T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Sithara007]

Sunrisers Hyderabad are once again on the backfoot. Travis Head is gone, and Anmolpreet Singh followed him in the next ball. Abhishek Sharma and Aiden Markram are at the crease with Heinrich Klaasen and Nitish Kumar Reddy to follow next. SRH need to be very careful here. If Abhishek  gets out, then it will get really difficult for them. Really surprised with Tushar Deshpande so far. He was extremely expensive in the previous matches. And in this match, he nabbed the most destructive batsmen of the season.

Edit: Deshpande does it again. Abhishek Sharma is gone.

Why in the world would Cummins choose to bowl first when they are doing really, really well batting first? He probably bet on dew helping out, but I still felt that it was a bad decision all things considered.

SRH are already tumbling just like in their previous match against RCB which doesn't bode well for their future in this season. Still expecting them to win this one though somehow.

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.

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.

As we saw Sunrisers Hyderabad batting in the previous matches, a target of 213 runs was not a big target for this team. However, Chennai's bowlers have changed the entire scenario of today's match. Every bowler in Chennai is bowling well today. Hyderabad lost 4 of their batsmen in 9 overs, and managed to collect 73 runs.

Aiden Marakram and Heinrich Klaasen are now at the crease. Marakram scored 28 runs off 22 balls. These two batsmen are very experienced and are in great form now. And both have the ability to play big innings to help the team win. But now Hyderabad need about 13 runs per over. They will not be able to win this match if they bat slowly.

Although Raturaj Gaijwad is Chennai's captain on paper, I would say DHoni is managing today's match. Starting from the fielding set, the bowler is also doing the selection. Dhoni is also giving direction to the bowlers. And this is why the bowlers are also able to bowl well and keep the Hyderabad batsmen under pressure.

Hyderabad collected 85 runs losing 5 wickets in 11 overs. Pathirana picked up the important wicket of Marakram in his first over. Hyderabad need 128 runs in 9 overs. Hyderabad's batsmen have to collect around 14 runs per over. And right now it is very difficult for Hyderabad to make a comeback in this match...

According to previous matches performance of Sunrisers Hyderabad squad with other squads today Sunrisers Hyderabad squad did not played good innings in today match against Chennai Super Kings squad. Ruturaj Gaikwad captain of Chennai Super Kings squad was displayed significant strength un batting inning and this batter collected 98 scores in batting and just 2 more scores need to complete century but sadly he was wiped out by T Natarajan Bowler. But against side, Sunrisers Hyderabad squad batting is not going great, Travis Head was not collected much scores just 13 and same Abhishek Sharma batter was cleared out at 15 scores. Now this match come to an end just 22 behind for bat and 92 scores remain for achieve and this is impossible task to do and surely Sunrisers Hyderabad squad today unable to secure victory.

Meh, what a disappointing match. We might have seen better competition had SRH batted first, thought SRH were competitor for trophy this year but with this performance they stand 0 chance.

They might be demotivated themselves with their performances in last two matches that we might not see 300 getting crossed this season either.

[ZAINmalik75]

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.

Royal challengers Bangalore are now looking coming to right track but it's too late to be in race with other competitors but since they have four matches left so let suppose if these guys have consistently won rest of thier matches and team at top 4 lose some of thier important matches than may be due to that miracle they can qualify for next stage of the competition, Kohli the only consistent scorer for his team if some of top name share a long time with him on pitch in shape of partnership then they will have decent results. Anyway Gujarat done really good job rather than shubman gill but some great innings of English young blood will jacks runied thier hardwork through his century and thus won the match for his team

But Chennai super kings doesn't disappoint me  .  Although before the start of the match I was confused about the result of today's match. Because so far Chennai Super Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad have had very similar performances. But even after that I put some bucks on today's match with faith in dhoni and Chennai super kings.
However today our Bengal Tiger Mustafizur Rahman also took two wickets but he had less econ than others.  My regret is where this performance of Mustafizur Rahman goes when he plays for the national team for Bangladesh.

[ZAINmalik75]

Pakistan team Babar Azam, Osman Khan, Fakhar Zaman these three batsmen have performed well in the field of batting.

Paksitani men's team done phenomenal especially in his last match but compared to them thier women teams are comparatively performing worst and worst day by day against West Indies, first they lose one sided entire ODI series against them and now in T20 series they lose thier first two game which is quite disappointed because they have several quality player and also they have advantage of thier home ground experience but still unable to divert things In Thier favour unfortunately. Anyway from Paksitani side just muneeba scored his half century while rest of thier player failed to scored decent that's why they have just scored 121 which has been scored easily by thier opponent and thus won the match.

Sunrisers Hyderabad lost to Chennai Super Kings by 78 runs. Accepting such a big loss is quite heartbreaking for many Sunrisers Hyderabad fans. Because there is no competitive environment in that match. And many consider their big defeats to be regular for them. Big losses happen regularly with this team. If we look at a history of last few years they have lost by such big score margins.



I was a bit disappointed with the performance of some players as none of them could do well on the same day. Travis Head to score well in a few matches but suddenly drop. But none of Heinrich Klaasen, Aiden Markram could perform well with their name. Captain Pat Cummins has consistently failed to perform well.

However today our Bengal Tiger Mustafizur Rahman also took two wickets but he had less econ than others.  My regret is where this performance of Mustafizur Rahman goes when he plays for the national team for Bangladesh.

