T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Cheema02]

rcb won the toss and decided to bowl. RCB is bowling very well. One wicket at the start. Gujarat Titans batsmen are under a lot of pressure. If Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan Gujarat Titans batsmen can bat responsibly and give RCB a big target, maybe the game will be competitive. I think if RCB bowlers bowl very well and fielders field well against Gujarat Titans then RCB can win today's match. I will go for RCB over Gujarat Titans.

I think its a good decision of Royal Challengers Bengaluru to bowl first after winning the toss. Gujarat Titans current score is 35 runs in a loss of single wickets in first 5 over of the match. Wriddhiman Saha is out after scoring 5 runs. Shubman Gill is playing slowly 13 runs from 15 balls alongside with Sudharsan who is playing at 13 runs not out. from Royal Challengers Bengaluru Swapnil Singh picked the wicket by giving 17 runs in 2 overs. If RCB restricted Gujarat Titans under 170 runs then they have good chances of winning this match.

in my opinion the series is not tied series was won by New Zealand because their B team is playing in Pakistan. New Zealand B-class team showed an outstanding performance in this series. Pakistan wins the last match due to the bowling performance of Shaheen Shah Afridi and Usama Mir. Muhammad Amir quite a costly spell in this Match gave to much runs but at the last over they successfully defended the 12 runs and Pakistan won by just a few runs. Pakistan needs to improve its batting performance if they perform well in the next T20 World Cup.

Outstanding performance by New Zealand in this series. They made Pakistan work hard to level this series which was played on there home ground. Eight bowlers were used by Babar Azam to bowl 20 overs, only Fakhar Zaman and Babar Azam didn't participated in bowling. Usama Mir finally had some impressive figures in T20I while Shaheen picked 4 wickets. Though series is levelled but Pakistan need to think why they were not able to beat New Zealand team who is without it's key players.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru bowled aggressively from the start. Due to the aggressive bowling from the start, Gujarat Titans batsmen lost 2 wickets and were under a lot of pressure from there. Shahrukh Khan and Sai Sudharsan are batting responsibly. Bengaluru bowlers need to break the tie very quickly otherwise it could be dangerous for Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Shahrukh Khan is unbeaten on 57 runs off 28 balls and Sai Sudharsan is unbeaten on 45 runs off 32 balls. Gujarat Titans current score 131 runs for 2 wickets in 15 overs. Game in progress Gujarat Titans current state of play looks like if they bat like this they can give Royal Challenger Bangalore a target of 180 runs.

Muhammad Siraj got the important wicket of M Shahrukh Khan, he scored 58 runs on 30 balls. Sai Sudharsan is still on crease and has scored 74 runs on 45 balls. 12 more delivers to be bowled and GT score right now is 176 runs. GT should work hard to take the target to 200 runs. Sudharsan is well set on the crease and if he play last 12 deliveries then there are fair chances that GT will give a target of 200 runs.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru bowled very well in the early stages and it looked like Gujarat Titans could score 170 as the maximum. But the responsible batting of Shahrukh Khan and Sai Sudharsan gave Royal Challengers Bengaluru a target of 201 runs by Gujarat Titans. Royal Challengers Bengaluru batsmen have to bat responsibly. If RCB batsmen can bat responsibly, then they can easily cross the target of 200 runs. Now let's see how responsible RCB batsmen can bat.

What a knock by Sai Sudharsan, 84 runs on just 49 balls. He was unlucky to miss century but he has done his job for Gujrat team. RCB need 201 runs to win this game. RCB bowlers were not able to pick lots of wicket, only three of Gujrat batsmen got out. Cameron Green was the most expensive RCB bowler as he gave away 42 runs in his 3 overs. 200 is a target that can be chased on flat tracks of IPL and RCB have batsmen like Virat and Faf du Plessis who have the capability to play big innings.

[Haunebu]

RCB seem to have the upper hand at the moment since I don't think 200 is a competitive score on this pitch, but I could be wrong since the commentators did mention that it is a competitive score.

Sudershan has turned out to be one of the most consistent IPL batsmen period. He deserves many opportunities in the international team if you ask me.

Sudershan has turned out to be one of the most consistent IPL batsmen period. He deserves many opportunities in the international team if you ask me.

Consistent for sure but he's slow and seems like an anchor to me. Today his first half of the inning was slow, he picked up the pace later.
-------------
A bit of normalcy is returning now, The First half is done and dusted so it's only fair if the pitch starts slowing everywhere or maybe assists bowlers more.

One to the slow powerplay for Gujart and on top of that, when the likes of David Miller start scoring run a ball, then the pitch is not a belter for sure so maybe batters might try to get set first or possibly anchor roles comebacks in the 2nd inning.

Sudershan has so far played only 3 ODIs for India and his current IPL performance will surely take him to India T20I squad. Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis have started the innings for RCB and after 3 overs they both managed to score 37 runs. To win the game, RCB need both openers to score runs so that rest of batting don't have much pressure on them. Faf du Plessis so far has smashed three sixes and one boundary in first three overs.

Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis batted brilliantly in the target of 201 runs given by Gujarat Titans, but even though Faf du Plessis started well, Faf du Plessis could not play a big innings and got out for only 24 runs. So, if Royal Challengers Bengaluru want to win the match against Gujarat Titans, they must bat responsibly, especially Will Jacks, if Virat Kohli can bat responsibly, then surely they will win the match against Gujarat Titans. Let's finally see if Royal Challengers Bengaluru batsmen can win today's match by batting responsibly.

