T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[JSRAW]

Rajasthan did get 3 wickets in the powerplay but I don't think it would trouble the Sunrisers that much because they are scoring at a healthy rate and it'll only get better if Head or Klassen stays longer at the crease. In case of a mini collapse, they might end up using an impact player and strengthen their batting.

Overall, Sunrisers are in complete control atm.

SRH vs RR is quite entertaining at the moment since it seems like it's 50:50 at the moment. RR is taking wickets regularly while SRH is banging the ball nicely. Funny thing is all batsmen who got out so far were caught behind.

RR are definitely the favourites at the moment, but I still think SRH shouldn't be underestimated here. Let's see how this plays out.

Frustration is building up as SRH keeps losing wickets just when a partnership is needed. They are still scoring runs, as there is no point in slowing down now.

With six wickets down, SRH is slowly losing their strong position in Chennai. I don't see a big score on the board unless Klassen hits big.

Right now, I dare to say the match situation is 50:50, but RR has a better chance of winning today's Qualifier 2.

Loving the last 5 overs, it changed the momentum completely.

Still, fingers crossed as Klassen is digging in and if not wrong, then Rajasthan has to fill a couple of overs of spin or 1 if gets lucky and Klassen could seriously damage them.

[libert19]

Avesh takes Nitish Reddy, and Samad back to back, and SRH seems to be in bit of trouble, all hope now on Klassen for SRH to be able to score big. They must make around 200 score to have any chance.

Markram fails again as 4th foreigner spot, I wonder why they don't use Phillips.

Avesh Khan has improved a lot recently and chepauk feels empty without Chennai playing on ground.

I think this time there is a must for the team of Sunrise Hyderabad and the crowd has to convince Travis Head to hit shots. In the group stage matches, Travis Head always played well in the first overs and also hit boundaries even we can see his batting at least 100 times and would never bored but now I think everybody put pressure on it and he came under pressure which caused of his bad performance.

Let’s see what will happen and what target Sunrisers Hyderabad manages to give because now their condition is not good, the player who made the score in the start has been all out and now they have already lost 6 wickets.

Sunrisers Hyderabad's batsmen cannot provide big targets. In today's match I expected to see 400+ runs in this match.   Because both Hyderabad and Rajasthan had strong batting orders.   But Hyderabad managed to collect 175 runs today with the loss of 9 wickets.   Heinrich Klaasen scored 50 from 34 balls and Rahul Tripathi scored 37 from 15 balls. Besides, no batsman could bat well in Hyderabad's squad.

Even if Hyderabad could not give a big target, Hyderabad still has the ability to win this match.   Rajasthan's batting is very slow today. Rajasthan mustered only 67 runs in 8.3 overs. Tom Kohler-Cadmore scored 10 runs off 16 balls. Jaiswal played very well in today's match as well. Jaiswal got out after collecting 42 runs from 21 balls. Captain samson scored 10 runs from 11 balls. Rajasthan are under a lot of pressure at the moment with the loss of three wickets.

[Insanity]

In today's 6th match of the Netherlands T20 tri-series, Netherlands team lost against Ireland by 3 runs. However, in today's match, the Netherlands team lost against Ireland, but the Netherlands team was able to play many competitive games. In today's match, Netherlands team continued to try hard to win. But unfortunately, the Netherlands had to surrender to the Ireland team by a very short margin. However, if the batsmen of the Netherlands team could have tried better, then the Netherlands team could have snatched the entire point of this match. On the other hand, Ireland team has won today's match and is at the top of the T20 tri-series points table with maximum points. Congratulations to the Ireland Cricket Team

[JSRAW]

Shit! Choosing to ball first turned out to be a disaster as out of nowhere ball started turning.

It was their time to shine but Jaiswal, Sanju and Parag all threw away their wicket. Poor RR are in big trouble. Still, a couple of good batters are left but it feels like a match is about to get done because the pressure is on the Royals, need some brave innings now.

-------------
Edit
Jeez a part timer picking up 2 wickets, sums up Royals batting tonight.

[redsun114]

After 12 overs while Rajasthan Royals chasing target of 175 having problematic end of their campaign in this season while they are 81 for 5 even Jaiswal done good job, but we have no support for him with Shahbaz Ahmad double strike in 12th over sink them as now he is leading from the front having 3 wickets in this important game is increasing his tally of wickets now all set for the final between KKR vs SRH which is going to be interesting because both teams are doing impressive job from the start and having good quality players which are informed for having title.

There were expectations about this match is going to be had some good entertainment, but sadly RR are having not good day in batting which allow SRH to have easy win and spot into final against KKR.

I don't see any chance of Rajasthan winning at the moment. But I am really surprised by the performance of Hyderabad bowlers today.   Hyderabad's bowling is very controlled today.   Hyderabad's bowlers have already picked up 5 wickets. 

The batsmen of Rajasthan Royals managed to collect 90 runs after losing 5 wickets in 13 overs. This is not a good collection. Rajasthan's batsmen could not collect an average of 7 runs per over. Rajasthan must collect 86 runs off 42 balls. As the team has already lost 5 wickets. So I don't think the team can collect 86 runs off 42 balls now.

[FinePoine0]

If the Rajasthan Royals keep losing wickets like this, chances are very high that they will lose all their wickets very quickly. As four wickets fell for 90 runs in 13 overs, Rajasthan Royals must make up for the lack of patient batsmen. Because basically if you want to go to the final match, you must perform better, basically the batsmen are out very easily. All the batsmen who are there now are basically not experienced in batting. I think Rajasthan Royals have 70 percent chance of losing this match.

