Indian Premier League #IPL Cricket

[noormcs5]

In many of the matches, we saw big scores and one sided games, why this thing actually happening and killing the real game. Before in the earlier seasons, the target of 170 was so great and it hardly chased but nowadays teams can even score up to 170 in just 12 to 13 overs because that time IPL was a game and now it is big money making as well as entertainment.

First of all, you need to understand that broadcasters want intense games, brands want sponsorship partnerships, whereas the main thing the crowd and supporters want is excitement. Everything can be solved with just one thing that is flat pitches, where batsmen can smash easily and hit a lot of boundaries.

Finally, the moment came when the two teams faced each other in the final after a long fight for the playoffs and then in the qualifier matches. In the second match, GT and RR faced each other, and after an intense fight, GT finally won the match and is now ready to face RCB. In this category, RCB is dominating as they defeated GT twice, one of which was in the crucial qualifier match. So, in my view, there is no doubt that GT is in good form and strong in chasing, but when they came up against RCB, they came under pressure, which imbalanced their practice, and maybe something will happen again in this final match..

Unfortunately, RR team could not reach final game and were eliminated today after losing in playoffs game. This lost came against Gt team. RR team won toss today and they got opportunity to take first bat or bowl and they selected batting first and gave bowling lineup GT team. RR set good target 214 runs in 20 overs by losing 6 wickets. Vaibhav again batted so brilliant and missed century by 4 runs and scored total 96 runs in 47 balls and hitted eight 4s and seven 6s. But RR team failed to beat GT team and GT successfully chased down target and won important game by 7 wickets and 8 balls. Sai and Shubman opener batsmen batted very well and Sai scored half century 58 runs in 32 balls and hitted eight 4s and one 6s. Shubman made important center 104 runs in 53 balls and hitted fifteen 4s and three 6s and he got player of game award at end of this playoff game. Jason helped team to win this game and took down 2 wickets. Congratulations GT team won 2 nd Qualifier game and best wishes both teams RCB and GT for final game.

But GT got an edge since the final will be played in Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, which is the home ground of GT, so the support might do some good but for the players, they know their pitch better than the visitors. While RCB got good bowlers who can contain in any kind of pitches and rarely get hit by the opponent, their batting is potent enough to chase any big score.

It is a batsman friendly game, the ground is getting smaller and the mishits are going over the boundary for six. It is a bowler's graveyard without a doubt. Even though they have produced some good bowling talents through the IPL, it will reduce in the future as it will demoralize young talents.

The impact player rule has already killed the all rounder's spot, you won't find any multi dimensional talents through the IPL, as it will only create young batting talents.

I have watched only a few matches, there is no competition between the bat and ball and it is actually boring.

Not just IPL, even the international matches on the white ball format turned into a batter's game a long age that is why see high scores compared to the previous era but it is not just sport but also a business, they are simply showing what the viewers might like, and this impact player rule took this to the next level.

I wish the impact player rule will be removed and also make some changes in the favor of bowlers like let the bowling side decide the powerplay overs instead of just 6 from the very start.

Gujarat Titans need to be scared because when they were playing the knockout round, they just lost that game because of their poor bowling style, and it lead to the batsmen giving up. At the same time, we can say that RCB had great batting, that's why GT lost, but now, on the other hand, their Sunrise Hyderabad also has great batting, that we saw last night and that puts pressure on the Gujarat Titans.

Gujarat Titans lost the match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru because of their stupidity. Despite winning the toss, they asked RCB to bat first. And then Rajat Patidar made an unbeaten 93, to take them to 254/5. Their opponents for today also suffering from weakness in bowling. Rajasthan has Jofra Archer, who is in superb form. But there is not a single bowler who can provide any support to Archer. Nandre Burger is in poor form since the start of this season, while Brijesh Sharma and Yash Raj Punja has seen their performances undergoing a downslide in recent matches. Royals are the favorites for today's match as per Stake and it is not surprising given the recent momentum of the two teams. Royals are at 1.80, while Titans are being given 2.00.

You know that the first qualifier was between RCB and Gujarat team, in which RCB team won and jumped straight to the final and now this second qualifier has taken place in which Gujarat team competed with Rajasthan Royals team. Now two teams will win in this match, it was against RCB team. If we look at it, the first team set a very good target, it was 214 runs and if we look at the normal routine, it was a very good target, but the team that was playing against them Gujarat they completed the target by almost seven wickets and eight balls. Now the final match to be held will be between RCB and Gujarat team. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi who made his team's highest score 96 but his team lost and the second team highest score is 104.

[HelliumZ]

Vaibhav Surayavangshi, A six machine, but yesterday he played a brilliant innings of 96 runs and helped his team to a total of 214 runs but in the end his team lost. One of his emerging monsters of attacking batsman could not take the team to the final. I will give him my respect but Rajasthan Royals bowlers could not even contain 214 runs.
Three Gujarat batsmen finished the game, especially Shubman Gill's brilliant knock of 104, which helped Rajasthan Royals defeat them. However, the second qualifier was more competitive than expected, but can the Gujarat Titans compete with RCB in the final?

So we have Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Gujarat Titans in the final. Both played a Qualifier match against each other, and coincidentally, both of them will face each other in the final too. Its gonna be interesting and intense. Of course Gujarat Titans will try their best to give competition in the final but is it easy?
Obviously not; the opponent became silent for some time because there was no space for the lion to roar, meaning that there was no match for RCB to show their quality gameplay. Well, they are waiting for the final.

