IPL Final: SRH Vs CSK Live cricket score,Preview

Sunrisers Hyderabd Vs Chennai Super Kings Live cricket score, Preview


Two south Indian nations will lock horns for the championship title on Sunday. We are just few hours away from having the final winner of Eleventh edition. Whankade will host the final of 2018 edition of IPL. We had all last over turnaround in all the three games of play offs. We will either have Hyderabad or Chennai hosting next year final of IPL.

Whankade is full of runs. Chasing is the best option here. This is against SRH’s principle as they are good defenders. So it’s easy to figure out that SRH will bat irrespective of winning or losing the toss. Rashid Khan , Sandeep Sharma, Sakhib Ul Hasan ,Carlso Braithwaite , its hard to find a weak link in the line up. Bowling is their prime strength in bowling. Especially Rashid Khan is making batsmen sweat. Batting is Achilles heel of SRH.  They are dependent of Captain Kane Williamson. But he was unable to do replicate same performance in playoffs.  Dhawan should fire along with Kane Williamson in final. It’s important for Shakhib and Yusuf pathan to do their part. CSK will weigh SRH’s order more because of Rashid’s last performance. Rahid took 21 wickets so far only next to Andrew tye from Punjab.

Live telecast details

Catch all the live action on Star sports HD1.

This is 7th final CSK is part of. We should mind that this is only their 9th edition they are participating. But they only won twice. This implicates CSK’s win percentage in final is poor. Rayudu is the performer of the season for them. Unlike SRH, they came directly into final. Shane Watson should be wary as he was out for golden duck in their last game. Chennai is almost certain to play with unchanged squad. They did not use Harbhajan despite him being in XI. Karn Sharma will be the one if to replace Harbhajan SIngh

Cricinfo Predictions

Team chasing to win the game.

Rayudu to score a fifty.

Rashid Khan to pick two or more wickets.

Qualifier 2: KKR Vs SRH Live score card

Will SRH have an another shot to avenge CSK in final? All the three teams in contest have already won the tournament twice. Now we will certainly have a three time champion.

  • SRH’s hopes on Williamson and its bowlers.
  • KKR in cloud 9.
  • Qualifier 2 between KKR and SRH.

SRH is on a losing spree. They have lost four matches in a row They threw away the match which was there for the takings. Yet they were the table toppers in the league stage. Sunrises bowlers did wonders to the side. But ODDS are against them. Their bowlers did their best in their last game. Its batsmen who has to be blamed for not providing enough total to bowlers. Middle order is only weak link in SRH. Shikhar Dhawan was golden duck out against CSK in Playoffs. This opened the gates for fragile middle order.

Journey of Kolkata Knight Raiders.

Kolakata’s story is completely contrast to SRH’s. They have only 5 in first 11 games. But are back on track with four consecutive victories. Even their last performance was complete opposite to SRH. While SRH threw the game against CSK, KKR grabbed the game for RR in last phase. Kolkata is a complete package. There isn’t an area where KKR can be pointed at. Chir Lynn hasnt played to his full potential. But his moderate form can fetch a place for him in any side. Like in Mumbai, all their uncapped player are being assett to the team. Prasindh Krishna churned to be excellent fast bowler. All his wickets came between over 16-20. They will play with an unchanged side.

Facts

Bhuvaneswar Kumar is the fourth bowler o pick up 100 wickets for a single franchise. Malinga, Harbhajan and Narine ar brfore him.

Cricinfo Predictions

KKR to win the game

  • Sunil Narine to pick 2 or more wickets.
  • Catch all the live action on Star sports HD1.

Test: England Vs Pakistan Live cricket score

England Vs Pakistan Live cricket score


English boys left IPL and are set to resume national duty. England will play their first test against Pakistan on Ma 24th. Pakistani players are participating this after a playing a test match against England. So they should have been accustomed to English Conditions. Cricketing Fraternity has heard a bad news yesterday. A B De Villliers, best batsmen in this generation, as announced his retirement from all forms of international cricket. This broke many hearts irrespective of nations. One more bad news for cricket lovers is Injury of Virat Kohli. Virat is suffering from neck injury and will neither play English county nor series against England. This is the first major injury since he started playing for India.

