Coming to today's matches, I am expecting CSK to break RCB's streak

They were looking really good but Harshal Patel took out Faf and Raina on consecutive deliveries, this did some damage to momentum and might restrict their total under 160-170. At one point they were heading towards 200.

Uffff Jadeja

20th over and 3 back to back sixes!!!

Coming to today's matches, I am expecting CSK to break RCB's streak and SRH to win against Delhi.

RCB looks to be in such terrific form, and it will be very difficult for CSK to beat them. But at the same time, I have to admit that CSK looks like a team reborn. Anyone remember their condition during the last year's tournament (at least during the first half)? The addition of Raina has made a huge difference, on top of good performances by du Plessis and Chahar. For the second match, I agree. Delhi just looks hapless. I won't be surprised if they get the wooden spoon this time.

The bits and pieces player scored 37 freaking runs in the final over. He grabbed a couple of wickets too and managed a run-out. This guy deserves to be the number one all-rounder in the T-20 format currently in my opinion.

Looks like you were wrong. This is the IPL where teams in amazing form collapse like a pack of cards. Didn't expect CSK to thrash them so badly though. CSK's NRR skyrocketed.

Looks like I will get some points from the SRH vs DC match. I knew it, since I saw Kedar Jadhav in the SRH playing XI. This guy was very instrumental in CSK's poor form last season, and now he will pass the curse to SRH. And he didn't disappointed me. Mid-way through the innings he dropped an easy catch from Rishabh Pant (who went on to make 37 from 27 balls). BTW, happy to see two consecutive good performances from Steve Smith.

Hehe dead weight Jadhav, there is a reason CSK released him and SRH preferred him over Samad, serves them well tonight lol.

Feeling bad for Kane Williamson tho, it was excellent effort but middle order failed one more time. I had some doubts before but now i'm convinced that Shankar is shitty batsman.

Hahah I can really remember now that Shankar has done thing thing many many times even a couple of times for India too. I think he should re introspect himself as a lower order batsmen, the team knows it that's why they sent him after Rashid but looks like now he'll be coming after Suchit too. I think the only thing that made a difference here was that one short run of David Warner otherwise the match would have still been alive. But yes Kane tried his best. Not sending Bairstow with Kane was a foolish choice by Warner he just made 3 runs of 4 balls he played in super over.

I had a good start in this round but then I forgot to pick the rest of the matches. The default pick is no more for me so I got zero points in last three matches LOL.

For the next few matches my picks are: KKR, RCB, CSK, RR, DC.

Al random 🤣

It was nice to see the tie match. I don't know why Williamson is not regular in SRH team. Is there something to do with Australia vs New Zealand ego?

They need someone who can build a partnership. Samad is good for short bursts, but he is not suitable for middle overs. And Vijay Shankar is of zero use. He is neither suitable for middle overs, nor for the depth overs. Mohammad Nabi was given a chance earlier, but he failed. Manish Pandey and Jason Roy are more suitable for the top order and not for the middle order. So for now, I guess their middle order woes are going to persist for some time.

[Haunebu]

Vijay Shankar has improved his bowling while his batting still sucks as usual. They need to replace Virat singh with Pandey for obvious reasons. SRH is over-dependent on their foreign players in the batting department.

This one flaw has been haunting them for the last couple of years. They shouldn't have released Dhawan. Also, I have no idea why Bairstow didn't play in the super-over.

Nah, there is no rift among Aussie and Kiwis players. Its just that at start Williamson was not match fit and team can include only 4 foreign players in the squad. Additionally SRH was flirting with the all rounders.

They already have Warner and Bairstow to pop up the batting. Then Rashid is sort of regular as far as the spin bowing slot is concerned. That leaves only one slot that is open. They tried Mohammad Nabi and Jason Holder, who are all rounders. These two didn't performed up to the mark, so in the end they decided to consider Williamson for the fourth overseas player slot. I am sure that now they will be regretting about their decision to drop him for the first few matches.

Today I have selected KKR. KKR decided to bowl after winning the toss. So far they seem to have succeeded. PBKS gave a target of 124 runs in 20 overs. KKR should win today's match very easily. If the batting disaster does not happen then KKR will win very easily.

I had KKR but half an hour before the match to start I changed mind. Now it seems I went with a wrong team :-D After a long time I watched a one-day style match. Was it too hard to get the bat ball together?

At first, I've selected KXI too but after the toss, I changed it quickly and gave KKR, Now I've noticed it remains unchanged due to my network problem, my bad luck.

I have no regret LOL
Missed last three matches to pick a result and earned no point but no chance any more. I am happy that I found the right team for today's match. The way Punjab were batting it was like they had the team meeting of not scoring much run and test their bowling unit. The bowling unit failed 🤣

Even with such a small target, KKR really struggled. Fortunately for them, Eoin Morgan got his first half-century of this edition of the IPL and in the end they managed to get full points for the game. The KKR bowlers are in good form, but Pat Cummins is leaking too many runs towards the end of the innings. And as far as the batting is concerned, Shubman Gill failed once again. Now he has just one 30 plus score from 5 innings. Nitish Rana also seems to be in poor form.

[Haunebu]

Bet on RCB against DC. ABD was amazing as usual. Looks like RCB need to bowl really well if they want to win this one since this seems like a batting pitch currently.

You forgot Krishna. Both Krishna and Cummins got screwed by Jordan towards the end. Narine is bowling well, but he is batting poorly just like majority of the KKR batsmen. Tripathi seems like the only consistent batsman currently.

You won! It was too close. Pant was struggling to hit the balls harder than Hetmyer and RCB took a chance on him. It worked. Poor Pant was able to take 8 runs from the last 3 balls where they needed 10 runs to win.

Both Pant and Hetmyer were looking too exhausted after giving their THE BEST.

Captaincy pressure clearly showing on Pant's batting. He's known for his aggressiveness but nowadays its missing whenever he comes to bat. Hetmeyer was striking really good, could have been different result if he was on the strike instead of Pant.

Barely won. Siraj almost messed up big time in the final over if the penultimate ball would have been a no ball. Also, Hetmyer would have been dismissed earlier if DDP didn't put down his catch.

True. Can't blame Pant since he scored valuable runs when they looked like they were collapsing completely. That final over by Stoinis messed screwed DC royally.
