T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[welovebit]

It's been a very long time watching cricket and having things about this, but sadly I've never been able to understand this DLS system or how things work; it's always a problem. Now RCB needs 213 runs in 19 overs to win this match, as rain interrupted it a few times this caused problems.
 
Under these conditions, LSG still has done good batting and has good runs on board, but RCB batting is also doing a good job throughout this season they can chase this target, but rain and overcast conditions are always vital in chases. Can they do this again and have the top spot? It's going to be interesting at Lucknow.

LOL.. Shahbaz Ahmed is the special type of allrounder who can neither bat, nor bowl. BTW, he has been playing in the Indian Premier League ever since 2020. he has a batting average of 19.31, at a strike rate of 120.68. Grand total of 560 runs from 60 matches. As far as bowling is concerned, he has an average of 43.40, and has taken 22 wickets from 60 matches. Economy rate is 9.64. I find it very difficult to believe that the Lucknow Super Giants spent huge amount of money to get him to the team. BTW, it will get interesting if overs gets cut short due to rain interruption. LSG are at 145/1. The fact that they lost only one wicket till now will put them in advantage.

I didn't know what price LSG purchased him for and apparently it's 2.4 cr, my boi deserves base price at best and that too is bit much imo.

Edit: Better players like him go unsold.

...

Is there a chance for rain? I am just tracking the score on Cricbuzz, and they said it's a slight drizzle. On a journey and network here still at 2G in hill ranges.

There was disrupting rain and play was stopped a few times.

Mukesh Ambani should install some towers here too, rather than wasting money on reviving MI.

I mean, he has already revolutionized the telecom industry. Plus, you mention 2G above but jio is 4g/5g only, wdym?

In this match of the series, which was played between Hyderabad and Punjab Kings, the Punjab team tried their best to achieve the target given by the Hyderabad team, which we cannot say less because there is a player among them who scored 107 runs, which proves that they tried their best to achieve this target but still failed because on the other hand, the target was 235 runs. If you look at it, this target is considered a very good target in 20 overs. If the Punjab team could have achieved this target but could not, this match was written in Hyderabad's favor. All their players looked quite active, such as Heinrich Klaasen. Apart from this, there are many other players whose names are mentioned in this match and who performed well in this match. If the team win the match then the credit goes to all the player so they have won this match. The hard work and dedication of all their player is included.

Next chance for the Hyderabad to rise back is only to beat Delhi Capitals so that they can have momentum back because after this chance the next question is going to be Mumbai Indians which could be an easy game too but after that they have to face RCB and other such teams so if you get these kind of back to back games when the play offs rounds are on head so it will surely down your confidence for the final rounds and also if they loses consecutive games there are some chances for them too to get out from the top four.

Let me help you understand the DLS system. For example if RCB needed 213 runs in 20 overs the required run rate at the start would be 10.7. After 2 overs RCB scored 20 runs and then rain stopped the match for 45 minutes. When the game restarted the DLS system was used because of the rain. So instead of chasing 213 in 20 overs RCB now had to chase 163 runs in 15 overs. Thats how the DLS system works  it mainly depends on the run rate . Hope you understand it now brother.

[BitDiscussion]

95 runs on 52 balls and 35 runs in the 9th and 10th overs give a big boost to RCB for having something from this game both Devdutt Padikkal and Rajat Patidar are doing a great job. Bowlers have nothing to do on this surface.

At the end of 10 overs 104 for 2, and now the requirement is 109 runs from the remaining 9 overs game can go either way, but if LSG bowlers have a breakthrough, this could be a big win for them because RCB is now feeling pressure, and they can make mistake these could be helpful for the home team.

Prince Yadav, a man with a golden arm, has the wicket of Devdutt Padikkal on his 3rd over's first ball, and now Jitesh Sharma is also gone on the 5th ball of the 11th over; it's almost the end for RCB.

Everyone knows that this match is going to be the onesided match for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru, As if we just look at the point table then we will find Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the third rank of table and the Lucknow Super Giants in the last of the point table, and this prove that the Lucknow Super Giants team is a underdog team right now so I think definately the Royal Challengers Bengaluru will going to win in this match and going to have the second position in the point table.

Before the match started, we could see that Royal Challengers Bengaluru was the favorite and could win the match and i was expecting the same, but IPL sometimes produces unexpected performance and this one from LSG is not different, Mitchell Marsh smashed a century and they put a good total on board.

I was expecting RCB to have a good start because they are chasing 209 runs, but once Kohli lost his wicket for a duck, the writing was on the wall, now RCB lost their 5th wicket and it will be a miracle if they win from this position as they still need 94 runs in 39 balls.

I mean he should install some towers here too in the hill region. My jio is out of coverage and I am travelling here in the Kerala range, and Airtel got some network but I can't use it so only option is BSNL here and bought it for emergency use.

Just meant that sarcastically, though.

