T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[virasog]

Yes, in today's match, Hyderabad Kingsmen's run capital was low, but their bowlers put Peshawar Zalmi batsmen under great pressure in the beginning. They sent four important batsmen of Peshawar Zalmi back to the dressing room within 40 runs. Later, Peshawar Zalmi came back in the match with a great partnership of 85 runs and won the glory of becoming the champion in the final match. However, if Hyderabad Kingsmen could have consistently destroyed Peshawar Zalmi's cricket, then the outcome of the match could have been different.

Hyderabad Kingsmen, they had very hard luck and hope for the next time. It could be a pure documentary where they lost games, then ultimate innings by many players and somehow made it into the finals.

After coming to this big occasion, their batsmen lost their wickets and set a low total of just 130 runs but the bowlers did not lose hope and they continued to put pressure on the opposition side, which resulted in them getting four wickets so early, but due to a lack of runs they lost the final.

[Haunebu]

LSG should have scored 250+ after that crazy start by Pooran along with Marsh, but they messed up towards the end thanks to some sloth style batting by Markram. Bumrah bowled extra after extra, but that still didn't really change anything at the end.

Was expecting anything under 230 to be a below par total and MI is cruising at the moment thanks to the super R&R combo. Good to see Rohit back and he's still got it. Pitiful Goenka.

[JSRAW]

This is belter of pitch and they are atleast 20 short or possibly 30runs. Thought scoreline would be 250-260.

Dew factor is playing as well so mumbai should cross the line despite their dodgy batting, their batting has been big let down this season. Sky almost forgot how to bat, Tilak lost his form after WC ( same for jassi).

I thought there is no point in watching the game, so I didn't but now I checked, Hardik is not playing which means we got any news about the new leadership or just the injury?

Why are they even playing Bumrah? Their season is over so let's try their bench and see if they can come up with party spoiling for others.

Bumrah is tired, looking from his body language and also very low on confidence, he definitely needs a good break or he might lose years on the internationa career, we all know how important he is for India.

It's called tactical niggle lol maybe he's actually unwell or mentally fatigue because of lack of support from senior players ( indian), who knows?

This time he got enough rest tho but happens sometimes. Pura IPL toh miss kar nhi sakta when completely fit.

[Nalain420]

Mumbai's bowlers bowled badly as usual today. Now the result of the match depends on Mumbai's batsmen. If Mumbai's batsmen can do well, they have a chance to win. Because the pitch is completely batting friendly. It is possible to win by batting against a target of 229 runs on this pitch.

Marsh-Pooran pair has collected 94 runs. They collected these 94 runs in just 34 balls. Nicholas Pooran batted very aggressively today. Pooran added 63 runs in 21 balls to the scoreboard. Marakram and Himmat singh played quite well. But if they could bat at a strike rate of around 200, LSG would have collected around 260 today.

If Mumbai does not lose wickets quickly, they have a chance to win. The two openers have started well. Mumbai's collection in 2 overs is 21. Mumbai's batsmen will have to collect an average of 11.5 runs per over to win.

Their players did not put pressure, if they had put it, the target would have been a little lower for them, owing to which they could have improved their winning. Their players have better it, their players are playing with a lot of better performance, their players are scoring runs at a lot of speed and they will soon be successful in achieving this target. I think that LSG bowlers are playing with a bad performance because MI players are scoring runs and achieving this target. MI players are playing with a lot of better performance, if they keep up their struggle, they will soon won this game. This game is important for both because both will better their strength with their respective performance and let's see which team wins this game.

yes hyderabad kingsmen turned a low scoring game into a fighting game in the start . Setting a target of only 130 runs in a final match means that the game is over before it starts but in the second innings and in the first over when they out both the openers of peshawar zalmi specially babar azam on 0 and then i think 4 wickets in powerplay that was a powerfull comeback in match by hyderabad team For a moment i feel like hyderabad would easily win but then a partnership was made by aron hardie and abdul samad they play fearlessly and pulled the match out of the hyderabad . I think hyderabad should feel very good about themslves for reaching for the final match. Hopefully they will comeback stronger next time .

They played a good game in the beginning. But they all faltered in death overs which is very disappointing. And that inning by Markram has completely ended all the momentum that was accumulated in the beginning

I was most surprised to see Mumbai Indians chasing style. They have completely ruined the opponent. Rohit and top order are shining again. This shows how dangerous they become when the entire batting lineup clicks together

I think the shaky state of Lucknow middle order will be their biggest thorn in their side this season. They will not be able to handle much in the remaining matches

[Bitcoin Smith]

It's called tactical niggle lol maybe he's actually unwell or mentally fatigue because of lack of support from senior players ( indian), who knows?

Hardik used to be on op tier when he was leading the GT, and not sure why he wanted to move to MI. Even after two years, he is still not looking like he can make the changes he wanted as a captain. There are other senior players for sure but as a captain, he may have wanted to take some calls that might affect the business.

