T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Bitcoin Smith]

Absolute entertainment! This was the most I have seen Miller in form. Prasidh shouldn't have been given last over, he's mediocre at best, it's just that he sometimes gets wickets, all I see him is bowling bouncers which sometimes yield in wickets.

After six, whatever that tv is called said, 'Ab dilli dur nhi' — I don't know in what context it was said but this is competitive squad of DC, may be they actually can end their trophy drought.

Miller should have taken that single on penultimate delivery, you don't put off your win like that, that was absolutely lapse in judgement.

It is the most exciting match of this season so far, the match went like a seesaw for every over in the end and GT won by just 1 run is an absolute thriller. Miller is gonna regret for saying no to that single, it could have taken the result to draw or win with that but he gave DC a chance there with that move.

But Miller is also the one took the game that looked out of reach for DC at one point, so...!

How many times miller fumbled the chase? I remember t-20 wc final and this match. If its keep happening then he'll surely become a tragedy king.

He'll regret for not taking single but last ball run was on for sure, only if kullee had some miles on his legs. He's lazy af between the wicket.

That was amazing match which  played between Rajasthan Royals and Mumbai Indians. As we know that this match was shortened by rain. And match was limited to 11 overs. Rajasthan Royals played a very good game and they made 150 runs in 11 overs and that was a huge target. And after that Mumbai Indians tried much to reach that target but that was too high but unfortunately they made only 123 runs in 11 overs. Yashasvi Jaiswal was great batsmen who made 77 runs on 32 balls.

Yes, this was 13 th ipl game and played btw RR and MI at Barsapara Cricket Stadium. Today one more ipl game btw GT and DC was played and this was super amazing and intese game btw teams and GT team won this game by close margin 1 runs only.

Burger bowler bowled well and took down 2 wickets and gave 21 runs. Congratulations RR on winning 13 th game and best of luck for next games.

We enjoyed this intense match. Gujarat had given a target of  211 runs. On the other hand, delhi had scored  209 runs. Delhi lost by just 1 run. Undoubtedly, this is their bad luck.

Delhi batted at a big target. But only 3 batsmen of the squad could do well. Kl rahul scored the highest with 92 runs. Nissanka and Miller each managed to add 41 runs to the scoreboard. Gujarat won today because of rashid khan's controlled bowling. He gave only 17 runs in 4 overs and took three  wickets. Experienced bowlers like mohammad Ssiraj also gave a lot of runs today. Siraj gave 52 runs in just 4 overs.

Today we enjoyed a great match of this IPL season where Delhi Capitals and Gujarat Titans faced each other where Gujarat Titans won by just one run. Gujarat Titans batted first and scored 210 runs and in reply, Delhi Capitals managed to score 209 runs for the loss of 8 wickets at the end of 20 overs. In the end, when Delhi Capitals needed 35 runs in two overs, they created a chance to win by taking 23 runs in the 19th over but they could not match the equation of 12 runs at the end. Gujarat Titans finally won by one run with the excellent bowling of Prasidh Krishna in the last over.

What a contest, every moment filled with thrilled. Energy and enthusiasm were seen on both side. Gujrat Titans posted target of 210 runs. Shabman Gill and Buttler together added massive scores in total. It was challenging target but Delhi Capital did extremely good effort for the win. Started game with Nissanka and Rahul. Both contributed well but when match entered in the last over it just made the audience crazy. Very close to the target just one run required for win to the Capital but Alas! They ran out the balls. However, Gujrat Titans got the victory that's truly remarkable.

Sai Sudharsan fell cheaply yesterday, else they could have posted a much more intimidating total. That said, Shubman Gill, Jos Buttler and Washington Sundar made sure that they get to a 200 plus total. Thangarasu Natarajan and Lungi Ngidi were decent, but others leaked a lot of runs for the capitals. Even then, they got very close to winning this match. KL Rahul was the backbone of the Capitals batting, while David Miller kept fighting till the very end. BTW, Mohammed Siraj is having a nightmare season so far. I would suggest Titans to drop him from the playing XI.

Delhi Capitals had won the match when thay had 2 runs on 2 balls. But David Miller made a big mistake at that time. On second last ball he did not take a single which was a clear single but due to overconfident of David Miller they lost the game. He should have saved that match earlier. If match would be tied so there would be super over. And if they made a single on last ball so they could win. But Unfortunately they lost the match.

Keeping everything to the last ball can be a very risky strategy. In the last ball, he tried hard for a single but that only resulted in Kuldeep Yadav getting run out. But you never know. Kuldeep is a proper tail-end batsman. Trusting him with the last ball can also backfire. In the end, Miller just got a fraction of a second to decide whether he needs to go for the single or not. It didn't worked well this time, and he was just unlucky. It was a good opportunity for Delhi Capitals to go up the table, but for now they will stay at no.4. BTW Gujarat Titans got their first win of the season.

[Haunebu]

Miller! I was watching it live from beginning to end and was appalled by his stupidity at the end. Dude did all the hard work and just threw it all down the drain because he thought that allowing Kuldeep to face the final ball would be risky when what he did was riskier.

Kuldeep can bat pretty nicely. He literally ran 3 quarters of the way before going back. These 2 points could spell the difference between DC and GT qualifying for the playoffs later. Brainfade nonsense.

Sai doesn't play aggressive, so pretty sure even if he was there on crease for longer, the score would have been still around to what they put.

BTW, Mohammed Siraj is having a nightmare season so far. I would suggest Titans to drop him from the playing XI.

