T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Haunebu]

Another 250+ score. Poor bowlers! Even bowlers are able to screw them thanks to batting friendly pitches. Jake was epic as usual while Hope, Pant and Stubbs were great too. Hardik keeps underperforming in literally every department.

MI might chase this down though I am expecting DC to win thanks to great bowlers like Kuldeep and Mukesh Kumar. Let's see what happens.

Pakistan vs New Zealand fifth T20 match

Today, the fifth T20 match i.e. the last T20 match of the T20 series between the host Pakistan and the visiting New Zealand team is going to be played at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. In this five-match T20I series between Pakistan and New Zealand, after the hosts Pakistan won the second T20I, they were miserably defeated by the New Zealand team in the third and fourth in the next two matches. In the two matches that the Pakistan team lost, their batting, bowling and fielding performances were not good, which saw them losing the match to a young and inexperienced New Zealand team. Today's match is very important for Pakistan team because if New Zealand team wins then they will easily win this T20 series against Pakistan.

Pakistan's team has too much busy schedule until the World Cup finish because they have back to back series and back-to-back tours to other countries.
Today New Zealand series will be finished and then Pakistan will go to the Ireland tour to play three T20Is matches. This series will be start from 10 May then they are going to be play in England against them for four T20Is matches. That would be starting from 22nd May while Ireland series will finish on 14 May.
After this, they had to go to America and the West Indies to play World Cup T20. There are back to back T20Is matches for Pakistan.

Delhi Capitals batsmen batted brilliantly against Mumbai Indians as Delhi Capitals scored 257 runs in their allotted 20 overs of responsible batting. Delhi Capitals have set a target of 258 runs to Mumbai Indians if Delhi Capitals bowlers can bowl brilliantly well and keep Mumbai Indians under pressure from the start then they can win against Mumbai Indians. We saw a high voltage match yesterday which was Punjab Kings vs Kolkata Knight Riders Kolkata Knight Riders batted brilliantly in the target of 261 runs Punjab Kings won by eight wickets. If Mumbai Indians want to win today's match against Delhi Capitals, they must bat responsibly. If the opening pair of Mumbai Indians bats very well, surely they can win against Delhi Capitals.

DC batsmen have scored 257 runs in 20 overs.  And gave such a difficult and big target to MI batsmen.  Which is not going to happen with their batsmen.  Their batsmen need 137 runs off 53 balls.  And that it has become impossible for them to win now.Their batsmen are not working hard and struggling in today's match.Hardik Pandya has scored 33 runs off 18 balls and is not going with enough effort and struggle to achieve the target and win the match.Tilak Verma has scored 22 runs off 15 balls.  And he too has not performed well and is not scoring runs.MI batsmen need 118 runs from 43 balls and I think MI team cannot win today's match.

[JSRAW]

This season you have to feel for MI's fans, nothing is going in their favor and even Delhi is trolling and dominating them.

The equation is now 78 runs in 28 balls, which seems unlikely unless they get 2 big overs of 20 runs each. At least they are above RCB and will remain there despite losing this match .

There are many reasons why the Mumbai Indians team lost, although firstly they did not perform well from the start, secondly they did not perform well in bowling. And the batsmen in the main phase have been out in the power play, if they had patiently performed well in the power play then there was definitely a chance to win. Ishan Kishan and Rohit Sharma are two reliable and patient batsmen but they did not perform well. So if the batsmen performed well from the start, the subsequent batsmen could perform well and victory would have been assured.  Meanwhile, Delhi Capitals team bowlers performed very well and created a lot of pressure in the last over from the bowling side, that's why Delhi Capitals team managed to win.

Delhi Capitals team has performed well enough and they have performed for a long time by protecting the wicket. But comparatively Mumbai Indians team is at 9th position in the points table, if they win all the few matches they have now there is no chance of the Mumbai Indians team going to the finals. Because only Mumbai Indians team won 3 out of 9 matches.

