Indian Premier League #IPL Cricket

[Sithara007]

Was not expecting another magical performance by KKR but if the top order played well who knows they would have chased down the score as Nitish Rana and Rinku Singh played an incredible knock.

I was a bit skeptical when Nitish Rana was announced as the captain of Kolkata Knight Riders. But without any doubt, he has done a splendid job so far. I am still concerned about their pace bowling. Lockie Ferguson and Umesh Yadav are very experienced pacers, but they are leaking tons of runs. I don't know why they are preferring Ferguson over Tim Southee, who is a much more disciplined bowler. They can also try Kulwant Khejroliya and Harshit Rana. These two are very promising young players. And there is always the reliable Vaibhav Arora, who performed really well during last season (for the Punjab Kings).

A certain win awaits for Gujarat Titans in this match. Basically 153 runs did not seem worthy of this wicket. Moreover cricketers also thought that this match would be high scoring. Punjab Kings continuous defeats are taking the team to the bottom. It has been revealed to almost everyone that the Punjab Kings team is quite weak this season. As the result of this match is certain, everyone will have to think about the next match. Shekhar Dhawan scored normally high today if he could have made a bit of progress then we can expect a win.

One player can't carry whole team always, any team dependent on single player won't reach playoffs, if somehow they do, they will lose there in one sided match.

One player can't carry whole team always, any team dependent on single player won't reach playoffs, if somehow they do, they will lose there in one sided match.

Shikhar Dhawan is the top-scorer in this edition so far, with a total of 233 runs from 4 matches. He is being hailed by everyone as the secret behind the strong performance by Punjab Kings so far. David Warner is at second spot, with 209 runs from 4 matches. But in his case, critics are baying for his blood. I really don't understand this. Warner did what he could. He steadied the innings and scored runs, although he was a bit slow (not super-slow though). A lot of people are saying that Warner is the reason why DC is losing matches. I don't agree with that argument.

I don't know for sure but had DC been a better team, Warner would automatically play aggressive than his current defensive play. Having players behind you to take care of innings makes you fearless.

I want to see how much Delhi team scores if Warner is out early. Axar Patel's last quick fifty was nice but to me it appeared luck rather than skill.

Overall KKR fan enjoyed the game I hope.

I hope so. But, Would you believe me if I said most Bangladeshi KKR Fans wanted them to lose the game? Haha, Sounds funny right? Here is why. Bangladeshi fans were expecting Liton Das to be in the squad. But, He wasn't even on the Substitutes list. He was on the bench!

Bangladesh Formar Captain Mashrafee Bin Mortaza said those teams use Bangladeshi cricketers' Social Media Fan base. Look at their Facebook page activity. It's true. They post their pictures daily on their Facebook page and don't even include them in the playing squad. IPL Teams are buying Bangladeshi Cricketers so they can get Fans from Bangladesh. Maximum Fans from Bangladesh Watch IPL Just because of their players.

The most important thing is that the team management will do what they think is the best. It does not matter which country players are included in the game or not. If a player plays well then he would be kept in the playing squad but it is very difficult for a Bangladeshi player to get that opportunity. Because foreign players are generally limited. So competition is normally high. Team managers usually want to include the best performers. Although some players from Bangladesh get the opportunity to play regularly. You may be right. Because the people of each country may have a sympathy towards themselves.

It is difficult for Bangladeshi players to perform regularly in IPL. Especially for Bangladeshi batsmen. Because they are batting very slowly. And we see high scores in every match of IPL. Slow batting is very risky here. However, Kolkata will not suffer if Liton Das is added to their squad. In the last few T20 matches we have seen great batting from Lytton. He scored big and batted at a strike rate of over 150. Kolkata could have offered Liton as a replacement for Rahmanullah Gurbaz. I think Liton Das is a better option for Kolkata than Rahmanullah Gurbaz. Even in the last match, Rahmanullah Gurbaz did not play well. He returned to the dressing room without collecting any runs in 3 balls.

I want to see how much Delhi team scores if Warner is out early. Axar Patel's last quick fifty was nice but to me it appeared luck rather than skill.

I would be really surprised if they make a total of more than 150 after Warner getting out cheaply. Apart from Warner, none of the other batsmen have been scoring runs for the Delhi Capitals. Prithvi Shaw have been a huge disappointment so far, and Manish Pandey hasn't done any good either. Yash Dhull and Aman Khan are too inexperienced to make any significant contributions. Axar Patel had one half century to his name and it was mostly due to luck. And despite all this, it is David Warner who has been getting the brickbats.

20th Match has started today in Indian Premier League. Delhi Capitals won the toss and decided to bowl. Royal Challengers Bangalore now come to bat. Scored 47 runs in 6 overs. Royal Challengers Bangalore have lost 1 wicket so far. Faf du Plessis 16  22 runs off the ball. Virat Kohli looks like he will bat well today. Virat Kohli scored 22 runs off 19 balls. If Royal Challengers Bangalore can score 180 runs today, they will have a chance to win.

