Thanks for this thread. I am a huge cricket fan and love to make some bets here and there. I am supporting Mumbai Indians because of the sole reason that Sachin is associated with them.

There are only a few days left for the start of the Indian Premier League 2025. The most popular league in franchise cricket. In the meantime, cricket lovers are doing extensive research about this tournament. There is an excitement among those who will bet. There is a different kind of excitement in the cricket world during IPL, especially the top class players are in the limelight and the excitement of cricket fans will prevail throughout the time. Thanks to @libert19 for creating such a thread. A different feeling has been created as soon as I saw the thread.

Of course why not? If we can do our research and get opinions here, we can get better results. Though there are not many users in this forum they like cricket. If some users came here, then their logical predictions with various information would be effective for others. But anyway, we can keep our predictions here and by observing them, hopefully it will be easier to take more logical decisions.

Sky is cloudy and here and there rain showers at Eden Gardens, so rain may play spoilsport on opening game itself.

The cloud condition does not give a good message, there will definitely be doubts about the match. The match will start with the cloud conditions, some times it shows good and sometimes bad. In this situation, there will be a disturbing feeling among the fans about the match. Especially if the second innings does not start after the first innings or the over is reduced, in that case, the situation of the match will change completely. It will be even more difficult to predict the win and defeat in this match.

But ultimately the match was played perfectly and Kolkata Knight Riders started with a good performance and lost with a bad performance. They had to face this loss due to what I would call a lack of fully team work.
Although I was confident before the match that Virat Kohli would perform well because he has returned to his form in the recent Champions Trophy and where Virat Kohli is, good things happen, so I was confident that Royal Challengers Bengaluru would win today. And to be honest, the incredible comeback of their bowlers played a big role here.

Yes, KKR fucked up in second 10 overs, had they continued their early momentum till last then we could have seen a competitive total and game could have gotten interesting.

There is no need to make any predictions about today's match. Sunrisers Hyderabad has shown such a performance that Rajasthan Royals will never be able to win this match. Although in cricket, it is not possible to say which team will win till the last ball, but Sunrisers Hyderabad will definitely win today's match. The number of runs in this match can definitely be 160 or more, which will be difficult for any other team to chase.

160? Or you mean 260? SRH continued their momentum from last season, and what a monster SRH batters are! My favorite franchise at the moment.

While, CSK vs MI as much as it was hyped as classic rivalry, it was meh tbh.

Not never, I think since 2013 they are consistent in losing first match but prior to that have won, for example in Season 2, they won their first match.

Today we have GT vs PBKS, GT is looking better on paper compared to Punjab imo. Aside from Gill, Rashid they have now got Buttler, Phillips which should be strengthening their batting and fielding (cause Phillips) significantly.

There is plenty new domestic talent as well, but I don't have much idea about them. Hopefully, they'll surprise us with their performances.

I never imagined that Punjab Kings would play so well. Their score had increased so much that it would be difficult for any team to win that match but the opposite team almost complete that difficult task due to a small margin they could not take the victory. However, those who were Gujarat Titans supporters were optimistic that the team might be able to win. The fans of the opposing team Punjab Kings were also afraid that they might lose the match. All in all, it is sad that Gujarat Titans could not take the victory despite coming so far. There is really nothing to say here because everyone played well. Against such a big score, Gujarat has come so far, which is a good side for them.

RR does not feel same with Buttler being there, and I think disadvantage is obvious. Last season too they were smooth sailing at first but once Buttler left to prepare for T20WC (along with other Englishmen), they lost the momentum.

Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Lucknow Super Giants - 7th Match

In today's match, I think the team that won the toss and fielded would have won. In this tournament, we have seen that victories can be achieved against big scores. Although this does not happen in all matches. If a team loses the match by a small margin against a big score, there is nothing that can be done. In the 7th match of the Indian Premier League 2025, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Lucknow Super Giants are competing very well. In today's match, I expected Sunrisers Hyderabad to win the second match but they failed there. Lucknow Super Giants' performance was amazing. Lucknow Super Giants won the match by a big margin. Both these teams have played 2 matches each, they have lost one and won the other.

