T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Alex077]

If Delhi Capitals had won yesterday's match, Delhi's position in the points table could have been better.

Even if they had won yesterday their situation would not have improved much. Because their net run rate alone is a mess. When the point are equal this run rate is the last hope. And Delhi's run rate this season is heading towards the abyss.
And what you said about their team combination is they ahead of everyone else? That sounded a little too positive. To be honest they are still surviving just by relying on individual parformance like Axar, Miller. As a team they have not been able to do anything good alone.

But today's win is quite good, I have to admit.

The game between RCB and Mumbai Indians was very important for RCB to qualify for Play off and what a suspenseful game that is and its ends with the remarkable victory of RCB. Mumbai Indians opens innings first but the openers don't gives the required positive start to the team and in middle order Tilak Verma was so impressive and put a impactful half century for the team and also Naman Dhir was so brilliant in this game and Mumbai Indians set a good target of one sixty plus runs on a bowling pitch.

RCB batters knows the importance of this game and among the openers Jacob Bethel played a aggressive innings for the team but in middle order RCB batters seems to be struggled against MI bowlers but in this panic situations Krunal Pandya leads the batting order and put a memorable knock of seventy plus runs and this fight of chase ends at the last ball of the innings and RCB successfully chase this target qualify for play off in the Indian Premier League.

166 runs and seven players out, this is what is happening. Their team of Mumbai Indians has set this target and maybe they were thinking that they will win this match with this target, but this was their misunderstanding. They went because Royal Challengers Bengaluru was playing against them and they also tried their best to complete this target quickly, but they also faced a lot of difficulty in the beginning and in the end, but one of them was such a player who scored 73 runs and from here I got a foundation again, due to which their target was completed in the last ball and this match was won by RCB team and eight of their players were also out. If we talk about Mumbai Indians, if they had shown a little more toughness in bowling, then perhaps this match could have been theirs, but nothing like that happened.

PBKS scored 210 runs for the loss of 5 wickets against DC today, although they could not increase their runs much in this match. Although the chances of PBKS team winning today's match against DC are high, we can already see that they are in fourth place in the IPL points table. PBKS lost one match and had to come from first position in the points table to fourth position, in that case, if they win today's match against DC, their position will improve. Moreover, pbks team is in much better form compared to DC and they have good batting performance and bowling performance, in that case, DC team will easily keep their income. And if DC team can put pressure on the team in the beginning, then PBKS will be able to win this match easily.

The game between Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings is rally entertaining and intersting and full aggressive innings seen by both sides and Delhi Capitals defeated Punjab Kings in this game. Punjab Kings opens innings first and in top order Priyansh Arya was in brilliant form and played a aggressive knock by putting memorable half century and in middle order Shryash Iyer was so impressive and he played a mature knock to lead the scores more than two hundred runs and at the end of the innings Punjab Kings set a huge target for Capitals.
Delhi Capitals batters are mature and have the ability to chase this target but the order is fail to put the great start to the team but in middle order Axer Patel and David Miller was so impactful and both the players showing there experiences and prove there skills by putting fifties and Delhi Capitals easily chase this target and won the game and after this defeat Punjab still qualify for play off.

Every match of the IpL is a very interesting and competitive game. The team that has more chances at the beginning loses.Something similar happened in today game.I thought that PK would winninh this game because they were bowling very well at the beginning but in the end DC changed the course of the game and won the match.PK has also fallen behind the rest of the teams with this defeat.They could not maintain their winning streak.As the final is approaching PK is making mistakes in their performance which is not better.If they want to get back to their place they need to work hard otherwise they will be left behind.

Although Delhi won yesterday, they have almost no chance of qualifying for the playoffs. BTW, they have lost 3 out of the 5 matches they played recently. There are multiple factors behind their poor performance. Axar Patel as the captain didn't worked for them, and his tactics were outdated. Young players such as Sameer Rizvi performed well in one or two matches, but then their form dipped. The biggest issue was with the bowlers. Mitchell Starc joined them quite late, and that disrupted their plans. Out of the 11 matches played so far, Starc was only available for 4 matches.

Pakistan Women vs Zimbabwe Women 1st T-20I

The ODI series between ZIMW and PAKW is over and the T-20I series will start from today. ZIMW performed very badly in the ODI series and got whitewashed. However, Pakistan women are much ahead of Zimbabwe women in the T20 format as well, so PAKW will be the favourites in this series as well. Zimbabwe women's batting line was very bad in the ODI series so they should improve their batting line in this series. I won't be surprised if ZIMW gets whitewashed in this series too. We are probably going to see a one-sided match again, let's see how well ZIMW can do.

Mitch Starc in IPL has never been effective anyhow to my knowledge. We haven't seen Chameera this season bowl so far, have we? I hope to see him in remaining matches.

As for today, we have SRH vs GT and this match-up I am excited for — I wouldn't have thought I would be excited for GT matchup but looking at their performance in last few games, I am.

FWIW, my casino issue has been solved, and now we gonna bet again, my bet is going to be on GT today.

[Haunebu]

One of the most anticipated matches of this season incoming : GT vs SRH in Ahmedabad. As a SRH fan myself, I am backing Hyderabad in this encounter primarily due to their all round improvement which is greater than GT's all round improvement IMO.

Sad to see my 2nd favorite team(Punjab) struggling, but I am confident that they will bounce back somehow in their remaining matches. Just a couple more matches for the playoffs. Excited!

Pakistan Women vs Zimbabwe Women 1st T-20I

Pakistan Women played really well in the ODI series. I hope they will continue good performance in the T20I series and will win this series too. They have three matches series in Karachi. Pakistan has home advantage. How Zimbabwe Women played in the ODI series I am sure that Pakistan Women will easily win this match and also the series. Let's see how Fatima Sana will manage the team and how will she perform in match.

