Match 29, RCB VS KKR Preview , Live Score

KKR VS RCB

There is nothing much to distinguish betweeeb the sides at this juncture. But Still KK looks strong contenders for the top 4. They would be pushed down if SRH loses against Rajahasthan Royals in first of double header today. KKR’s ex skipper is also not having great time either. Gautham Gambhir has relinquished his captaincy before the last game against KKR. Shreyas iyer had a great start as captain.

Royal challengers Bangalore

Royal challengers have worst economy of all the teams. They concede @9.70 runs per over. This contributes most of their woes.  Though they won last game, they cannot afford to play with unchanged bowling line up. They lack impact bowler who can take wickets as well as contain in the middle order. They conceded 50 runs when CSK required them in just 3 overs.      Moen Ali can come in to the team. But that would further deteroite their bowling. May be they should take it granted that their top three would certainly fire in every game.

Kolkata knight raiders

Chris Lynn was absolute disaster in the tournament. Only significant score he made in the tournament was 74 against Punjab. Sunil narine is the only in top 3 looked certain to fire. Nitesh Rana is a huge asset to fill the slot of uncapped player. Shubham Gill is unfortunate for not getting a proper chance.  His U19 contemporary Prithwi Shah is having dream start to IPl career. Robin Uthappa is just 39 runs aay from finishing 4000 runs in IPl. If he does the same, he would also complete 2000 runs for KKR

At chinnaswamy stadium both team are having even record. Both the teams won on 4 occasions each.

Head-Head

Match won by Kolkata-9

Matches won by RCB- 9

Cricinfo Predictions

RCB to win the game.

In excess of 360 runs to be scored on game day.

Ab De Villiers to score fifty.

Match 28, SRH VS RR Live score, Preview

SRH Vs RR Preview

On April 29 Rajahasthan Royals will lock horns with in form Sunrises Hyderabad. Rajahasthan Royals will have the best chance against Hyderabad, Playing away from home. We are going the week where every game has been nail biting. SRH pulled out few low scoring games, which is quite unusual in T20 format. They won against strong teams like MI and KXIP.

Batting has been still a concern for Hyderabad. But they have continued to do well as they always do. Kane Williamson is handling the team exceptionally well in the absence of David Warner. Shikhar Dhwan should step up and help Williamson score big. Unlike Day night games,  Team winning the toss will look forward to bat first. It gets extremely difficult to chase after fielding in scorching sun. Irrespective time of games, Jaipur pitch has been good pitch to bat on.

RR’s batting Vs SRH bowling.

No team has been successful playing SRH bowlers. Only Chris Gayle handled SRH bowling with ease. No other team felt comfortable at the middle. RR might include Darcy short at the top to strengthen batting. With Jofree Archer performance in last game, Dacry short might get a go ahead of Henrich Klasen, who has no aided to Rajahasthan .Moreover Short should not be considered as failure because he was run out on two of his opportunities. Krishnappa Gowtham ,Karnataka palyer, proved what he is capable of in finishing games.  Ajinkaya Should also lead from front with his batting. It can be said that Ben stokes has not done justice to his price tag. But he was involved in crucial partnership with Sanju Samson. Jos Butler is also huge asset down the order. Him opening the batting along with Ajinkya Rehane cannot be ruled out. He had experience of opening the batting for England .

At the current juncture, SRH loon unstoppable. They wont experiment as they were only couple wins ways from Playoffs berth.

Cricinfo Predictions

Team batting first will win the match.

Ben stokes to score fifty.

Rashid Khan to pick three or more wickets.

Delhi VS KKR match preview


Delhi’s skipper Gautham gambhir has given a huge shock ahead of the match against Kolkata Knight Raiders. Gautham gambhir has steeped down as captain . Shreyas Iyer has been appointed as the skipper for remainder of the series. Gautham gambhir also said that there is absolutely no pressure from the team management. Delhi had another blow with their ace all-rounder Chris Morris has been ruled for rest of the tournament. His country Dala has been announced as the replacement Player,

KKR is coming after a hiatus of almost one week. They are the team had a mixed tournament. They look and performed way better than the points stable suggest. Good news for them is Chris Lynn scored 74 runs in their last outing. They lost in the rain effected game against Punjab.  They now have has the best chance to regain the Momentum as Delhi are struggling at the bottom. Delhi doesn’t have the X factor player.

