Indian Premier League #IPL Cricket

Today, Kolkata Knight Riders' opening pair batted very well, batting aggressively from the start. As if the bowlers of Punjab Kings could not take wickets, both batsmen batted very well. Finally, the aggressive batsmen of Kolkata Knight Riders gave Punjab Kings a target of 262 runs in the stipulated 20 overs. However, Punjab Kings bowlers did not bowl well against Kolkata Knight Riders. Punjab Kings bowlers should have bowled more responsibly as the target of 262 runs will not be easily crossed by the Punjab Kings batsmen. It is expected that Kolkata Knight Riders will win the match against Punjab Kings by a huge margin of runs. Because Punjab Kings do not have enough reliable batsmen to cross the target of 262 runs. So it is expected that today's match will be won by Kolkata Knight Riders very easily. However, if the bowlers of Punjab Kings could have bowled a little more responsibly, if they could have restricted Kolkata to 180, then maybe  Punjab Kings would have won today's match against Kolkata Knight Riders.

[Out of mind]

Kolkata Knight Riders batted in the first innings, and they scored 261 runs for the loss of 6 wickets. Kolkata Knight Riders managed to score big in today's match, and they have enough chances to win this match. I think Punjab Kings may not be able to achieve this target today as KKR is in very good form and their bowling performance is also excellent. And I watched the game today and the two opening batsmen who started for KKR in this match, Philip Salt and Sunil Narine both batted brilliantly and collected runs, but unfortunately neither scored a century in today's match. Sunil Narine scored a 32-ball 71, and Philip Salt scored a 37-ball 75, both dismissed as neither reached a century. But later, good runs were collected, and a huge target was given to Punjab Kings, and this target may not be fulfilled by Punjab Kings so easily. And I think today's match belongs to Kolkata Knight Riders, and they will win and increase their rating in the points table.

Today we have seen the aggressive batting of Kolkata batsmen. Today we may see another record. At the end of 16 overs, the Kolkata team managed to collect 210 runs. Kolkata team lost only 3 wickets.

Both openers batted well today. Phil Salt scored 75 runs from 37 balls and Sunile Narine scored 71 runs from 32 balls. Kolkata team managed to collect 138 runs from Penning pair.

None of Punjab's bowlers are able to bowl well today. Especially Harshal Patel and Rabada's bowling was very bad. Patel gave 37 runs in 2 overs and experienced bowlers like Rabada gave 43 runs in 2 overs. The target of 250+ runs will be easily met by the Kolkata team today.

Whattt a matchhh!!!! Kolkata's batsmen have done a great batting today. The two openers made big collections. Narine scored 71 runs and Salt collected 75 runs. Then Venkatesh Iyer, Russel and Shreyes Iyer also batted well. And in the end the Kolkata team managed to collect a huge score of 261 runs. Kolkata's collection was 137 runs in the first 10 overs. Kolkata's batsmen batted at a smart strike rate from the beginning of the innings.

Rabada's bowling today really surprised me. Rabada is the most experienced and important bowler in Punjab's squad. Rabada gave 52 runs in 3 overs today, and he could not take a single wicket.

The target is too big. Kolkata team has managed to provide a huge target of 262 runs. But the pitch is completely batting friendly. So even after giving a huge target of 162 runs, Kolkata are likely to lose if the bowlers don't perform well. So if you want to win the match, the bowlers must do controlled bowling.

At the end of 8 overs, Punjab managed to collect 108 runs. The team lost only one wicket. Prabhsimran Singh managed to collect 54 runs from 20 balls. He played a great innings. Jonny Bairstwo remains unbeaten with 44 off 21 balls.

Punjab need to collect 154 runs from Rajan's 72 balls to win. If the Kolkata bowlers do not bowl well, the team will be defeated today. The way Punjab's batsmen are batting now, if they don't lose wickets then scoring 154 runs off 72 balls is not a difficult task.