Now how it is killing the game, for example even from a youngster batsmen, the big bowler names like Bumrah or Starc scare, why because of flat pitches. Supporters can have excitement from this thing and people can have enjoyment from different records being broken and big shots, but bowlers face trouble and at the same time due to these flat pitches, now 200 just looks like 80 to 90 runs. Even how is it possible to chase up to 250 or 260 runs in just 20 overs, this is all about the curse effect of the flat pitches.

A target of 215 runs is not enough on such a pitch because bowlers do not always get an advantage on such a pitch so Rajasthan should have scored more. Gujarat reached the target with 8 balls to spare and won by a huge margin of 7 wickets. Rajasthan had performed well in the last two matches and won but lost in the 2nd qualifier.

The final match will be tomorrow. Both the teams have been champions once so the team that wins tomorrow will be champions for the second time. Anyway the final match will be on Gujarat's home ground so they will have more advantage. But RCB are in great form so it is expected that the match will be competitive. However, based on performance I would like to put RCB ahead.

~ Odds are also good, but Rajasthan Royals are slightly favoured due to their good performance in the last game @1.80, while Gujarat Titans are @2. Live betting could be better for this game.

Rajasthan had given a decent target yesterday. But Gujarat has completely nailed it there. The opening partnership of Gujarat was magnificent in the match, it was also unexpected. The eliminator and qualifier matches have ended without any tough contest between the teams. Bengaluru is completely favourite to win the trophy. I hope the final will be competitive between Gujarat and Bengaluru.

This total was not decent because as Gujarat Titans got batting power house, Rajasthan Royals needed a minimum of 240 to 250. Things have never been favourable for Rajasthan Royals from the start after losing early wickets, but Vaibhav Sooryavanshi plays an impressive inning in the last few overs, and Ravindra Jadeja and Donovan Ferreira make sure they end on 214.

Sai Sudharshan and Shubman Gill both have good seasons, which makes things possible, and they have a big opening stand. This helps them have a big win and a spot in the final, where they are going to face RCB once again. This is going to be an interesting game because now Gujarat Titans will enter the ground with a better strategy.

Sai Sudarshan has now made a habit of losing his bat and hitting the wicket. Back-to-back hit wicket by him, there might be a new record in the making by this GT opener. Shubhman Gill's cracking batting yesterday is the reason why GT won against RR. He had a strike rate of 196.23 when he scored his century, which is way above his average strike rate in T20 format. I still believe the defending champions, RCB, will win the finals of the 2026 IPL.

[|MINER|]

With the performance it looks like RCB is the champion of the IPL season 2026. In yesterday's match there is no flaw and Patidar well used the opportunity when the catch was misjudged by Butler and Holder. Maybe if he had caught out the score could've come down by at least 30 runs. For now, RCB have comfortably reached the Finals. As said PBKS looked strong to reach the play-off first, but things went the opposite way. In my view Rajasthan Royals have got better chance of lifting the trophy as they've got little more luck along with good performance from its players.

How are you feeling now after seeing Gujarat Titan's recovery? Are you getting a mixed film like me now?
Actually, I also thought that Royal Challengers Bangalore is going to become the champion of this Indian Premier League tournament without any problems. But in the meantime, I think Gujarat Titan can act as a bit of an obstacle now.

Because looking at their performance, it seems that they are on the path of recovery. And if they are on the path of recovery, then I think the final match will not be as one-sided as it seemed.

The final match will be played again between Gujarat and Royal Challengers Bangalore, but here Royal Challengers Bangalore is in a position to dominate. Royal Challengers Bangalore performed very well in the first qualifier, but Gujarat lost. Will Gujarat, after losing repeatedly, be able to show some face in the final match? Or will they lose to Royal Challengers Bangalore again in the match.

I think that will be too fast, ignoring the GT teams and underestimating their performance will be a foolish act by RCB. Yes, that's correct, RCB crushed them with a 92 run win, but the GT bounced back and showed their best performance while chasing a good target. In the final, GT has one more benefit of the home ground, and that will bring them closer to victory. Somehow, I chose the GT team, and then we will see who can win the match.

It's final time. IPL 2026 has been a pretty boring season for me overall thanks to way too many one sided matches though I hope that the final itself will be entertaining considering the fact that GT and RCB are pretty evenly matched currently.

My bet is on GT to become 2 time trophy winners primarily thanks to their amazingly consistent top 3. If they field well, I don't see them losing this one.

I doubt that we will see a competitive match today between them. From my perspective, the final match would be one sided or a comfortable win for a team.

I'm going with RCB, they are also considered as favourite. Both teams have a good batting lineup, but the performance of the bowlers will have a primary impact on the match result.

[HelliumZ]

The toss has already been done in today's IPL final match where RCB won the toss and decided to field. If RCB, the IPL champion last year, becomes the champion this year, then it will become the champion for the second time in a row. On the other hand, if Gujarat becomes the champion, then Gujarat will become the champion for the second time.
However, this year, Virat Kohli's RCB team is quite balanced and performing well, which is why I will keep RCB ahead in today's final match for now. On the other hand, there is no reason to keep Gujarat Titans behind because the performance of Gujarat's top order batsmen this year is much better, due to which if their performance is also revealed in today's match, Gujarat Titans also have the potential to become champions.