Pakistan vs New Zealand fifth T20 match

Today, the fifth T20 match i.e. the last T20 match of the T20 series between the host Pakistan and the visiting New Zealand team is going to be played at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. In this five-match T20I series between Pakistan and New Zealand, after the hosts Pakistan won the second T20I, they were miserably defeated by the New Zealand team in the third and fourth in the next two matches.

Today's match is very important for Pakistan team because if New Zealand team wins then they will easily win this T20 series against Pakistan.

Pakistan team has been performing for a long time by protecting the wicket, but they are not able to advance in terms of runs, because in this match they have to have an aggressive batting performance. Although one wicket fell but the runs were just 51 runs in 16 overs for 1 wicket. If the Pakistan team performs like this, then nothing will be possible in this match with the New Zealand team. As today is the last T20 match, Pakistan team needed to win this match, then the game would have been tied.  But with this performance I think it will be very difficult for Pakistan team to win against New Zealand team.

DC doing a fantastic job in batting at the moment. After 18 overs they have a score of 234 runs and it seems like they will end up scoring 240 runs today. Jake Fraser-McGurk set the foundation of aggressive batting and that approach is adopted by rest of the batting that followed. IPL will be very much open for DC if they win today's game which is very much likely to happen. 

Delhi Capitals batting in today's match was really interesting and they collected 257 runs against the target. Moreover, Delhi Capitals batsman Jake Fraser-McGurk was able to win the player of the match in today's match, his batting performance was excellent but unfortunately he could not reach the century. However, in today's match, Mumbai Indians tried hard enough but did not win against Delhi Capitals. Mumbai Indians tried hard enough in the match but their attack was not successful. But it is fortunate for Delhi Capitals that they managed to put up a great score today, and it is really a pleasure for Delhi Capitals to win this match and move to the fifth position in the points table.

Pakistan vs New Zealand fifth T20 match

After this, they had to go to America and the West Indies to play World Cup T20. There are back to back T20Is matches for Pakistan.

In the fifth T20 match, the New Zealand captain chose to bowl first after winning the toss. Pakistan's opener duo came down to bat and lost one wicket in the beginning and were under a lot of pressure from there, opener Babar Azam and Usman Khan batted brilliantly. But Usman Khan did not score much runs and got out for 31 runs off just 24 balls. But responsible batting for pakistan babar azam is batting brilliantly if babar azam can bat well then definitely babar azam can be dangerous for new zealand because we all know  Babar Azam is great good batsman from his batting surely we can enjoy some good conditions. The current score of the Pakistan team is 84 runs for 2 wickets in 10 overs. The current condition of the Pakistan team looks like if the batsmen of the Pakistan team can bat responsibly, they can give New Zealand a target of 170 runs.

[JSRAW]

There was a time when a 190+ score used to look daunting and in the worst case defendable target but the kind of batting and pitches we are witnessing this season, 196 runs on the board feels like a below-par score.

The pitch did look slow at times, the ground is also big and I don't think Dew will play any big role tonight but still, RR should fancy their chances because Jaiswal got some runs under his belt and other top 3 batters are also in good knick. It should be a cracking chase.

Rajasthan Royals vs LSG in the 44th match of Indian Premier League. In today's match, Rajasthan Royals won the toss and fielded at the start of the game. Rajasthan Royals team players did not do very well in fielding. LSG players managed to score a good score due to poor fielding by Rajasthan Royals team players. LSG finished the game in full twenty overs scoring 196 runs for 5 wickets. LSG batsmen have performed well in today's match.  Especially KL Rahul and Deepak Hooda batted very commendably in today's match. KL Rahul scored 76 off 48 balls and Deepak Hooda scored 50 runs off 31 balls. I think LSG team has a good chance to win this match today. Now in the second innings game if the bowlers of LSG team can be a little stronger in bowling then LSG team will definitely have a chance to win this match against Rajasthan Royals today. Now let's wait until the end of the game.

