T20 and T20I cricket prediction and discussion

[Publictalk792]

Yeah, in Indian Premier League Kolkata Knight Riders was in amazing form and what a strong come back they have tonight after winning this game from Gujarat Titans which is best team of this season. KKR opens innings first and in this game Finn Allen was in extreme aggressive form and played a very impactful knock but unfortunately miss his century and in middle order Angkrish and Cameron Green both batters completely destroyed the Gujarat's strong bowling lineup and KKR ends the innings with remarkable high total of this season. No doubt the target is very high but Gujarat Batters don't give away easily and openers was incredible in this game and both puts remarkable half centuries and gives a very authentic start and after that Butler was so impressive but the efforts of Gujart batters are useless in front of strong target given by KKR and by defending this target KKR promoted some steps up in points table.

This was indeed statement victory for Kolkata Knight Riders. When they are going to take down team like Gujarat Titans, they need game plan and in that case, KKR did not disappoint at all.
I think highlight of the match was fact that KKR managed to get over that remarkable high total. Even strong reaction by some of best bats in world like Buttler will not suffice if pressure on scoreboard is always more than 12 per over. Gujarat played well and when task is to go for that large number, then luck is important, along with talent. This victory not only adds important points to KKR tally, but it has also left clear message to all other teams in the tournament. Don't underestimate batting lineup.

KKR played very and that was very high score and was not easy to chase. Finn Allen played very well with making 93 runs on 35 balls. And his partnership with Angkrish was very good. And Angkrish made 82 runs on 44 balls. In total RRK made 247 runs whick is good target for T20 matches. Gujarat Titans played well but unfortunately they didn't chase the score. Gill was good who made 85 runs but unfortunately that was not enough. Gujarat Titans made 218 runs and KKr won by 229 runs.

Narine is easily one of the greatest spinners of all time. Dude is still bowling like a legend when even rising stars like Varun are struggling. He can even bat like a monster sometimes. Wonder how much longer he will continue playing in the IPL.

In current seam bowler group from all test playing nations, he's one of the most improved fielder and won't be exaggeration if you put him in Top 5. Miyan seriously did a hard yard on his fielding be it ground fielding or catching but sometimes even great ones drop a dolly so we should cut some slack to miyan ji.

Understandable! He improved a lot as a bowler in the T20 format, but his fielding skill is all over the place. Dude surpassed his master(Boom Boom) in this IPL season.

After the five-match losing streak now Punjab Kings are facing RCB. After winning the toss, Shreyas Iyer chose to field first.

A win could cement RCB's spot for playoffs, while Punjab Kings need to have their best back in this game because a loss could let them down after having an impressive start in this season with 6 wins.

Punjab Kings bowling is the biggest concern for them throughout this season. Their blowers need to give better performance. I have wagered on PBKS again.

From Raipur to Dharamshala, King Kohli started his inning from the end. He is always informed and has the best selection of shots around. RCB has the best possible start for this game against struggling PBKS, 32 from 20 balls, meaning now he is set and will have another big and good inning for RCB.

At the end of 8 overs, 91 Devdutt Padikkal is also set, as they already scored 70 runs on just 35 balls. They needed to stay on the crease for a few more overs because this is important for them if they are looking for 220 runs, which could give them a good chance of winning this game.

Winning toss and played later the decision was not proved to be good for Titans. Titans dropped few catches that become the cost of their loss.  Knight Riders were displayed an exceptional performance, their three players were very thrilled . Finn Allin , Raghauvanshi and Cameron Green showcased an exciting innings to the audience. Fin Allen declared as the Player of the Match contributed with 93 runs. Overall team set out highest target of the season that is 247 runs.
Gujrat Titans did their best for the chase, the duo of Sudharsan and Shabman Gill provided solid patnership. Knight Riders were highly active in the field, they gave no chance to the Titans for score. Eventually Titans lost their grip and face defeat by 29 runs.

At one point, their playoffs qualification was looking easy peasy but look at this royal mess and the struggle.
They have couple of batters after this duo but shashank is not in good touch.. eh looks tough atm.

