RCB Vs DC Live review, Ball by ball commentry

RCB VS DC Preview

Both the teams coming into the game today with momentum. DC are one win away for ensuring berth in playoffs. They have four games in hand. One is good enough for them. They have very good chances to end in top 2. Virat Kohli’s men have a different motto. They are playing just to stay in competition. If they are to win trophy, they cannot lose any game and have the mercy of rain gods as well.

Since the advent of IPl in 2008. Virat Kohli has represented RCB only.  Now he is laying against DC in his home town. Virat Kohli’s record at kotla, where he grew up playing domestic games, is impeccable.  He averages above 80 in IPL games played here. He has plenty of decision to make ahead of the match. Firstly, He has to find a replacement for Moen Ali, he left to England to play ODI’s against Pakistan.  Virat has got two options to fill in the slot. Henrich Klasan or Shimron Hetmyer. Dale Steyn is also ruled out of the tournament for remainder of IPL. This will insist Virat Kohli to include Tim Southee.

DC in persuit to top two spots

DC on the other hand has bigger plans. Usually are they not considered as favorites before the start of the tournament. But their evolution in this season improved odds against them. Kagiso Rabada is strong contender for purple cap this season. HE has pikd up 23 wickets already. With playoffs in the horizon, He is likely to break Dwayne Bravo’s record of 32 wickets in a season, provided he continues in the same Rythm.  Delhi seldom changed their batting order this season. Its their bowling altered in many instances. Chris Morris might give way to Sandeep Lamichane considering pitch conditions

Cricinfo Picks

  • Not more than 360 to be scored in the game,
  • Team batting first to win the game.
  • Virat Kohli to score more than 30

SRH vs RR Live preview, Scorecard

RR VS SRH Preview

Both the teams are yet to confirm their playoff’s berth. But SRH are definitely in better shape. Rajahasthan Royals should win all of their remaining games and expect few results come on their favor. SRH has to play only one away game in their last four games. This match is the one game. Visitors are definitely the strong contenders for this games.

Both team without Oversees players

RR has tow in all of their remaining games. This is more tough because they have to play without the services of Ben Stokes and Joffre Archer. Earlier in the tournament they have the lost the services of  Jos butler. Steve Smith has been leading the side well since he took over the reins from Rehane. This has helped RR indirectly also. Rahane , who is their crucial batsmen, Came to form. Smith Will definitely advocate to include Ashton turner in this game. This would be easy because of limited oversees resource available. Ashton Turner has scored five ducks in a row. Ish Sodhi will also get a game in this scenario. Last game for Rajahsathan Royals came in their way. Riyan Parag, who was bought at base price, is doing justice to the side. He is also a definite contender for emerging player of the year.

SRH are sitting on fourth position in points table. If they are able to continue to do so they will definitely earn a semi-final berth. But they have some work to do in their last game. Their opposition in their next games are not so strong. Luckily for them their three of last four games are at home. LIke Rajahasthan, SRH are also forced to make changes. Jonny Baistow left on national duty, which will ensure the place for Wridhiman Saha. Saha can be as good as keeper than anyone. But hard to match Baistows batting ability. Nabi will take the allrounder spot.

Cricinfo Predictions

  • Chasing team to win the match.
  • Samson to score a fifty.

Match 42: RCB Vs KXIP Live scorecard, Ball by Ball scorecard

Mumbai Indians will take on kings XI Punjab for their next match at home. Both teams have played each other this season already, Which is a home game for Punjab. Punjab comfortably chased down 176 in that game. Since then both teams had their turn around. Kings XI couldn’t chase down modest total against CSK. Its unpardonable for team to lose a small total when they lose only three wickets. It’s just that they were over confidant.

Live scorecard

Can A Joeseph do it again?

MI is coming after a win against SRH. They were able to defend a small total of 136 against Sun Risers Hyderabad, Who are very strong at home. Alzari Joesph had a dream debut on that day. He registered best ever figures in IPL with a six fer. He would have created in doubts in other franchises as well.  Opening Partnership is concerning for them, None of their couldn’t give enough starts for them. It’s their lower middle order always gave them enough support their bowling.

Can Kings XI be more Aggressive?

Though Kings XI need not worry now. They got plenty of areas to improve. They can be more aggressive while chasing a total. If they bat in similar way they might give an impression that they are inferior about their middle and lower middle order . Sam  Curran is definitely contributing in one or another to team. He seems to be a competent batsmen to bat u the order. He scored crucial 5 runs in just 3 balls when team need 11 off 6 balls. Miller is few more performances away to lose his spot. But with not a potent player to back , he can be calm.

