Indian Premier League #IPL Cricket

[Sithara007]

Cricket is always full of fun and miserable things. One day you are a hero, but in another day down and out. The same happened to the Punjab Kings. After having 6 wins from their first 7 games, they were leading the table and had a chance of staying at the top, but now their luck has changed. Currently, they are on a 6-match losing streak and have a chance of facing elimination from the top 4.

Today, in chase of 223, they lost 4 wickets within 62 runs. This was a big blow. After this, their lower middle order put up some resistance, still they failed to bring any success. Their bowling was miserable, but now their batting is also facing deep troubles, which could end their season on disappointment. I am not sure that they still have chances for qualifying for playoffs as they have only one more match to play. Now they need to wait for others' results. This was really unexpected when considering how they started this season.

They brought in Lockie Ferguson for yesterday's match and he went for close to 15 runs per over. Yuzvendra Chahal conceded 42 from his 3 overs. And this was after decent spells from Arshdeep Singh, Azmatullah Omarzai and Harpreet Brar. They have three very good bowlers, but they always struggle with the 4th and 5th option. And their captain (Shreyas Iyer) doesn't have a solution for this. During the chase, they found themselves at 19/3 after 3.2 overs, with Priyansh Arya, Prabhsimran Singh and Shreyas Iyer back in the pavilion. The match was effectively over by then.

Looks like the final nail is going to be inserted in Punjab Kings coffin. They are going to increase their losing streak to 6 today, which is going to end their journey for the qualifiers. I was very optimistic about the performance of Punjab players. Bengaluru will confirm their position in the top 4 by winning the match today. Punjab had started very well this season, but their ending is disappointing.

This isn't true at all. Punjab are still in the 4th position in the table and still have a match against LSG implying that they realistically can still qualify for the playoffs despite losing 6 games on the trot. It's going to be tough for them, but it's still possible.

RCB and GT have pretty much qualified while the remaining teams are fighting for 2 spots. CSK vs SRH is a big one coming up and is basically a do or die match for Chennai. Expecting SRH to win.

This was really unexpected when considering how they started this season.

This match involves the teams of PbKS or RCB. First, RCB has made a very good score while batting, which is 222 runs. This is a very good score in terms of overs, in which the highest innings was played by Venkatesh Iyer, who has made 73 runs. Some players have helped in making this score, which is good for his team. Apart from this, Virat Kohli has also made 58 runs. He also tries to improve his batting in every match, which increases his strength. PbKS team has made 199 runs while batting and chasing the target. They have lost this match by a few scores. If they had worked a little harder, they might have achieved this target, but they were not lucky to win, due to which they have lost this match. Their wickets also has 8 wickets which has made a difference in his batting.

PBKS are not facing good time right now. A 6-match losing streak is surely one of the worst in IPL standard. After securing 13 points in the first 7 matches, now they have limited chances of staying in to be top 4. SRH has 2 matches remaining, and they are currently at the 4th spot.

The second team that can fight is CSK while RR also has 2 games; this could be a positive for them. PBKS and DC literally lost their chances due to poor performance and having only one game to play.

[Mahdirakib]

This isn't true at all. Punjab are still in the 4th position in the table and still have a match against LSG implying that they realistically can still qualify for the playoffs despite losing 6 games on the trot. It's going to be tough for them, but it's still possible.

Punjab indeed has the opportunity to end the group stage journey by staying in top 4. But it will be very tough for them. It will be surprising if they still win the last match and stay in the top 4. The equation isn't simple for them anymore. Punjab must need a victory in the last match, then they have to rely on the result of some other matches. That's why I think Punjab won't make it to the qualifiers round.

[Out of mind]

Sunrise Hyderabad is facing Chennai Super Kings in today's match. Sunrise Hyderabad is bowling in this match. Sunrise Hyderabad's bowling performance is very good today. They have already taken four important wickets of Chennai Super Kings which indicates a lot of victory for them. Pat Cummins has collected three wickets today with his strong bowling performance which did not allow the opposing team's batsmen to stay at the crease for long. However, in today's match, Chennai Super Kings may give a target of 190 runs for Sunrise Hyderabad and if they can make this run, the game will be a bit tough. But Sunrise Hyderabad has a lot of chances to win in this match. They are currently in third position in the IPL points table. If they win today's match, they will be qualified enough to qualify. For that purpose, Sunrise Hyderabad must give their important batting performance in today's match and win the match.

PBKS are not facing good time right now. A 6-match losing streak is surely one of the worst in IPL standard. After securing 13 points in the first 7 matches, now they have limited chances of staying in to be top 4. SRH has 2 matches remaining, and they are currently at the 4th spot.

