T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[virasog]

Almost in every game of this season of PSL, we often saw that it is very bad that the teams are being relaxed after the power play, they must have charged in the middle overs as well. But at the same time, they look to make a partnership, so it is all about the mindset of the players as well as the team plan, because everyone looks with a different point of view. If you are looking at it from a different point of view, you might be right however Peshawar Zalmi made a big total of 246 runs and that is very hard for Karachi Kings to chase that target.

[AgriTrack]

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.

the Delhi team decided to field and gave Gujarat a chance to bat in which they gave a target of 210 runs in 20 overs. This score is a good target in terms of overs. From their team, Shubman Gill scored 70 runs and with him Washington Sundar scored 55 runs and at the third position Jos Buttler scored 52 runs. They have scored a very good score for their team, which can be estimated by looking at the target. Rashid Khan from their team was declared the player of the match and while fighting their target, the Delhi team scored 209 runs, which they have played well but they were not lucky to win. From their team, KL Rahul has scored more runs than both the teams, which is based on a score of 92. He has scored a good score. Along with this, two players David Miller and Pathum Nissanka scored 41 runs which was a good score. Apart from them, David Miller did not score.  He was also out. He showed strength for his team but they failed to win and the Gujarat team won the match by just one run. If the Delhi team had bowled harder and stopped the score, they could have won the match but they failed.

[Compromise me]

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.

That was a exciting match because Peshawar zalmi cricket team performance is at top because they made good target in this match and their score was 246 at the end of last over . All team performance was good and Babar Azam should be only in the PSL because he can play only on Pak pitches and he has no capabilities to play against big teams and his form was very bad when he played for national team but he is playing for the franchise which is looking good. Kusal Mendis made century in this match which is big achievement by that player because he gave good rhythm to his team when it was required to his team and all players effort was great on plat pitch and we are thinking Peshawar zalmi could win this match with more than 100 runs.

[savetheFORUM]

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.

After hitting 6 on the 4th ball of the 20th over, he set all things after this, refusing a single, surely a big mistake because this was a chance where they could end on level as well as their defeat almost gone, but he refuses and then pays the price with the loss of this match by 1 run, surely a big setback for them.

The 19th over was a big turning point because having 23 runs against Mohammad Siraj brought this game to a level where both were in for a win, while still doing a good job having 11 runs in 4 balls. From here they were winners, but just one wrong decision brought them down and they faced a loss on the last ball. Overall, it was a good win for the Gujarat Titans after losing two games and the first defeat for the Delhi Capitals.

[Haunebu]

Mukhul choudhary! What the blazing hell did this dude eat before playing? Wow! He did what Miller couldn't from an even tougher position frankly speaking. I thought LSG were fried when Badoni got out, but this dude just went berserk and fried KKR instead.

Banger after banger. DC vs GT and LSG vs KKR turned out to be the best matches of this season so far for me. Also, KKR is not winning the trophy this time around(Early prediction) and Pommie's commentary is truly epic.

Last night, there was Peshawar Zalmi vs Hyderabad Kingsmen and I typically enjoyed watching that game, which was a nail-biter. We got the result on the last bowl. Early Hyderabad Kingsmen with not so good batting, but then the way they made the comeback was significant. Some batsmen from Peshawar Zalmi were looking for boundaries, but from the other end, Babar Azam was building the innings and scored some crucial runs, which really helped the team a lot, while the game was still so intense.

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.

They won, but still I wouldn't say they deserve in play-offs, and they aren't going to.

By the way, this was most pathetic crowd i have ever seen. Felt like some local league, despite match absolutely going to wire (which was not expected at all).

...and well done to Mukul — I need that kind of self-belief, where do you get it from?

Another thriller, another exciting end of the game. Mukul Choudhry has done amazing stuff in the last 9 balls with 4 sixes and 1 four. This brings an exciting win for LSG after losing early wickets, but these new generation players keep hitting and stealing wins. What an end to the game at Kolkata! 54 runs in the last 4 overs—good fight back. I was sure they were going to lose when they had 128 for 7, but now it's not easy for any team to have wins.

Fighters are coming and giving their impact at this big stage in front of thousands of fans who are having high level of entertainment. Second win for LSG, while KKR now has 3 losses out of 4 games. This is going to be below for them tomorrow another exciting game between Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Banglore at Guwahati.

We are still in the early days of IPL but the excitement level due to the nail biters one after another shows the quality of IPL over any other leage in this world. And what an amazing finish from choudary, these young and unknown talents are not asking for the chances but they are breaking the doors and making a way for them.

Tomorrow is going to be even interesting, RR is coming after trashing MI and RCB also coming after a win, they are both solid with their bat but RR got an endge with slightly better bowling unit unless josh hazelwood is playing the next one for RCB.

[Nanga Parbat]

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.

This target was enough strong and good, while in IPL such a target is not successful with much strength on the contrary it is true that their batsmen did not try hard to strengthen this target, due to which they had to lose this match. They did the same, they did not victory this match, if they did not make a target stronger than their batsman, then their bowling should have been tough due to which their target would have been strong and they would have succeeded. If Kolkata rider had victory this match, they would have been above super giant, but super giant scored runs with effort and difficulty. They did not change themselves in this league due to which they are not strong. Then they should have played with good effort and made a strong target for them, due to which they did not see any explanation in defeat. Kolkata rider batsmen did not lose many wickets but still could not take the target beyond 200, while Super giant victory by losing 7 wickets in achieving this target.