Nicky P is mesmerizing, it would be thing to see how LSG manages when he doesn't score as much. On SRH, I think they are heavily dependent on their batting to put up mammoth totals and when it doesn't happen, it's lost game for them.

LSG has got domestic talent in bowling department yet they are doing extremely well.

Every time Royal Challengers Bengaluru due to various mistakes they are not able to reach their desired position in the end and even start with their downfall from the beginning. But this season the team is seen in a different form. Winning two consecutive matches has kept them at the top. Although their long-standing efforts have failed repeatedly, they want to succeed in this season. However, I was quite surprised to see the performance of Chennai Super Kings. The fall of wickets from the beginning and the increase in the recorded run rate had already given the message that they would not be able to win this match. Honestly, I don't expect such performance from Chennai Super Kings but many have been able to guess that they are the weak in this season.

In match of CSK day of prior, MSD didn't come early despite RRR being high and he having better ability to bat compared to Ashwin, yesterday Hardik Pandya making 11(17) and in the end MI lost by 36 runs — Now, certainly these are quality players but you still wonder then what goes into their mind to play like this?

Delhi Capitals vs Sunrisers Hyderabad - 10th Match

None of the four top order players could perform as expected. Due to which there was a possibility of a slight decrease in the run run but the rest of the batsmen were able to do that in the match. Aniket Verma is playing a big innings of 47 runs off 28 balls and Heinrich Klaasen is playing a big innings of 32 runs off 19 balls. Since these two wickets are still on the pitch, the pressure that the team was under at the beginning has definitely been lifted. For Delhi Capitals, the pressure will gradually increase. Almost every match in this tournament is high-scoring, which is why it will not be easy to predict the match. If Sunrisers Hyderabad score like 200 in today's match, then there can be a big competition in the match.

Lol, yesterday he came to bat early and yet played as if he didn't care to win the game, and in the end they lost by mere 6 runs. If you don't care to win matches, then sit out.

KKR has one of best batting line-up in this IPL season yet they were absolutely decimated yesterday. Also, overall KKR have been pretty mediocre this season tbh, one may wonder if Gambhir was really that great mentor last season that they performed extremely well back then and not without him this time around.

I didn't think mentors matter that much, but they may be important. Look at DC, they are doing good under KP as well.

I was also know that the kolkata knight riders have one of the most strong batting lineup on this Indian Premier League but the performance was really unexpected on the previous match now let see what they do with the Sunrisers Hyderabad team I think this match could be their recover oppurunity otherwise I think Kolkata Kinght Rider have to go through with huge struggle in this Indian Premier League.

The team won by a huge margin at their home ground in Kolkata. Despite losing two wickets early, they batted firmly and managed to score a reliable score. Although Hyderabad have good batsmen, they were under so much pressure in the beginning that they could not escape from that pressure in any way. Especially at the beginning of the match, the wicket of Travis Head was very important. When Travis Head returned, there was jubilation among the KKR fans. If Travis Head could have started well, then winning this match would not have been difficult. A good innings by Venkatesh Iyer and Rinku Singh from Kolkata enabled the entire team to a good score.

Actually, I also thought that maybe Kolkata Knight Riders will going to do the same worst performance as they do in the previous match. After losing two wickets of Sunil Narayan and Quinton de Kock. But who is saw some exceptional performance from the middle order to  lower order  batters which have been good indication for Kolkata night riders.
And about their bowling they also did the excellent performance in this match. I would say we say a good combination of batting and bowling in this match from Kolkata night riders which are cause of their wining.

Kolkata Knight Riders secured a decisive 80-run victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad, largely due to SRH's tactical mistake of choosing to bowl first on a batting-friendly pitch. KKR capitalized on this advantage, posting an impressive total of 200 runs in 20 overs. Venkatesh Iyer emerged as the top scorer, smashing 60 runs off just 29 deliveries, including 7 fours and 3 sixes

Lucknow Super Giants have set a big target by batting first. Since the target is huge, the chances of winning will be in their favor. But in the meantime, Mumbai Indians have managed to score 47 runs in 4 overs by losing 2 wickets. In this situation, Mumbai Indians are also in a good position. Though they are a little behind in terms of wickets, if they are able to bat like this for a little longer, then it is not impossible to win this match. Naman Dhir is batting excellently. He has scored 31 runs in just 10 balls. If he can be persistent, Mumbai Indians will have a big chance of winning.

