Indian Premier League #IPL Cricket

~~~
Upcoming match between RCB and Mumbai Indians is gonna be same as finals of IPL 2023. Winner gonna qualify for the playoff.

I guess there are lot of possibilities that can happen. Mumbai can still land in Top 2 if these events happen. CSK loses their last game along with LSG loses his last game and RCB loses his last game. Then if Mumbai beat SRH in their last game, then definitely Mumbai can land in Top 2, if RCB wins their last match, and Mumbai also wins their last match, then NRR will be considered for qualification. So anything and everything is possible. But seeing the form of Virat Kohli and Duplesis, I don’t think RCB gonna lose their last game.

Among the three teams only Gujarat Titans and Sunrise Hyderabad(eliminated) and Delhi Capitals(Eliminated) have already confirmed the playoffs and nothing can be said about the other teams as anything can happen to them. If these two teams Chennai Super Kings and Lucknow Super Giants lose their next match and 5th and 6th position teams win then they will confirm the playoffs according to the points. So for the time being, it is not possible to make any definite comment about confirming the playoff stage.

Yes, since several matches are still left, nothing can be said for sure. To take the position of the playoffs, we have to rely on those matches. But one thing is certain that in the upcoming matches, the top teams in the points table are definitely not an alternative other than win their next match. In the case of RCB, the same situation is left, they must win. But there will be Gujrat Titans as opponents last match, which is in the top of the points table so it would be very difficult for them to win that particular match.

That 100 from Virat Kohli in 63 balls was amazing. I love the energy from RCB in the field. Also, we had 2 100s in a single match of IPL from both teams. I don't think this ever happened earlier.

Also, here are the playoff qualifier chances for the teams:

GT - QUALIFIED.
CSK - 44%.
LSG - 39%.
MI - 9%.
RCB - 8%.

If MI loses and RCB wins the next, they will surely qualify.

The numbers that you are providing doesn't make any sense. A total of 4 teams will feature in playoffs. Gujarat Titans have already qualified and that leaves 3 more spots. Chennai Super Kings and Lucknow Super Giants are favored to get 2 out of the 3 slots, and their chances should be >90% (but you have given less than 50% chance). I also don't agree with Mumbai and RCB. One out of these two will get the 4th slot. Therefore the chances should be somewhere between 40% and 50%. From where did you got this 9% figure for Mumbai and 44% for Chennai?

This is what I got:

I think Chennai, Gujarat, and Royal Challengers Bangalore will be able to qualify for the knockout round. Bengaluru has performed well in their last two matches. Most of the players on the team are in good form now. Especially the two openers Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis, and Maxwell are able to perform well in almost every match. Bangalureu's NRR is now 0.180. That seems good enough. Bengaluru will play against Gujarat in the last match. As Gujarat have already qualified for the knockout round, this match is not very important for them. I think the Bengaluru team will be able to win in the last match as well.

In today's match, Sunrisers Hyderabad batted first and set a target of 187 runs to Royal Challengers Bangalore. Now batting in second innings chasing a target of 187 runs, Royal Challengers Bangalore are in good form. Sunrisers Hyderabad bowlers have so far failed to pick up any wickets despite bowling 10 overs.

Shorter boundary length of stadium made the match more excited, as both team show his power hitting, SRH top order were performance were quite bad later phenomenal century of middle order batter Klaasen help his team to score a competitive target. While from RCB side King Kohli were supervb he smashed each and every single bowler of opponent and scored a spectacular century in this crutial match also his captain du Plessis build a inning of 71 runs and thus due to thier partnership they almost get the game but after Thier dismissal middle order finished it .
This victory not only help RCB to get the point but also help them to almost secure the next round play.