Where to watch test match between England and Pakistan?

If you are from India catch the live action on Sony Six.

Can Pakistan Successfully spin?

We Know Pakistan has Shadab khan to spin. But whats more threatening who is mentoring him. Abdul Qadir, Legendary le spinner, is seen Pakistan’s dugout. It is tough to predict the playing Xi of both the sides. Azar Ali will share the opening crease with Imanm ul Haq . Mohammed Abbas might be given a nod. Abbas or Hassan Ali will share the new ball with Md Aamir. Amir is ominous on English conditions where ball swings above par. Fakhar Zaman and Rahat Ali might be restricted to bench.

Dominic Bess to Debut?

We might see a Débutante from Englsih camp. Dominic Bess,20 year old from somerset, will make his debut. He is fortunate to share the ball with the likes of Anderson and Stuart Broad. Jos Butler retained his place along with his fellow WK  Jonny Bairstow. Mark Stonesaman might open the batting with Alasteir cook despite few failures.

Cricinfo Prediction

Alaister cook to score fifty in first innings.

Aamir to take a five wicket hall.

Eliminator: KKR VS RR Live score, Preview

ELiminator between KKR and RR

It’s time for Survival for both KKR and RR in the eliminate one. Eden Gardens will host the first Eliminator between third and fourth teams.  RR did not win a game since 2008 at Eden Garden. KKR are strong side, especially at  home. Winner of this match will play against SRH in Qualifier 2 at this same venue.

Though they have lost shape in middle of season. They gained the momentum before the start of Play offs with two straight wins.  If you weigh their batting and bowling, Their batting is the main cause for Success. That doesn’t mean their bowling is bad. Their bowlers performed above par in more than 50 % of games. Dinesh Karthik was the black horse in KKR team. He has performed in every given opportunity. He has never been in knock out situation in their tournament. They will same with same IX, in fact KKR is the first team to yield maximum from four foreign players. Dinesh Karthik os lucky to have such a strong side.

Can RR create an upset?

RR’s success story is completely contrast to KKR’s story. Their success was dependent of other’s weakness. They did not have great  season at the start but recovered with the help their oversees pros BEn stokes and Jos Butler. Jos Butler completely changed opposition perception on RR since he was sent in as opener. But unfortunately for them Jos Butler left India on national Duty. RR won their last game without English players against RCB. RR should look for another opener after sending Joe Archer as opener backfired.

Key Players

Joefrey Archer.

Since inclusion of Joefry Archer , RR’s fate has changed. Not because he is lucky charm, His performance project otherwise. They can restrict KKR to low score if he can shackele Andre Rusell at the end.

Cricnfo Predictions

Joefrey Archer to pick two or wickets.

Qualifier One: CSK VS SRH Preview, Live score

We entered in to play offs of IPL 2018. CSK will lock horns with SRH in the first Qualifier for the playoffs. SRH might end up in the top spot, but momentum is against them. CSK are red hot favourites for the qualifier one.

Can sunrisers continue their Supremacy?

  • Two teams eyeing for play offs.
  • Rejuvinated CSK side under Dhoni.
  • Qualifier 1 between CSK and SRH.

Sun Risers  dominated in most part of the play offs. But the climax was not satisfying. They are playing after two straight loses against RCB and KKR . They should play fearless cricket as it won’t be end of the road for them. They should surely look to defend the total in any case. Though their bowling is strong only when they are defending. They are one of the worst bowling attacks when bowling first. They are the only franchise to conceded three centuries, all came while chasing, in IPL.