Lucknow Super Giant team have done great performance in today's match especially I will say and give full credit to their batting line up for their winning specially Mitchell Marsh who tooks 61 from 31 ball only and on the other hand Aiden Markram took 53 Run from 38 ball. And others team mates are also did balance performance with them.
And at the end of the day it's really worked with them to win this match.
And if I say about anything to Mumbai Indians then I have to say they are really did improvement from previous matches also there own a match against the Kolkata but their performance improve noticed in this match even they lose.

2nd one will be very exciting match between Punjab Kings vs Rajasthan Royals. Although Punjab Kings are trailing a lot at the beginning of the 2nd innings, but if Glenn Maxwell can be set in the field, then chasing 205 is not difficult. Punjab Kings are still in a good position despite losing 4 wickets. Nehal Wadhera is batting well in today's match, if he and Glenn Maxwell can reduce the run rate per over, then Punjab Kings' chances of winning will increase.

Currently Punjab Kings was on fire, but I think it's already late they should perform this performance in the before.  I saw that there run rate was 10.60 in last 5 over and their loose only one wicket they did good in last 5 over part then need 75 Run from only 29 ball which is very difficult.
And they have only 5 wicket to go and the other friends the last hope for Punjab king Glenn Maxwell got out so I think  in the end of the day in this match I think Rajasthan Royals will going to be win.

So far we can see that Shubman Gail and Washington Sundor have made a very good partnership for GT, that is 90 runs in 55 balls. And they need 47 runs in 42 balls to win the match. And they still have 8 wickets in hand. So I think today's match can be a dream come true for SRH. But let's see what happens.

The team's chasing target was not big, on the other hand, Shubman Gill's score was good, due to which Gujarat Titans did not have to spend much strength to win. Washington Sundar, I think, batted better than Shubman Gill. The team was able to win with the loss of only 3 wickets. If we review the last few matches, it can be seen that those who can bat first and set a big target have a slightly higher chance of winning. In today's match, Sunrisers Hyderabad scored only 152, which naturally did not seem enough to win. The same scenario was also seen in the opponent's batting.

I think Washington was brought in earlier to accelerate the inning without putting pressure on Gill, and even if he failed there would have been little pressure to GT since there were plenty batters to come still. I would not say he's better than Gill, Gill played important anchor innings and if he had gotten out, GT would have come under pressure and SRH would have gotten their hopes high to win the game.

Today's match is a lot like the current Bitcoin market, once Punjab Kings were seen losing and then Chennai Super Kings were seen winning.
However, in the end, Punjab Kings' bowlers successfully applied pressure and restricted Chennai Super Kings to 201 runs. However, Chennai Super Kings have lost four matches in a row, and it seems that this IPL season will not go well for them.

What's up, why I am seeing silency in this thread even we saw a crazy match agaisnt Punjab Kings Vs Chennai Super Kings.
Today's match is a lot like the current Bitcoin market, once Punjab Kings were seen losing and then Chennai Super Kings were seen winning.

CSK is only team that's looking mediocre this season, their bowling is decent but batting don't have power — there are bunch of oldies in middle order who can not finish matches as it's necessary in T20.

GT VS RR scoreboard

Today's first innings has just ended. And we have seen that GT was batting. From GT's side, we have seen that Sai Sudharson's brilliant performance has enabled their team to score a very good scoreboard in today's game and they have managed to achieve the target of 199 runs against Al Awada. And we know that RR is no less than them. Although I am supporting Rajasthan Royals, I hope they will also give us a very good performance today.

As expected Gujarat Titans won the match. And because if we just check the points table, it will be clear that Gujarat Titans are in better form than Rajasthan Royals this time.
Although in the middle time of batting inning of the Rajasthan Royals there was some confusion about that the who will winner but ultimately Gujarat Titans bowlers did the expected performance and the result is of Rajasthan Royals got all out in only 159 runs. By the way great inning by the Sai Sudharsan(82 from 53)

There haven't been many times in IPL when you could say — it's well all around team in all three departments (batting, bowling and fielding) but it seems to be true for GT this season. Well worthy of top spot.

