T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[ThemePen]

Despite DC making a good score, having quality bowlers in their shade, they won because of questionable departure of Samson, and this win keeps DC into the play-offs race, which is hard to believe, and now they are competiting against quality teams like SRH, CSK, LSG which were dominating the competition at one point.

Exactly 200+ runs target is an excellent target. And Delhi Capitals gave 222 runs target to Rajasthan Royals. DC batting was really good especially the first partnership was really good. Abishek Porel was good in batting he made 65 runs and Jake Fraser-McGurk made 50 runs. These two players are the reason of DC winning. But Rajasthan Royals has Sanju Samson who played really well and he made 86 runs. But Rajasthan Royals need a team work only one man can't do everything. Sanju needed a good partnership but no one stand with him to survive. So unfortunately Rajasthan Royals lost this match. And congratulations to Delhi Capitals.

Jake Fraser has been a standout in his debut IPL season and he maintained his form against Delhi too. With half-centuries from Abishek, Jake Fraser, and Tristan  powerful finish, Delhi set a target of 222 runs for Rajasthan Royals. Rajasthan's batting looked strong until Sanju Samson's innings. He made a brilliant comeback, but unfortunately couldn't carry Rajasthan Royals to victory. Tough luck for them. It's an important win for Delhi Capitals, keeping their hopes alive for making play-offs.

There is going to be a lot of controversy after this match. The main reason why Rajasthan Royals won this match was due to the fact that Sanju Samson was given out when he was caught by Shai Hope near the boundary line. For me, it looked as if Hope's foot was touching the boundary rope. Samson was quite upset and he had an argument with the on-field umpires. After he got out, wickets fell like a peck of cards, and in the end Rajasthan fell short by 21 runs. Samson fans are going to be mad at Michael Gough, the TV umpire.

Umpiring has been questionable in this season but in the post-match analysis, it did look like Shai Hope didn't touch the rope. Having said that when Umpires take ample time to check wides etc then they should also check such incidents from different angles. You simply can't rush your decisions and create unnecessary controversy.

2 consecutive losses to RR so it feels like RR finally decided to choke in the last phase of the season.

Delhi Capitals had a good batting performance which allowed them to set a huge target of 222 runs. But Rajasthan Royal although batting performance was good especially Samson made a great score but no other player could bat well due to his partnership. If the game could have been played by any other player then maybe Rajasthan Royals would have won with Delhi Capitals. Most of the batsmen didn't stay at the crease for long after Samson got out, if any of the batsmen could have caught the game well then victory was assured but unfortunately they lost. Delhi Capitals gave their all to win against Rajasthan and collect the points. Rajasthan Royals lost their points and the points table they did not succeed to occupy the first place if they win then KKR could have occupied the place.

It was pretty obvious that Hope didn't touch the rope since you could literally see the shadow properly which is why this isn't a controversy at all and Samson should have walked off instead of questioning the umpires in this case.

2 consecutive losses to RR so it feels like RR finally decided to choke in the last phase of the season. 

This is what I thought too. RR choking in this manner right before the playoffs is a bad sign for them. Momentum is on KKR's side.

Unfortunately, Rajasthan Royals lost by 20 runs against Delhi Capitals in the 56th match of the Indian Premier League today. Where we have seen the performance of Rajasthan Royals from the start of this season's league has been excellent. But lately the performance of Rajasthan Royals has started going down slowly which is a big disappointment for Rajasthan Royals. Rajasthan Royals' defeat against Delhi Capitals in today's match is truly unbelievable. I never imagined that Rajasthan Royals would perform so badly in the final stages of this league. But I think, in today's match Rajasthan Royals lost the match because of bowling weakness. Because the bowlers of Rajasthan Royals could not create any pressure on the batsmen of the Delhi Capitals team. As a result, Rajasthan Royals "had" to face a big target in today's match.