And what happened to his attitude, he used to be like Aura farming guys and helped India to win the World Cup with his bowling, but he hesitates to bowl for MI. That is a big mystery.

MI getting their shit together and back to form is good for them and for the IPL as well.

Last one was wonderful to see. When Peshawar Zalmi was chasing small total 129 and lose 4 wickets quickly, it is very easy to panic. That would have made most of  teams lose the position but how Aaron Hardie and Abdul Samad remained calm was key to the win. It demonstrates that finals are won by those players who are able to deal with pressure.

Aaron Hardie was most certainly the hero of the match. He is definitely all-big match player. Credit as well to the bowlers to ensure that Kingsmen went only 129 at Gaddafi stadium. After such hard battle, Peshawar Zalmi deserved such nice trophy.

Hyderabad Kingsmen team showed very disappointed performance in this important match. They became overconfident and they hit blindly shors and lost wickets. They were trying to make highest runs so they were going to hitting without planning or strategy. In the final PSL match they scored just 129 runs and lost all wickets and they could play 18 overs. It was very poor performance by them. Just saim ayoub played well remaining other players could not perform well and they lost their wickets early. On the other hand Peshawar Zalmi team bowled outstanding. In this big match they showed outstanding performance. Aaron Hardie bowled outstanding, he dismissed 4 players and gave 27 runs in 4 overs. So since it was lowest and easily chase able total then they chased this total easily. In starting they lost 3 wickets early but after that they overcome the game and played with responsibility. Aaron Hardie and Abdul Samad played outstanding batting. Aaron Hardie performance was magnificent in both sides. So they perform brilliant performance in both sides and the won the tournament 2nd time with a great victory.

Mumbai's bowlers bowled badly as usual today. Now the result of the match depends on Mumbai's batsmen. If Mumbai's batsmen can do well, they have a chance to win. Because the pitch is completely batting friendly. It is possible to win by batting against a target of 229 runs on this pitch.

Since the league started, I have been seeing such a target in every match, although we cannot depend on the bowling because not every team bowling is poor and tough. Although the Mumbai Indians batsmen have achieved this target and their batsmen have increased their success with all their hard work. Their success in this match is actually surprising because the target of 228 was enough difficult, but their batsmen understood the carelessness and easily achieved this victory in 18 overs. They took this opportunity and achieved the target and could have achieved a stronger target. That is why the super giant batsmen were able to give such a target and the Mumbai Indians batsmen will achieve this target and victory.

[noormcs5]

Yes, Hyderabad Kingsmen cricket team could not make good total in this match and that was the reason they easily lose this match at the end. The performance of all players of Hyderabad Kingsmen cricket team was bad because they gave early wickets in this match but captain was looking in good form and when he was out after that there was a collapse in that team and no player could stand on the Wicket and Saim was only person who made half century for the team and they made 129 runs and all team was out in 18 over and they chased the target very easily in this match with fall of only 5 wickets in this match. That was one sided match because Hyderabad Kingsmen batting was poor in middle overs .

Farhan Yousaf who is also the captain of the Pakistan under 19 team scored the winning runs for Peshawar Zalmi, he came at the last ball of the over and surely he was looking for a boundary but the ball was out of his range which is why there was crossing due to the end of the over. On the next over, the second batsman takes the single and allows Farhan Yousaf to show his game. He smashed a four on the back side. There was a chance for the keeper to catch the ball, but of course, Hyderabad Kingsmen also gave up till that time.

[virasog]

On the second over of the second innings, Akif Javed came and he was actually looking for the Leg before wickets but Hardie was facing him and he was playing really classical shots, in fact flick shorts and he had back to back three overs which was so good for Zalmi to make the come back in the game because in the first over Muhammad Ali worked so good with two wickets. It was a superb final.

Akif Javed did his four overs continually and that was so good because the game was not to take the Zalmi to play the 20 overs, the game was to take wickets since they got many wickets in the power play, not many wickets. Those were very important and big wickets much needed. And what I like about Akif Javed is that he does smart bowling, he used to go according to the field set and if the batsman is not making mistakes he forces the batsmen to make mistakes, and that is all his beauty.

The absence of Hardick Pandya seems to have helped Mumbai Indians. In his absence, it was Suryakumar Yadav who captained the side. Haridick was apparently suffering from back spasms and there is a chance that he will miss a few more matches. But these late wins are not going to help them much. As of now, they have just 3 wins to their name from 10 matches, for a total of 6 points. They are at the 9th position in the table, with only Lucknow Super Giants behind them. LSG's case is also similar. They are suffering due to the poor form of their captain (Rishabh Pant).

LSG's case is also similar. They are suffering due to the poor form of their captain (Rishabh Pant).

