Qualifer 2: SRH vs GL Live Score Card

SRH Best Bowling Attack VS GI Power packed Batting order


Only once  a side has  won both the eliminator and the second qualifier games in the IPL. Chennai Super Kings has done it 2012, but went down to Kolkata Knight Riders in the final. Now Sun Risers Hyderabad want to be second team to reach final in similar fashion. Faltered Lions take on confident Sun Risers Hyderabad in second qualifier, winner of this match will be facing RCB in the final at Bengaluru on Sunday. It will be interesting contest as Gujarat being best chaser as they won 8 matches while chasing out 10 and SRH are best at defending.

Expect for few hiccups Debutants Gujarat Lions performance in the entire tournament is quite consistent. They have not depended on one or two individuals to reach play offs, all their five batsmen are having 300+ runs in the tournament. Finch and McCullum are the devastating opening pair in this IPL edition, they can tear down any bowling attackand Gujarat Lions will be hoping that this pair will give good start once again. Suresh Raina is enjoying is Modest Success with the bat as he scored 398 runs in 14 matches but he is more successful as a captain. Dwayne Smith and Dinesh Kartik also been in good touch with bat. Gujarat Lions bowling looks strong with Dhawal Kulkarni, Dwayne Bravo who have been leading wicket takers, but also with decent economy rate for Gujarat and their other bowlers are good enough to support the team. Jakati is the only concern to the captain as SRH is having three left handed batsmen and his performance in the last match brought him under the spot light.

On the other hand SRH is quite opposite to GI, they have heavily dependent on their openers ,who did most of the scoring. Except those two none of them have shown an impact on the team performance though Yuvraj have given two match winning performances against Kings IX Punjab and in the eliminator match against Kolkata Knight Riders by scoring quick 40 runs. Ben Cutting and Henrique’s both are labelled as all-rounders but failed to impress with bat, but they did good with ball. Mustafizur Rahman is having best economy of 7.98 in death overs (16-20) till this juncture .Bhuvaneshwar Kumar is the purple cap holder of this edition of IPL, he was so consistent in taking wicket and excellent in the death overs. This bowling pair is doing wonders for sunrisers Hyderabad.

SRH have won the both league matches against Gujarat Lions, SRH is confident that they can repeat it. Unlike Bengaluru, FerozShah Kotla is slow track that is one of the concern for Gujarat Lions. It is slightly difficult to predict the Winner, But SRH is having better chances of winning than Gujarat Lions. And winning toss is very important as the pitch slows down in the second innings.

Prediction: Sun Risers Hyderabad

DD VS RCB Match Story

Not exciting by any means…No tense moments ..Net run ate is insignificant..IPL, which was very exciting over the past few months, has ended with a lackluster game. Both the matches on the final day of league stages happened one sided .Kolkata and RCB have grabbed the the available two berths. Kolkata win has indirectly ruined Mumbai’s chances for playoffs. Mumbai ended up on 5th position with fifth position. In the last game of league stage, RCB has defeated Delhi at Delhi home and picked up 2 points which helped them to be positioned in top two spots. They are the best in terms of Run rate. Sunrisers, Royal Challengers and Kolkata ended their campaign with 16 points, But RCB is positioned ahead of other two because of their Run rate.

Gujrat and Royal Challengers will face each other in qualifier on 24 the of this month at Bangalore. With the form they are in, RCB are the red hot favorites. Winner of this match will play final straight away. Loser of this match will get a get second chance to make to final against the winner of eliminator which is between Kolkata Night Riders and Sun Risers. Chinna Swamy Stadium is all set hold the final of this year’s IPL. Qualifier 2 and and eliminator will be held at Delhi
RCB
With the Kind of form they are in, It seems impossible for them to lose two matches in a row. They recently Annihilated Gujarat against whom their first qualifier. This is definitely a morale booster for RCB and a demoralizer for Gujrat Lions. Their best chance is win Qualifier one as it will be held at their Home ground.
Gujrat Lions
Though they have ended up top in Debut season, They would loved to be in better in terms of points.Most of their loses came in the latter half of the tournament.