Cricinfo picks

  • A Joseph to pick two or more wickets.
  • More than 359 runs to be scored.
  • Rahul to score a fifty.
  • Team chasing will win if score is under 200.

Match 40:Delhi Vs RR live scoreboard,

Its RR Vs DC on Monday. Lets keep aside about today’s match for some and recap of yesterdays match. What a game we have witnessed. MSD once again proved his boundary clearing abilities. He has hit farthest Six of this IPL. it went over 111 mts. When team needed 27 of last over ,he scored 25 in first five balls. But unfortunately for him Parthiv Patel ‘s direct hit costed the match. For the First time in the season RCB seemed to have luck. Though RCB won the match, MSD won the hearts of IPL fans.

Rajahasthan VS Delhi.

RR are languishing at bottom, just ahead of RCB. But with last game being ended victorious against MI, they must regain confidence. Ajinkya Rehane was sacked as captain and Steve smith is handed over the reins. Steve Smith Has highest win percentage leading the side in IPL than any other. Jos butler left the team on national duty. So they have to find a new opener for the side. While they have to win 4 in their next following games, they would like maximize with wins in next games their as oversees resources perish. Stokes and Smith will leave on respective national duties. RR has decent record at the venue, but not in this season. They have won only 2 in 5 games played here. Ashton Tuner is yet to sore a run in IPL career. He was out for a duck in his second match also.

Delhi on other hand needs to learn finishing matches.  Though the won against Punjab, they threw themselves in a situation where they could have lost the match . Rishab Pant should learn some game awareness if he is looking for spot in India team. It was him responsible for Delhi’s climax Jinx. Shreyas Iyer will showed composure in finishing the game.

Picks

  • Rajahasthan is a Chasing pitch.
  • Not more than 360 runs to be scored in first innings.

KKR VS SRH Score board, IPL predictions

After losing four games in a row, KKR needs to win 9 straight to win the title.  Their opponents today, SRH, gained some momentum with their win last game against CSK. SRH are the only team other than MI to beat CSK in this season.

It’s a day game in Hyderabad. When last time these two teams met in this season, KKR had the laugh with few humongous final overs. Going by the pitch , We are sure to have another high scoring game. Team winning the toss might chose to bat first. KKR in the last game failed to chase down 214 in last game played here.

Will SRH tick the middle order box

SRH, though they won against Chennai, it came with MSD in Chennai. Their middle order is not yet checked in their lost win. Bairstow ensured win by staying till climax of the max. Jhonny Bairstow’s form aided Kane Williamson to take rest until he regained full fitness. Now its Kane Williamson’s turn to check SRH’s middle order woes by batting through.

CAn Russel Finish off this time?

KKR started off the season well. But the lost four games on trot. Kuldeep’s out of form could be the main reason for their failure. He was wicket less in four games until he picked up Moen Ali in an over after conceding 27 runs. With Bigger Boundaries in Hyderabad, He can feel more secure. Harry Gunrey produced a man of the match performance in his debut. But since then he is hardly effective an conceding runs at regular pace. Nitesh Rana and Andre Russell Almost sealed the match in last game . Slow first ten overs is the reason for their loss. Robin Uthappa cannot score 10 runs in 20 balls especially while chasing in excess of 200.

IPL Predictions

  • Warner to score fifty.
  • Kuldeep to pick wickets
  • KKR to win the match

MI vs RR Ball by ball commentary, Live score board

Its MI vs RR in the first double header on Saturday. MI are sitting at second place with 6 wins out of their nine game. RR on the other hand languishing at the bottom at number 7 spot. Yet their performance doesn’t reflect their position. They have 4 close games which could have come in their way. Its a home game for RR, so this a great opportunity to Royals to get back to winning ways after losing two games, where they seemed to have found Rhythm

Is Ben Stokes fit to play?

Ben Stokes missed the game against KXIP due to illness. If he is ready to play. More than two changes are expected in RR in order to maintain balance. Aston Turner had a forgettable debut. It’s unfair on him if he get dropped. When he arrived at the crease in the last game. HE has no option to go after the bowling He is the highest run getter for Perth scorchers in the last season. And his knock of Eighty in fourth ODI against India is still very fresh in fans minds’. SO Ish Sodhi will have to  sacrifice for  Ben Stokes. And to balance the change Krishnappa Gowtham will replace out of from Jaydev Unadkt.

Hardhik Pandya is the differentiating factor between sides in many Mumbai wins. But there are only few over’s left when he is arriving at the crease. Only opportunity can tell the damage he can do when sent earlier. His strike rate is only next to Andre Russell in the tournament. Jason Beherendoff had to sit out to let  Ben cutting in to the squad. Ben Cutting failed to perform in place of Ishan Kishan. If Ishan Kishan if fit, he will resume his duties.