Kolkata are more likely to lose this match at the moment. The match is completely under Punjab's control. Punjab batsmen managed to collect 173 runs in 12 overs. Bairstwo remains unbeaten with 92 from just 38 balls. Due to this great innings, the Punjab team is going to get an easy win in the big target. Bairstwo hits 8 boundaries and 8 over boundaries. Calcutta bowlers need to pick up this wicket quickly. But none of Kolkata's bowlers can do well today. Now the Punjab team has to collect 89 runs off 48 balls. I think scoring 89 runs off 48 balls on this pitch is an easy task. If Punjab does not lose any wicket in next 2 overs then Punjab team will definitely win this match.

Well it's a great fight to watch because both side were delivering thier best and to be honest it's like disasters for bolwer because each and everyone were smashed brutally from both side by thier opponent batters, first Kolkata took a magnificent start with a more than 100 runs in first 10 overs where both of thier opponent were undefeated while compared to them Punjab done phenomenal they give opportunity to that bloody monster guy name Bairstow who scored a brilliant century single handedly and with some heavy support from his partner put Punjab kings on driving seat to won the match even having such high target chase. Anyway I am really impressed from Bairstow Punjab should give him more opportunity in order to be in the tournament while for Kolkata Thier main bowler were not available may be his presence make huge difference

I thought KKR would win today's match against Panjab but unfortunately, they are lost. Today's match was most important for KKR. Now 3 teams stay in the same position on the point table but KKR 1st from them. I hope LSG will improve in the next match. If LSG wins the next match then they will stay in the 2nd position. Congratulations Punjab Kings for their best performance. The next match of KKR was the most challenging.

And that is a very good and difficult target.  Their batsmen have worked hard and struggled to make this target.  Yes, and I thought so too.  That KKR team will win today's match.  Because their batsmen have given huge targets.  But when the batsmen of Punjab King batted.  So their batsmen showed their speed and the hard work and struggle they put in may not have been done in any other match.Johnny Batsman scored 108 runs off 48 balls.  This batsman showed great interest in the match and worked hard and struggled and added a lot to the match.And besides this, Shashank the batsman has also scored 68 runs in 28 balls.  Both these batsmen have shown good performance in the match.  And wins the match.  Punjab King's batsmen scored 262 runs in 18.4 overs to win the match.  If even 300 is the target, they have the power to achieve it.  Today I am very impressed with Punjab King's batsmen.

The Sunil Narine and Philip Salt game was unique today in the first half of the Kolkata match.But the same was replaced by many batsmen like Bairstow and Prabhsimran Singh.Because the first phase was made by the Singh with 54 runs from the 20 balls.Actually the run out was unexpected one by the good partnership of Prabhsimran and Bairstow.Really Bairstow feel bad for the run out and he started to play the responsible game.The new batsman Shasank had his influence till the end of the game.

Honestly the  Bairstow get tied after completing his century,the last 68 runs in 28 balls from the Shasank was made the Punjab team to achieve the target with 8 balls in hand.So if the Kolkata had scored of 287 also it may be chased by the team Punjab with today game power.This is not expected by the Kolkata till the end of the game.The bowling performance of Kolkata bowlers was worst today.

Today, Kolkata Knight Riders' opening pair batted very well, batting aggressively from the start. As if the bowlers of Punjab Kings could not take wickets, both batsmen batted very well. Finally, the aggressive batsmen of Kolkata Knight Riders gave Punjab Kings a target of 262 runs in the stipulated 20 overs. However, Punjab Kings bowlers did not bowl well against Kolkata Knight Riders. Punjab Kings bowlers should have bowled more responsibly as the target of 262 runs will not be easily crossed by the Punjab Kings batsmen. It is expected that Kolkata Knight Riders will win the match against Punjab Kings by a huge margin of runs. Because Punjab Kings do not have enough reliable batsmen to cross the target of 262 runs. So it is expected that today's match will be won by Kolkata Knight Riders very easily. However, if the bowlers of Punjab Kings could have bowled a little more responsibly, if they could have restricted Kolkata to 180, then maybe  Punjab Kings would have won today's match against Kolkata Knight Riders.

