T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

Looks like MI is gonna make the qualification of PBKS for playoffs harder, they are losing 5 in a row after winning all the matches, and even today, they might lose the game to MI with the way the game is progressing.

Still, the playoff qualification is wide open for the 7 teams, I guess, so every game should be exciting.

I don't think Mumbai Indians will be able to win today's match so easily. They have already lost three wickets, one of which is the wicket of one of the team's batsmen, Rohit Sharma. Today, Rohit Sharma was able to score only 25 runs in 26 balls. A lot depends on this fourth wicket partnership whether Mumbai Indians will lose or win today. However, I don't think they will be able to beat Punjab Kings today. Mumbai Indians still have to score 103 runs in 55 balls, they have a total of seven wickets, including lower-order wickets. I think Punjab Kings will move up two places in the points table by winning today.

The fight between bat and ball is really exciting because right now MI is in a better position, but they lost two wickets with Yuzi on bowling, creating problems for MI in this chase, but the partnership of Tilak Verma and Rohit Sharma is going to be crucial for both teams.

PBKS needs to fight back after losing four games. This is going to be worse for them if they have another loss because this will bring a few teams near to opting them out of the playoff race, but Yuzi has done his magic and has a wicket of Rohit Sharma. Now MI is looking in deep trouble. Last 5 balls, 7 runs, and 2 wicket - it's looking not good for MI.

Yeah, when more teams are fight hard for playoff qualification, we are guaranteed for very good cricket. I expect more high scoring games in the remaining games of this edition where I guess that I must stay away from placing any bet due to highly unpredictable upcoming games.

The game between RCB and Kolkata Knight Riders was very enjoyable and enternaing and the favorite team of audience win this game and reached at the tope in points table and this team is RCB. Kolkata Knight Riders opens innings first but the openers don't good in this game and in middle order Angkrish stable the innings with his skill full batting and played a impactful knock of seventy plus runs and also Rinko Singh was very effective in this game but unfortunately miss his half century by just one run and at the end of the inings KKR set the huge target of one nighty plus runs. RCB batters put the great start for team and especially Virat Kholi was in legendary form and put a remarkable century and proves his legacy of chasing the target and also Padikal was in aggressive form and RCB easily won this game and retain at top in point table.

Yesterday an great century from the bat of Virat Kohli and at the sametime it was much needed for him just becuase his performance in the some previous matches were average but the graph was like up and down, it is not going straight in a wanted manner but with this century on around 60 balls, surely boost his confidence for the play offs rounds and I hope in each  and every game he will serve like this to RCB. What do  you think, will another time he is about to lift the trophy but right now its  too early to say this.

All team performance was good in this match and that was a reason they easily won this match. Angkrish Raghuvanshi is emerging player because he has excellent form and he plays for the team . He made 71 runs in this match and he could make a century in this match it he would have no mistake to be  run out in this match and team made 192 runs on that pitch which was not enough in this match. The Padikkal also played well in this and all team performance was good and Virat kohli was a excellent player in this match because he made century in this match.No other player could make century in that situation and Virat kohli got a chance and his team is performing well in this tournament and they will try to win the title.

KKR now needs a miracle to qualify for the playoffs. They have 3 matches left, and even if they win all three matches, they will still be eliminated from the league. I thought KKR would win this match, which would have increased their chances of survival, but now they are just completely out of contention. There is a little bit of a chance if the mid-table teams lose all their remaining matches, then they will be back in the fight, but it is impossible for all those teams to lose all their matches in a row. The points will be 15 if they win all the matches, and I think in these 3 matches, there is a higher chance they will lose. So from now on, wash your hands of KKR, they will be gone home soon.

Punjab are seriously cursed at this point. I literally thought that they might go on a losing streak if their winning streak broke and that is exactly what happened. Excluding Chahal and Arsh(Sometimes), their bowling lineup is absolute shit.

They just cannot seem to win batting first in this season. Anyway, they clearly need to win their next 2 games implying that they are in a do or die situation. Crazy turn of events.

Cricket is a funny game.

And this shows even bowlers got the grip on the results of the game, even when they are asked to bowl on concrete pitches.

Next game also an important one for CSK to stay in the race, with injuries concern, the recent addition to their list is Overton, who really made an impact to their results, I doubt they can survive that.

Although today's IPL match was played between Mumbai Indians and Punjab Kings, Chennai Super Kings got the benefit of this game. Whereas Mumbai Indians were eliminated a long time ago, that is, if the eliminated team wins the match, Chennai Super Kings will get the benefit and Punjab Kings will be unlucky.
Chennai Super Kings will move up to fourth position in the points table if they can win their next match, and if Punjab Kings continue their losing streak, they will fail to secure a play-off spot.

[noormcs5]

If Punjab Kings lose this match as well, then I don't have any hope left for them. Stake has them as the slight favorites, at 1.75. Mumbai Indians are at 2.05. If you have such a slight margin against a shit team like Mumbai, then you can imagine how much shit you yourself are. Punjab meanwhile is on a losing spree. They have lost 4 consecutive matches till now. Shreyas Iyer's captaincy is not working anymore, and their top-order combination of Priyansh Arya-Cooper Connolly-Prabhsimran Singh is not managing to stay at the crease for extended durations. And then Iyer himself is not in good form with the bat. 

Back to back losses for Punjab Kings, almost at this stage we cannot say that they are not totally out of the tournament but about to be.  It is their blessing that so far they are still on the number forth but for some time, in the next some days they are about to lose their position for sure because on the number fifth there is Chennai Super Kings on 12 points while on number 6th there is Rajasthan Royals and the twist comes when you realize that both of the teams have three games remaining. So even number 2 or number 3rd is not at a safe spot too.