Actually, the way Karachi Kings have performed so far, I never thought that they would lose to Peshawar Zalmi by such a big margin, I was really hoping that we would see a competitive performance from them but Karachi Kings batsmen failed miserably today.

Kings top order David Warner and Muhammad Waseem were in total zero today, can you imagine? At the same time, Azam Khan's 25 runs off 27 balls was basically the highest score from them. What a shameful performance from Karachi Kings.

Such matches really spoil the beauty of cricket, especially when Peshawar Zalmi batted and scored 246 runs, it seemed like a very easy batting pitch, but when Karachi Kings started batting, it seemed like a complete bowling pitch. Such a discriminatory batting is not expected in the same match, especially when the bowling of Peshawar Zalmi's three bowlers Nahid Rana, Iftikhar Ahmed and Sufian Mukim was so attacking that no batsman could survive their bowling. Peshawar Zalmi's batting was a completely chaotic Test style, which made the audience very upset.

I honestly don't understand whether Karachi Kings' performance today was bad because they had a poor bowling performance in the beginning and as a result their confidence level dropped so low that they couldn't even go above 100 runs in batting.

To be honest, because of the crazed and have mentioned only the bad batting performance here, the names of the bowlers are not mentioned here, here I am saying again that both the bowling and batting performance of Karachi Kings today was shameful. And truly afraid for that the downfall of Karachi Kings will start from here.

Kusal Mendis made century in this match which is big achievement by that player because he gave good rhythm to his team when it was required to his team and all players effort was great on plat pitch and we are thinking Peshawar zalmi could win this match with more than 100 runs.

Peshawar Zalmi team defeated Karachi Kings team in today game with outclass allrounder performance. After losing first wicket (Mohammad Haris), their batsmen did strong comeback and posted huge target of 246 runs in 20 inning. Babar Azam and Kusal Mendis batsmen built great partnership that changed potential of this match and Abdul Samad batsmen added 40 quick runs at end of inning to strengthen target. Both their batting and bowling players of PZ performed exceptionally well.

On other hand, Karachi Kings team failed to handle pressure of total and lost control of game from very beginning. Their opener were dismissed for zero runs and full team only managed 87 runs total which was very poor response to such big total. Performance of Peshwar Zalmi was exceptionally well in bowling especially Nahid Rana bowler and Sufiyan Muqeem, both bowled with great discipline and made match completely one sided. Overall, it was complete team effort by Zalmi against Karachi Kings team and won by big margin.

In PSL, KK team won 3 game in a row without losing any game before today's game and today they lost 1 st game by PZ team. PZ team played 4 games in which one was abandoned and other 3 they won. In 17 th psl game, KK team won toss and they got opportunity to choose field ot bat and they elected field first and gave batting line to PZ team. PZ batsmen put KK team in pressure and they set big target 246 runs in 20 overs by losing 3 wickets. Babar today batted so brilliant and he scored 87 runs in 51 balls and hitted ten 4s and two 6s. Kusal made brilliant century and played outstanding with Babar and he scored 109 runs in 52 balls and hitted fourteen 4s and four 6s. KK team only chased 87 runs target and lost 17 th game by big margin 159 runs. Congratulations PZ team and Iftikhar bowler helped to win this game and took 3 wickets in 2.1 overs.

Don't know what happened all of a sudden. KK bowlers were in exceptional form, but against Peshawar Zalmi they had a horrendous outing. Khushdil Shah was the only bowler with an economy of less than 10, and even he conceded 9.25 runs per over. The less talked about Mir Hamza and Abbas Afridi, that better. Adam Zampa went wicketless and leaked tons of runs. For the Kings, it was their bowling which gave them the advantage during the initial matches. But I am not sure how they are going to recover from his heavy drubbing. The next match for them is against a weak Hyderabad Kingsmen, at Karachi tomorrow.

Bowling team of the Karachi Kings suffered shameful loss to Peshawar Zalmi when they gave away a record breaking 246. Bowlers performed poorly with star spinner Adam Zampa not being saved as they were unable to stop record 191 run partnership between Babar Azam and Kusal Mendis. I think that this mess happened due to fact that the Kings did not use their careful way to adjust to high scoring ground and though 159 run loss had bad result on their net run rate, it might have been needed wake up call to avoid their carelessness in future. Tomorrow against winless Hyderabad Kingsmen will be best chance to make things right. They will have to be able to beat weakest team in league, otherwise it will be sign that their bowling problems is lasting mark and not just bad night.

[libert19]

RR vs RCB, now this is the matchup I am excited for, both are quality teams, expecting a competitive matchup. Seems oddmakers have come to their senses and have adjusted the odds this time around — current odds are 1.95/1.85 (RR/RCB) but I made a bet on RR yesterday, back then odds were 2.05 for RR.

On note, yesterday was disastrous, made 6 bets, lost 5.

David Warner won the toss, and he decided to bat first. Of course, a new ball is good for the team bowling first, so it was a good decision. Then, on the second ball of the match, Muhammad Haris lost his wicket just like in his previous game. He has to play the bowl on his merit, he used to expose his wickets and then he try to play the short, I don't understand why he is playing these kind of poor shots when he has wonderful shots such as scoop and others.

What an outstanding performance of Peshawar Zalmi today against Karachi Kings. The way they made game and pitch difficult for the Karachi king was truly appreciatable. Kusal Mendis completed his sensational century and Babar Azam played the innings with maturity give benefit to their team. But response of Karachi king was too much unexpected and miserable even not a single has the ability to play defending innings. And as a result Karachi King face heavy defeat with the huge number of 159 runs. There is a need for Karachi King to reassess their team.