The second team that can fight is CSK while RR also has 2 games; this could be a positive for them. PBKS and DC literally lost their chances due to poor performance and having only one game to play.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru cricket team played very well against Punjab Kings cricket team in the last match because they gave a big target in this match and that target was out of reach of Punjab Kings
 team because they have no confidence to chase such a big target. Venkatesh Iyer made a good score in this match and he was top performer in this match and he made 73 runs in this match and played 40 balls in this match. He hit 4 sixes in this match and he was a person who was playing with good rhythm and Royal Challengers Bengaluru is favorite team to win this title because all players are giving their effort for the team . Punjab Kings lose the match by 23 runs because they are losing back to back matches and they will be out before semi final match.

For that purpose, Sunrise Hyderabad must give their important batting performance in today's match and win the match.

Chennai managed to set a target of 181 runs. It cannot be called a big target. Even so, if Chennai's bowlers pick quick wickets, they will win. But I was surprised by the batting of Raturaj Gaikwad and Shivam Dube. They probably forgot it was an IPL match. Both are very experienced batsmen. But he batted like a fool. Gaikwad managed to collect just 15 runs from 21 balls. Dube's collection was 26 off 23 balls.

Hyderabad lost the wicket of Travis head early and now batting slowly. They managed to collect only 38 runs after 5 overs. Both Abhishek and Ishan Kishan are batting very carefully.

Today Chennai Super Kings needs to look forward, yesterday they totally did a blender, that time they had a opportunity to come in top four but they missed it still they have more chances and it is like do or die, they must needs to get two points in this game so that the last match will be very easy for them and it might help them too to increase their position in the point table. The opponent is going to be Sunrisers Hyderabad, who are also in a good place. They (SRH) needs 81 more runs to make in 47 balls with 8 wickets still in hand.

It is unfortunate for Punjab because after winning the first six matches in a row, losing six matches in a row is a question mark over their performance. So, are the Punjab Kings, who are in the best position, going to be eliminated from this year's IPL? If they win the last match, they might be in the fourth position, in which case Chennai Super Kings will definitely have to lose to Sunrisers Hyderabad. But I think Punjab Kings are likely to lose to Lucknow Super Giants.

It is an important game for Chennai team but they scored just 180 runs batting first and also their bowling is not good enough to defend the target. Hyderabad need just 38 runs in last 4 overs to win the game and with this win Hyderabad team has chance to move to number second spot on points table if there NRR is more then Gujrat teams after this match. Chennai team lost an opportunity to move among top four teams of the tournament and this might be a vital loss for Chennai as group stage is coming to its end.

This match involves the teams of CSK or SRH, in which both the teams performed very well, but one of them has scored a very good score. CSK got the opportunity to bat, in which they have set a target of 180. Dewald Brevis from their team has scored rest of the players have also scored some scores. Now the SRH team is batting, in which they have scored 158 runs, now only a few runs are left to be scored. Out of them, the highest score was scored by Ishan Kishan, who has scored 70 runs but could not complete his century, yet he worked hard. In second place, Heinrich Klaasen has also scored 47 runs, this proves that they have kept their batting very strong. They have also shown their effort in bowling. They still need 13 runs from 12 balls, this shows that they have proven their batting good, due to which they have a little bit of a chance. The score is still the same, the maker hopes to win.

[Vaskiy]

Great day for SRH confirming its position into the playoff. CSK on the other hand missed a great opportunity. With the home ground support and winning the toss they should've scored 200+ runs. The team was able to score 180 runs, which is not enough against SRH. At some point CSK had an opportunity, but misfields and dropped catches have costed them loss the match. Let's see, what they can do in the next season. For this season, the chance is very narrow as RR and PBKS need to loss their matches and CSK need to win the final match with good NRR.

SRH were already near the playoffs, and they already know how big the fight is ahead for the playoffs. That's why they didn't take risks. If CSK gives a target of 200 plus runs, SRH will chase it down to confirm their slot, and they get it. Now there is 1 slot and 5 fighters, and only one will get the slot. After losing the match, CSK lost the opportunity, and now they hope that the other teams lose so that they can win their match, which is too difficult. Everyone is showing their best performance to qualify for the playoffs. So, in that case, I think CSK will not qualify and will return to their homes.

This match involves the teams of PbKS or RCB. First, RCB has made a very good score while batting, which is 222 runs. This is a very good score in terms of overs, in which the highest innings was played by Venkatesh Iyer, who has made 73 runs. Some players have helped in making this score, which is good for his team. Apart from this, Virat Kohli has also made 58 runs. He also tries to improve his batting in every match, which increases his strength. PbKS team has made 199 runs while batting and chasing the target. They have lost this match by a few scores. If they had worked a little harder, they might have achieved this target, but they were not lucky to win, due to which they have lost this match. Their wickets also has 8 wickets which has made a difference in his batting.