The current match condition can be said to be slightly in favor of Sunrisers Hyderabad. Lost 6 wickets before Rajasthan Royals scored 100. I think the current partnership especially with the wicket of Rovman Powell can easily predict the outcome of the match. The match condition is bad for Rajasthan Royals but still if they can keep the wickets and play then it is not impossible to win this match. Scoring 83 runs from 36 balls is not a very difficult task. Required run rate cannot be said to be too high. Just over 13 runs per over. The result of the match can change at any time if two overs are play and scored better. As long as Rovman Powell is on the pitch, there is hope for the team.

[Haunebu]

Holy moly! I expected SRH to win this one, but I never expected their random bowlers to perform better than their main bowlers. Semifinal pressure clearly got to RR and their season is almost done now.

Required run rate cannot be said to be too high. Just over 13 runs per over. The result of the match can change at any time if two overs are play and scored better. As long as Rovman Powell is on the pitch, there is hope for the team.

Totally possible if there is dew and if the pitch is batting friendly which clearly isn't the case which is why SRH almost won this one.

I thought we might see Rajasthan vs Kolkata final.   But Rajasthan's bowlers can bowl well but their batsmen can't.   Rajasthan cannot collect 176 runs today because of batsmen's bad batting.   In 18 overs, Rajasthan lost 7 wickets and collected 124 runs.   Dhruv Jurel remains unbeaten with 52 off 24 balls.   It doesn't seem possible to me that Rajasthan will score 50 runs in the last two overs and win.

I would say that because of Shahbaz Ahmed and ABhishek SHArma's excellent bowling, Hyderabad are going to win this match. Shahbaz Ahmed picked up three wickets for just 23 runs in 4 overs and Abhishek Sharma picked up two wickets for just 24 runs in 4 overs. 

Whether Hyderabad can do well against Kolkata in the final is not certain.   Sunrisers Hyderabad have lost their last two matches against Kolkata. .

[Out of mind]

Rajasthan Royal's team is struggling to meet the target of 176 runs. In today's match, Sunrise Hyderabad had a very good batting and bowling performance comparatively. However, Rajasthan Royals are under a lot of pressure at the moment, and they still have a long way to go to win. I don't think they can win today's match with the way they are playing. If Rajasthan Royal loses today's match then it will be very painful as RR team has been in very good form since the start of IPL, and they have done well in every match. But if they lose today's Qualifier 2 match against Sunrise Hyderabad, then they will definitely not enter the final match today. In today's match, Sunrise Hyderabad might be going to enter the final match after seeing their excellent bowling performance. Right now Rajasthan Royals need to collect 52 runs from 14 balls which is a very difficult moment. Rajasthan Royals will be out of IPL without meeting this target in today's match and Sunrise Hyderabad will enter the final.

Yeah, Sunrisers Hyderabad posted the target of 176 runs Rajasthan Royals failed to chase this total they made only 139 runs Rajasthan team was playing well start of the innings but after 10 overs gone they did not save their wickets which causes lost. Sunrisers Hyderabad successfully defended and qualified for final that they will play against Kolkata Knight Riders on Sunday both teams have played good quality cricket in whole season of IPL and remain top 2 in the standings till last match Now they will give though time to each other in the final Game

[Sithara007]

LOL.. end of IPL for Rajasthan Royals and Sanju Samson. They started so well, but faltered when it mattered the most. When they defeated Royal Challengers Bengaluru during the playoff match, I thought that they had regained form. But today's batting display from RR was just shocking. Apart from Yashasvi Jaiswal and Dhruv Jurel, no one made any significant contributions. And the experiment with Tom Kohler-Cadmore for the opener failed miserably. Samson and Parag were also out of touch today.

Ireland  vs  Netherland

Today Ireland is playing against Netherlands in the sixth match of the tri national series of Ireland, Scotland and Netherlands. The Ireland team is in very good form.   The Ireland team has not been defeated in any of the three matches.   Two won and one abandoned. On the other hand, Netherlands are at the bottom of the table with two losses out of 3 matches.

Netherlands won the toss and took the field today. We don't see better batting from Ireland's batsmen today.   At the end of 18 overs, Ireland's players managed to collect 127 runs with the loss of 6 wickets. There is no way to call it a good collection.   Ireland's batsmen should be given a target of at least 160 runs.   But today the Ireland team will probably give a target of 140-145. Netherlands has a big chance to win today's match.

George Dockrell is on rocks in the last over I thought with the batting performance of the Ireland team today they would not be able to cross 145 runs but George Dockrell got a good run towards the last and his half-century I think will help the Ireland team to win.
I would say that the Ireland team is less likely to win today unless they can cross 140. Anyway, they might score 160 and I think that's a good run as an international T20 format. So now time to see how their bowling performance going to be. The required run rate will be over 8 for Netherland. I think the chances of wining  Ireland is more in today's match I will select Ireland for my bet.

Ireland scored only 57 runs in the first 10 overs. So I thought that the Ireland team would not be able to collect big. However, Ireland managed to collect 104 runs in the last 10 overs.   Ireland team has done a good batting. George Dockrell's unbeaten 30-ball 53 in particular was much needed. This is why the Ireland team was able to provide a target of 162 runs.

Netherlands lost today's match by a narrow margin. The players of Netherlands managed to collect 158 runs by losing 5 wickets. Netherlands needed 25 runs in the last 3 overs.   But the Netherlands batsmen failed to collect only 25 runs from 18 balls.

RR played mediocre even against their game against RCB, Sanju said during toss that they learned from their mistakes from their match against RCB but the way Sanju/Jaiswal/Parag threw away their wickets despite having no need to play big shots says they actually didn't learn from their mistakes.

Cadmore was experimented due to forced absence of Buttler, what could be done?

Honestly, I'm glad that SRH won, they should give better competition to KKR in finale.
