SRH vs GT scoreboard

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.

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.
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.

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.

[Rubel007]

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 was excited for yesterday's match cause MSD was back as a captain, but lo behold CSK does the pathetic performance of all time.

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.

Meanwhile, SRH yesterday, absolute entertainment!

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.

^ Meanwhile, in second match, it was in DC's lap and yet they choked it up. But whatever, it's good for MI, they desperately needed this win as their chances for qualifying were getting slim with every loss, you could see relief on Hardik's face when they won the game.

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.