Rajasthan Royals could have won but they were underperforming. But the Rajasthan Royals team has some shortcomings due to which they have to lose at the last minute with the Delhi team. Riyan Parag and Jos Buttler did not perform well, Jos Buttler scored 19 runs off 17 balls and Riyan Parag scored 27 off 22 balls. This kind of performance is not usually applicable in T20 games, if they could have done an aggressive batting performance then they would have definitely won by overcoming the deficit of 20 runs. Hence, Rajasthan Royals team is severely lacking here and has performed poorly in bowling as well.

Yesterday Delhi Capitals batting line-up looked devastating to me as their opening pair played the best. In particular, Abhishek Poral and Jake Fraser-McGurk put on a 60-run partnership off just 26 balls. Of which Jake Fraser-McGurk collected 50 runs off twenty balls and Abhishek Porel collected 65 runs off 36 balls. Apart from these two, South African batsman Tristan Stubbs was more devastating towards the end with a 20-ball 41 towards the end. Rajasthan batsmen could not bat the way Delhi batted in yesterday's match only Sanju tried to fight alone. No one could provide proper support to Sanju Samson as their team Rajasthan Royals lost the match against Delhi Capitals and lost points.

Today the 57th match of Indian Premier League starts, two teams with good performance in the points table will win this match. Right now Sunrise Hyderabad team VS Lucknow super Giants will participate and today's game will be full of intense competition. Because the team that will perform poorly today will definitely not be able to participate in the match in the qualifiers. That's why I think both teams will try hard to perform well.

I was today following T20I of Mongolia's tour to Japan (Yes it's official T20I recognized by ICC) and found out that in 2nd match Mongolia was all out in 12 runs and Japan won by 205 runs. And thought that could break some records. The first match was equally funny where Mongolia were all out in 33 runs and Japan won by 166 runs.
The funniest thing is they are playing 7 T20I in the series and some day there are two matches in 1 day. The third match had no result where Japan scored 253 and Mongolia were 4/1.

Pakistan tour of Ireland 2024


After two days the good series is loading between Pakistan and Ireland and it would be a good series but only for Pakistan because in these matches they can test their some of the players who are good but didn’t play well against New Zealand like Azam Khan, and Usman Khan. They need to perform against a relatively weak side of Ireland.

The three T20Is matches series is coming. Also, once again Hasan Ali comes in the squad and this is also a good series where we can check Hasan Ali form and whether he is good for the World Cup squad or not. These are some things that make this series a wonderful, interesting and special series for Team Pakistan.

From the day the Pat Cummins became a more successful captain from Sunrisers Hyderabad, he started to see aggression and being proud as in the IPL talks section when a journalist asked to Pat Cummins that which team would win this match his IPL then he just said: “It’s so simple question, of course Sunrise Hyderabad and no chance for any others.”

After he went to an interview then he got a question which is which team are the top 4 in this World Cup 2024 then his answer was simple “Australia and you can take any other three” but when the anchor said that was taking the interview that it’s your question, give the answer then he clearly said “I don’t care, we can beat any team.”

I do not know where to take it as a self-confidence or over confidence but sometimes if the captain is overconfident, this may not be good for the overall team as they think that they will win without effort

In Japan vs Mongolia 2nd T20 match, Japan team came out to bat and lost 7 wickets in 20 overs and set a target of 217 runs. Japan team batsman Sabaorish Ravichandran scored 69 runs in 39 balls. Kendel Fleming scored 32 runs in 17 balls. Mongolia team came out to bat and scored 12 runs in 8.2 overs.  I did not think that the Mongolia team will be all out by 12 runs. Japan team's bowling line was excellent in today's match.

Sunrise Hyderabad will surely perform strong today, as every team will try to participate in the qualifiers.  Sunrise Hyderabad team and Lucknow Super Giants have played 11 matches each and won 6 matches each. However, Sunrisers Hyderabad have occupied the fourth place in the points table due to the good win rating of the team. But it will be the most competitive match between these two teams and I hope Sunrise Hyderabad can win this match. Because their team is composed of aggressive batting and bowling.  As the game of cricket is a game of uncertainty, it is difficult to say which team will win, so we have to wait until the game is over.