He got Rahul though, very important wicket in context of the match.

Refusing that single was deffo a mistake. That single would have guaranteed them a super over even if Kuldeep might not have been able to play last ball.

Outcome of match between the Delhi Capitals and the Gujarat Titans was big game error on part of David Miller which has angered fans to huge level. During last over, Miller had sure second run which would have made game much easier to tie or win but instead decided to send Kuldeep Yadav back since he wanted to take last ball with his own hands. This hero feeling failed and Miller had to find boundary to remain in game, which he did not get and Gujarat lost game by three runs. This mistake is especially harmful since Gujarat has already lost two close games, and those lost points may be reason that will not allow them to play in playoffs later this season. Personally, I think that when Miller chose to ignore a safe run and likely Super Over, he had complete mental lapse that could not be forgiven in such experienced player.

[Qastessa]

In their first game away from home, the Lahore Qalandars are caught in a spin they are losing their wickets regularly. At the end of 12 overs against Islamabad United, they are 72 for 5. Imad Waseem and Shadab Khan both have 2 wickets each. Sikandar Raza and Ryan Brul are now at the crease.

The top order has gone back to the pavilion. Islamabad United chose to bowl first. This was a good decision, but Lahore Qalandars are going down they are having inconsistent performance this season. Today, the second game is going to be played between Karachi Kings and Peshawar Zalmi, two undefeated teams this season.

What if Kuldeep got out in the final ball of the match? We need to remember that he is a genuine tail-end batsman. If Kuldeep was put on strike in the last ball, then there was a chance that the match will end up as a tie. Miller went for the win, and in the end that resulted in a loss for his team. Anyway, it is T20 cricket and nothing is certain. One good over and the entire match outcome can change. That said, why put all the blame on Miller? He scored 41 from just 20 balls. And before he came to crease, both Nitish Rana and Sameer Rizvi had contributed a grand total of 5 runs from 7 balls. Then came Axar Patel and Tristan Stubbs who made a combined total of 9 runs from 9 balls.

What? Match would have still went for super over.

Because, this was Miller's mistake. Sure, he brought DC close to winning shore, but by his mistake they were not able to win too.

Then came Axar Patel and Tristan Stubbs who made a combined total of 9 runs from 9 balls.

Whoever batters failed doesn't even matter.


KKR vs LSG — garbage crowd atmosphere.

KKR vs LSG — garbage crowd atmosphere.

Not surprised, given that the match is being played at the Eden Gardens. BTW, KKR has made some sort of a recovery. After Finn Allen got out, Ajinkya Rahane and Angkrish Raghuvanshi were successful in building a partnership. And the run rate is quite decent at the moment. After 7 overs, they are 65/1. Mohammed Shami has only two overs left now, and every other bowler has been expensive out there. KKR has plenty of big hitters to come next. They have Cameron Green, Rinku Singh and Ramandeep Singh at positions 4 to 6. As things stand, they can easily get to 200 if they don't lose too many wickets.

[noormcs5]

Peshawar Zalmi with a great start, also Babar Azam is doing a good approach. In the first over, Khushdil did very well and then when he came back on the 4th over, it was good that Babar Azam was playing him fearlessly and showing his skils of hitting long shots, using good foot work which results well and this is what we want from him, that of course when a batsmen play these kind of shots the other players also motivates and try to similar to them, which is so excellent for any team. He is doing good job today, made 29 and still looking to play a big innings.

Umpire should have checked Fin's dismissal properly, I am feeling extra sad cause I had bet on him to hit few sixes.

Lol, you don't mention Cam Green.

As things stand, they can easily get to 200 if they don't lose too many wickets.

...and 200 is on-par score since last few seasons.

Edit: KKR seems to be derailing. Think they are gonna fall 20-30 runs short to even 200.

I saw that too, it looks like Digvesh touched the boundary rope a little but they didn't even take another angle before giving the decision. Even with all the technology we got still human arrors are happening that can be completely avoided in these cases.

Cam Green is scoring at less than 100 strike rate at the death overs is a crime.

About the last match blunder, Kuldeep is capable of taking singles with no issues, he is a tailender but he did better in test matches on occasions, so he is perfectly capable of scoring that one run in my opinion, even if he didn't that went for a super over.

It's not his fault, he's not in form — he looked relieved when he hit that six; this is player without form. Tbh, he shouldn' even be in squad looking at his form — KKR should be giving chances to Seifert imo.

[Haunebu]

If LSG mess this up, they don't deserve going to the playoffs. Their bowlers literally did all the hard work and put them way on top while their batsmen are making it seem like a 220+ target or something. Smh! Pant keeps performing like crap with the bat.

Good to see Badoni back in form since he has a lot of potential. On the other hand, Raghuvanshi's consistency is epic these days. My bet was on LSG. Let's see how it ends.

[Out of mind]

KKR scored 181 runs today, their batting performance was not that exciting. If they fail to win today's match against LSG, then they will be at the bottom of the points table. KKR team was in good form last season but in this IPL they are very weak with good players in their team. The chances of winning against LSG in today's match are very low, if KKR team fails to beat their opponent today then it will be disappointing for them. LSG team has already lost three wickets but if they can bat patiently then there may be a chance of winning. Right now LSG team needs 94 runs in 55 balls which can be very difficult if they do not lose wickets then there will be a chance of winning. KKR team is trying to improve a lot in their bowling performance and is trying hard enough to win with their opponent.