Delhi cannot change its team combination much despite losses. They are facing injury woes. So Only change could be is Shabaz Naddem replacing Amit Mishra, who failed in last game. Prithwi Shah might get another go by the way he presented on IPL debut. Jason Roy is still uncertain to play the game

Only concern for KKR is Andre Russell’s Fitness. He went off the field during his last game, against KKR. He had issues with hamstring in the past. So KKR wouldn’t fancy him to play if he is not 100% fit.

Piyush Chawla has huge Success against Glenn Maxwell.

This is Piyush Chawla’s 200th game.

Head to Head

DD Vs KKR

Total matches held-20

Matches won by KKR-13

Matches won by DD-7

M22,KXIP VS DD, Live score card

Kings XI Punjab Vs Delhi Daredevils

Delhi Dare Devils should look to change their fortune during their home leg. Their home leg will start from Tuesday against Kings XI. Having won only one out of five games in the tournament. Delhi’s fortunes are slowly descending in this year edition.  They are the only team yet to register their second win in the tournament.

Kings IX Punjab

Chris Gayle is not available for the game against  Delhi. Kings would not take chance if he is not 100 percent fit. Aron Finch will have a chance to open the batting with Lokesh Rahul. David Miller will come into the middle order to fill the void. If Kings post in excess of 160, it would be par score. But considering their bowling performance , Punjab need 10 runs more. Their wicket taking bowlers are also ineffective some times. Mayank Agarwal has been in great form and would love to bat when opportunity is given. Mohit Manipal Sharma is still unfit to play Ankit Rajpoot might get another go

Delhi Dare Devils

Delhi Should not play conservative cricket now. they should go on and express themselves. Unfortunately they are forced to make changes. Jason Roy and Chris Morris are not fit to play. Dan Christian and Liam Plunket are the ones to get a chance in the place of unavailable players. Delhi couldn’t defend 174 against RCB. Delhi Cannot complain much about their oversees players. Concern is from Local players including the captain Gambhir himself. Gambhir plays fro Delhi in Domestic Season. So this is his best chance to break the shackles.

Cricinfo Prediction(Kings XI Punjab VS Delhi Dare Devils)

Ankit Rajpoot to pick two or more wickets.

Rishabh Pant to score a fifty.

Delhi is a small ground. So we might have a high scoring game.

Matches won by CSK-4.

Matches won by SRH-2.

At Rajiv Gandhi intl stadium, 2 matches were held between SRH and CSK. It’s even Stevens until now having both teams won each game. Rashid Khan is already accustomed to pitch. But he was absolutely demolished by Chris Gayle in his last game. Probably it was Rashid Khans worst game in his international Career.

Shikhar Dhawan was retired hurt in the game against KXIP. He might not play this game as well. this might change SRH’s combination. They might look to make an uncapped player to open the batting. Ricky Bhui is strong contender for the slot.

CSK also has injury issues. Imran Tahir is not fit and won’t play the game. Faf Du Plesis might get a game in his absence. Rayudu might be pulled down the order considering to the change.

SRH has struggled chasing when they were asked to chase par score. So CSK would consider themselves to win if they post 170.

Now all the teams winning the toss are chasing.  Only couple of games are won by batting first teams in the tournament. There is a chance of rain, hence team winning toss will be more inclined to chase.

Cricinfo predictions( SRH VS CSK)

Team batting Second will win the match.

Shane Watson to pick up three or more wickets.

Match 19: RCB VS DD Live score card

RCB VS DD Live score

RCB and DD are the two teams always fight for the bottom place of table. Causes for their concern is different. RCB struggling with their bowling. They conceding an average of 190 per innings this season, On the flip side Delhi is struggling with their top Order. They have won only against Mumbai this season. That win wasn’t easy as well

Kohli Vs Gambhir

Both of them have lot of similarities. Both the cricketers hail from Delhi. Both of them are aggressive in nature. As we know like poles repel, both of them have on field issues in the past. By now Kohli might have been accustomed to be at bottom. But it’s completely new for Gambhir. He was a successful captain when he lead KKR.

RCB might have to rethink their strategy. They might send Sarfaraz ahead of AB De Villiers. Sarfaraz has been struggling with touch in the last three games. Asking him to take the lower order might increase onus of him. Him coming up the order might calm his nerves

There is fourteen percent chance of rain. Teams might take advantage of the toss looking into the weather  forecast.