I wouldn't be surprised if Delhi wins against Bengaluru today. I would even say that Delhi has a chance to win today. Bengaluru set a target of 175 runs today. I wouldn't call it a very big target. I say that Delhi has a chance to win because Bengaluru's bowling line-up is not very strong. They are not doing well this season. However, Delhi has a lot of talented batsmen in its squad. But they did not play well in the previous matches. Hope they play well today. Delhi needs to score around 9 runs per over to win.

[Sithara007]

Warner has once again started slowly. Delhi Capitals are in trouble. They are 1/1 after 1 over, chasing a target of 175. Prithvi Shaw got out cheaply once more, this time to a direct hit from Anuj Rawat. The two opening bowlers for Royal Challengers Bangalore (Mohammed Siraj and Wayne Parnell) are right on the spot and they are not giving any breathing space for DC. Mitchell Marsh has come to the crease, to join David Warner. He maybe having the task with him to go after big hits, as Warner is likely to dig in and play cautiously.

Edit: Mitchell Marsh is out, wicket taken by Wayne Parnell. Delhi Capitals in deep shit, and they are 1/2 after 1.4 overs. Game all but over for DC. 

[libert19]

lol, dc gone again, yet to win their 1st match even. Even commentators are roasting Delhi team, "getting hammered each week than having a close game". They desperately need team overhaul.

If Royal Challengers Bangalore can score 180 runs today, they will have a chance to win.

Royal Challengers Bangalore batted first in the match and set a target of 174 runs in 20 overs. I thought in this match maybe Delhi Capitals will lose by 10 to 12 runs. But Delhi Capitals lost the match by 23 runs. Delhi Capitals did not bowl very well which is why so much.  Royal Challengers Bangalore scored. In the game, I saw Kohli batting very well today. Kohli got out with 50 runs in 34 balls.

Royal challenge Bangalore tram batting line up is very strong. every batsmen has capabilities of fast scoring. Kohli is top class with consistency. Du plesis is also dangerous SA palyer and best for t20 format. Maxwell is another one which can hit any bowler. In latest game Delhi capital also batted well but their wicket fall soon. The margin was not big , if they had wickets in hand than it might be tough competition.

[teosanru]

I am feeling that PBKS might again miss it after going so close to the win. If you see history of Punjab, this has been a routine for them. They lose winning matches and therefore eventually end up in middle of the table with just 1-2 wins away from the playoffs. This is the reason they also don't have a very good NRR. I don't if it's the franchise curse, bad team management or just coincidence.

Defiantly, Royal Challengers Bangalore have a strong batting line-up if they set on the pitch and leveling any score is not a difficult task. Kohli du Plessis and Maxwell either have the ability to change the match. But their bowling line-up is not very good. Due to which we often see this team losing. So far this season they have played 4 matches out of which they have won 2 of them. They are now in the 7th position in the points table.

20th Match has started today in Indian Premier League. Delhi Capitals won the toss and decided to bowl. Royal Challengers Bangalore now come to bat.

So disappointing moment for Delhi Capitals because it's consecutive 5th lose for them in Current Season of IPL. I think captain player an important role in the performance of his team and due to absence of Rishabh Pant I think the player didn't feel confident which cost them Soo many defeat. While on the other hand a big hand of applause for Royal Challenger because after two consecutive defeats they had come to won the game, Virat the inform boy again scored magnificent half century for his team which help them to chase the required target..

I totally agree that the Royal Challengers Bangalore have a very powerful batting lineup with some incredible players like Kohli Du Plesis and Maxwell who can turn the tide of the match in a matter of minutes. But I also think that each squad has its own advantages and disadvantages so it is crucial to respect every rival. While the Delhi Capitals may have lost some early wicket in their most recent match they still have some outstanding player like Warner and Marsh are capable of making significant contribution I am looking forward to watching some amazing cricket action in the upcoming competition.

Delhi is losing every match due to the bad performance of the batsmen. There is no way to blame Delhi's bowlers for their defeat in today's match. Bengaluru collected 174 runs. And 174 runs on such a pitch in IPL was not a big target. Even then the Delhi team could not win. The performance of the top-order players was very poor. Warner did not bat slowly today. So his innings stopped at just 19 runs. Mitchell Marsh, Prithvi Shaw, and Yash Dhull top order batsmen totaled 1 run. If Delhi batsmen batted with some responsibility in today's match they could have got the first win.

The team isn't good at chasing targets. Based on the performance till date, Delhi Capitals could win a target around 150 runs, beyond that the team isn't prepared. Because from the very first match what it have scored while chasing as well as batting first are 143, 163, 142, 172 and 151 runs. In today's match it is completely the batting line-up failure, if not Delhi Capitals would've recorded its first win. Losing three consecutive and important wickets is truly bad. That too at the start of the innings, One thing to be appreciated, even after such scenario somehow the team managed to reach 151 runs. Atleast in its next match against KKR it needs to correct the mistakes and record its first win to start its position on the points table.