Looks like RCB is going down in this game, Need 91 from just 36 balls and still Tim Davis is there so there maybe a slight chance there.

This match is being played between LSG or RCB, in which so far the LSG team has set a target of 209 runs while batting. They have kept their batting and bowling strong. Only three of their players have been dismissed. This proves how strong they have kept their batting and proved themselves to be the best. The best innings from their team was Mitchell Marsh who has scored 111 runs off very few balls, who has completed his century in a very good way. Now the RCB team is batting, who have scored 112 runs in 11 overs according to the current conditions. They are still trying to prove themselves well. Their players have also made a very strong foothold and are working hard to win. They have made a good score in less overs. Now let's see which team is successful in winning

IPL matches are usually played on batting-friendly pitches, so chasing 200-210 is not a difficult task. At the end of the first innings, I was somewhat sure that Bengaluru was going to win the match, because Bengaluru has some tough batsmen for whom a target of 210 is not a big deal, but Bengaluru lost two wickets in a row and got out of the match. Although it seemed that they would make a comeback, due to slow batting, the required run rate kept increasing. When they tried to be aggressive, they lost more wickets and ruined the chances of winning the match.

Earlier, Lucknow started batting well in the first innings. Mitchell Marsh scored a tough century for the team, but the rest of the batsmen played slowly and Lucknow failed to post a big target. Although their bowlers are trying to keep the match in their favor through excellent performance. Although the match is still uncertain, it is not surprising if unexpected events happen.

RCB is taking the match closer even after the loss if Tim Davis, they now need 21 from 7 balls.

The last over is going to be crucial, Romario Shepherd can clear the boundary if they bowler misses the line, so it is interesting who is bowling the last over.

Given the last over to Digvesh Rathi, match is really interesting.  

[libert19]

I expected RCB to cruise through this game, which they should have if it was not for Mitch Marsh's century which allowed 'em to put total they did; big Aussie rising up on occasion to keep 'em a float (I dunno, but this is what they say).

This was pressure chase losing Kohli early, albeit they lost the game but grit shown by RCB was good. Champion team!

Did anybody make bet on Lucknow on this game?

[Doll2233]

I think battle between PBKS and SRH is not about revenge, it is about making the tactical changes, in my opinion. Some of Sunrisers wins may stem from them accessing their power play bowlers but Punjab is finding it difficult of middle order outslots as they can make use of that strength. Although Aclosed over previous game, SRH has tightened up with much good tone on their approach in recent games. Generally in high pressure situation, such as this one, middle of the order scenario can go either way, and in this instance, SRH would appear to be more of hungrier side to being one to come up with magic T20 crunch moment.

Punjab Kings shown a brave and modern cricket batting against a huge target of two hundred plus runs given by Hyderabad Sunrises but Punjab Kings lost this game. Hyderabad opens innings first and the openers gives a very solid start to the team through ultra aggressive batting and in middle order Klasen was so good and showing his class and aggression of batting by putting imapactful half century and Hyderabad put the huge target of two hundred plus runs on score board. Punjab kings batters are well known to chase these targets and they doing it a couple of time in this tournament and the openers was not so impactful but in middle order Cooper Connelly played like one man army and put a remarkable century and also Marcus was so impressive but Punjab kings don't chase the target and Sunrises Hyderabad won this game and goes to on top in point table.

In this match of the series, which was played between Hyderabad and Punjab Kings, the Punjab team tried their best to achieve the target given by the Hyderabad team, which we cannot say less because there is a player among them who scored 107 runs, which proves that they tried their best to achieve this target but still failed because on the other hand, the target was 235 runs.

If the team win the match then the credit goes to all the player so they have won this match. The hard work and dedication of all their player is included.

Waht a mind blowing inning Sunrisers Hyderabad played. Very interesting and enjoyable match they played. The crowd enjoy batting like that. Abhishek sharma and Travis Head built a great partnership. They utilized power play very well. Both they built partnership of 54 runs in 21 balls. And they scored 79 runs in power play and lost 1 wicket. But henrick klaasen partnership with two players was very well. He built two partnership 1st with I kishan which was 88 in 48 balls and 2nd with Nitish kumar which was 63 runs in 32 balls. So they gave a very big total for chasing. On the other hand Punjab Kings team showed poor bowling and batting. They gave more runs and dropped catches especially klaasen's catch. They took just 4 wickets and gave 235 runs in 20 overs. And in batting side they lost 3 wickets in power play and they made 57 runs. Due to losing back to back wickets they stucked in trouble. Cooper Connolly  tried very hard to finish the match but he was trying alone so his individual inning could not prove beneficial and they lost the match by 33 runs.

Bengaluru lost by a score which was very chaseable in my opinion. Their confidence was ruined by the loss of two wicket very quickly in a row. Also they batted very slowly in middle overs, this is why their required run rate goes up unduly high. After that as soon as they tried to boost their scoreline a little, the wicket started falling one by one very quickly, what a bad situation!