Williamson VS CSK bowlers

Williamson is the show stopper of the season for SRH. He alone scored 661 runs for his hteam. None of their batsmen was able to score half of his runs. He hardly made absence of David Warner felt. Kane is equally responsible as bowling for SRh’s Success in this tournament. Yusuf Pathan continued his bad form from where he left of in last year’s IPL. Manish pandey seem to be have forgotten playing cricket. They have the weakest Middlr order in the season.

Can Rayudu continue his authority on the field?

He has untouchable on the field. His body language completely changed after he was sent into open the batting.. He once gain proved this ipl why is regarded as one of unfortunate Indian cricketers.

Cricinfo Predictions

CSK to win the match

Rayudu to score fifty if CSK chases.

Facts

Siddtharth Kaul is the leading wicket taker for Chennai.

Ambati Rayudu is Leading run scorer for CSK.

Match 56, KXIP vs CSK Live score

KXIP VS CSK Live score, Preview

This is one of the best ipl’s we have witnessed so far. We are into the last game of the leagues, yet a playoff berth is wide open. Both the teams have purpose to play.

CSK wouldn’t like to miss the second spot, which could be possible if they beat KXIP. Whole team hasn’t had a training session since their last game against Delhi at feroz shah kotla. This indicates they might play with unchanged 11. Rayudu’s fifty went in vein as none of their colleagues lent enough support to give their team two points. News from grapevine is Faf du plesis might replace Shane Watson,if he is not enough fit to play.

Can Rahul’s Form sustain further?

Irrespective of which team to support,you got to feel for KL Rahul, his phenomenal form is not backed by his teams. He answered critics,who frowned about his price tag, with bat.cricket is team game, He was able to win matches when he got support from Chris Gayle. A Simple win cannot do the job for Kings XI. It has to be big to climb over Rajahasthan royals in terms of net run rate.

Pitch conditions are against the odds of kings XI Punjab. Punjab has lost five games of the six they have played here. Yuvraj Singh might be replaced by Karun Nair after the loss against Mumbai

Nothing unusual when you look record between two teams. CSK has leading 10-7 .
Personal battles to watch out for
Good news for Kings is ,inform batsmen Rayudu was dismissed most by now KXIP bowlers, Mohit and Ravi Ashwin.
Personal mile stones
Chris Gayle is just 10 runs away to complete 4k runs IPL.
MS Dhoni also nearing similar milestone
Cricinfo President
KXIP Punjab to lose the match.
Lokesh Rahul to receive orange cap.

Not more than 300 runs is expected in this game.

KKR Vs SRH Live score

With RCB out of contention,Few teams can have sigh of relief.Even RR bagged two points against RCB ,they run rate could play spoilsport for them. Especially for KKR, they could make it to play off even they lose this closely.

Can number one team in points end the league with a win?

SRH might have ended the league at top position, they lost their way at the end. It could be blessing in disguise for them if the check few more boxes before entering in to finals. Manish Pandey has found some shape in last game against RCB. But his partnership with Kane Williamson couldnt present his team a win.SRH fell short of 14 runs while chasing a mamoth total of 217 runs.

Can KKR seal  play off berth like CSK and SRH?

Unlike RR, KKR can seal play offs unconditionally if they win against SRH. They even have a chance to end up in top two if CSK lose their next game. This match will test leadership ability of Dinesh karthik. His first challenge would be shortlisting final XI. We can assume he will play with unchanged side by his unwillingness to change playing XI throughout the tournament.
If KKR play with same side. Their major Tash would be using Shivam manvi. He has bee vulnerable at times. Fortunately for KKR kuldeep Yadab ha returned to form just before the play offs. Though Chris Lynn is his unconventional cticket, he is doing enough job to take KKR over the line.
At this venue it’s even Stevens for both the teams. both the teams have won two games each.
Shikhar Dhawan is lowest against KKR. This is his best chance repair at as he will not be playing under pressure.

Cricinfo predictions

Alex Hales to score century.
ManishPandey to bat up the order.
Basil Thampi to be replaced by Bhuvaneswar Kumar.