I think that analogy to LSG is engaging, however, cause of problem is different. At same time MI is grappling with problem of consistency and injury management, LSG is endeavoring to handle top heavy cost. When captain and important anchor such as Rishabh Pant should lose their form, then tactical vacuum is created which cannot be filled by rest of squad. At this point in this tournament these teams are not playing opponents, they are playing mathematical annihilation. Even when we do not witness  utter failure of top four, MI and LSG are, in reality, only playing to preserve their pride, and in bid to avoid wooden spoon.

[Haunebu]

As expected, MI dragged LSG out of the playoffs race along with themselves thanks to Rohit returning and performing really well though it was too little too late. MI management need to grow a pair and appoint a better captain next season since Hardik is a shit captain.

I don't like Sky as a captain, but even he is better than Hardik in that area. Anyway, DC vs CSK is a big one since these 2 points will probably decide whether they remain in the race or not. My bet is on DC.

The 47th game between Mumbai Indians and LSG is very interesting because Mumbai chase the huge target of two hundred plus runs and won this battle. LSG opens innings first and Mitchell Marsh was so aggressive in this game and also in middle order Nicholas Pooran was in brilliant batting form and played a very unique and fastest knock of sixety plus runs and LSG set the huge target of two twenty nine runs at the ends of the innings. Mumbai Indian openers comes with full mindset of chasing the target and starts the innings with the pure power hitting and sledging and this plan completely works and Ryan and Rohit both batters was so amazing and in middle order with the little efforts of Naman Dhir Mumbai chase the target but currently both teams lying at last position in point table.

[Rustam Meraj]

I don't like Sky as a captain, but even he is better than Hardik in that area. Anyway, DC vs CSK is a big one since these 2 points will probably decide whether they remain in the race or not. My bet is on DC.

Management in Mumbai Indians certainly jumbled up chemistry of team this year. Although Rohit demonstrated his class in later games, it was too late when he created slump in middle of the season. Captaincy by Hardik was not culture that provides emotional attachment to players as it is in MI culture, and you can notice that in field. Unless they rectify leadership problem in near future, they may lose their star players in next mega auction.

In case of DC vs CSK game, it will be nerve pinching game. Although all of them tend to bet on His experience during such situations, DC is on roll at moment. In case DC employs his spinners in middle overs successfully, CSK may not be able to score big total. It is wild guess, yet DC as underdogs are dangerous.

This match was played between the team of LSG or MI in which the team of LSG batted first and made a very good target in terms of overs, which is 228 scores. Their team has shown its very good performance, due to which they have been able to make such a good score. Nicholas Pooran from their team has scored 63 runs, along with this the rest of the players have also performed well. Their opponent team which is MI has scored 229 runs from the target. They have proven themselves even stronger. From their team, Rohit Sharma has scored 84 runs He has also played a good game by bonding with his players. He has also kept his bowling strong. Corbin Bosch is a good thing to stopped the score with his good bowling

Nicholas Pooran ended up with a strike rate of 300. And his team still lost the match. And this tells how badly the other players performed for the Lucknow Super Giants. Himmat Singh at no.7 and Aiden Markram at no.5 were the main culprits why LSG ended up with a total of less than 240. When these two joined at the crease, the total was 160/5 after 12.1 overs. Himmat kept most of the strike with himself, and in the next 8 overs, they scored just 68 runs. On the outside it doesn't look bad. But considering that they were scoring at almost 14 runs per over, you will realize the horrible job that these two did.

It's called tactical niggle lol maybe he's actually unwell or mentally fatigue because of lack of support from senior players ( indian), who knows?

MI getting their shit together and back to form is good for them and for the IPL as well.

There's no comparison between GT and MI as franchise. The latter will mog the former any day in terms of popularity and overall impact like bigger media deals, more fame etc, MI has a legacy and players actually wants to be a part of it so captaincy gig is enticing.

Aura farming happens when you are performing and winning as team.

[Jaweria parveen]

Farhan Yousaf who is also the captain of the Pakistan under 19 team scored the winning runs for Peshawar Zalmi, he came at the last ball of the over and surely he was looking for a boundary but the ball was out of his range which is why there was crossing due to the end of the over. On the next over, the second batsman takes the single and allows Farhan Yousaf to show his game. He smashed a four on the back side. There was a chance for the keeper to catch the ball, but of course, Hyderabad Kingsmen also gave up till that time.

I do not consider him to be the super player for this win because PZ had 5 wickets and only 5 overs and the few runs that were 4 could have been scored by any player. In fact, the important players who played with intelligence and brilliant for the team's wins are Samad and Hardie. Their improvement and intelligence made their win streak. This player did not give much trouble in the last time, thanks to them, but the ones whose performing and celebration are the ones I have mentioned and Farhan Yousuf performing in the U-19 was nice and trying, so he added 4 runs for the wins in the last trophy game, which came to his share. In this way, his performing and game can be exchanged because the try that Samad and Hardie have done has not been done by any other player.