And if we talk about Lucknow, their bowling was worth watching, I am talking about the death overs was very impressive. But you are right their batting collapsed like a house of card after Marsh's century. Only because of this they could not put up a bigger score, moreover their score would have been higher.

I had said earlier that every team in IPL has the ability to achieve a big target.I have seen matches with a target of up to 250 runs and the teams have performed brilliantly.If we look at today match Royal challenger Bangalore was the one who was going to achieve the target.Mitchell Marsh played a very long innings and scored 111 runs for the team, hitting 9 fours and 9 sixes.The rest of the batsmen also made a strong partnership and only lost 3 wickets. The batsmen of Royal Challenger Bangalore tried hard to defeat Lucknow Super Giant in this target but the bowlers of Lucknow Super Giant gave their team the winning.If two batsmen of Royal Challenger Bangalore had not wasted balls then this winning would have been very easy.Royal Challenger Bangalore lost wickets very quickly and have lost the match otherwise this was a very golden opportunity for Royal Challenger Bangalore to strengthen itself on the points table.

LGS and RCB both teams are very competitive and they played quite fine game. Mitchell Marsh gave impressive beginning to the game. He played an master class innings of 111 runs. But after his full century Jacob Bethell caught out this crucial wicket. While with the help of rest of the players LGS posted the target of 209 runs. It's truly high and  difficult to achieve target. But on the other side RCB also a strong team. All players of RCB's have the ability to perform under the pressure and build resistance. Although very competitive player of Virat Kohli astonished all , because he was out on zero score. It's Virat Kohli's life worst innings. Despite losing the importance openers early, team shows resistance and put all energy for the chase. Rajat Patidar was the high scorer player with 61 runs. Hence, with all effort RCB loss the match when they were very close to win . Rain interrupted the match and DLS declared the win in the favour of LGS by  9 runs.

First, PBKS team lost and now RCB team has also lost against team that is at bottom of table. If RCB had won today game, they would have moved to 2 nd rank and PBKS team would have dropped from 2 nd to 3 rd rank. Now RCB rank is 3 rd and they lost 2 games in a row. In 50 th ipl game, RCB team won toss and they elected field line first and gave batting chance to LSG team. LSG batsman gave 209 runs target in 19 overs by losing 3 wickets. Mitchell batsmen opened lineup with brilliant batting effort and made brilliant century 111 runs in 56 balls and hitted nine 4s and nine 6s. He got player of game award at end of game because of his great batting effort. Yadav helped a lot team in bowling to win game and he took down 3 wickets in 4 overs and gave 33 runs. RCB team failed to beat LSG team in batting and they lost game by 9 (DLS Method). Congratulations LSG team won 50 th game of ipl series.

In this match we can see how unpredictable DLS method is. Middle order stability of RCB after Kohli's surprise duck was key while Mitchell Marsh 111 was undoubtedly game changer for LGS. 61 runs in such pressure is indicative of Patidar being vital member of the squad.
But no more than to come up nine runs short in rain is bitter pill to swallow. It is pity that RCB did not expect any weather interference, or else they would have played different game in powerplay. But DLS can come at cost for teams that lose early wickets and unfortunately for Virat, that was even more expensive price to pay than scoreboard pressure. RCB fightback showed they do not need to be pushed around and LGS were deserving of victory with massive 200+ score.

You need to remember that Lucknow Super Giants had lost very few wickets when the rain interruption happened. And this counts while calculating the DLS par score. Arshin Kulkarni got out when the score was 95/1, and then it was 165/2 when Mitchell Marsh went back to the pavilion. That is how it works and the Royal Challengers Bengaluru can't complain about it. They should worry about their bowlers who allowed a weak team like LSG to post a 200 plus total. Rasikh Salam and Josh Hazlewood in particular were too expensive. And their fate was sealed when Virat Kohli got out for a duck.

Weak team but if you look individually at the batters who performed well, they ain't weak — Marsh, Pooran and Pant.

...And their fate was sealed when Virat Kohli got out for a duck.

IMO they did exceptionally well even if Kohli got out for duck.

DLS approach is never without controversy as it puts too much emphasis on wickets lost, and sometimes loss of wickets looks more of fault of bowlers for not imposing run rate earlier. But, in fact, problem for Bengaluru was not rain, but that they could not be disciplined in death overs. When weak batsman scores huge 200 plus score, as LSG did this time, it is obvious indication that bowling strategy is wanting.
Entire team is now heavily dependent on Kohli kind of player and I think that is becoming major drawback for them. High pressure on middle order is too difficult to take if star opener is out for duck. They cannot blame DLS calculations but should other consider reason their senior bowlers failed to deliver yorkers at crucial juncture. LSG just played more intelligent cricket by retaining wickets in shed to punch final home runs.