Today we see big game in IPL series and PBKS team made a brilliant win in 42 th game and this game was played with KKR team. PBKS team made 261 runs target and this target was not easy to chase and get a win by beating this target. But PBKS team made impossible to possible for chase down all target and won this game by 8 wickets and 8 balls. P.Singh scored 54 runs in 20 balls and he hitted four 4s and five 6s. J.Bairstow made a full century in today game total 108 runs in 48 balls with eight 4s and nine 6s. This batsman also received a player of game title of his brilliant batting effort. A.Singh also showed good struggle in bowl and dismissed 2 wickets in 4 overs with 45 runs. KKR team lost this game by poor effort in bowling and they failed to stop PBKS team batsman for chase their target.

The epic winning of Punjab Kings by 8 wickets against Kolkata Knight Riders, was thrilling enough. Kolkata Knight Riders tried their best to collect more and more runs when they started batting. Their top ordered batsman played very well. Philip Salt(75), narine (71) and final finisher Shreyas Iyer(28) also impressed fans and they collected total 261/6 runs. And then Punjab Kings came and show their epic performance. Jonny Bairstow (108) made his century and i love the way how Shashank Singh(68) played and made huge runs from 28 balls and make his team win.

Kolkata could not win despite setting a huge target, it is bad luck for Kolkata. Kolkata were able to set a huge run target due to the performance of the top order batsmen. Kolkata's batting line-up has been good enough but the bowling line-up has been very poor. Kolkata ended up scoring 261 which was enough of a target to win. But the bowlers could not bowl well which resulted in the defeat in the end.

Punjab's performance has not been good in the last few matches so I thought it will not be possible for Punjab to chase down the target of 262 runs. But Punjab's batsmen surprised everyone by performing brilliantly. Jonny Bairstow and Prabhsimran Singh both batted very well at the start, scoring 98 runs in the powerplay. Jonny Bairstow was unbeaten on 108 off 48 balls. Congratulations to the Punjab team for chasing a huge run target. Kolkata batting line is good enough but bowling line is not good enough. If Kolkata is to win the next matches, the bowling line has to be improved otherwise it will be difficult for Kolkata to win.

This is the first record in the history of cricket, which Punjab Kings managed to achieve. So far no team has been able to win by setting a target of 261 runs in the second innings. In yesterday's match of IPL against Punjab Kings, Kolkata Knight Riders had a great performance and with a great performance, Kolkata Knight Riders managed to score 261 runs in the first innings. When Kolkata scored 261 runs in the first innings, the target of 262 runs was set for Punjab Kings, where I naturally thought that Punjab Kings would never be able to win this match. But proving us wrong, Punjab Kings secured a great win by 8 wickets with 8 balls in hand. Such a record was really amazing, IPL is really interesting and we see its interest in every match.

Yesterday's match between Kolkata Knight Riders vs Punjab Kings was a very exciting match. When Kolkata Knight Riders scored 260 runs in the allotted 20 overs, KKR supporters were sure that Punjab Kings would never win today's match. I myself thought that it will never be possible for Punjab Kings to win against Kolkata Knight Riders maybe if they bat well the game will be competitive but the batsmen of Punjab Kings played responsible batting and because of their responsible batting they won by 8 wickets with such a big target bait. Punjab Kings batsmen's impeccable batting has made the IPL match more exciting. Kolkata Knight Riders batsmen against Punjab Kings batting responsibly If the batsmen of Kolkata performed as well as bowlers could have given their maximum performance from the beginning if they could have put Punjab Kings under the pressure of aggressive bowling surely Kolkata would have won against Punjab Kings.

Although we can consider it an interesting match as Kolkata Knight Riders scored 261 runs while Punjab Kings scored 262 runs for 8 wickets to win. Although Kolkata Knight Riders lost their points in this match which is not good news for them, but Punjab Kings managed to collect points with the win. Yes I would say every batsman performed well, these batsmen of Kolkata Knight Riders were successful in scoring great runs. But Punjab Kings did not have to face disappointment to meet the target of 262 runs, Jonny Bairstow played the highest role from the batsman's point of view. Moreover, his batting was outstanding which gave a favorite game to the visitors, however the match was played best by Punjab Kings due to which they secured victory with 262 runs for 8 wickets and increased the points.