The interesting thing is that they are under a lot of pressure and I don't think they can lift from this pressure.

Another batsman of Punjab Kings, Cooper Connolly, who tried to create a little resistance, got caught out. I think this will put more pressure on Punjab Kings.

And from this point of view, I would say that Royal Challengers Bangalore have already won this match. Because I don't think we will get two good batsmen out of the remaining 6 wickets, and then there won't be a batsman in Punjab Kings who can finish.

After the five-match losing streak now Punjab Kings are facing RCB. After winning the toss, Shreyas Iyer chose to field first.

Losing streak continues for Punjab and they have their final match against LSG, it is highly unlikely they will win that match and it is possible they will get eliminated.

A win could cement RCB's spot for playoffs, while Punjab Kings need to have their best back in this game because a loss could let them down after having an impressive start in this season with 6 wins.

RCB has cemented its place in the playoffs and if they can repeat their title winning feat, it would be incredible.

Rajasthan Royals and Sunrisers Hyderabad have two more matches. If RR wins today, they will likely qualify, since I am not expecting Punjab to produce a miracle while struggling at this stage they will probably get eliminated.

Punjab Kings have now dropped from number one to number four in the points table after losing five consecutive matches and Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings are breathing down their necks from number five and number six in the points table after playing one and two matches less to ensure the playoffs. If Punjab Kings' losing streak continues, I think it will be very difficult for Punjab Kings to ensure the playoffs.
I have observed several matches of Punjab Kings, especially the last matches. I think Punjab Kings' bowlers are not bowling well at all because their opponents are scoring more than 200 runs in every match. If their bowlers could have performed well, then at the rate the batsmen are running, I think Punjab Kings could have won one or two more matches.

This match involves the teams of KKR or GT, in which first the KKR team got the opportunity to bat, they have made a very good target in their specified overs, which includes 247 runs, along with which they have lost two wickets, which proves how strong and good their batting has been. Some of their players have helped in making this target, which shows that they have tried very well. After that, the GT team got the opportunity to bat, in which they have scored 218 runs. Shubman Gill has scored 85 runs for his team. He has shown a little negligence in his wickets, due to which his wickets have fallen. The KKR team has not missed a ball in every over, due to which they have been able to make such a big target. Both the teams have performed well in this match. If there is a lead of one team, then the KKR team has won match

RR will look to win this match, because if they lose this one, then it is the end of the season here.

RCB is looking like a complete team now, both their batting and bowling are well-balanced, especially Kohli, who came back to his prime form in the chase.

PBKS elimination should go into some kind of record of all the entire IPL.

Rajasthan Royals start was impressive, but their inconsistency is hurting them badly now. The 15th over let them down badly. Once I was expecting 220 to 240 could be good for them, but now 200 is looking not easy at the end of the 17th over, over with 174 for 6 big mess-ups.

Mitchell Starc gave up enough runs in the first two overs, but his 3rd over brought good success with 3 wickets. Ryan Parag did a good job, but after his wicket, now the Rajasthan Royals are looking down and out of the game. They already used their impact player, Shubhan Dube, and Dusan Shanaka is in. The last 3 overs completely change the match momentum. Delhi Capitals are looking to fight back while their bowlers are looking good in death overs.

[libert19]

Not sure why RR is keeping Burger out when Archer-Burger combo was phenomenal? They are shooting their own foot with some changes. Plus, Ashutosh is better than likes of Miller, Stubbs — the latter literally make a mess of what should be a simple chase. Also, I liked Parag in post match interview.

Punjab Kings have now dropped from number one to number four in the points table after losing five consecutive matches and Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings are breathing down their necks from number five and number six in the points table after playing one and two matches less to ensure the playoffs.

If their bowlers could have performed well, then at the rate the batsmen are running, I think Punjab Kings could have won one or two more matches.