Delhi has lot of form concerns. Chris Morris is going through a lean patch. Glenn Maxwell isn’t is great Shape either.  Shammi  was brutally handled by Andre Russell in the last game. Shreyas Iyer ,who opened the batting for Delhi  previous season, has been pushed  down due to Gambhir returning to Delhi. Gambhir has struggled to make an impact this season.

Dan Christian who provided important breakthrough against Mumbai, Might regain his place in place of Chris Morris. RR fell short of 60 runs while chasing against KKR in their Last game.

Royal Challengers Bangalore Vs Delhi Devils Predictions.

Team Chasing will win the match.

Rishabh Pant to score fifty.

SRH VS KXIP Preview, Scorecard

SRH VS KXIP Preview

SRH are the only team to be yet to be beaten in this year edition of IPL. They are Even unbeaten at the toss as well.  Only box they have yet to check the box in this edition is defending a total. They never opted to bate after winning three consecutive Loss.  This is the last game in this IPL Mohali will host. All the remaining home games of Punjab will be moved to Chandigarh.

Head to Head

KXIP Vs SRH.

Total matches played– 10

Matches KXIP won – 2

Matches SRH Won – 8

Can KXIP disturb SRH’s form?

SRH’s form is not just confined to this IPL. They have been continuing this form for the last two years. Kings IX are also improved version. They have the potential to disturb any side. Ashwin is also a street smart skipper.  They have also inform Chris Gayle to open the batting. Whenever Chris Gayle has been side lined, he always proved what he is capable of.  KL Rahul is emulating KXIP coach in batting. He is also succesful in doing so. Sehwag was never bothered about situation and played flamboyantly . Aron finch is yet to score in this IPL even after two game. Finch failing thrice is a rarity. His form can be crucial for KXIP in future games. Mayank Agarwal is also continuing good form from domestic circuit. He is pushed down the order after Chris Gayle was included in the squad.

ALL Round SRH

SRH’s bowlers never let their batsman struggle. They always restricted their opposition to chasable total. But their batsmen were  nervous while chasing against Mumbai. If Kings XI post a challenging total, SRH would need to devise new strategy.

Cricinfo Predictions

Kane Williamson to score fifty.

Chris Gayle to score Fifty.

Whichever team wins the toss will look to bat first.

Delhi Daredevils Vs Kolkata Knight Riders Live score


Delhi Dearedevils finally won a game in this tournament after two starting with two straight losses. They chased 190+ score in their last game against Mumbai. Nobody had thought that Delhi would win after the humiliation they faced while Mumbai batted in first six overs.

Gautham Gambhir Vs Kolkata Knight Raiders

Gambhir is the one who changed the fate of Kolkata Knight Raiders. KKR tasted excellent results under his reigns. Before Gambhir took the leadership, KKR had been underdogs for most of the time.  Finally Gambhir came to place where he started, Delhi Daredevils. Delhi showed their fighting spirit at Whankade. They chased a above par total at Mumbai. They had the chance of chasing high score considering the pitch at Whankade. Jason Roy replaced Collin Munro, in the last game. He straight away made his presence felt. He always had assistance from Mumbai pitch. He made decent performance in t20 world cup held last year. His form will definitely make opposition wary. Gautham Gambhir is yet to regain Momentum in this tournament. He missed out scoring high on a ripper, Mumbai pitch.

Battles to watch out for.

KKR had a huge loss in the form of Mitchell starc. He was ruled out of tournament with injury. This would have been his first season not playing for RCB.

Gambhir VS Mitchell Johnson.

Piyush Chawala Vs Glenn Maxwell.

Sunil Narine is just one wicket away to complete 100 wickets. Lasith Malinga and Dwayne Bravo are the other two players who achieved this feat.

It’s been very Long since Delhi had won at Eden gardens. It was in 2012 when Delhi won against KKR at eden gardens.

Cricinfo Predictions

Team Chasing will win the game.

Chris Lynn to score 50.

Gautham Gambhir to score 50.

Match 11: RCB VS RR Live score card

RCB VS RR Live score card

Both RCB and RR  started the tournament with ,But recovered well in their second matches. Rajahasthan Royals should be aware that their win came out of Duckworth Lewis. Both teams would want to retain Momentum. Even after 10 matches of tournament, Team batting first is yet to win a match. Despite some high scores, Team batting second chased  all of them successfully.

