T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[virasog]

Hyderabad already lost 4 matches in a row and now that was a huge achievement for the Hyderabad Kingsmen because they have won first match ever in this league from Karachi Kings. Karachi Kings played first turn and they gave 189 runs target to Hyderabad. And they chased the target in 19.1 overs. And Hyderabad won their first match by 4 Wickets and five ball remaining. I hope they will continue this winning strike and go to the next round.

Yesterday there were also some changes in the plan of Hyderabad Kingsmen compared to their previous games, for example, Marnus Labuschagne, who is also the captain of the team, came as the opener and scored 26 runs off 10 balls which is really great and excellent game of power hitting. So he played a crucial role in the victory as well. Before he used to came at number 3 or maybe number 4 but this time he made changes in his game too and finally played a good knock.

Boult seems like a washed out now, in last match he had a fair argument that he didn't get the new ball and faced punishment but today he got the new ball but result is same. Swung just one ball and went for six with just flicking the wrist by kohli.

He's key attack bowler of MI so dude need to find his mojo, hopefully he does something in death overs.

Edit

Not a pleasant start from the Kiwis. Satner facing the music as well.

[Compromise me]

I was patiently waiting for the match when we will see Hyderabad Kingsmen and Rawalpindiz otherwise these teams are nothing. Hyderabad Kingsmen squad is not even so good, they are mainly consists of young players and those do not have idea how to stable such situations but on the other hand, Rawalpindiz is really great with Muhammad Amir, Muhammad Rizwan as captain while they are may experienced players, still they are not winning, what was the need to purchase all these players at high rates in the auction when they are doing nothing.

Rawalpindiz cricket team performance is very bad in this tournament because no player is playing like a  league cricket and they are playing like a club cricket because both teams performance is very bad because these are new teams and no team is playing very well in this tournament. Hyderabad Kingsmen  team played very well in the last match because they won the match against Karachi kings. Muhammad Rizwan have to take responsibility of that match because he is playing with low strike rate but these pitches are of highest strike rate pitches . Glenn Maxwell Is a big name and he should try to hit well in this match because fans have great expectations from that player.

That's hell of a shitty knock from the kohli lol

When pitch is belter and 250 looks normal, this 50 off 38 kind of inning could cost your team a match and much needed cushion for the bowlers. He should thanks his stars, if it was someone else then retired hurt was surely on the card.

[MinMan]

Cricket is on a rampage with this new level, which is set by IPL having 220 to 240. It is common with no guarantee to win. Things could be more exciting with this Virat Kohli using his experience having a 140 strike rate, but both of his partners are doing amazing stuff. Phil Salt scored 78 runs on just 36 balls, while Rajat Patidar scored 38 runs on just 10 balls. This is all about how things are working, and now new standards are also set for improving entertainment.

At the end of 14 overs, 183 runs with 26 boundaries—amazing stuff and entertaining cricket from these youngsters. Mayank Markande conceded 40 runs in 2 overs, while Trent Boult was also punished with 40 runs. Shardul Thakur, the only wicket taker, conceded 32 runs in 2 overs.

I think himself was aware of his shitty knock looking at how he threw his helmet and gloves in dugout upon getting out, didn't celebrate fifty either.

By the way, why was Paddikal not sent out today?

Edit: RCB fanbase as of late seems to be over shadowing the home crowds, hearing their chants everywhere.

Edit 2: MI needs some batting strength, after Hardik it just feels lacklustre.

Would've been better if he had shown some intent with the bat, felt like he was just spectating in both partnerships.

If mumbai manages to chase it down this target successfully, big if because need perfect chase but if they do then i hope post match analysis is fixed on Kohli's inning and not RCB'S bowlers.

[Haunebu]

LSG vs GT turned out to be such a boring encounter thanks to Lucknow batting and bowling like crap while GT obliterated them. My bet on LSG went down the drain. On the other hand, my bet on MI seems to have failed too thanks to RCB's mammoth total.

MI will lose this one, but the bigger question is what the margin of defeat would be since that would impact the net run rate. Good to see Salt performing well after a long, long time.

Lucknow matches always tend to be meh, that Mukul one is the only exception to my knowledge. As for betting, Lucknow didn't put good enough total for GT batters to perform, so few bets of mine went down a drain as well.

