T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[virasog]

I also think match between Gujarat and Rajasthan was very exciting. Both teams played well but Gujarat had hard time when their captain Hardik Pandya had to leave match. Rajasthan worked together as team especially their captain Samson and new player Parag. Rashid Khan was star player who made big difference with his great bowling and smart moves. He stopped runs and took important wickets to help his team win. Even though Gujarat lost Rajasthan is doing well in tournament because they have been playing consistently. Match was full of surprises and showed how unpredictable cricket can be.

There is lot of mistake/misinformation in your post. I wonder if you even watched the match  Gujarat Titans won the match and you wrote that they lose the match. Hardik Pandya is not the captain of Gujarat Titans and so on. 

Coming to the todays match. i hope that today Mumbai Indians will win because they won just a match and their team position is too bad in this IPL which is not good. In the last match of Mumbai Indians after struggling too much, they won the match. Also, it is a very important match for both teams but the Royal Challengers Bengaluru team had a habit of losing so don’t worry about them but Mumbai Indians had very good records in the previous seasons which is why to maintain that performance, they should win the matches from now onwards until they didn’t reach onto the top 4 teams because those teams will qualify for the Semi-Final.

It is the time to see Royal Challengers Bengaluru as the winner because now their performance in the last match was so poor and today they got the opportunity to defeat to Mumbai Indians because Mumbai Indians only won against Delhi Capitals and always afford the loss by other teams but now Royal Challengers Bengaluru got this chance to pick two points from them.

If Royal Challengers Bengaluru doesn’t take advantage of this then for sure they will disappoint their crowd and also move them very far from the trophy but if Royal Challengers Bengaluru takes advantage then the doors open that will keep them in the competition.

A lot is being talked about nowadays regarding Sanju Samson. Some people claim that he can be the next captain of the Indian national team. However, I am not very impressed with his captaincy tactics so far in the Indian Premier League. Yesterday's match was something that Rajasthan Royals could have won. When Vijay Shankar got out, Gujarat Titans were struggling at 111/4 after 14 overs. They needed another 86 runs to win from 6 overs, with most of the top and middle order back in pavilion. Still they won, because of Samson's stupid bowling changes.

Sanju Samson's overconfidence ended up costing them the win. It's no hard thinking his decision in a match-winning situation led to their defeat. Actually have no idea why their most economical bowler only bowled 2 overs when he should have bowled at least 1 more over. This defeat marked RR's first loss in IPL 2024 against GT. However, credit must be given to GT for their special performance. They held their nerve and won a thrilling last-ball match against RR. Rashid Khan deserves recognition for his impressive bowling figures and crucial batting performance.

I agree with you. I would say Rajasthan Royals lost this match because of bad captaincy. Sanju Samson's overconfidence was the reason why Rajasthan lost this match. Probably no one expected Rajasthan to lose in this match. This was a completely unexpected result.

Trent Boult bowled well in the first two overs. He did not get any wicket in two overs but gave only 8 runs. Boult is also a very experienced bowler. I thought Boult would probably bowl the 18th and 20th overs. But Samson used Avesh Khan and Kuldeep Sen in the last two overs. These two bowlers gave away 37 runs in the last two overs. This is why Rajasthan was defeated. I don't know why Captain Samson didn't use this bowler properly after having experienced bowlers like Boult in the squad.

I agree with you about match. Rajasthan Royals lost because their captain Sanju Samson made bad decisions. He thought too highly of his bowlers and this hurt team. Trent Boult did well at start but Samson didn't use him enough. Instead he chose less experienced bowlers for important final overs. This choice didn't work out and team lost because they gave away too many runs. It's sad to see a captain make such bad decisions especially when better choices were available. Rajasthan Royals need to fix this problem if they want to do better in their next matches.

Boult had figures of 2-0-8-0. This was one of the rare occasions where he didn't picked up a wicket within the first over. But I have no idea why his complete quota of 4 overs were utilized, because he is one of the best bowling options that Rajasthan Royals had. Same with Keshav Maharaj as well. These two bowlers went for 8 runs per over and everyone else went for more than 10 runs per over. And the decision to give the ball to Kuldeep Sen for 19th over was baffling. How can an inexperienced bowler handle this much pressure? Boult would have been a far better option.

[JSRAW]

^^ Well tbh, before his last over it looked like it was his night. Sen was the one who brought RR back in the game and considering Boult hardly bowled in death overs this season so not going back to him wasn't a controversial decision.

Maybe Samson could have used him during the 16-17-18 overs and at that time he was slightly defensive, things could have been different if he kept attacking with their strike bowlers but sometimes these sorts of mistakes happen.

GT performed very well and chased very well. I will never forget this match because that match was thrilling and I enjoyed it very well. I was Supporting titans and at the end my favorite team won the match and I am very happy. My favorite player Shubman Gill played an excellent inning of 72 runs in 44 balls and make chase easy for hard hitters . Sudharasan also played very well and made 35 runs in 29 balls. Rashid Khan played good inning at the end of match and remained not out at the end of match. He is top class all rounder of the World.

Boult can leak runs towards the end. But then, why he wasn't used during the middle overs? He is their best bowler for the last few seasons. Also, I am not happy with the fact that Maharaj wasn't allowed to complete his full quota of 4 overs. He was really good during this year's SA20. Anyway, this was a match that Rajasthan Royals could have won. Perhaps they went into celebration mode too early and the Gujarat guys made use of that opportunity. Still impressed with the batting form from Samson and Parag. These two guys are lighting up the IPL this time.