Prediction

  • RR to win the game.
  • Not more than 360 to be score in the game.

MI Vs DC Scoreboard, Will MI avenge their loss ?

MI vs  DC Scoreboard


Mumbai are back to winning ways after winning against RCB in last game at Whankade. No they will take lay against Delhi in away game. Rohit Sharma joined the team in the match against RCB after missing out for a  game. Delhi pitch is a two faced wicket, So its not predictable.  Both the teams are have equal points and a win will make them closer to CSK. who are sitting at top with 14 points, by 2 points.

Will Rohit compensate his failures?

Rohit wasn’t able to convert his starts in to big ones this season. Despite his avg start in last game against RCB. MI’s Lowers order has responded well. Ishan Kishan and Surya Kumar Yadav has performed well ,but let the team down in persevere situation. For the time being they will hold on to their place. But MI has got too much power in the lower order. With their lower order Mumbai can be bit more aggressive. Alzari Joeeph is rested for the last game and his rest is likely to prolong. Malinga will hold his spot in his absence. Mumbai’s aim is to avenge their defeat at Whankade.

Delhi are looking a like strong contender for title after many season. They are sitting at number two position, Which could have surprised them as well.  Still there could be scope for improvement. Replacing Ingram with Collin Munro seems to have worked. Munro bludgeoned the ball from ball one he faced, which indirectly reduced pressure on Shikhar Dhawan. But in contrast to MI, DC’s lower order seems very fragile. Rishab Pant reckless shorts in climax has costed them few games. Now he is not being selected for WC squad. He should focus to score runs. Rabada is player of the season for Delhi until now. He grabbed seventeen scalps in just eight games.

Match 32: SRH vs CSK Ball by Ball updates from hyderabad

CSK has only lost one game in this entire tournament. Now they are the team with most number of wins in IPL along with MI. But CSK surely a better side because the number of matches played. Due to then ban of two years they played only 180 games. MI on other side is the first team to complete 200.

Can CSK continue to do it with out Bravo?

CSK won’t look to alter their side. Why would a team change its side when they are on a winning trot. Imran Tahir is having his best IPL till date. His strike is bet this season. He is picking up a wicket for every 13 balls he is bowling. His performance is becoming crucial especially in the absence of Dwayne bravo. Dwayne Bravo has 100 scalps in 78 games. Surely a player of his caliber will be missed by any team on any day. But with Tahir’s form CSK are able to compensate. CSK lead the points column by healthy margin of four points.

SRH are after a two back to back  bad games.  They collapsed while chasing modest totals. What more can you ask from a player who scored a century and five fifties in just seven games. But it isn’t  enough for SRK. Their bowling is as usually on the mark. But their are not complemented by batting despite good starts provided by openers. Kane Williamson was back in the side in place of Mohammed nabi in the last game. It was a poor decision which costed them a game in last match. Sending Ricky Bhui was sent at crucial time a head many established players. Which caused pressure to creep on David Warner and other batsmen.

History is in favour of CSK. CSK won eight matches out of ten matches. CSK are strong favorites for this match

Predictions

  • Team batting first to win the match
  • David Warner to score more than 45 runs.

MI vs RCB Live score card, Ball by Ball commentry

Get Ready for the run feast

RCB has finally won a game after losing seven games consecutively. RCB has still hope left to make it to play off. But they have to do it seven more times , which they are not used. All wins from here will seal a playoff berth for them. Whankade will host the match. We all now Whankade is a high scoring venue. With Weak RCB’s Bowling and Strong MI’s batting. Expect More than 200 if MI bats first.

Injury Concerns for MI
ALzari Joeseph, Who registered career best in IPL on his debut, is ruled out for the reminder of IPL due to shoulder injury. With Malinga also not available, MI’s most preferable choice would be Mitchell McClenighan. MI has no concerns for them until now. They got the best lower order in the league . They also have competent top order which can be relied upon.

Can RCB stay in contention for some more time

RCB is the only team can be picked as odd one out in the tournament. RCB has no option to chase if they win the toss. With average score being 192 here. RCB would be happy giving anything under 210 with the bowling attack they have. Navdeep Saini is the only bowler seemed to be okay. Kohli stuck to SIraj despite his poor performances. Fielding is the area for RCB where scope for improvement is huge. Virat Kohli himself involved many drop catches. Parthiv Patel looks to be the waek link in the batting. But he is the only who over performed this season. We witnessed a contest between Navdeep Saini and Hardhik Pandya when last time these two teams met at Bangalore

Cricinfo Picks

  • Team Chasing to win the match.
  • Expect more than two hundred runs to be scored by team batting first.
  • Bumrah to pick more than a wicke