CSK Vs DD Live score card, IPL 2018, Match 52

CSK VS DD live scorecard


Tournament is still wide open for all the teams except for Delhi. While CSK already confirmed a berth but yet to confirm a place in top two spots. Delhi has the chance to play spoilsport in CSK’s chances. Since they are already out of of the tournament they should play game carefree.  Gautham Gambhir’s Relinquishment of his captaincy hasn’t changed their fortunes much. Delhi has one thing to raise collar. They have introduced young talent internationally. Abhishek Sharma ,debuted in last match, showed his potential in last game. He style is replica of Quinton De Kock’s batting. His timing seems to be world class.

Can Pant and Shreyas do it for Delhi?

Despite many performances Rishabh Pant’s and Shreyas Iyer’s contributions ended up fruitless. Pant has to improve in one aspect. He is often involved in run outs than anyone else. Iyer has been scoring but not often sufficient to take the team cross the line. Delhi might want to test in bench strength. Carlos Brathwaite should be given a chance. One more aspect Delhi should look to improve is run rate in first 10 overs. They are being too cautious and afraid of losing wicket.

Can CSK secure berth in Qualifier?

This is comeback season for CSK. They are fortunate enough to cover up when one of the department’s failed. Rayudu, Part of CSK this season, secured a place in England’s tour. Deepak Chahar has comback into team after recovering from injury. Now Dhoni need not worry about uncapped player to be included in the past. Dhoni has this knack of picking uncapped player. Mohit Sharma and Ishwar Pandey are similarly discovered by Dhoni in Previous Seasons.

Cricinfo Predictions

Chennai to win the match convincingly.

Shane Watson to score a fifty.

IPL 2018: RCB VS SRH, Match 51,Live score, Preview

RCB’s journey has not finished. Though they have not played much. Other matches yielded results in their favour. Third and fourth spots are wide open yet. As of now the equation is very similar, they need to win both the matches. They have to be cautios because one of their matches is against table toppers, SRH.

Can RCB make surprise playoff?

RCB has the best chance because they have the better Net run rate. Their win in last match against Punjab took thei net runrate to another level so that they need not bother about NRR unlike other contenders.

Kohli VS Sandeep Sharma

Sandeep Sharma has got better of Kohli than anyone else. Sandeep Sharma has dismissed Kohli 5 times in the 33 deliveries he bowled to him. But his strike rate is 169. But Kohli has scored more runs than anyone else against SRH. If he fends Sandeep Sharma, we will certainly see a huge score from Kohli. De Villiers has contributed by winning few matches single handedly this season. Since Parthiv Patel’s inclusion, RCB’s batting line up is no more vulnerable. Parthiv patel is able give good enough startrs to RCB. RCB chased down 88 without any loss of wicket.

Umesh Yadav is the second highest wicket taker in power plays this season. Mitchell McClenighan, Kiwi,is the only bowler ahead of him. Chahal picked two crucial wickets against DD at RCB’s home ground. RCB might ponder about opening the boeling with Chahal again as Alex Hales is good at playing spin.

SRH has a day to forget in their last game. Ambati Rayudu took away the game from .Being best bowling line up. They shelled high runs at times. Three centuries are scored against SRH. They might not change their side considering they are just two games away from play offs.

Cricinfo Predictions

Team Chasing to win the match.

Virat Kohli to score fifty.

Match 50: Mumbai VS Punjab Live scorecard

Mumbai and Punjab had contrasting starts to the tournament. Yet they fight for playoff berth at this juncture. Mumbai’s journey had been no different to their usual journey
First they lose as many as they could. But they somehow manage to sneak into play offs. Mumbai Indian do better when they are put knife on the neck. So Mumbai are team which plays their best when they are in need to.