Congratulations to your team for winning. The target in this match was 197 which was tough for any team but Gujarat Titans completed that tough task. Unfortunately for me I tried to place a bet after the first innings of the match in favor of Gujarat Titans but there was more waiting for the odds and at one point when the odds dropped i wait further and at the end i didn't take the bet. A bit of greed and indecisiveness on my part here did not win the match even though I had support. Luck is definitely important in gambling because in some cases there is no chance to win. I have lost two matches in a row and Gujarat Titans had support in today's match but that too did not happen.

Chahal, Sen and Maharaj did a more than satisfactory job in the middle overs. After all, the former 2 picked the majority of wickets.

Not sure about celebration mode but to me it looked a bit of a defensive mindset as Samson opted to go with Ashwin in the 17th over, instead of wicket taking option like Boult. Yeah, Samson under bowled Maharaj as well but i don't think he was wicket taking option, similar to Ashwin.

Bumrah vs Kohli : Bumrah wins! What an entertaining matchup. Honestly, the clash between Rohit, Kohli and Bumrah is why this match was overhyped and not because of the teams themselves since they are literally at the bottom of the table currently.

Am expecting RCB to win this one in MI's own backyard. Let's see what happens.

[tsaroz]

One of the closest battle between Rajasthan Royals and Gujrat Titans.
Sanju Samson and Riyan Parag set out a defendable target of 197 for Gujrat Titans but even though Gujrat spent more wickets they achieved the target in the final ball. Even though Shuvam Gill was the highest scorer for GT, Rashid Khan was the final saviour of the team. This was the first loss for RR in this season and a close one. Now there's no undefeated team left.
Today MI and RCB are playing against each other being one of the most followed team both of them are side by side at the bottom of the table. Both needs a win to get back to the competition. RCB's first 10 over had been below average scoring 89 at the loss of 2 wickets though they still have plenty of balls and wickets to play.

Virat Kohli has scored the most runs in this season of the Indian Premier League so far for which he deserves the Orange Cap.Virat Kohli has been in peak form this season as a result of which he has scored a lot of runs in every match.Jasprit Bumrah sent a flying Virat Kohli back to the cage for just three runs in today's match.This season, Virat Kohli's team Royal Challengers Bangalore has played five previous matches except today's match where Virat Kohli has scored two half-centuries and one century.However, in today's match, Virat Kohli scored the least runs in this year's India and Premier League.

Those of us who have been watching this year's IPL regularly must know for sure that Royal Challengers Bangalore are in dire straits as they have lost four out of five matches. Virat Kohli's team's points table in the net run rate (-) column says their situation is shaky. If Royal Challengers Bangalore want to play in the knockout stage, they will have to win most of the matches from now on, there is no other option.

[Sithara007]

Royal Challengers Bengaluru may end up with a total of somewhere around 180-200, despite Virat Kohli getting out quite early. The partnership between Faf du Plessis and Rajat Patidar added 82 runs for the third wicket, but then Mumbai Indians roared back into the game with two quick wickets. BTW, I am not sure why Hardick Pandya is bowling, when he is clearly out of form. He had one solitary over so far, and that went for 13 runs. Shreyas Gopal and Akash Madhwal have bowled beautifully till now.

At the end of 17 overs, Bengaluru managed to collect 154 runs. I am not satisfied with Bengaluru's batting. Kohli did not play well in today's match. Kohli got out after collecting 3 runs off 9 balls. But Rajat Patidar batted well today. Patidar collected 50 runs from 26 balls. Also Du Plessis collected 61 runs from 40 balls.

The pitch is batting friendly. So I expected Bengaluru to deliver more than 200 targets today. Mumbai's batsmen batted brilliantly in their last match. The team collected 234 runs. So we think Mumbai will be able to continue their winning streak in today's match as well.

[JSRAW]

What are those toe crusher deliveries? This delivery shouldn't be allowed for Bumrah, better call it no ball whenever he goes for it or ban it completely, especially for him. Still 1 over left for Bumrah and it's an unethical advantage.  

The 200 mark looks tough, at best 190, given batters focus on other than Bumrah.

Edit

Madlad got the 5-fer lol

[Sithara007]

Lol.. Jasprit Bumrah is simply unplayable. He ended up with figures of 4-0-21-5. One more over remain, and Royal Challengers Bengaluru can end up with a total of around 180-190, and they still have Dinesh Karthik out there. Akash Madhwal will be bowling the last over, and he has been expensive so far. Is this going to be a winning total for RCB? I really doubt that because their strength is in batting, and not with the ball. Mohammed Siraj is currently out of form, and other bowlers doesn't have a lot of experience.

25th battle of Indian Premier League competition is ongoing at crease and this clash has begun among Royal Challengers Bengaluru squad against Mumbai Indian squad. I am very disappointed about the performance of Mumbai Indian squad in some previous matches and these squads have good manners like Pandiya, Sharma, Bumrah, David, Kishan and these members participated in international competition like World Cup and displayed very amazing strength but in this league no one from above member can contribute best performance same as today match. First batting inning of Royal Challengers Bengaluru squad was already completed and collected 198 scores as a defeating target. Glenn Maxwell was wiped out at 0 scores and all's Virat Kohli batter was cleared after collecting 6 scores. But these batters Dinesh Karthik, Rajat Patidar and Faf du Plessis achieved 50 and above scores. Now Mumbai Indian batting has started and let's watch out at last of this match what outcome will bring.

Despite 5 over spell by Bumrah, RCB were able to collect 196 runs which is quite a decent target. This 197 runs target was made possible because of half centuries from Faf du Plessis, Rajat Patidar and Dinesh Karthik. MI in reply are on fire, they have scored 72 runs after 6 overs. Ishan Kishan on fire tonight, 56 runs from just 26 balls. The equation is very much towards MI tonight, both teams are at bottom of points table and need win to move up in the table.