222 runs and four outs, this is what is happening. Royal Challengers Bengaluru team's brilliant performance helped them win this match a lot. They are like that when the first team's batsmen perform brilliantly and make their batting heavy on the second team's bowling, the second team comes under pressure and when the target is high, then more pressure is created on the second team.This is the same thing.The team that was playing against them in this match was the Punjab Kings team. While chasing this target, eight players were out but they could only score 199 runs, but they had completed their effort and I am saying this by looking at their overall batting. The performance of these two players Virat Kohli and Venkatesh Iyer was better than the rest of the players and the rest of the work was done by their bowlers in bowling, due to which RCB team won this 61st match of the series.

For that purpose, Sunrise Hyderabad must give their important batting performance in today's match and win the match.

This game was important for CSK team but thte did not win and lost this game by 5 wickets and 6 balls remaining against SRH team. Now SRH team rank is 3 rd and have 16 points and CSK team has missed chance to play in playoffs game. In CSK vs SRH game, CSK team won toss and they elected batting first and gave bowling opportunity to SRH team. CSK team set 180 runs target in 20 overs by losing 7 wickets. Pat bowler helped team to win this game and he dismissed 3 wickets in 4 overs and gave 28 balls. Ishan batsmen got player of game award at the end of game because his batting effort was mind blowing and he scored 70 runs in 47 balls and hitted seven 4s and three 4s. Congratulations SRH team won this 63 rd game by 5 wickets and 6 balls.

Chennai Super Kings had the home advantage, and even then they managed to put up just 180/7 in their innings. Toss was won by Ruturaj Gaikwad, who opted to bat first. IMO, it was the first blunder. They were perhaps afraid that if they opt to field first, then Travishek may destroy their bowlers. But the captain himself was in horrible form with the bat, making just 15 runs from 21 balls. Samson, as usual fell in his twenties. The middle order, consisting of Kartik Sharma, Dewald Brevis and Shivam Dube did their best, but in the end they failed to set up a formidable total.

Three teams have already qualified in this IPL, RCB, GT, and SRH have gone to the next round with their excellent performance. However, RR and PBKS will be very challenging to qualify for the next round among these two teams. Especially we have seen that PSBKS was in very good form in the beginning but later they lost a few matches and they fell down the points table. Since RR still has two matches to play, if they can achieve great wins in two matches, their chances of qualifying are high, and if they lose one match, their chances will be greatly reduced. In that case, since pbks will play one match, if they can win that match by a big margin, they will definitely qualify, but in any case, if PBKS team is to qualify in this IPL, they will have to win their last match by a big margin.

Today Chennai Super Kings needs to look forward, yesterday they totally did a blender, that time they had a opportunity to come in top four but they missed it still they have more chances and it is like do or die, they must needs to get two points in this game so that the last match will be very easy for them and it might help them too to increase their position in the point table. The opponent is going to be Sunrisers Hyderabad, who are also in a good place. They (SRH) needs 81 more runs to make in 47 balls with 8 wickets still in hand. 

It is an important game for Chennai team but they scored just 180 runs batting first and also their bowling is not good enough to defend the target. Hyderabad need just 38 runs in last 4 overs to win the game and with this win Hyderabad team has chance to move to number second spot on points table if there NRR is more then Gujrat teams after this match. Chennai team lost an opportunity to move among top four teams of the tournament and this might be a vital loss for Chennai as group stage is coming to its end.

Yeah, this was an important game for CSK but SRH gave them packing orders. Their batting failed to perform in the last two games just because of this. Now they are having an exit. Three teams with 16 points are leading the table and have a good chance of staying at the top.

After today, CSK defeated RR, Punjab Kings, and KKR in the contest for the last spot, while four teams are almost out of the race: LSG, MI, DC, and CSK because their performance was relatively not good throughout the season. For me, RR has much better chances, but their batting needs to be done well.
If KKR is able to perform well and have a good NRR, then the chances are high for them to overtake Punjab Kings. Things are going to be more interesting.

Three teams are in the playoffs, while five teams are still fighting hard for one remaining place. Today I was expecting the Rajasthan Royals to do a good job and have their spot, but the century stand between Mitchel Marsh and Inglis gave an impressive start to LSG, which is already out of the race, and they can go for 240 runs. This could be a big challenge.

9th over in progress, but the score is already 109. No mercy from both openers for the Rajasthan Royal bowlers, who were struggling from the start and now have pressure to keep things on track, but it's looking not easy for them.

Yash Raj Punja, playing his 5th game, gives a breakthrough to his team with the wicket of Josh Inglis.
