T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[AirtelBuzz]

The 53rd match of the Indian Premier League will begin, and today's match will feature Chennai Super Kings vs Punjab Kings. Both teams are strong in today's game but Chennai Super Kings team is relatively stronger in both bowling line and batting line, they have formed the team with experienced players. That's why I think Chennai Super Kings team has the highest chance of winning in this match today.

If we put a team ahead on paper, that team will not win, but the team that plays well on the field will win. Earlier Chennai Super Kings and Punjab Kings met in a match held at Chennai ground then Chennai lost that match. Opponent of that Chennai team today is Punjab Kings, today perhaps Punjab Kings players will be mentally strong. In the previous match, Punjab defeated Chennai by a huge margin of 7 wickets and they will try to win the same today. There is not much difference in points between Punjab Kings and Chennai Super Kings, if Punjab wins today, Chennai will have equal points which can make them play in the playoffs.

Today's second T20I match will be played between Bangladesh vs Zimbabwe team.  Bangladesh team will definitely try to perform well in today's match, as they won the first match by a wide margin but today they have to play hard enough.  Bangladesh team is very strong due to playing in Bangladesh soil, but today Zimbabwe team is not able to perform well enough.  Because they lost the first match and I think they will try hard to win the second match.

Zimbabwe is a team that failed to qualify for the T20 World Cup. That gives a fair idea about their capabilities. They lost out to Uganda during the qualifiers and got kicked out of the tournament. Bangladesh is not the best T20 side out there, but at least when compared to Zimbabwe they are a few levels better. And this was evident during the first match. At one point, Zimbabwe were struggling at 41/7, before the 8th wicket partnership between Clive Madande and Wellington Masakadza rescued them.

2 interesting matches coming up people. Firstly, we have Punjab vs Chennai where CSK will look to take revenge after getting defeated comfortably by Punjab recently which is what I am expecting to happen.

Secondly, we have LSG vs KKR which is far more interesting because both these teams are very close to qualifying for the playoffs. Am expecting KKR to win this one.

The play-off race would become much tighter and juicer if Lucknow and Punjab managed to win their respective matches.

A fair amount of neutral fans especially Delhites and RCBions will surely cheer for Punjab, these 2 teams will benefit if Punjab comes victorious and this contest should attract some eyeballs.

Today's second T20I match will be played between Bangladesh vs Zimbabwe team.  Bangladesh team will definitely try to perform well in today's match, as they won the first match by a wide margin but today they have to play hard enough.  Bangladesh team is very strong due to playing in Bangladesh soil, but today Zimbabwe team is not able to perform well enough.  Because they lost the first match and I think they will try hard to win the second match.

Bangladesh team is looking to prepare before the World Cup by playing T20 series with Zimbabwe. However, playing a series against Zimbabwe to prepare for the World Cup will not benefit Bangladesh because Zimbabwe is a very weak team. If Bangladesh had played series against other teams, i.e. those who have qualified for the T20 World Cup, instead of hosting the series against Zimbabwe, their preparation might have been better. Playing a series against a team that lost the T20 World Cup ticket to Uganda will not improve the players of the Bangladesh team.

Bangladesh team now wants to play well against this weak side and get most of their players back to form for which this series is organized. At present Bangladesh team is suffering the most from their opening batsman Liton Kumar Das as he is getting out for zero runs in every match.

Today is also the match between Zimbabwe and Bangladesh which was also played 2 days back at the same stadium of Chattogram and today they are ready to face together on the same pitch. Whether we will see the same result or Zimbabwe will take the revenge, it is yet ot see.

Of course, in this match and that match which was played two days back Zimbabwe lost, lost, and again will lose. These lines are not just the lines, these are the universal truth because if you play so badly, you can only lose and nothing else. Bangladesh chased down that target of 122 by losing only two wickets.



It was all one match show by Tanzid Hasan who made 67 runs, remained not out and made sure Bangladesh has an easy win. I think today, West Indies opening bowlers Richard Ngarava and Blessing Muzarabani have to focus on getting Tanzid out early and then see if they can put pressure on Bangladesh's remaining batsmen.

I think today will be the biggest match of this year's IPL season. Lucknow Super Giants will battle with Kolkata Knight Riders. Regardless of the outcome of the war, today's audience will enjoy the spectacular game. The match will be played today between the two teams who are ranked number two (KKR) and number three (LSG) in the points table. It is understood that today's game will be a big fight. If Kolkata Knight Riders lose to Lucknow Super Giants today. So it appears that Lucknow Super Giants will be at the number 2 position. Kolkata Knight Riders will drop. So it is understood that today's game will be a fight for survival. All the best for Kolkata Knight Riders.

In the last T20 match, Nida Dar's performance was not good and she had to play because until now she must have understood without her the Pakistan team cannot make good runs and also cannot do anything good in bowling.

Whenever she played well, the Pakistan team charged up and whenever she was not in form or not playing well then had to understand this was a time when the Pakistan team lost the match. Now, in this series, the Pakistan result was not good so hope for the next time and for the future they have to improve their performance so that they have the team that can win the matches too. Losing too many matches in a row just creates disappointment among the team and everyone starts to speak negatively of them.