Can Kings XI come back on track?
Kings lost their momentum completely. Its shame to get bowled out for 88 on track like Mohali, where in excess if 200 scored by two teams in the previous game played on the same venue. What’s more demoralising is their performance came against worst bowling attack in IPL, Royal challengers Bangalore. RCB kept the name of the track by chasing the total wicket less.
KL is second to Rishabh pant in top scorers list. But he is unable get any support from rest of the batsmen
Their middle order is the worst of all in the tournament. One wonder why Aaron Finch is team despite awful performances. Moreover when David Miller In dugout. May be they should consider playing Yuvraj Singh. Their win percentage is higher when he is in the team. He might be their lucky charm.

Can Mumbai keep their hope alive?

Mumbai had a bad game in their last match. They have not lost RR but one man Jos Butler. Mumbai never had a bad start in the tournament. Their opening combination is the most consistent .But their middle order fails at times. They failed to convert in to big score after given blazing start by Ewin Lewis and Surya Kumar Yadav.

Cricinfo Predictions

Expect huge score and being chased down.

Chris Gayle to score fifty.

Andrew Tye to pick up two or more wickets.

RCB VS KXIP Iive Score card

Both kings XI and RCB are nit out of play offs. But their situations ae different. Kings Still have chance to end up in first two slots. But they haven’t confirmed their play off yet. RCB are out of contention for first two sports but have the probability to end in 4th slot.

Can Kings XI break their losing streak?
Kings XI performance can be divided in to two halves. They won 5 out of first seven games this season ,followed by three consecutive losses. One more defeat from here on can put them in Jeopardy. Their batting needs to be seriously repaired. They are overly reliant on Lokesh Rahul and Chris Gayle. Their Middle failed to stand up when Chris Gayle failed. KL Rahul had hardly put foot wrong in entire tournament. Aron Finch has continued to fail in IPL. There isn’t a franchise pleased with him to retain. His  Shifting with franchises might continue after this one. Kings XI gave as many chances they could. Kings XI is also having off screen issues as well. news circulating is that there is an ongoing rift between KL Sehwag and Preity Zinta. Sehwag gave a statement that he wouldn’t comment as it could affect team performances when they are one win away from Playoffs.

Andrew Tye showed his character by picking up 4 wickets on an absolute paradise to bat on. Kings XI strategy is to be very simple. If they could get Kohli and Develliers out cheaply ,then game is in their kitty. But both RCB pillars chased down 180 with 70’s against Delhi.

Cricinfo Predictions

Pitch is expected to keep its name. A very high scoring game is expected under the lights.

Virat and AB DE Villiers to score a fifty.

M45, CSK VS SRH Live scorecard, PUNE

CSK VS SRH Live scorecard


Both the table toppers will lock horn each other on the first of double header on Sunday, May 13. A win in this game will aid the teams end in top two position. We all are aware that ending in top two positions will give luxury to lose in a game in play offs. Chennai Super Kings and SRH are the most likely teams end up in the slots at this juncture.

SRH  ticked one of its unchecked boxes in their last game against Delhi. They chased 180+ total against Delhi at Feroz Shah Kotla with 9 wickets in hand. Shikhar Dhawan Who was nor in greatest form this season has showed great skills. Kane Williamson played Second Fidel though he was the top run scorer for SRH this season. One issue popped up for SRH is the form of Bhubaneswar Kumar. His Death bowling had been indispensable asset for SRH. He was hit for 26 runs in last over against Delhi. Thanks to Dhawan and Kane Williamson for covering up his dismal performance.

CSK

Chennai is the most reliable team in IPL history. This season no different. All their players proved that just a number. IPL is platform to present themselves. Ambati Rayadu is one of those players ignored by selectors. May be he is not flamboyant as other players. But his numbers speak different. He never went to lean patch. He was consistent throughout his career with Mumbai. Chennai lost their last game against RR. Dhoni couldnt find an answer o Butler. He doesnt want to make it a habbit.  He would like keep his team on track.

CSK has better off SRH in IPL history. SRH only won two games against CSK in IPL. Dhoni played his best when he played against SRH.

Cricinfo Predictions

SRH to win the match.

Kane Williamson to score a fifty.