Which team will continue their Momemtum?

Good news for RCB is Quinton De Kock performed in matched against Kings XI. But Brendon McCollum, who performed in first game where Quinton De Kock missed out, missed on this occasion. RCB would love to see both their openers fire up the order. RCB’ bowling is looking like a weak link. Their Bowling is still looking Innocuous even after re shuffle of teams. But their batting is strong enough to compete. RCB home record in recent times is pathetic. They overcame it in their last home game. A second consecutive win will definitely make their record decent.

Darcy short had a disastrous tournament so far. But his credentials cannot be challenged. He was ran out on both the Occasions. Rehane was on the other end on both the occasions. So both RR players should be wary while running between wickets. Ben Stokes came at No3 in their last game. Which clearly reflects the intent of RR. They want to make their best batsman face more deliveries.

Sanju Samson is facing stiff competition from his contemporaries. Rishabh Pant and Ishan Kishan expressed their skill in last game. But Samson stands out in terms of techniques. Other two seem like more of sloggers. Sanju Samson has decent defensive technique.

Cricinfo Predictions

Umesh Yadav to take two or more wickets.

Quinto De Kock to score a fifty.

Team Chasing will win the match.

IPL 2018,MI Vs DD ,Live Score

MI VS DD Preview

Now is one of the teams turn to open their points column. Both team haven’t opened their account yet. to an extent they can be said to be unfortunate. MI ,Especially fought until last ball in both of the cases. Delhi was also unfortunate in their second game, against RR, to lose points in rain effected game.

Gautham Gambhir Vs Rohit Sharma

It is also a contest between two captains.  Both are successful  in IPL as captains’. Both won two titles for their respective teams in the past. Rohit Sharma is in a better position as he is playing with his regular team. While Gautham Gambhir has got new set of players to gel with.

Hardhik Was seen practising  at Whankade. So Mumbai might revert back to the team they played in firs game. Ben Cutting is likely return to bench. Mitchell McClenighan might come in to the squad in order to give balance.

Ewin Lewis missed out big in last game after cameo at the start. Rohit Sharma is due for a big inning already. Surya Kumar Yadav is doing justification to his role as uncapped player to the fullest. ALL Uncapped players Krunal Pandya, Markand and Yadav . But the senior pro’s are not giving enough support.

Delhi has strong all-round side. Definitely a better team than previous editions . Glenn Maxwell return to squad will strengthen the batting. We all know he can win the game in a giphy.

Delhi might also change their side. Considering the metrics of the pitch they might expel a spinner. Shabaaz Nadeem is likely to be the one to face the brunt of Rahul Tewatia in the playing IX. Rahul Tewatia is also known for his batting skills.

Cricinfo Predictions

MI to win the match.

Hardhik Pandya to take two or more wickets.

Match 8,RCB VS Kings IX Punjab Preview

RCB VS Kings IX Punjab Preview     

RCB had a forgettable Match against RCB at Eden Garden. RCB definitely missed Mitchell stark. This is the first match to be held in Bangalore in this year Edition.

Quinton de Kock himself is the only one to be blamed for his reckless dismissal against KKR. We witnessed him opening he batting also with Brednon McCullumn. Brendon McCullumn has reached 9000 run mark in T20, second only to Chris Gayle. Brendon also scored quick fire 44 against KKR. We Expect opening combination to be unchanged. RCB never let the run rate slip away despite falling of wickets against KKR. Nitesh Rana turned out to be  Villain for the challengers in Match2. He dismissed Virat and AB De Villiers were dismissed in two consecutive deliveries. Challengers will stick to their five bowler theory.

Kings IX tasted successful immediately after Ashwin was appointed as skipper at the helm. We can expect their approach until Shewag will be the coach. But they will be underdogs for this match. Aron FInch couldn’t playing in the first match due to his marriage. But he unlikely to disturb winning combination.

Ashwin had 14 unsuccessful attempts to dismiss Virat Kohli. Hope he breaks his record .Umesh Yadav has good success against Kings IX, but it was when he represented KKR.

Cricinfo Predictions

RCB to win the match.

Quinton De Kock to score a fifty.

Team batting second will win the match.