Rajasthan Royals will take on Punjab Kings today in the regular season match. Although they have not been excluded from the possibility of playoffs so far, but if today's match is a win between the two teams, then there is absolutely no possibility of going to the playoffs. Because if any of the two teams win today, their number of points will be 14. Already the two teams are at number four and number five in the points table with 14 points and their net run rate is relatively high. Even if either of the two teams wins today, they won't be able to finish between 1 and 4 in terms of net turn rate. So it would not be wrong if we call this match only a rule-keeping match.

Today the 66th Match of Indian Premier League has already started. Punjab Kings vs Rajasthan Royals these two teams came to the field to play. Rajasthan Royals won the toss and decided to bowl. Punjab Kings now came to bat. Scored 45 runs in 5 overs. But  So far Punjab Kings have lost 2 strong wickets. If Punjab Kings can play well in batting then maybe they can give target of 180 runs today. But Rajasthan Royals started good performance in bowling.

[Bitcoin_people]

Punjab Kings vs Rajasthan Royals match is playing great especially Rajasthan Royals are doing good bowling performance. If Punjab Kings lose today's match and even if they win the match, it is not possible to go to the quarter finals. Even if Rajasthan Royals win today's match, they might not go to the knockout stage. Because on the other hand, Mumbai Indians are at the 5th position in the points table with 14 points for their team. And they will get one more match against Sunrise Hyderabad in which Mumbai Indians must win and have a chance to go to the knockout stage. However, in today's match, both the Punjab Kings and Rajasthan Royals may be eliminated before going to the knockout stage.

The Indian Premier League 66th match will feature a duel between Punjab Kings and Rajasthan Royals. The Rajasthan Royals choose to bowl first after winning the toss. Punjab Kings got off to a strong start scoring 45 run in the first five over. They dropped two crucial wickets along the road. With a goal of about 180 runs Punjab Kings ability to bat will be crucial to how this game turns out. Punjab Kings have 100 runs at the end of the 13th over but they have also lost four wicket. The bowling of Rajasthan Royals has been successful in keeping their rivals at bay. Given the circumstances it is likely that PBKS will make an effort to reach a goal of about 160 runs and it is even more interesting to see how Punjab Kings play in the remaining overs.

12 overs of the first innings game between Punjab Kings and Rajasthan Royals is over. At the end of 12 overs, Punjab Kings managed to score only 96 runs by losing four wickets at a current run rate of 7.7.

Jitesh Sharma and Sam Curran are currently batting Jitesh Sharma managed to score 30 runs off 24 balls and Sam Curran managed to score only 18 runs off 17 balls ie they are batting at around 110 to 120 strike rate. Must collect 180 plus to win against Rajasthan Royals. But with the way Punjab Kings are currently batting, it is very difficult for them to collect a total of 180 runs.  

To score 180 plus runs, Punjab Kings will have to do a lot of attacking batting from now on.

66th match of Indian Premier League Punjab Kings vs Rajasthan Royals. Today's match is a rule-keeping match for both the teams. In today's match, the victory and defeat of the two teams will not be the difference for anyone. Because these two teams are playing the last match of the Indian Premier League for this year. But how well can any team do this last.  We are waiting to see that in the end. In today's match, Punjab Kings batted in the first innings and collected 187 runs. I think Punjab Kings finished the game in 20 overs with a good score. Now in the second innings game, Rajasthan Royals are batting for a target of 188 runs. Rajasthan Royals have already lost 3 wickets. Now it is impossible to say how much the remaining wickets can play a role in winning the match. But I think the remaining batsmen of Rajasthan Royals can play with responsibility. Then maybe there will be a chance to win this match. Rajasthan Royals score, 110-3(12.2)

This is the must win match for both Rajasthan Royals and Punjab Kings. RR needs 33 runs in the last 3 overs and this match can go anywhere from here. Too much pressure as the team who loses  it will be end of the IPL journey for them.

Punjab Kings had the worst start to the innings when they made 50 runs and lost 4 wickets. It was the worst possible start for them but they later recovered well and scored above 180 runs. Sam Curran made 49 runs while Jitesh Sharma made 44 runs which helped Punjab Kings to score 187 runs.