Gujrat Lions Vs MI Live Score Card

script src=”//www.cricruns.com/widget/widget_livebar_2.js” type=”text/javascript”>

KKR VS Gujrat lions Match Preview

We have seen momentum shifting in T20 games frequently and instantly. How often do we see a momentum shift in points table? that too in a tournament featuring 8 teams. Only SRH has ensured a playoff berth, but unsure if they’d end up in top 2 spots. Three out of four seats are wide open including the first spot. Even RCB, Which is sitting at no2, is yet to secure a playoff’s berth.

Both Gujarat and KKR have 2 games head. Whichever team wins this match are certain to grab playoff spot. Even a loss is not curtains, but makes a playoff spot distant. Especially for Gujarat, Whose NRR is the worst of all the teams, cannot afford to dip their run rate further. Raina is set be back and lead the side after paternal leave.

Whichever team wins the toss will definitely look to bowl first, Both the teams are known to be good chasers. Even its a batting paradise, Toss winning team will not let opposition to play to their strengths. Kanpur will host this crucial encounter which is a night game.

Its seems better for Gujarat to go back  their debut opening combination, Finch and McCulumn, Finch doesn’t seem to  have adapted to fourth position well. Instead they can play Faulkner to add bowling depth and play persist with current opening partnership.

Changes are anticipated from both sides. Raina is sure to be back for Gujarat. Shivila Kaushik is also likely to fell prey to Virat’s belligrant’s against him. Andre Russell is injured and uncertain if he is fit play to play this match. In his absence Chris Lynn might get a chance. Brad Hogg might come into play in place of Sunil Narine or Morne Morkel.

Match Winner- KKR

Top scorer Gujarat- Raina

MI Vs DD Match Story

On Sunday ,Krunal Panday had an unforgettable outing against DD at Vishakhapatnam. He destroyed DD bowlers , Especially spinners ,and kept MI in contention for the playoffs. His 80 runs came off just 39 balls which included 13 boundaries. He was adjudged as man of the match without any doubt.

MI Indians lost the toss and were asked to bat. Toss became Insignificant as Rohit Sharma said that he would have batted anyways .Mumbai tried its fifth batting combination yesterday with Guptil and Rohit. MI had to rest Tim southee in order to bring Martin Guptill as only four oversees players are allowed. They rested Unmakt Chand and brought in RP Singh to compensate vacuum  of Tim Southee.

MI overcame their opening woes with their new combination. Guptil and Rohit gave a steady start which can be accounted as initial success. MI once again tinkered their batting by sending Krunal Pandya at no3. MI think tank has shown its affinity towards pinch hitting throughout the season. DD were never in the game since Krunal pandya arrived at the crease. His Century partnership with Martin Guptil can be said as the turning point of the match. Chris Morris provided respite for DD in the slog over’s and ensured that MI do not reach 220.

Delhi Dare Devils

Their plans are neither rigid nor predictable. They don’t have a set combination. They  are playing to the strengths of Opposition rather than their owns. Sam Billing might be the one has to sit out today. Quinton will definitely open if he plays, But uncertain who is going to abet him destroying Sun risers bowlers .Chris  Morris has been the most valuable player for them so far.

Sun Risers

This encounter will be played at Hyderabad, Which is a fortress for SRH. Hyderabad has got a definite edge over their counterparts. They persisted with the same eleven throughout the tournament. Though they started the season with two loses, they are sitting on top of the table. Warner Exhibited his leadership skills and led the batting department single handedly. Middle order the reason for their three losses this season. Yuvraj Singh on paper will definitely make them look stronger. Their plan seems to be fixed unlike Delhi, Perhaps they did not have to change. David Warner is definitely the man.

