powerplay, which is extremely hard when facing Trent Boult. I think this is the only match so far in this season where Boult didn't picked a wicket in his first over. Nandre Burger went for plenty as well. Samson has now turned to spin of Ravichandran Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal, and so far this duo has kept things decent enough (14 runs from 3 overs).

With a strike rate of below 120, i won't call it heavy lifting but a dead weight.

This kind of anchoring is not required in t-20, one can understand such an approach when a collapse is happening from the other end but with the opening slot it's criminal. You've 10 wickets in hand so FFS play all your shots and go hard.

[Haunebu]

RCB is turning on the heat against RR in their own backyard, but their strike-rate is pretty low currently due to which they might end up scoring something close to 180 despite having 10 wickets in hand.

They need to score 200 at the very least against RR who are in great form these days. Am expecting RR to win this one though.

[synchronym]

RCB captain Virat Kohli is batting brilliantly and thousands of Virat fans are cheering in the stadium after seeing his batting. If Virat Kohli can play today's match in the end, surely we will see a century from his bat, Virat Kohli is batting brilliantly. This player is unbeaten with 75 runs off 53 balls. Maxwell is batting with King Kohli but we have not seen Maxwell's batting so well in IPL but if Maxwell can bat well in partnership with Virat Kohli in today's match then surely we can enjoy some great batting from Maxwell.