Jake Fraser-McGurk set the foundation of aggressive batting and that approach is adopted by rest of the batting that followed. IPL will be very much open for DC if they win today's game which is very much likely to happen. 

J. Fraser-McGurk a young guy from Australia scored an innings of 84 runs with a strike rate of 300+ which was really amazing because that innings build raised Thier confidence and while carrying on such momentum rest of thier batter done a decent job and scored a 250+ target which wasn't looking possible before because his previous performance wasn't indicate any positive point but they some how done it. Things to be highlight that each and every match of IPL becoming new disaster for bowler where they were brutally smashed from both sides which isn't good for them but to be honest it really makes matches more excited. Anyway Mumbai while chasing done a frequently good job but hasn't able to fill the gap and thus now looking possibly out of the tournament

[noormcs5]

Pakistan team has been performing for a long time by protecting the wicket, but they are not able to advance in terms of runs, because in this match they have to have an aggressive batting performance. Although one wicket fell but the runs were just 51 runs in 16 overs for 1 wicket. If the Pakistan team performs like this, then nothing will be possible in this match with the New Zealand team. As today is the last T20 match, Pakistan team needed to win this match, then the game would have been tied.  But with this performance I think it will be very difficult for Pakistan team to win against New Zealand team.

This time we have seen wonderful fielding by the New Zealand team in this match. I think they at least defend five or more sixes and more than 8 fours for sure, their fielding was too much strong and we have seen a lot of improvement in their team from the last match.
This fielding would be helpful to them very much in this match and later in the other matches. Now, it’s time to see that the improvement which we have seen in this innings, will it same on their batting too but I think that they are focusing on fielding not on batting.

Pakistan have managed to score 178 runs. Some may think that this is a good score but it is not like that because the New Zealand team might have the ability to chase these score. All they need is a good start and then there would be no turning back for them to win the series. We are here in for a fantastic competition.

I have kind feelings like that Lucknow super Giant have no chances for winning in this match. Because their all batters perform like the same way what they did in the previous match against Rajasthan Royals. If we look previous match that we will find Quinton De Kock take only four run and in this match it increases to 8 and on the other hand  third batmens do the duck as the previous match.
And on the other son Rajasthan Royals looks very comfortable they took 60 run in 6 overs and they lose their only one wicket there current rate is over require run rate. And as well as we know that Rajasthan Royals is the most favourite team in this Indian premier League so I putting some of my bucks on RR

[rojan]

In today's final match of the T20 series between Pakistan and New Zealand, the Pakistan team batted first and gave the New Zealand team a target of 179 runs. I think a target of 179 runs is not too difficult for the New Zealand team. Because we have seen in previous matches of this series where New Zealand team players have performed very well. However, the New Zealand team won the previous two matches of this series by a landslide. It is expected that in today's match too, the players of the New Zealand team will win the series by winning the final match through great performance. But on the other hand, if the bowlers of the opposing team Pakistan team can now make their bowling line very strong in the second innings and keep the New Zealand batsmen under pressure, the result of this match can be different. Now let's see what the result of this match will be in the end.

Pakistan vs New Zealand fifth T20 match

Today's match is very important for Pakistan team because if New Zealand team wins then they will easily win this T20 series against Pakistan.

Pakistan batting first and scored 178 runs in a loss of 5 wickets. Babar Azam batting performance is outstanding scored a half-century 69 runs from just 44 balls and helped the Pakistan team to reached the 170 plus total. New Zealand current score is 92 runs by loss of 2 wickets in overst 10 overs of the match. M. Bracewell is playing 21 runs and Chapman is playing at 9 runs, this partnership is very important for New Zealand if they win this match. New Zealand need 87 runs from just 60 balls to win this match against Pakistan and also win the series.