I think Rameen Shamim has to play on the upper because she is the great finisher as we have seen in today’s match. If she comes on 3 down or 4 down then she can take the game but when the target is good which means the good runs were made by the top order then she has to come late because I think she is a player that helps to the team in an emergency, when the team needed then she could be the best player on that time. I think she have to be a part of the team in the every single match.

Pakistan's next assignment is with the England women's team and the first match will be played in Birmingham on the 11th of this month. I think this will be a real test for the ladies as it is almost impossible to win from the England women's team on their home ground.

As I hope you received information that now once again Jofra Archer present in England’s squad but according to the sources, maybe he is not coming as a fast bowler and coming as a spinner instead of the pacer. He should have to come with pace because he is a one of the best pacer whose bouncers like Shoaib Akther, bowling speed like Haris Rauf, Length like Mitchell Starc, yorkers like Bumra and the action is too much different from the other bowlers. He is running too much slow but still get the ball at 145 plus at least or maybe 150+ when he has mood to do amazing work for the team.

CSK vs Punjab underway in my favorite cricket stadium of all time(Dharamshala). Kings fighting it out in a stadium fit for kings. Chennai were cruising until Chahar screwed them through a double blow.

Mitchell got unlucky. I feel that Chennai will end up scoring something close to 170 which might not be enough against this Punjab side. Let's see what happens.

Both teams are strong in today's game but Chennai Super Kings team is relatively stronger in both bowling line and batting line, they have formed the team with experienced players. That's why I think Chennai Super Kings team has the highest chance of winning in this match today.

in this match Punjab Kings won the match and decided to bowl first. Chennai Super Kings' batting performance is not too good lost 5 wickets in just 117 runs in the first 15 overs of the match against Punjab Kings. Rahul Chahar bowling performance is outstanding picked 2 important wickets by Just giving 5 runs only in 2 overs of the match. Chennai Super Kings will have to score 170 plus runs Target if they will win this match against Punjab Kings.

IPL is now in very interesting phase. Apart from RR there is no confirmation that which other team will make it to play offs. A win today by CSK will take them further up on points table while if PBKS wins then there chances of playing play off will increase. CSK not in good position at the moment, after 17 overs there score is just 136/7. In IPL target of anything less then 200 is vulnerable.

CSK vs PBKS, 53rd Match at Dharamsala, IPL, May 05, 2024. Punjab Kings won the toss and chose to field first for that Chennai Super Kings are playing batting. already completed 19 overs then Chennai Super Kings collect 150/6. All top-order players can't collect a rich amount of runs for that they appear a poor score. It's not a big score to fight against Punjab Kings. I hope the Chennai Super Kings can't collect 170 or much.

There seems to be an Afghan cabal inside the selection committee in GT. Omarzai, Rashid and Noor Ahmad were assured of slots in the playing XI despite repeated poor performances.  

Lol, it's indeed quite funny that most of times GT's foreign slots are occupied by Afghans.

I agree that Noor and Omarzai has been ineffective but Rashid is top-notch all rounder, there is no reason he should be sitting on bench, you can't exclude him cause of few poor bowling performances.


Back to today's match, this is best Harshal Patel I have ever seen, Dhoni getting out on first ball, such a feeling, I can't describe.

Csk has made 167, I 'd call it decent, wouldn't yet bet on Punjab though that they will chase it easily.

[MusaPk]

Top class bowling from PBKS today and the now have an excellent opportunity to grab 2 points. CSK are able to score 167 runs in there 20 overs. Ravindra Jadeja was the top scorer with 43 runs while 3 wickets each for Chahar and Patel. MS Dohni was clean bowled on first ball he faced. Target is low but PBKS still need to be careful as we have seen teams failing to chase such small target in IPL.

In today's match Chennai Super Kings top order batsmen did not perform well especially Moeen Ali batting in ODI style did not play a good innings and some other batsmen could not score well for Chennai Super Kings. Harshal Patel and Arshedeep bowled well towards the end and Chennai Super Kings' innings could not be taken above 168 runs. As Mustafizur Rahman is absent in today's match, the bowling line of Chennai Super Kings is very weak. So it will be very difficult for Chennai Super Kings to stop Punjab Kings from the target of 168 runs in today's match. It is assumed that the defeat of Chennai Super Kings in today's match is mandatory.

I totally agree with you. Needless to say, Chennai Super Kings will win. Also, the match score is very weak due to the worst performance of top-order batsmen in today's match. On the other hand, there is no one as good as Mustafizur Rahman in their bowling line. I can definitely say that Chennai Super Kings will lose today's match. It was only a matter of time before Punjab Kings won by 168 runs.

Quite knew that this wasn't going to be smooth chase for Punjab but this (91-8/15 overs) is insanity.

[JSRAW]

At least no major jump in the run rate but it's more than enough to get ahead of other contenders like Sunrisers and Lucknow. When Punjabis were struggling at 90/8, I thought here we go with a +1 net run rate for CSK.

Considering the tight contest among the top 5 teams, I'm not sure if CSK has enough gas to reach the finals this season but they do have a Champion mindset and you can't rule them out