The Kolkata vs Bengaluru match is being played now. Kolkata has been able to continue its winning streak  in the last four matches. Kolkata has played with the aim of winning in today's match as well. The batsmen have been able to bat quite well. Kolkata has been able to collect 192 runs by losing 4 wickets. If KKR's bowlers  can do their job properly, they will win this match. Bengaluru's batting order  is quite strong. If kolkata's bowlers cannot do well in the power play, it will be very difficult to win.
Royal challengers bangalore have not  lost any wickets in 2 overs yet. And  have been able to collect 20 runs.

When Kolkata Knight Riders were on batting, they tried a lot as their opener Finn Allen scored well but he played shortly that's why in the need of more and more runs in the power play he lost his wicket and same goes for the second opener who is also the captain, this is the problem where the plan is not going so good.

At the same time the plan should not be visible to the opponent team, as you  are facing RCB who are on the top of the table, the got this position due to their game play style, firstly let the other batsmen feels motivated and finding place the slip or often not which makes the batsmen feel to play outside bowl but it results in edge and these are such tricks that batsmen should focus.

Pakistan Women vs Zimbabwe Women 2nd T20

So Finally Pakistan Women again won the match from. Zimbabwe Women. Again Pakistan took the first turn and they made 170 runs in 20 overs. And in this match real hero was Eyman Fatima who made 79 runs and Muneeba Ali also started well with 36 runs. This time middle order was little weak but 170 runs was an average target of Women cricket team. Zimbabwe Women tried well in their turn to chase the score but unfortunately they made onle 103 runs in 20 overs which definitely was not enough to win. And Pakistan easily won this match by 67 runs. And made 2-0.

Punjab Kings are rapidly becoming the laughing stock in this season of the Indian Premier League. Now they have lost 5 matches in a row, after having such an amazing start where they were at the top of the points table. As of now they are at no.4 in the points table. Today there is a match between Lucknow Super Giants and Chennai Super Kings, and in case CSK wins that one, then they will be able to overtake the Kings at the no.4 position. Kings have two more matches remaining in the group phase. Their next match is against Royal Challengers Bengaluru on 17th May, and they have one more match against the Lucknow Super Giants.

That's just life.

Loolks like Bartlett will be sitting out next match looking at his performance yesterday, so I hope Punjab will keep both Azmat and Stoinis both in playing XI. Both quality all rounders.

Also, Shashank needs be out now, I liked him as batter but he's done nothing significant so far this season.

He never looked nervous. I mean, at this stage what's there to be nervous about?

When every innings is scrutinized and when you fail, billions will dissect how to he got dismissed and getting out for consecutive ducks will create pressure on any player and if you watch the match he was relived after scoring a run in that innings and he celebrated his first run with a dramatic fist pump.

After winning the first 7 matches, personally I had a feeling that this could be their season but this is the 5th consecutive loss and the next remaining matches are against RCB and LSG and with the way they are struggling at the back end of the tournament, they could be eliminated and CSK or RR could get that spot considering how they play their next matches.

The game between Punjab Kings and Mumbai Indians is just like a thriller movie and its a very important game for Punjab kings to qualify for play off but its ends with the victory of Mumbai Indians. Punjab Kings opens innings first and openers puts ry positive start and especially Prabhsimran Sing is in amazing form and put a remarkable half century and in middle order Azmatullah Omarzai also showing his power hitting skills and Punjab kings ends the innings with the strong target of two hundred runs. Mumbai Indians openers also very effective in run chase and Ryan Rickelton was so consistent in this tournament and also tonight played a very effective knock and in middle order Tilak Verma played a historic knock of Indian Premier League and scores seventy plus runs and remains not out and ends the innings with the victory of his team.

Today both the teams will face each other again, today will be the 3rd match of the series. Since PAKW won the series by winning the first two matches, this match is not that important for them, on the other hand if ZIMW loses this match too then they will be shamefully whitewashed in both the ODI and T20 series. So to avoid getting whitewashed ZIMW will have to win this match but it will not be easy for ZIMW to win the match. Anyway, if PAKW gets the chance to bat first today then if they score 130+ then it will be enough target to win. But I think we will see a one sided match today too.

If social media is to believe then they caught the conversation between Virat and guess manish pandey (both have good camaraderie because of similar interests in fitness, he was the only guy to beat kohli in yoyo kind of tests). He said something like this to Pandey ki dekh Mera scoop shot, ab india thode hi khel raha hun, ab toh alag alag hi short marunga.

This sums up how relaxed he's feeling after retirement from T20 and tests.

I think Punjab Kings will move up two places in the points table by winning today.

From impossible to possible, all done by Tilak Verma and Will Jacks in just 20 balls, but here Tilak Verma is the real hero for MI because he did magic with his bat and punished sloppy PBKS bowlers throughout his inning. Even once I was sure MI was going to lose, but they did an impressive job and have won.
 
Marco Jansen and Xavier Bartlett have had the worst last few overs, which bring the worst for their team, PBKS, which is now on the verge of losing their spot for playoffs because now they are on a 5-match losing streak, and today's game between LSG and CSK at Lucknow can bring CSK into the top four. This could be a big gift for CSK  in this season from PBKS.

Suddenly PBKS batting and bowling both lost their balance, and things are getting worse because going from early 7 games without any losses to having a 5-match losing streak makes no sense. Their bowlers completely failed, and few players also have nothing to show. This is a big problem. Changes for the upcoming two games are essential because they still have a chance, but now they need to have a good strategy.

Today's game between LSG and CSK is also important for them. CSK can jump to 3rd spot after winning, while Rajasthan Royals also have a good chance as they are currently performing. I am expecting their streak is going to be 6 because RCB is also in good touch.