Ashish Reddy, Ricky Bhui, Bipul Sharma, Trent Boult, Ben Cutting, Shikhar Dhawan, Moises Henriques, Deepak Hooda, Siddarth Kaul, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Abhimanyu Mithun, Eoin Morgan, Mustafizur Rahman, Ashish Nehra, Naman Ojha, Vijay Shankar, Karn Sharma, Barinder Sran, Tirumalasetti Suman, Aditya Tare, David Warner, Kane Williamson, Yuvraj Singh, Akshath Reddy

RPS VS MI live score card

Vizag has been kind to SRH in the last match. Vizag in IPL is home ground for RPS and MI. But, only for name sake. In reality Vizag is home ground for SRH. Now Dhoni cannot afford to lose another game. Each and every outing will be a virtual final for them. Vizag is the venue where Dhoni registered his ODI score of 183.Dhoni at vizag got tremendous record leading side at India. Yes, there is still chance for RPS to make it to playoffs.

Pune, In their Last outing made 191.Dhoni started attacking with RP Singh and Ashok Dinda launched Perara following them. He relied Adam Zampa in to the attack, Who is unfamiliar to Indian Conditions .In 14th and 15th over’s, which were bowled by Perera and Rajat Bhatia respectively RPS conceded 39 runs cumulatively. Ashwin, who failed to pitch the cricket ball till 16 th over had successfully bowled the 16th over which only conceded 7 runs. Still Dhoni did not favour him to bowl any of remaining overs. Couple of months back, Ashwin was the best all-rounder and spinner in the world .

RPS is unlikely to make any changes. Usman Khwaja was unfortunate to get run out against RCB. He looked comfortable in Any conditions. He is instinctive batsmen and more over looked to play with ease, Infarct, he looked to be the most comfortable batmen in RPS team. Dhoni couldn’t have asked more from Rehane, who scored 5 fifties in this campaign and in contention for orange cap .It’s the slog overs where RPS are struggling despite having the best finisher Dhoni himself.

Sun Risers are also unambiguously got the fiercest bowling attack. Mustafizur Rehman is the best bowler so far and by a distance. David Warner is leading from the front with great performances. Yuvraj Singh’s is a big boon for SRH.

Cricinfo Predictions

Match Winner- Lay to back at least two times

Top Batsmen- David Warner

Top Batsmen RPS- Usman Khawaja

Revenge is SWEEET!!! Delhi Dare Devils will love avenge their defeat against Gujarat earlier at Feroz Shah kotla. Gujarat is the most balanced side in Vivo Ipl 09,but they have lost to minnows Punjab, Which is favourites to grab bottom position table. Whereas Delhi has topped analytics department in this year Edition of IPl. They have customized themselves to get best from opposition weaknesses. Though they have in their initial two games, they came back strongly and in positioned at 4.Now both team head against each other at Gujarat’s Home Ground.

Delhi

Delhi is certain to make more than three changes. They had predetermined strategies for different teams. Their Plans are more often working than not, De knocks form is a concern for Delhi. He is the most fancied batsmen in the team, but failed on three consecutive occasions after unbeaten century at Bangalore. With only five bowlers who can bowl, Delhi did fabulous job to restrict Kolkata in their last game. Carlos Braithwaite might make way to Imran Tahir. Few experts vouch for Shreyas Iyer despite his consecutive failures. It would be unfair on Sam billings part, to sit out after scoring a timely 50 in his IPL debut. He will sit on bench if JP Duminy is declared to be fit. JP Duminy can pitch few over’s in case of adversity for Delhi. Delhi is mentor based team than Player based.

Gujarat

Gujarat failed chasing a total for the first time. They are yet to score a huge total batting first. Their chances highly rely on their opening partnership of Brendon and Dwayne Smith which is most destructive and Successful Opening Partnership in the tournament. They might not have got the best Bowling lineup, But enough to get the job done. They are likely to play with unperturbed side.