Add this defeat as well and now Punjab Kings squad has suffered 6 consecutive defeats. There is now only a 1 point difference between Chennai Super Kings and Punjab Kings squad and if Chennai Super King squad wins tomorrow’s match they will surpass Punjab Kings squad in standings table. Rajasthan Royals squad and Delhi Capitals also have same points after this match and Rajasthan Royals faced defeat but match among them was very hard. Royal Rajasthan squad was started match first with batting inning and batters were managed to collect 193 scores off 20 overs inning. With 5 wickets and 4 deliveries, Delhi Capital squad emerged successful victory and Mitchell Starc played crucial role in getting victory and managed to pick up 4 significant wickets. KL Rahul and Abishek Porel batters built strong batting partnership and both collected 51 and 56 respectively.

[Bitcoin Smith]

This is probably the tightest season of all IPL editions, we just got 8 matches left in the league stage but still 8 teams are in the race for the playoffs.

Ashutosh Sharma is great, and he could be used better by DC.

RR and Punjab looked like they sealed their spots in the playoffs at the halfway stage but both teams are struggling with a series of losses.

[Compromise me]

KKR opens innings first and in this game Finn Allen was in extreme aggressive form and played a very impactful knock but unfortunately miss his century and in middle order Angkrish and Cameron Green both batters completely destroyed the Gujarat's strong bowling lineup and KKR ends the innings with remarkable high total of this season. No doubt the target is very high but Gujarat Batters don't give away easily and openers was incredible in this game and both puts remarkable half centuries and gives a very authentic start and after that Butler was so impressive but the efforts of Gujart batters are useless in front of strong target given by KKR and by defending this target KKR promoted some steps up in points table.

KKR played very and that was very high score and was not easy to chase. Finn Allen played very well with making 93 runs on 35 balls. And his partnership with Angkrish was very good. And Angkrish made 82 runs on 44 balls. In total RRK made 247 runs whick is good target for T20 matches. Gujarat Titans played well but unfortunately they didn't chase the score. Gill was good who made 85 runs but unfortunately that was not enough. Gujarat Titans made 218 runs and KKr won by 229 runs.

T20 is a game of strike rate and we saw highest strike rate in this match and players played aggressive in this match and they made a good target in this match. Finn Allen and capable to hit big sixes and he hit long sixes in this match and he hit 10 sixes in this match which is not an easy for any person to play well in this match. He played with strike rate of 265 in this match and he was a top class player of the match because he played very big inning in this match but he was unlucky because he could not make century in this match And all team score was big in this match and they won the match at the end. KKR cricket team won the match by 29 runs and their performance was great in this match and Raghuvanshi played also very well for the team.

[Haunebu]

Punjab is pulling off quite possibly the biggest upset or turnaround in IPL history sadly. They are depending on other teams results now since them winning against LSG is not enough anymore. Still crazy to think they won 6 matches and lost 6 in a row.

On the other hand, RR botched it yet again. They could have easily scored 220+, but DC pulled them back really well. All 3 are still in the race currently. SRH vs CSK incoming. Going with SRH myself.

I think Punjab Kings' bowlers are not bowling well at all because their opponents are scoring more than 200 runs in every match. If their bowlers could have performed well, then at the rate the batsmen are running, I think Punjab Kings could have won one or two more matches.

This is the result of their negligence and lack of hard work. If they had not played with a low target in these 5 matches and had been tough in bowling, their target would have become a strength even after it was reduced, but they did not pay attention to it. Initially, there were enough tough matches in this league, but now these teams do not have the strength that would have made them successful. Now only the top 4 have the opportunity to move forward, in which everyone will have to work hard and make efforts. Even if they succeed, they will not be able to do much, so it is good to defeat them, but still they have to be courageous. Because the third ranked team and theirs are equal on some points, due to which a good decision can be made between them. I also feel that it is lacking because their bowlers do not stop many runs, due to which their target becomes weaker and they are defeated.

While attacking big target like 194 in IPL match, everything should be planned perfectly and that is what Delhi Capitals did yesterday. Rajasthan Royals made decent effort in batting with score of 193 runs, but had to struggle in bowling. With score out at almost 195 runs, you will need to put early pressure on opposition's bowling unit to get them going. Middle order did fine job of keeping required run rate low and did not allow it to get too high in DC favor. Delhi Capitals have got huge boost after five wicket victory, while for Rajasthan Royals, they will have to closely look at death overs.
