T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[GigaBit]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Tom Kohler-Cadmore is a promising young batsman. But he was directly inducted into this high-voltage game, with hardly any prior experience with the group phase matches. And quite predictably he failed. He participated in just 2 group matches, and ended up with a total of 18 runs. Then he made 20 against the RCB. But then, Rajasthan didn't had too many options. But why blame him, when the heavyweights themselves failed? Sanju Samson made 10 from 11 balls, while Riyan Parag made just 6 from 10.

The opening pair of Netherlands made a great start to the target of 162 runs given by Ireland. Max O'Dowd and Michael Levitt these batsmen of the Netherlands batted very well after they got out, no batsman could bat responsibly for the team due to which the Netherlands lost dramatically by three runs to Ireland. But against Ireland, Netherlands batsmen tried to bat responsibly and tried their best to win the match. I would say that the Netherlands' luck was not on their side which led to a three-run defeat against Ireland.

The Dutch are being unlucky here. First they lost to Ireland by 1 run (on 19th May). Now they lost to same opponents by 3 runs. Most be horribly disappointing for the second string Dutch side (their main players are not available due to county championship). And today they had Ireland at 56/4, and then again at 121/6. But in the end George Dockrell and Mark Adair managed to add valuable runs and that made the difference. And in return, it was all over for them once Max O'Dowd got out.

[Ayers]

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.

Rajasthan Royals were unable to reach any closer to the target that was posted by Sunrisers Hyderabad. The target of 175 has not been a very big one in this edition of IPL. It is actually pretty average in my opinion. And they were unable to reach that. Not only that they were unable to even get close to that target. It was an easy win for SRH.

Now the final is going to be played between SRH and KKR. I think KKR is going to have the upper hand. They have played really well throughout this IPL. All the players that they are also in good form right now. I have a feeling that KKR might actually take the trophy.

The first T20 match between South Africa vs West Indies has started and South Africa will bowl first. South Africa bowling very well will surely try to take wickets very quickly against West Indies so that the West Indies players will be under a lot of pressure. On the other hand, West Indies are doing great in the T20 format, so today's match is expected to be a great rivalry.

It's a very rare moments in cricket especially in modern days where West Indies brutally punished top side and won important matches and series despite they have several top class player but to be honest they preferred to played and delivered handsome performances for different franchises instead of national team and that why while have several match winner but still they unable to get huge victories in current time while in past they have a team like horrible dream for any team to face. Anyway it's important victory for them at thier home ground and I think taking them lightly at thier home ground will create difficulties so team should be more prepared to face them at thier home ground in upcoming world cup. At the end congratulations to West Indies for thier victory against top team south Africa

Kolkata Knight Riders have the upper hand, but it is quite unpredictable. Match will take place at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chepauk, so we can expect some advantage for the SRH. One concern for SRH is the recent downturn in form for both Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma. But at the same time, other players such as Rahul Tripathi and Heinrich Klaasen have stepped up their play. That said, they need to have a rethink on sending in Shahbaz Ahmed ahead of Pat Cummins. He wasted a lot of balls today.

[Crypto Library]

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. .

And it is now confirmed that the final match will be between Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Kolkata Knight Riders. The performance of  Sunrisers Hyderabad team today was outstanding but I believe that the Kolkata Knight Riders team was is stronger than Sunrisers Hyderabad team. So my prediction for the final match will be for the team Kolkata Knight riders.

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.

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.

It was a so close  match today Ireland team won this match for only 3 runs. Towards the end of the match I thought that the Ireland team was going to lose today and I was also going to lose my money. Anyway, because they didn't have the ball in their hand, they could get only three more runs and because of that they had to lose the match. But I would say both the Netherlands and Ireland teams performed almost equally today. Anyway, what I thought happened in this tri nation series was Ireland team winning

[Mahdirakib]

Now the final is going to be played between SRH and KKR. I think KKR is going to have the upper hand. They have played really well throughout this IPL. All the players that they are also in good form right now. I have a feeling that KKR might actually take the trophy.

I also think that KKR will win the trophy of this season. Betting site has given same odds for both teams. But I will consider KKR as favourite team. SRH will win the match if their batsmen can set a bit target by batting first. KKR bowling was too good against them in the first qualifier match. The playoff matches weren't competitive at all. The target was average. I hope the final will be a high scoring match and competitive.

[ZAINmalik75]

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

I think Netherlands were so unlucky and so unprofessional in this series because they lose important matches against all those team who were counted after them in ranking and who haven't any big player like them but unfortunately things were going out of thier range first they lose against Scotland and now lose with a very minor margin against Ireland which is totally disappointed because today they have decent chance to revive in the series and they can do it easily but due to immature and worst innings of thier middle order batter B. de Leede they lose the match in last as he face 6 balls and scored just 8 despite having ability to smashed a big shot and can finished the game but instead of taking risk he just rotate strike and lose the match

[Vaskiy]

Now the final is going to be played between SRH and KKR. I think KKR is going to have the upper hand. They have played really well throughout this IPL. All the players that they are also in good form right now. I have a feeling that KKR might actually take the trophy.

I also think that KKR will win the trophy of this season. Betting site has given same odds for both teams. But I will consider KKR as favourite team. SRH will win the match if their batsmen can set a bit target by batting first. KKR bowling was too good against them in the first qualifier match. The playoff matches weren't competitive at all. The target was average. I hope the final will be a high scoring match and competitive.

Both teams are equally strong. This is really good to see as the teams on the top order of points table have reached the finals. There is a big hope that RCB will reach the finals. For some reason they weren't able to make it. When it comes to Rajasthan Royals they were good at the beginning and the performance seems bad at the end of the season and now they've gone out of the league. In the last seven matches they've just won the previous match against RCB.

I think Netherlands had bad series but it is not fair to say they were unprofessional because we can see they won the first match from Scotland. We know that cricket is a game where you need skill and luck and sometimes things do not go as planned. They had good team but Scotland and Ireland played with heart and worked together which can be more important than having talented players. B. de Leede didn't play well. Maybe he was trying to play smart but it did not work out.  Netherlands should learn from this and come back better.

Netherlands won the first match from Scotland after that they only lost the match. In this tri nation series I am looking that Ireland team is looking much stronger as compare to the rest of the teams and I am expecting that they will play well and will win the series too. And I think this is due to the recent series which they played with Pakistan and they played really well in this series. Unfortunately they lost the series but I will appreciate there performance. I hope they will continue thiss performance and will win the series too.