Looks like the match is going to the final over, Shimron Hetmyer played an incredible innings but he got out with Rajasthan Royals needing 9 runs to win from 7 balls and it is going to be another final over thriller.

Rajasthan Royals still needs 9 runs to win from the last over and Chahar is bowling.

Edit: Dhruv Jurel who is the impact player sealed the match with a six and now net run rate will be the only hurdle RR needs to overcome to get to the final four.

There was some hope in the opposition when the top order of Punjab Kings failed but the middle order turned the match. Sam Curran, Jitesh Sharma and Shahrukh Khan all scored more than 150 strike rate as the match turned into a big score 187 but it is unlucky for Punjab Kings team. RR also converted one of their big scores in the match into a simple equation. In the last over RR needed 9 runs from 6 balls to win the match but they won the match with two balls left. At this time there are 4 teams who won 7 matches out of 13. It can be easily assumed that NRR will be a big factor for qualifying the playoffs.

My expectations were high today from Punjab King's top order. Because the match was very important for them. But the performance of Punjab's top-order 4 batsmen was poor. They can't play well. However, due to the responsible batting of the middle-order batsmen, they were able to give the target of 188 runs. Punjab could have won this match if the performance of Punjab's bowlers was good. But I don't see good performance from their bowlers. Almost every bowler scored a lot of runs in this match. A win in this match would have given Punjab Kings a slim chance of qualifying for the knockout rounds.

Trust me as a Punjab Fan all you'll have is sheer disappointment everytime. They are always a mediocre team which will end up the league in middle always. They will win a few matches but will always choke in important matches, even though all the players have got changed i Think it's some sort of a franchisee curse that this franchisee will never make a good team no matter how much money it spends and how good of players it buys.

Rajasthan Royals needed only nine runs in the last over and Rajasthan Royals batsmen had to play just four balls to get those nine runs.  
Punjab Kings could have bowled a little more controlled. But there Punjab Kings failed completely. If they could have bowled controlled from the beginning then maybe more runs would have been needed in the last over instead of nine runs but in that case the bowlers of Punjab Kings completely failed.

Rahul Chahar, Sam Curran, Arshdeep Singh are undoubtedly the best but they have completely failed to show their best performance. They should have tried economic balls from the beginning. Punjab Kings were defeated by 4 wickets in this match mainly due to bowling failure. And finally, Punjab Kings finished their IPL journey from the 8th position in the points table.

Apart there were midfields and drops which let the Rajasthan Royals players perform confidently. With Punjab kings it is the middle order that scored good runs. Sam Curran, Jitesh Sharma and Shahrukh Khan. If not Punjab could've ended within 150 runs. Trent Boult started the over with agression taking the wicket of Prabhsimran Singh. By the time Saini had 3 wicket haul and Zamba had good bowling economy.

For Rajasthan Royals as usual Jaiswal gave a good start. Jos Butler lost his wicket earlier. It  was Padikkal and Hetmyer who started to score runs, followed by Parag and Jurel to finish the match.

It's absolutely Punjab opening order didn't score significant runs which can give them hope of victory later middle order scored well and save them from small target embarrassment. But Thier bowler didn't deliver the way they can and as a result they runied all of Thier efforts, according to match statistics most of Punjab bowler has 10+ economy, anyway they lose the important match which cost them that they are officially out of the knockout stage, now the most favorite are Mumbai and Banglore both has same points and both has played same number of match now Thier selection in knockout stage will depend on Thier last victory...

Even at the failure of the opening order Punjab managed to score good. The last match have got importance, and Rajasthan Royals tried to have a better winning. However they weren't able to execute what they've planned and anyhow now the dependence of Rajasthan Royals were upon RCB to lose the match badly and Mumbai to lose the match. With the form of RCB players and the re-bounce from Mumbai Indians this isn't gonna happen this season.