I didn't expect a team like GT to the top of the points table where the top teams are at the bottom of the points table. But anything is possible in cricket, any team can reach the top. I have been surprised by the performance of quite a few teams in this tournament. Especially Sunrisers Hyderabad who have a good squad but are not doing well and Royal Challengers Bengaluru who have been doing poorly regularly but are doing relatively well in this tournament. Again, Kolkata's position is not as expected. I can definitely predict that the table will start changing again soon.

I also said the same thing, I thought that since Mahendra Singh Dhoni was appointed as the captain in that match, maybe they would be able to perform well, but in that match, they performed even worse. Although I thought that even though they were bad at batting, maybe Chennai Super Kings could do something good under Mahendra Singh Dhoni's captaincy, but from what I saw, they also did poorly in bowling that day.

I am very disappointed with Mahendra Singh Dhoni's performance in this tournament. I don't think the hope I had for the team with him will ever get anything good. In the last match, I think everyone who was a fan of Dhoni will move forward with the goal of building a good innings as he take the captaincy, but that didn't happen. Rather, I was disappointed with the team's score. I am no longer dreaming about Chennai in this season.

I mean, bowlers didn't have anything to defend (103 is no total to defend), so don't think bowlers can be blamed here.

Personally though, I think that their bowling department is good, it's just their batting which sucks so bad.

Rajasthan Royals vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru

In this season, any team that scores below 200 has very little chance to win. In today's match, RR has set a target of just 174  where Royal Challengers seem to be under no pressure. Looking at their play, it seems that they are winning the match very easily. Royal Challengers have almost reached their target in just 15 overs. They need only 28 runs to win. Philip Salt and Virat Kohli have made the match very easy. Looking at the current conditions of the match, it seems that even if RR had scored 230 in today's match, Royal Challengers would still have a chance of winning the match.

Who bet on today's match?

Is there any unlucky like me who did bet on Kolkata Knight Riders?

Kolkata Knight Riders' performance seems to be going from bad to worse now, as we have seen them all out for a low score of around 110 before. This time, we saw them all out for less than 100 runs. To be honest, when Punjab were all out for 111, I had a very confident bet on Kolkata Knight Riders and it was a lower odds bet.
I actually couldn't even imagine if Punjab would all out Kolkata Knight Riders for 95. Anyway, next time, I won't gonna take any bet on Kolkata Knight Riders.  >:(

Actually, I couldn't saw this match on live, because of some personal schedule. Even I was in that much confident, when I place a bet on this match after the Punjab Super Kings batting innings.
I thought that Kolkata night riders who will going to definitely win in this lower score target. But and the end of their batting innings I just hopeless after seeing their score like it was only 95 runs.
Anyway, what about the today's match Delhi capitals versus Rajasthan Royals ?

I would go with DC, they are better squad compared to RR and although they fucked up in their last game, I am expecting they would have learned lessons from that failure and do better here on.

Yeap, I would like to agree with your prediction, a few minutes ago I have just posted my  prediction on the bc.game ipl prediction contest in Bitcoinalk forum.  I want KL Rahul to go from being the best scored  batsman to being the man of the match, which he has done before.
There is no space to think that Rajasthan Royals will win here because they have already lost a match against Delhi Capitals. I expect them to lose this match again, as they were in their worse form right now.

I was quite embarrassed to see the Rajasthan Royals' super over. Both wickets were run out in a row. Shimron Hetmyer did not play the way we expected by him. If he had been able to hit a six boundary in the match, then it would have been a little easier for them to win this match. However, there is no way to say it is easy because Rajasthan Royals do not have any good bowlers, which is why they lost the match.

Rajasthan is doing too many brainfade decisions — to send Parag over Nitish and Jaiswal was just bad take even though Parag did hit a boundary in super over but I was never sold with this decision. Regarding bowlers, hey have Archer, and he's bowling well. Sandeep Sharma is also a good bowler but he fucked in last over and in super over.

Rajasthan is looking mediocre, it's looking obvious now that they ain't going to make it to play-offs.