Good to see Salt performing well after a long, long time.

I had this bet, 'Highest individual total score under 75.5' — and le Salt gets out after making 78.

Mumbai Indians are under a lot of pressure at the moment and I don't think they will be able to recover from this pressure at least in this match.
And currently, if we talk about their recover run rate then it has gone above 17. That means they need to score 111 runs off just 39 balls even though they have seven wickets in hand but I don't think there is anyone in the team who can recover this big score if Hardik Pandya gets out then in his place.
So, from one point of view, we can now say that the Mumbai Indians have lost this match.

Yeah, in Indian Primer League Punjab Kings defeated Sunrises Hydrabad by 6 wickets. Sunrises Hyderabad opens inning first with Travis Head and Abheshiek Sharma and both the openers  gives very strong start to the team and Abheshiek was incredible today and played a high class innings of 74 runs and also Travis Head played aggressively and scores 38 runs and in middle order Ishan Kishan was so good and effective  and he scores 27 runs and also Hienrich Klassen played a defensive innings of 39 runs and at the end of the innings Sunrises Hydrabad set a huge target of 220 runs. Punjab Kings opens inning with Prabhismen and Priyansh Arya and both the openers  showing their talent and class and gives a very effective start to the team while chasing the target and Priyansh played a very aggressive knock of 57 runs and also Prabhismen played a well knock of 51 runs and in middle order Shreyash Iyer was in incredible form and played a aggressive and winning knock of 69 runs and also Shashank Singh Scores 16 runs and Punjab Kings can easily chase the target and won the game by 6 wickets..

Well, it is good Marnus Labuschagne played with good strike rate and improved his game but the problem is all about Saim Ayub, whose role is opener and he should play as opener, or you can also take him one down, but this is very bad position for him to play at number four, of course he will struggle at this position too. His game is all about power hitting, and he knows how to utilize the power play, so you have to improve his game by skills, not by changing the numbers.

Mi lost too many wickets, at the end it was just 18 runs difference. Thanks to Sherfane Rutherford for some great batting at the end of the innings but it was too late when he started scroing at that rate. RCB is truly amazing again with their batting, David came and destoryed whenever they needed quick fire 30 or 40 under 20 balls.

Hardik is struggling with his captaincy that he demanded when the trade happened?

The current poor postion of Mumbai Indians is not entirely Hardik Pandya's fault, but he has some shortcomings due to which the Mumbai Indians team is not getting success. And for this, his captaincy will definitely be questioned.

But even then I will say one thing here that Mumbai Indians tried their best till the last over. Even if I say Hardik Pandya played a good role, Sherfane Rutherford played a bigger role than him in the end. I thought they would not be able to cross 200 runs but due to their aggressive performance towards the last over, Mumbai Indians were only 18 runs away.

Gujarat Titans wonderful batting display in this match winning the match by big 7 wickets margin against Lucknow Super Giants. Gujarat Titans chase down the 165 runs total with only loss of 3 wickets in 19th over of the match. After this win Gujarat Titans moved to fourth position on point table by winning two matches and lose also two matches with 4 points. Lucknow Super Giants is at fifth position on point table by winning two and losing two matches with 4 points but Gujarat Titans net runs rate is better then Lucknow Super Giants. The man of the match is Prasidh Krishna for his impressive bowling performance picking 4 crucial wickets by only giving 28 runs in this match restricted Lucknow Super Giants under 170 runs and easily get 2 points for his team.

That is why I said they lost too many wickets. When they are chasing a big target it comes with scoreboard pressure along with a huge run ate to maintain even one shutdown over from the opposition can cause the required run rate to climb over the top.

Tilak and SKY is not performing, which is one of the reasons why their batting is failing because they used to be consistent in IPL but now hardly score runs.

And I saw some interesting debates on social media about SKY, who deserves a place in Indian T20 side? I completely disagee because he just won the T20 WC.

