Absolute cinema! I figure, low scoring thrillers are better than high score chases. I am glad I watched it live despite game looked completely hopeless with the target PBKS gave.

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 ?
Let's listen your opinion here.

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.

RR is not a consistent team, so don't have much hopes from them.

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.

Today the match between Mumbai Indian and Sunrisers Hyderabad team going to starting in less than hours.
What is going to the prediction about this match? I feel like this match is more confusing because those two team are something like same form in this season of Indian Premier League 2025.
Given Mumbai Indians is on little bit better condition but I can't predicting right now on this match. Anyone have any extra insights about their team squad?

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.

^^ SRH is heavily dependent on their batters to score big that if they can't do that, they don't know what do, with 160ish score on cards, it was already lost cause for them to win the game.

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.

Yesterday, we had RCB vs PBKS, rain spoil and match was reduced to 14 overs, PBKS won the toss, bowled first, RCB batting didn't do any good, all thanks to Tim David's fifty that they reached 95 total, PBKS didn't smooth sail despite chasing a mediocre total, but they did win and that's all that counts.

Rajasthan Royals vs Lucknow Super Giants, 36th Match

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?

^ There was no valid reason, RR could lose the match but here we are. Even in last over, they got full toss from Avesh where they should have put it over the fence but they failed to do so.

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