Mumbai team normally may not perform very well in the beginning but after a few days their dominance increases a lot. I think this time too it will not be the same. Mumbai's position is gradually improving. They have won 3 out of 7 and it is expected that they will have an impact in the upcoming matches. In today's match, Sunrisers Hyderabad's opening batsmen got life but they could not utilize that life in any way. They lost this match because their run rate was not sufficient in the entire innings. In the IPL this year, the score was high in almost all the matches. Due to this, if the score is low, the chances of winning that match become narrow. If the target cannot be increased, then it will definitely be difficult for the team to win.

Yes, that is the case because the team can win on the day when the batsmen can set the big target, the same situation is also in the case of chasing. That is why even if the team is called batting-dependent, there will be no mistake. I have to say that there is inconsistency in their batting too.

Yeap you are right.
And I will say this is also one of the biggest reason for losing the matches in this Indian Premier league season from Sunrisers Hyderabad team.
If we just say about the Travis Head we have to say that he was not in much good form in this Indian Premier league season and the dependency on him and to the other few cricketer I mean the batters always the causes for lowers score which was most of their lossing reason.

Most of the matches in this tournament, those who have been able to set a big target have won the next match but if any team scores below 170, the chances of that team winning are very less. We saw Punjab Kings a few days ago who were able to win the match even with just 112 runs but that situation is not always possible that is why I can say that Lucknow Super Giants are not able to set a very big target in today's match. That is why Rajasthan Royals have a high chance of winning this match.

I would like to agree with you because even there to 180 Run this wasn't enough in this pitch because it was more likely batting friendly. So I would say that Lucknow super Giants have some lack of batting  performance in this match.
And I think it  could be also a cause for their loss in this today's match. If you just currently see the batting  from Rajasthan Royals team then they are doing use good.
In the starting they to 36 runs after 2.2 overs its mean there run rate is now 15.42. Which is really a good start and maybe this is a signal for  Lucknow Super Giant that today they are going to lose?

Avesh is getting credit for saving the match, but I disagree, credit only goes to RR, they bottled the chase.

I think RR were unlucky there. Yashasvi Jaiswal lost the match after such a good start, it is painful for him because he performed good to win the match. I did not think that the Lucknow Super Giants would win the match. Cricket is a game of uncertainty. Why could RR not use the last over well? The match was in RR's hands till the last over but despite having wickets in the last over, they were not able to score. Lucknow Super Giants were supposed to lose this match but luck favored them and they got the win.

We should avoid dreaming of winning by such a small number of score. In other sessions, there have been many matches where teams have won despite scoring low, but this time we are getting something different. Those who are not scoring big are losing. Each team will either have to bat first and score big or else they will have to chase successfully. In today's match, after the first innings, I thought that Sunrisers Hyderabad would win there, although they lost a few wickets in the beginning, which is what happened later.

Today's match between the Chennai Super Kings vs the Sunrisers Hyderabad team it was one kind of pre-predicted match. Like Chennai Super Kings the always facing losses in most of the matches and that's why most of the people here are also expecting that they will gonna lose this match also.
And that also comes to by the end but even then they lose this match their did would in the middle time like theyput  one kind of pressure to the Sunrisers Hyderabad team by taking 5 wickets but they recover it and win match by 5 wicket.

Ayush Mahatre and Dewald Brevis did well. If they could have done a little better, they would have dominated the match without the contribution of others. If the old players like Sam Curran, Ravindra Jadeja, Shivam Dube had collected a little more scores, then the match could have been a situation where 200 could have been achieved. If four players could have contributed well in that match, it would have been easy to win that match.

Especially this season, it is becoming more and more. However, due to rain, Punjab Kings were away from taking their points today.

Yes, it was good total on board by Punjab (though I would say, they struggled in death overs and were 20 runs short in total) and it's likely KKR wouldn't have been able to chase it, so rain saved them — better get one point than none at all.

KKR do have good batting line-up but it looks like Gambhir left and they all lost their touch. winners of last season, and this season despite most of their team being same squad — so far so bad.

