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.

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.

MI is back to winnings ways and looking like a candidate to make it to play-offs while CSK looks pretty much done, even Dhoni in post match interview looked like he's pretty much given up on this season.

Also I was expecting the result because we all see that Chennai Super Kings is doing very bad performance in all the aspect.  And on the others and 176 Run was not to high in this T20 format also in these kinds of grounds. As a result Mumbai Indians made a easy win they lose just their one wickets they hand 9 wickets in hand can you imagine?

LSG vs DC ongoing. LSG has put up 159 score by end despite the excellent start they got, which is just not it, expecting DC to win this easily. This is match for them to take NRR boost on.

Yesterday, RR bottled another chase and now they are out of competition and today we have SRH vs CSK, whoever loses today will be out of competition too (I am expecting CSK to bite the dust today).

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.

Except the new additions Ayush Mahatre and Dewald Brevis, other bats shown same shitshow as in earlier matches, had Brevis was able to continue for some more time they could have gathered 180-200 runs which would have been on-par score and bowlers would have had something to defend.

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.

Today, Punjab Super Kings were not in a good luck because even though they batted so well, they could not win the match, where in most matches if the opposing team only crosses 150 runs, Kolkata Knight Riders lose that match. Especially this season, it is becoming more and more. However, due to rain, Punjab Kings were away from taking their points today. From this point of view, the rain has come in favor of One Kind of Kolkata Knight Riders.

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.

[libert19]

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.

GT vs RR, GT would have been favorite of all, cause of course they are table toppers but RR out of nowhere with this RR 14 yr old kid completely destroys GT, and mind you GT has one of best if not the best bowling attacks in IPL.