[WatChe]

Pakistan have managed to score 178 runs. Some may think that this is a good score but it is not like that because the New Zealand team might have the ability to chase these score. All they need is a good start and then there would be no turning back for them to win the series. We are here in for a fantastic competition.

178 is not a new target in this series. In 3rd T20I Pakistan scored 178 runs batting first while in 4th T20I New Zealand scored 178 batting first. New Zealand chased 178 quite easily in 3rd T20I and today there position is looking quite good so far. After 11.3 overs, New Zealand score is 97 and they need 82 more runs to win in 53 balls. Pakistani bowlers so far have got 4 wickets and if they can get few more in quick succession then they will be in position to stop New Zealand from chasing this target.

 

[Haunebu]

Looks like LSG are screwed in this match thanks to RR continuing to dominate this season. Expected RR to win and it looks like they will win it comfortably thanks to almost all of their batsmen firing properly.

Lucknow is sorely missing Mayank while Krunal seems to be their only consistently good bowler. Wonder when RR's win streak will get broken in this season.

Pakistan have managed to score 178 runs. Some may think that this is a good score but it is not like that because the New Zealand team might have the ability to chase these score. All they need is a good start and then there would be no turning back for them to win the series. We are here in for a fantastic competition.

178 is not a new target in this series. In 3rd T20I Pakistan scored 178 runs batting first while in 4th T20I New Zealand scored 178 batting first. New Zealand chased 178 quite easily in 3rd T20I and today there position is looking quite good so far. After 11.3 overs, New Zealand score is 97 and they need 82 more runs to win in 53 balls. Pakistani bowlers so far have got 4 wickets and if they can get few more in quick succession then they will be in position to stop New Zealand from chasing this target.

But the Pakistan team also had idea that if they were just dependent on boundaries then they could not be make good runs because they had the idea after seeing the shot that it would go for the boundary but New Zealand team didn’t want that which cause that in every single ball, Pakistan was started to be take runs in every ball and what a hard running they did.

I think nobody can be do this type of running because they were making single into double and in that ball where they can take no run, on that they were taking doubles, and they avoid single. Due to their hard running between the wickets, they were able to make a decent score and now in a position to win this match.

New Zealand needs now 38 runs in 20 balls but the biggest probelm is not only that the run rate required in out of control but also they have lost 8 wickets. I think with just two wickets in hand, this target would be impossible to chase and then Pakistan will be able to win this match finally.

[tsaroz]

Another win for RR in IPL. Rajasthan Royals, winning the toss, elected to field first. Lucknow Super Giants batting first created a decent score of 196. Another Impressive inning from KL Rahul for LSG and Deepak Hooda scoring a half century, still a score below 200 is hardly a large one in IPL.
RR chased it comfortably with Sanju samson's explosive 71. With this win, RR has solidified it's top position on the table and are favorite to directly qualify for the finals.
Sanju Samson and KL Rahul after this match has rose to 2nd and 3rd highest run scorer this season.

[Farhan99]

In today's final match of the T20 series between Pakistan and New Zealand, the Pakistan team batted first and gave the New Zealand team a target of 179 runs. I think a target of 179 runs is not too difficult for the New Zealand team. Because we have seen in previous matches of this series where New Zealand team players have performed very well. However, the New Zealand team won the previous two matches of this series by a landslide. It is expected that in today's match too, the players of the New Zealand team will win the series by winning the final match through great performance.

Yeah, Pakistan gave the big target of 179 to new Zealand. babar azam played brilliant innings of 69 runs. New Zealand failed to chased this total they made 169 runs, tim seifert make fifty while Clarkson played excellent not out inning of 38 runs but unlucky to finish match for his team. brilliant spell by shaheen afridi takes 4 wickets in last over. NZ need 12 runs but remaining two batsmen got Run out and pakistan won this match by 9 runs. excellent performance by team new Zealand in this series and their new younger players gave tough time to Pakistan and they level the series by 2-2.