Kendel Fleming scored 32 runs in 17 balls. Mongolia team came out to bat and scored 12 runs in 8.2 overs.  I did not think that the Mongolia team will be all out by 12 runs. Japan team's bowling line was excellent in today's match.

Total three clashes of this competition was finished already and today second and third clash was completed among Mongolia sqaud against Japan squad. In all matches, Mongolia did not display good performance in any single clash and same as in today second match, Mongolia Squad just successfully achieved 12 scores and total defeating target which set by Japan squad was 217 scores. I did not expect that Mongolia displayed such a bad performance in this competition not only today match but also same kind of performance was displayed in previous first match and they successfully achieved few scores and lost all batter wickets. Kazuma Kato-Stafford bowler bowled total 3.7 overs against Mongolia batters and in these overs he picked up total 5 batters and showcased unbelievable strength. Third match was also finished but outcome was not came out because of bad weather.

Fan's judgment could be clouded and depend on loyalties. At first look, It was a tight one and could've gone either way but it's only up to umpires if they want to give the benefit of the doubt to the fielder or batter.

Conclusive evidence helps, unfortunately, the 3rd Umpire didn't use all the resources. It only implies how poorly they are trained in all the tech stuff.

2 consecutive losses to RR so it feels like RR finally decided to choke in the last phase of the season.  

This is what I thought too. RR choking in this manner right before the playoffs is a bad sign for them. Momentum is on KKR's side.

Hope, they didn't peak too early lol.

Always happens with Rajasthan Royals, right? Their two batting superstars for this season (Sanju Samson and Riyan Parag) did a decent job. But in the end, a 220 plus target proved to be a bit too much for them to chase. They lost the game because their bowlers were really wayward. Avesh Khan went for 42 runs in 2 overs. Trent Boult and Sandeep Sharma went for 48 and 42 respectively from their 4 overs. Only Ravichandran Ashwin bowled economically, as he conceded just 24 runs from his 4 overs (and picked 3 crucial wickets).

[Haunebu]

Big match ongoing between LSG and SRH currently. Am expecting SRH to win this one though it might go right down to the wire. Lucknow are clearly over-dependent on Rahul and Stoinis which is their biggest weakness.

3rd umpires in Cricket made me respect on field umpires a lot  more. Their analysis parts are some of the most comical parts in any game.

Lol yeah, they have this weird habit of going down as the tournament progresses but look at the bright side, they are making things interesting, and now Delhi has also entered the juicy scenario.

Checked the 3rd Umpire's name and it turned out to be Michael Gough, an elite ICC umpire. Overall, he's a good one but seriously needs more training with the technology.

It's true for a majority of umpires, most of the time they are good when on the field but sometimes fumble when pushing the buttons.

Delhi's fortunes changed solely due to Jake Fraser-McGurk. This guy has been amazing. So far he has scored 309 runs from just 7 matches, at a strike rate of 235.87. No one can match him as far as strike rate is concerned among the top order or middle order batsmen. After 5-6 matches, Delhi Capitals were fluctuating between the 8th and 9th positions in the points table. Now they are at the 5th position, with a good possibility of qualifying for the playoffs. Win against RR yesterday was amazing.

The first over was done with a good balling and a good start.  Bhuvneshwar Kumar has done good bowling in the first over and i hope he will do the same in the next overs because they have to make sure that the score of Lucknow Super Giants as less as possible else the whole team going to depend on Travis Head.

At this time, its seems that the game would be picked by Sunrisers Hyderabad because from the starting they are playing very amazing and they also have very wonderful batsmen who are likely to take the team to the wins as we have seen in the last matches. If we look at the scorecard, it is 68 for four wickets down and it seems that Lucknow Super Giants are in deep trouble.

By the way, I thought that Krunal Pandya was playing so well in these circumstances but he was run out by Cummins. Pat Cummins has his birthday today and he must be happy with this wicket