We got an opportunity to enjoy an incredible match. Did anyone imagine that Punjab would get such a great win in this match? Batting more than 200 targets is very difficult to win. Punjab won by batting at a target of 262 runs. Punjab team reached the target of victory before the end of 19 overs.



Punjab fans really need to thank Jonny Bairstwo for the win in this match. If Jonny Bairstwo did not play an unbeaten innings of 108 runs off 48 balls, the Punjab team could not have won this match. Bairstwo batted at 225 strike rate. Bairstwo hit 9 over boundaries and 8 boundaries. Due to this responsible batting, Punjab Kings easily won the big target.

in the 43rd match of IPL Delhi Capital scored a huge total 257 runs in a loss of 4 wickets. Delhi Capital batting performance is outstanding in this Match especially Fraser McGurk performance is amazing scored 84 runs in just only 27 balls unfortunately, missed his well-deserved century by just 16 runs short but reached the team total of 250 plus runs against Mumbai Indians. Mumbai Indians chased down the target and lost 3 wickets in 136 runs. Talik Varma is playing at 24 runs not out and haHardicandya is also playing well at 46 runs Mumbai Indians need 122 runs from 46 balls to win this match against Delhi capital but their chances of winning are not high.

Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya won the toss and decided to bowl first. He will definitely regret this decision. Because in today's match against Delhi Capitals, Mumbai Indians bowlers did not perform so well, due to which Delhi Capitals batsmen played responsible batting from the beginning and completely defeated the Mumbai Indians bowlers. Mumbai Indians have been given a target of 258 runs. Coming down to bat against the target of 258 runs set by Delhi Capitals, Mumbai Indians batsmen were under a lot of pressure after losing wickets, but Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya and Tim David batted responsibly for Mumbai Indians. However, if the opener pair of Mumbai Indians could have batted responsibly, they would have won against Delhi Capitals. Because Mumbai Indians lost the match by just 10 runs against Delhi Capitals. Mumbai Indians really played a very commendable game as they fought brilliantly against Delhi Capitals to win the match unfortunately Mumbai Indians could not win the match but the match was very competitive.

In Indian Premier league competition, one match has successfully completed and this war was done among Delhi Capitals squad against Mumbai Indian squad. Delhi Capitals squad has begun this match first with batting inning because Delhi Capitals did not win the toss task and by calling of Mumbai Indian squad, Delhi Capitals has started with bat. Delhi Capitals squad has made a strong comeback in this competition and their performance in recent matches has been superb same as today match. Delhi Capitals squad collected such a huge Defeating target of total 257 scores with just lost of 4 batter wickets. This match is finishing very tough among these sqauds because Against sqaud Mumbai Indian squad was very near to achieve 257 scores and just 10 more scores need for victory but sadly, their squad did not achieve victory. Starting of Delhi Capitals sqaud was amazing like Jake Fraser-McGurk batter collected 84 scores off 27 deliveries just with power hitting shots. Tristan Stubbs also played impressively in bat or 2 more need for complete mid century but sadly, their inning was completed and all overs played. Both Rasikh Salam and Mukesh Kumar both these bowlers wiped out 3 same amount of batter wickets in today match.

Mumbai Indians could have lost anyway even if they bat first. 258 is a huge target to start with and MI doesn't have the season going on their favor. DC had a pleasant start with Jake Fraser-McGurk's 84 of 27 balls, that's an strike rate above 300. 3 sixes and he would have tied the record of fastest century in IPL history. Even though MI chased well, they were short by 10 runs at last. They needed to play risky to win but saving one of those 4 wickets lost in last three overs could have changed the game.

Statically there could be ways but effectively, MI are now out of the title race. High scoring matches are nice to look at but it's making the games more demanding.

258 is huge target but credit goes to MI batsmen for giving it a good try. DC are not at number 5th position on points table while MI are at number 9th position. The contest is not over for MI provided they show good performance in rest of there matches. DC have made a good come in this year IPL after losing there initial matches. To make it to play-offs DC need to win rest of there matches and also improve there NRR.