RCB was smooth sailing with the chase throughout the inning and right now at surefire position to win the match as they now merely require 24 of 30 with 9 wickets in hand.

GT bowlers has/had no clue whatsoever how stop this partnership between Kohli-Jacks. Mohit Sharma has been bowling really mediocre, need something more than slower balls.

Edit: Rashid went for even more, now what can I say to Rashid? Lol. RCB destroyed GT today, made 200 target look like below par, which it may be anyway this season.

in my opinion the series is not tied series was won by New Zealand because their B team is playing in Pakistan. New Zealand B-class team showed an outstanding performance in this series. Pakistan wins the last match due to the bowling performance of Shaheen Shah Afridi and Usama Mir. Muhammad Amir quite a costly spell in this Match gave to much runs but at the last over they successfully defended the 12 runs and Pakistan won by just a few runs. Pakistan needs to improve its batting performance if they perform well in the next T20 World Cup.

If Pakistan played well in the overs between 7 to 13 where the situation calmed down then they could make a huge score and for the middle order, there must be a player who can maintain the innings and others starting to look for the boundaries.

This can happen if Usman Khan would not be out there because with him Babar Azam had a very good partnership but New Zealand bowlers take the wicket of him. Later Fakhar Zaman came to bat and there he was trying to play well but it seems that he was given the chance to bat Babar Azam more on the crease as he was in good touch. He scored much needed 69 runs in only 44 balls and that was the requirement by the Pakistan team at that moment.

[JSRAW]

Jeez! Will Jacks, the first 50 runs came off from 31 balls, and the next 50 runs in just 10 balls Lmao. The last couple of overs were just humiliation.

Madlad didn't even hesitate to spank Rashid and He also robbed Kohli's MOM lol but at least Kohli had the best view.

[libert19]

So far SRH have broken run records while batting first, plus they did horrendous in last game while chasing so it was kinda surprise to me that they still decided to chase or they might have just saw RCB run chase and influenced by that.

Shaheen Shah Afridi showcased an impressive bowling performance. Captaincy played a crucial role, and Afridi's bowling was leading Pakistan to victory. However, leveling the series against a New Zealand team without its key players isn't a significant achievement. Failing to secure a series win at home against a weakened opposition raises concerns for Pakistan. Throughout the series, this New Zealand's team posed challenges, exposing Pakistan's shortcomings, including a lack of batting depth, poor fielding, and a bowling unit that struggles under pressure.

Sunrise Hyderabad chose to bowl first after winning the toss. The batsmen of Chennai Super Kings are putting some pressure on Chennai Super Kings by losing one wicket in the beginning. Current score of Chennai Super Kings is 83 runs for one wicket in 10 overs The current state of play of Chennai Super Kings seems that if Chennai Super Kings can bat well then they can score maximum 190 runs. After setting a target of 190 runs, Sunrise could never win the match against Hyderabad. We all know that the batting line of Sunrise Hyderabad is very strong so to win against them Chennai Super Kings must play responsible batting otherwise it is not possible to win the match against Sunrise Hyderabad. Let's finally see how responsible the Chennai Super Kings batsmen are today. How many runs can Sunrise target Chennai Super Kings?

[Sithara007]

This is really funny. Royal Challengers Bengaluru won their second consecutive match, and still they are at the rock bottom of the points table. Gujarat Titans have lost their momentum. Their selection policies are absurd. There is a special preference being given to Afghan players, which means that talented players such as Josh Little can never find a place in the playing XI. Apart from David Miller, all the other foreign players in their XI are Afghans (Azmatullah Omarzai, Rashid Khan and Noor Ahmad). And none of them are in good form.

So far SRH have broken run records while batting first, plus they did horrendous in last game while chasing so it was kinda surprise to me that they still decided to chase or they might have just saw RCB run chase and influenced by that.

I also don't understand why Hyderabad captain Pat Cummins took such a decision in today's match. Cummins should have won the toss and decided to bat. Because Sunrisers Hyderabad managed to collect big in almost every match by batting earlier.

At the end of 18 overs, Chennai team managed to collect 192 runs after losing 2 wickets. Gaikwad remained unbeaten on 93 runs and Dube on 30 runs. Chennai team will be able to provide a target like 220-225. That's a pretty big target. However, Hyderabad's batting order is very strong. So if Chennai's bowlers fail to bowl well, there is no chance of Chennai winning.

Chennai team has given a target of 213 runs. I also thought Chennai would collect more than 220 today. Chennai collected only 8 runs in the 19th over and Chennai collected 12 runs in the last over. But it felt bad as Raturaj Gaikwad could not score a century for just 2 runs. Raturaj Gaikwad got out after collecting 98 runs from 954 balls.

Even if 213 runs is a big enough target, it is not possible to say that Chennai will win. Sunrisers Hyderabad team is still the favorite in this match. Every batsman in Hyderabad's squad is in very good form. So if Mustafizur Rahman and Mathisha Pathirana don't bowl well today, Chennai won't win this match.

Perhaps it was due to something in the pitch? Chennai Super Kings made a 200 plus total, but given the trend so far Sunrisers Hyderabad maybe able to easily chase it down. Feels bad for the CSK captain (Ruturaj Gaikwad). He missed a century by just two runs, as SRH's strike bowler nabbed him. And as usual, Mahendra Singh Dhoni has came out to bat in the 20th over. Shivam Dube from the other end is smashing balls quite well. In the end, the target for SRH is set at 213, which is doable IMO.