Samson's innings came first and set up the basement for the win by Chennai Super Kings. Also, he batted throughout the innings. Jamie Overton did well, but he was called into bowl pretty late. The openers were picked up by Khaleel Ahmed and Anshul Kamboj respectively. Anyway, CSK can have a sigh of relief now. After consecutive losses, now they have a win to their name. Also, their position in the points table has slightly increased (from no.10 to no.9). And this means that Kolkata Knight Riders has been pushed to the bottom most position with just 1 point from 4 matches. 

I agree with fact that 115 runs by Sanju Samson gave the team with steadiness it needed to win and you were correct when you said that Khaleel Ahmed and Anshul Kamboj wickets in first few overs were winning moment. And CSK had gotten better to 9th spot, with very low Net Run Rate, they have much more work to do before they can even reach the next round. I think that Samson should continue this aggressive batting for rest of the matches to climb up his team in point table. After all, you are correct that CSK can now rest bit, although now whole weight falls on Kolkata in order to save their year before it is too late.

CSK team got the opportunity to bat first in which they made a target of 212 scores. The decision to bat first proved to be good for them. From their team, Sanju Samson scored 115 runs and also completed his century and remained not out. He has shown a very good performance and along with him, Ayush Mhatre also scored 59 runs with hard work but he did not succeed in completing his century. However, Ashkhane still batted with hard work and dedication for his team and further supporting him, Shivam Dube also scored 20 runs and remained not out. Their entire team has played a very good match and in comparison, DC team could score 189 runs while competing with the target and could not meet the target. From their team, Tristan Stubbs scored 60 runs and Pathum Nissanka also scored 41 runs. The players of their team have also shown a good performance but the advantage of this match is that  CSK team picked up and won the match by 23 runs. Sanju Samson was declared the Player of the Match in this match.

MI's loss has completely destroyed their net run rate. Despite chasing hard they were ultimately defeated by 18 run. Rohit's 78 run inning against KKR had given some hope. But the old struggle of the middle order in the death overs and the inability to score run are being exposed again

The biggest fear now is this loss of run rate. If such a big loss is suffered again in the future then even if they win the next 3 or 4 match it will be almost impossible to enter the top four unless they can get out of this negative run rate trap

Gujarat Titans wonderful batting display in this match winning the match by big 7 wickets margin against Lucknow Super Giants. Gujarat Titans chase down the 165 runs total with only loss of 3 wickets in 19th over of the match. After this win Gujarat Titans moved to fourth position on point table by winning two matches and lose also two matches with 4 points. Lucknow Super Giants is at fifth position on point table by winning two and losing two matches with 4 points but Gujarat Titans net runs rate is better then Lucknow Super Giants. The man of the match is Prasidh Krishna for his impressive bowling performance picking 4 crucial wickets by only giving 28 runs in this match restricted Lucknow Super Giants under 170 runs and easily get 2 points for his team.

No doubt, Gujarat Titans squad performance in bowling inning was superb and their bowlers restricted Lucknow Super Giants squad to low quality scores. In Gujrat Titans against Lucknow Super Giants squad, Lucknow Super Giants squad was started match first with batting inning and batters were managed to collect 164 scores off 20 overs inning. Ashok Sharma and Prasidh Krishna these bowlers played crucial role in victory and both picked up 4 and 2 wickets respectively and restricted Lucknow Super Giants to 164 scores. Special thanks to Jos Buttler and Shubman Gill batters who displayed his strong support and both managed strong batting partnership and collected 60 and 56 scores respectively. With 7 wickets and 8 deliveries, Gujarat Titans squad successfully emerged second victory.

Well, it is good Marnus Labuschagne played with good strike rate and improved his game but the problem is all about Saim Ayub, whose role is opener and he should play as opener, or you can also take him one down, but this is very bad position for him to play at number four, of course he will struggle at this position too. His game is all about power hitting, and he knows how to utilize the power play, so you have to improve his game by skills, not by changing the numbers.

Yesterday Glenn Maxwell also joined the team of Hyderabad Kingsmen. He totally disappointed us with his poor performance. First of all, he came to bowl as he is an all-rounder, did two overs but had 9 to 30 runs. Later on, we were expecting him with his bat, but he was struggling to hit the middle of the bat. He took 7 balls and scored just 2, then got out, back to the Pavilion. Very bad performance, but let's see what he will do in the further games of the tournament. There are still enough matches for him to justify his inclusion in the team.