SRH is looking impressive at the start; at the end of 4 overs, 21 for 1 is giving them a good advantage. Praful Hinge gives an early breakthrough this brings GT under pressure. Now their batsmen are looking uncomfortable. Pat Cummins and Nitesh Reddy have good starts to their bowling spells as well.

Yesterday PBKS extended their losing streak to 4. This is going to be a problem for them with the Rajasthan Royals also not having a good time, thus giving CSK a chance for a spot in the top four. Currently talking about any team for a playoff spot is not easy, as things are looking not easy for prediction. A few teams have declined in performance in the last few matches. This brings interesting change at the top.

[libert19]

SRH having tight grip over GT at the moment. Sudarshan looked good with first few shots, Gill looked nervous and got out soon enough, Buttler kept trying weird shots and out as well and now GT in shambles. Another opportunity for GT middle order to do smth tho.

Edit: Love Sindhu's intent. Otherwise, players often go into shell after losing early wickets.

Edit: Sai blew up his wicket. And I don't understand GT, in 17th over they are doing tuk-tuk despite having wickets in hand.

Finally, back to the usual routine, hope I don't miss any more matches. A week back, it looked like we already got our teams for the playoffs, with huge gap between the bottom and top teams but now, after a week, almost everyone is in the race for the playoffs. RR and PBKS sliding at the business end made the tournament pretty exciting.

SAI's consistency is great but he should have grabbed the opportunity when he was given chances to play for test match, I doubt even with 500 or 600 runs, he is no where near the race for T20 side.

Don't think Sai should be bothering with T20I in first place, he looks a fine player for ODI/Test.


GT puts 168 total, don't think it's gonna be enough, just bit more about 180 runs would have given 'em a fighting a chance. But, let's see.

Siraj sent back Travis Head in the first over while SRH was chasing 169 runs and then Rabada removed  Abhishake Sharma. Now Ishan Kishan is on the crease with Smaran in this stiff chase, target is not looking easy.

I have wagered on SRH today by believing into their stronger batting line up but it seems now they are struggling against quality pace attack from Siraj and Rabada. I still believe SRH would be the one of the team to be qualifying for playoff this year without any big calculations in net run rate.

Pakistan Women vs Zimbabwe Women 1st T-20I

The ODI series between ZIMW and PAKW is over and the T-20I series will start from today. ZIMW performed very badly in the ODI series and got whitewashed. However, Pakistan women are much ahead of Zimbabwe women in the T20 format as well, so PAKW will be the favourites in this series as well. Zimbabwe women's batting line was very bad in the ODI series so they should improve their batting line in this series. I won't be surprised if ZIMW gets whitewashed in this series too. We are probably going to see a one-sided match again, let's see how well ZIMW can do.

Pak W cricket team did great job in this match because they made 237 score in this match which is big target in this match and opponent team is looking under pressure because they have to give their 200 percent effort to win this match but they will not win this match because Pakistan Women cricket team bowling is very strong and they will not do bad bowling in this match. Zimbabwe Women team lose their first which at the start of second inning and there are bad baters in this match. Ayesha Zafar became prominent player in this match because she made century in this match which played crutial role in this match.  Ayesha Zafar played with strike rate of 217 in this match which is not bad against that Kind of team. Zimbabwe Women team is losing back to back wickets.

Siraj took a wicket-maiden at first over

The pitch is probably not batting friendly. Gujarat batted slowly from the start of the innings. Although they did not lose wickets quickly, they did not bat very aggressively. As a result, the team scored 168 runs for the loss of only 5 wickets. Sai Sudarsan played an innings of 61 runs from 44 balls and Washington Sundar scored exactly 50 runs from 33 balls.

The target is not very big. Still, looking at the condition of the pitch, I think Gujarat has a high chance of winning. If the bowlers can do their job properly, they will win.Q

Hyderabad managed to score 30 runs at the end of 5 overs. But they have already lost three very important wickets in Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma and Ishan Kishan. In this situation, the road to victory in the match has become more difficult for Hyderabad.

Here I agree Sai is not a T20 material, he is set to have good chances in ODI/Test. This could be good for him, but he needs to be consistent if he needs to stay in this line up as well because now the competition is the toughest, with new blood having enough skills to take over quickly with their performance and consistency.

Yeah, virtually no chance as t-20 opener. For him to get chance in national BCCI have to ban atleast 3-4 players first lol. In odi as well he'll be down on pecking order. Jaiswal still waiting for an opener spot because of Rohit. In test, gauti might give him a long rope.

What happened to SRH, thought it was an easy 2 points.

He is an ideal test player, someone like KL who is technically strong, so long rope and exposure to different conditions will be a learning curve for him and he is capable of adjusting to the trend even with his limitations so for the test he is still on.

SRH traumatized today, thought it was an easy match to seal top 2 position but they messed up badly and also their NRR is down. Who thought that GT will be at the top of the table?

This match is also still being played between GT or SRH, in which first the GT team got the opportunity to bat and they have set a target of 168 in this match, which is not difficult to achieve, now it is up to the next team to see how they achieve it. From the GT team, Sai Sudharsan has scored 61, apart from this, another player has completed his half-century, which is good for his team. Now the SRH team has continued their batting, they have scored 59 in 10 overs so far. This match seems difficult for them to win because they have to score a big score in very few balls.  If they hit fours and sixes then it can be done. They will have to strengthen their batting because the competition is very tough. Almost all the players in their team have scored very low scores. They need to score more to win this match. They still need 102 off 51 balls, which seems to be a bit difficult to achieve. They will have to keep themselves strong. Now let's see whose side this match will go to.