The icon players of Bangladesh perform quite well in foreign premier leagues but when they return to the national team of Bangladesh, their performance becomes so bad that most of the matches see them being called golden ducks.
Just like Mustafizur Rahman has bowled a firestorm in IPL but when he returns to Bangladesh National Team, Mustafizur Rahman's performance is very bad here as Bangladeshi supporters we have no end of sorrow and regret.
However, Mustafizur Rahman probably feels more comfortable in IPL, that's why he can bowl comfortably there, but in Bangladesh, he feels a lot of pressure in the natural team, that's why he can't do much bowling performance.

[virasog]

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.

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.

I think not only Shaheen Afridi but the whole of the Pakistan team did a good show in yesterday's match. Here is how  

First of all, Babar Azam and Saim Ayub made a partnership but Saim Ayub was out early then Babar Azam started to make a partnership with Usman Khan and for sure Babar Azam said to him that stand with me we can make good runs because Usman Khan was taking singles or doubles and trying to hit balls and also giving chances to Babar Azam.

The first three balls of the over were played by Usman Khan and later Babar Azam played the last three balls of the over which helped to Pakistan very much because Babar Azam was hitting very good runs, but when Usman Khan was out then Babar Azam started to do the same with Fakhar Zaman. In short, it were small partnerships and Baber standing at one end, which help Pakistan made a good total.

When Iftikhar was out then from somewhere it was a good decision, not decision but it was good all over because after his wicket Shadab Khan came to bat and also Iftikhar couldn't make runs. When Shadab Khan came so we saw sixes and fours in a row but also when Shadab Khan came then Fakhar Zaman was out in the hunger of six. Anything happened at day before yesterday night was good for Pakistan even in that there was a loss of Pakistan but that worked in a good way. This match was such a good match and Pakistan won the match with 9 runs.

Yesterday, Babar Azam was out in Yorker and that Yorker was such a hardest yorker ever to play. Inside yorker, if Babar Azam could hit that ball with his bat then for sure it could be out because there is no chance to be save their wicket with that ball.

I have to disagree with you on this.Mustafizur Rahman's bowling performance is fine but currently Bangladesh captains cannot implement him properly. Check out the bowling performance of Mustafizur Rahman in 2017 when Mashrafe bin Mortaza was the captain of Bangladesh team. During that time he bowled well in every match he played and even cuter and swing well in every over which made it difficult for the batsmen to play those balls.You say Mustafizur is comfortable playing in IPL yes it is right but our country captain should remember Mustafizur is usually a death over bowler. Mustafizur can bowl well if he bowls on slow wickets and the Chennai captain has been able to use him properly in this year's of the Indian Premier League. Due to which he is second in the list of highest wicket takers with equal number of wickets to Jasprit Bumrah despite playing one less match.

Today we have KKR vs DC and tbh I can't believe DC is still in play-offs race. Jake Fraser coming into the team has changed fate of the team with his top of the class fielding and batting. Hopefully, they send Shaw as opener along with Fraser, instead of Porel who played stupid last time, Porel is fine as lower order batter, let him stay there.

[3kpk3]

SRH should be embarassed of their horrendous performances in recent times. They keep losing by big margins which has brought down their NRR drastically and helped provide big boosts to NRR of teams like CSK.

They still are the most entertaining side of this season for me and I loved their crazy records, but it looks like they might not even make it to the playoffs at this rate.

[MusaPk]

In short, it were small partnerships and Baber standing at one end, which help Pakistan made a good total.

Saim Ayub has been given too many chances in T20I and he is yet to score a fifty despite the fact he came as an opener. In his fifteen T20I innings, he has scored 219 runs with an average of 14.60. It's time for Pakistan team to let him play domestic cricket and try some new opener who can score runs for the team. T20 World Cup is coming up and if Pakistan can't beat New Zealand second-tier team then what they will go against full strength teams.   

[noormcs5]

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.

The captain of the Pakistan team, Baber Azam, also admitted in the post match conference that they struggled during the 7 to 10 over.




Babar Azam was playing yesterday night with aggression because, at any time, he would not hit the boundary on the shot or cannot make double to single then he was showing aggression and it seemed like Babar Azam wanted to hit the century but he wanted to make 100 just because in the last some matches of this series, he was not playing that is why he was playing fast yesterday but he played very well.

Delhi Capitals won the toss and decided to bat first but after losing wickets at the start, Delhi Capitals are under a lot of pressure. Kolkata Knight Riders bowlers bowled aggressively from the start due to which Delhi Capitals batsmen could not score good runs. Delhi Capitals current score is 71 runs for four wickets with 8 overs to play. Looking at the current state of play of Delhi Capitals, it seems that if the batsmen of Delhi Capitals can bat well, they can give a target of 170 runs to Kolkata Knight Riders. If Kolkata Knight Riders bowlers can restrict Delhi Capitals batsmen to 170 runs then Kolkata Knight Riders will win easily.

[Bitcoin_people]

Delhi Capitals are going to bat in the first innings and with their batting performance today, it might be difficult for them to score 140 runs. Although Kolkata Knight Riders are currently bowling well which has put Delhi Capitals under pressure, Kolkata are more likely to win today's match. The way Delhi Capitals are losing wickets at the moment, they might be all out very soon. Having lost 7 wickets for just 101 runs, they don't have the batsmen to hold the game in their hands, that's why I think their performance in today's match is zero. Although comparatively Delhi Capitals are still at par with Kolkata Knight Riders in terms of points, but due to today's game, Delhi are much worse. The players of Kolkata Knight Riders are bowling great in the match, their bowling line is great today. And I can confirm that Kolkata Knight Riders will be able to win today's match very easily and win by a huge margin and increase the points.