I also had high expectations from Kolkata Knight Riders simply because they were the champions of last year's Indian Premier League season, but unfortunately they haven't been able to perform at all this season. I will not only talk about Gambhir, but also the players in the team like Sunil Narine, Andrew Russell, none of them are seen performing well this time. Moreover, the top order batsmen of Kolkata Knight Riders have performed poorly in many matches. Even though they have a few matches left, I don't think they have the potential to do anything good in this Indian Premier League season.

It can be said that another low score and another loss. DC could not set a big target by batting first and they easily lost to the opponent RCB. One thing to note is that they have to lose most of the matches where the top order is not doing well. Du Plessis, Rahul and Axar are quite well-known names in the DC team but they are not doing well because of which the team could not set a big target. The performance of the new players is comparatively better than the senior players in this season. RCB has been excellent in this season and they are now leading the points table.

DC's several players players played ODI innings that it was pretty much impossible for them to put up a good total. Look at this — du Plessis 22(26), KL 41 (39), Axar 15 (13), if it wasn't for Stubbs fireworks in the end, they wouldn't even reached what they did reach.

Around 160 total is nothing these days, so you shouldn't expect your bowlers to defend such totals either.

That's why wise people always say, no matter how weak the other party or the team is, don't take them that much lightly that can they can became as pressure to you. I think what happened with Gujarat Titans was that they took Rajasthan Royals very lightly and they got their revenge by losing.
Honestly, I didn't think Rajasthan Royals would be able to win this match even after being given a target of 210 runs. But unfortunately, they managed to win through an outstanding batting performance.

Delhi Capitals seem to have an edge in today's match against Kolkata Knight Riders, primarily due to their strong batting lineup. Delhi's batsmen have been performing well, and their recent form shows promise. Kolkata Knight Riders, on the other hand, have been struggling to secure victories, making this match crucial for them.

The thing that I am most impressed with in the match is Vaibhav Suryavanshi's batting which I think has surprised the entire cricket world again. How can a boy of just 14 years old play so devastatingly? In the 38 balls he faced, he hit 7 fours and 11 sixes which is truly astonishing to the cricket world. With such a batting performance, there is no obstacle to winning the match. Rajasthan Royals chased 209 runs in just 15.5 overs. Vaibhav Suryavanshi will definitely be able to become one of the best batsmen in the world cricket.

I was in the same thought where you were in, but the KKR changed the scenario they made 204 run and losses 8wicket. I can say it's a good target for the opponent team as t20 format. All the batsmen did their good contributions in this match I am also glad to see that no-one did focus on their personal run in this match all of them try to score and maintaining the strike rate high and that's why we didn't see any of them in half century.

But now they have do to the bowling well for winning because delhi capitals won't gonna give them the easy skip as they also have the good performer batsmen so still this match is on unpredictable for me.

I didn't watch DC's chase full, I thought match is in DC's hands when Faf and Axar were batting, I slept and in morning just watched highlights and was bit surprised that KKR turned out to be a winner, despite the loss Vipraj still did well — the temperament to perform under pressure is commendable quality and is must have for players.

Like you, I too could not see the last score of this match. However, I checked a while ago and saw that Delhi Capitals lost to Kolkata Knight Riders by a very narrow margin of run.
Initially, when Kolkata Knight Riders were targeting over 200 runs, I thought the match was going to be tough for Delhi Capitals, but I had a little hope that Delhi Capitals could win this match. However, they played well but came under pressure towards the end and could not score any more. However, Delhi Capitals' last few matches have not been going well.

Chennai Super Kings have lost a match against Punjab Super Kings before but in that match they had a close performance meaning we saw a tough fight in that match.
Now I don't know if we will see the same today. But if Chennai Super Kings don't make some of the same mistakes this time then they can win this match even if Punjab Kings are five ranks above them. However, if we talk about other metrics, Chennai Super Kings are currently one of the worst performing teams, so it is natural that they will not win and that is what I will do.

I heard commentators in one of CSK's prior matches saying that Hooda averages peanuts in 100 or so matches played and that too with just around 100 strike rate — it's absurd to me, how someone like Dhoni still keeps giving him chances. A complete waste of slot.

As in yesterday's game, he had no game awareness, when he came he had Dube on other side who can hit big but he went for biggie himself and lost his wicket, which revealed tail and collapse ensued.
