Bitcointalk IPL Prediction Pool & Discussion

[Little Mouse]

Both Rishabh Pant and Dinesh Karthik disappointed the fans today. The selectors will be even more confused now about the extra wicket keeper slot in the world cup squad (I would go with Rishabh Pant, although he didn't scored any half centuries during the last 7 IPL matches).

For world cup? There's no other choice than Dhoni. He is still the best keeper for team India and no one can replace him for now. Rishabh Pant is a good player, no doubt but he is still not fit for playing world cup. I think it's an advantage for team India for having player like Dhoni.

I chose SRH too. At present, DC are playing admirably and I think that they might post a total close to 180 if Pant and Shreyas continue to play the way that they are playing. SRH need to bat brilliantly if they want to win this one!

Shreyas gone by the bouncer delivery from B Kumar.

I think DC will score 160+ runs. Chasing 160+ runs should not be very challenging for SRH. The team has the betting strength unless they lose quick wickets.

Ahmed took some wickets but his economy is not good. He is doing his last over and I hope he does not give much run in this over.

Edit: A full toss ball but Pant out. Good thing for SRH. Ahmed wanted to deliver a Yorker but ended up with a full toss however getting the wicket should feel him good.

Damn. Another bet down the drain. Not my day today. SRH is depending way too heavily on Warner and Bairstow currently since no other batsman in the team has performed well till now. Awesome bowling by DC once again.

Same here mate. Lost some bucks for SRH. I thought it was an easy target and SRH will chase it smoothly but as you said if Warner and Bairstaw can't perform well, SRH is not able to score a good one.

SRH has good batsman but they couldn't perform well. Ricky Bhui, Williamson, Shankar, all of them are good. I don't know how everyone perform such poorly. I thought it would be easy win for SRH. Lost a chunk amount of money here. One of my worst bet in this IPL.

They looks weak in the middle order for now because Warner and Bairstow had good partnerships at the beginning of this season so middle order didn't got exposed much but now they are suffering when top order batsmen failed.SRH need to make some changes in the middle order if they want to finish this season with top 4.

True, their current middle order batsman aren't so good. Current squad is the best if you look at their other players. Sakib Al Hasan can be picked. SRH don't have the option to change a lot.

But only 4 foreign players are allowed to play which is big problem for them since Indians are not performing much on SRH.If a team needs to win then Indians have to step up and deliver.I don't think Sakib will have a spot on playing XI because already Nabi got out due to Williamson's back in so they have to live with the current players.

True. The Indian players in SRH are downright horrible and none of them performed consistently through out this series so far. Warner, Bairstow and Williamson are the only capable batsmen in the team currently.

No promisable middle order batsman even in the bench as well,Manish Pandey can do it but he didn't get the trust from captain to include him into playing XI from the given chances,maybe Manish Pandey and Yousuf Pathan will get a chance in the next match which they need to utilize much if they want to stay in the squad.

I don't have any faith in Pandey or Pathan. Apart from Warner, Bairstow and Williamson, the remaining batsmen seem like newbies who are learning to play in the IPL. Big improvements are required since the middle order is the primary weakness of the SRH.

It should be no brainer for anyone that why Sunrisers middle and lower order struggling here. they heavily relying on 3 Foreign batsmen and can't keep foreign allrounders in the team.

Pandey was very promising batsman when he started his International career and he used to be a very solid batsman in Domestic cricket as well, I still remember his maiden 100 against oz in Australia and he was argubly the fittest athlete in the team, even Virat use to put his name ahead of himself.

Yousuf Pathan is becoming old horse now. he can produce extraordinary inning on few matches but not regularly tbh and for rest of the new domestic batsmen, guess we need to give them some time to adjust in competitive tournaments. but Hooda's performing really bad despite his long ipl experience.

I am a fan of SRH and it's bad to see that they lost a match this way that they could have an easy win. 156 target was not that much for a T20 match.

I agree that the middle order and lower order is not performing. They are highly dependent on Bairstow and Warner when it comes to bat, especially Bairstow. When Bairstow is no more, they stop scoring. We can see it clearly from yesterday's match. After Bairstow gone they did not bat having the required rate in mind. They wasted too many balls and end result is that they has so many runs to chase that they lost wickets too quickly.
I think they lost 7 wickets in the last 15 to 16 balls. That is crazy.

Speaking the truth, I had a huge bet for SRH. I am lucky that I cashed out at the middle when they offered me some good return. I was hesitating that if I will wait till the end coz it was obvious looking that SRH was going to win it. Lucky me that I did not wait.

Today RCB vs MI in Mumbai so without a doubt MI is going to win. RCB's chance of reaching the top 4 is almost NIL but hope MI can go above Delhi with 5 won matches. RCB is totally dependent on Virat and there's no team effort to be seen. Feel bad for Virat as he deserves a better team. He should just choose another team next IPL if he got the chance.

Without a doubt? Are you some kind of perfect predictor? This is the IPL buddy. Anything can happen here. It is completely possible for RCB to qualify and lift the cup though the chances are slim.

Mumbai Indians are well set again this year and they have strong chances to qualify in my opinion.

[onrise]

Kohli got out at 8 runs and RCB put into bat first by MI are now 12/1 in 2.1 overs. RCB will now be playing more like for the pride of them self and to atleast not be in the bottom 2 of the table once the league matches are over. They really had a bad season so far inspite of having good team.

I know it's cricket and that too IPL but looking at RCB's bad performance, I don't think many would be even betting on the team when Mumbai is playing in its home ground. They have already lost their firs wicket and I feel anything below 160 is a loss for the team. Last time I predicted the same for KKR vs CSK and I predicted the score right and CSK won the match. I am supporting MI now so hope to see them win. MI will and should qualify.

As expected , I have gone for MI to win the match pre live after the toss @1.65 . I have a strong feeling they will win but I think Parthiv will play well today for RCB too.

I am also for MI however I am looking for the perfect moment to bet for them LOL Somewhere around 1.90+ odd will be satisfactory to me. The bookies are not offering good odd for MI at the moment.

I really had a bad week. So far lost a lot of money on betting since every time I am picking the wrong team.



The most hurting was yesterday's one. At some stage I was lucky to cash out my bet or I would lose a lot yesterday.

[Cloudbet]

That last round was brutal, dropped all my picks over the weekend with all the underdog victories. Can't believe KKR lost twice 

Hoping MI can come out ahead of RCB today to save at least some points, but de Villiers and Ali are building a strong partnership out there at the moment (both 50+) and the MI bowlers don't seem to be able to keep the strike rate down. Can see RCB getting at least 175+ at this rate 

Ronnie @ Cloudbet

[onrise]

MI are on full fire and now require 61 runs in 47 balls. The match should be easily chase able  from here and RCB might just lose another match in this IPL unless they bowl something magical and put pressure back on the MI from here on.
