What the heck did I just watch? RCB thrashed RR to another planet by scoring a big total like 178 like it was nothing. Worst part is that the RR bowlers couldn't take a single wicket which is messed up.

Why the heck did Unadkhat get replaced when he was performing well recently? RR is performing worse than Punjab and SRH currently.

Just one new kid in town was competing with the old freak and outscored him in every way possible. Old guard tried to keep up with the kid but he was anchoring the inning. Meanwhile by doing so they forget that they were murdering the opposition self respect. Grin

What do you think about today's match? I placed today's bet on behalf of RCB. But with the help of Dube and Tewatia, RR made a big collection of 177 runs. Batting for so many runs will not be easy though. The RCB squad has some experienced batsmen like Kohli, Maxwell and de Villiers. Hopefully, RCB will not be defeated.

It feels like Samson's international career never going to kick in. After his first ton in the first game he again went into his shell and struggling with the consistency drama. It pains me to see such a talented batsman to struggle again n again. Poor guy need serious soul searching if he want to make name for himself in the cricketing world.

The biggest problem with KKR is that majority of their players(Batsmen and Bowlers) are very inconsistent so far this season. For example, Russell took 5-15 in one match and gave away over 40-45 runs in another.

Also, Russell scored 54 from 22 against CSK, but he scored at a low strike rate in the previous matches. Other examples include Karthik, Gill, Cummins etc.

Agreed. None of the players listed above have performed in a consistent manner. Russell was supposed to be their star performer, but apart from his 5-wicket haul, he was out of form in the previous matches. In particular I am concerned about Dinesh Karthik. He has only made 72 runs from 4 matches. During the last season also, he didn't scored too many runs. I would add Eoin Morgan to the list as well. So far he has scored 45 runs from 4 matches.

CSK vs KKR game turned out to be very entertaining for everyone. I was thinking that KKR might just give up after losing 5 quick wickets and mayhem created by beautiful boy Deepak Chahar. KKR's middle order really fired up and made things interesting for their supporters. I knew Patty can bat but didn't expect him to go bonkers like that, there are surely some positive from KKR's perspective. Middle order is back in form, now if Morgan and top order also kicks in then this team would be really tough to beat.

It was not just Cummins, Russel also made some big hits (he made 54 from just 22 balls, which included 6 sixes). Ironically these two players went for a lot of runs when they were bowling, so it was like a sweet revenge for them. Cummins went for 58 from his 4 (his most expensive spell in T20?) and Russell went for 27 of his two overs. It was a bloodbath for the bowlers. From the CSK side, Sam Curran went for 58 from his 4, and Shardul went for 48 from three.

Yeah their middle order really fired up yesterday. We all know what Russ and in some way Kartik are capable of when they are in good touch but i was stunned by Cummins's inning as i didn't expect him to play like this.

SRH annihilated Punjab registering their first win which surprised me to be honest. I expected SRH to win comfortably, but I didn't expect a thrashing win. Punjab seems to be going downhill once again this season.~

I am not at all surprised by the poor form from Punjab. They are overdependent on a few players for both batting (KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal) and bowling (Mohammed Shami). The remaining players are not very experienced and it was evident today. The problem is that whenever the top order fails, there is no one in the middle order, who has the capability to build a partnership and get them to a decent total. Nicholas Pooran was in such terrific form during last season, but so far he has failed to score runs this year. He had 3 ducks from 4 innings.

Lol csk's batters humiliated KKR's fast bowlers. Kkr batting struggling so I doubt that if they could chase down this big total. May be need some explosive performance from the top order, especially from Rana saab.

Coming to the CSK match, I am happy with CSK's performance so far. Both the openers are playing brilliantly and Narine seems to be the only bowler who is troubling them so far.

Edit: Damn. Didn't expect Cummins to play like a champ though they lost because he didn't have proper support. Looks like I nailed both predictions today and am about to win this round.

It looked as if I match was fixed by some superbru user today who chose comfortable win for Delhi just like me Cheesy

1 run to win in 5 balls and the bowler bowls a no ball and tadaa DC win with 5 balls remaining and I get an extra point which I thought was almost gone. Grin

I was expecting last few ball finish after second half but on rare occasion Bumrah messed up 19th overs and bowled 2 no ball with 10runs, you don't see Bumrah giving freebies to batters and he also knew that he messed up for good so consider yourself lucky.

You are over-estimating Mumbai Indians this season. They clearly got lucky on several occasions in recent matches which is why I expected Delhi to comfortably defeat them.

Well.. I agree. Mumbai Indians have been performing badly so far in this season. But frankly I didn't expected Delhi to beat them, because they were facing a lot of issues in keeping the team balance (due to the absence of their key players). Mumbai has played 4 matches so far... I think now the time has come to drop some of the players who are not performing well. They have a lot of depth in talent, so there is nothing wrong in giving chance to a few of the younger players. Since Hardik is not 100% fit, they can rest him for 1-2 matches and instead include Chris Lynn or James Neesham.

My 2nd win! As usual I was not expecting to have any point but very pleased to see Deli Capital finished it well. I wish I had a decent first round. Still I am occupying the bottom place. Can anyone help me to get 2 points from a match? I have not got any yet.

Don't focus too much on the points. Instead, keep trying harder to pick the right teams(Don't just choose the favorites everytime). I have seen participants go from the bottom to the top in this manner in past pools.

That's me(kpk333). I expected Delhi to win this one comfortably and they didn't disappoint me. Looks like luck didn't side with Mumbai this time around.

I think the Mumbai Indians team is the most stable this season. Other teams have given more importance to the batting lineup. But the Mumbai Indians are stable enough in batting and bowling on both sides. Although their batsmen are not that much successful yet. So far they have not scored more than 160 runs in any of the four matches. If their batsmen can perform well, they will become irresistible

I don't understand whether the IPL matches this season are too unpredictable or I am making a mistake in selecting the teams. 13 matches of IPL have been held. I have won my bet on only 4 or 5 matches. In today's match, I want to select the PBKS team. Let's see what happens today.

One factor may be the unavailability of many players due to quarantine requirements. Important players such as Anrich Nortje are yet to play a single match. The second one may be that the bio-secure bubbles may be putting an emotional toll on some of the players and they may not be able to perform up to their level. In particular, I am disappointed with the performance of Mumbai Indians so far. They have the best players, and yet they have lost 2 out of their 4 games so far.

In today's CSK vs RR match, I bet on RR. But for a while now, my betting luck was going very badly. I have lost a lot of money in the last 1 week. Yesterday I won the bet in the match of DC vs PBKS. CSK players scored 112 runs in 12 overs losing 3 wickets. It looks like CSK will score 175-165. I think RR can win the match if the target is below 180.

Sorry for your loss brother. In gambling it's regular, you win, you lose. I hope you are in control of your gambling habit.

I am very happy with my first earned point! I knew that one day I will manage to get a correct pick 🤣

Arshdeep bowling really well even when put under pressure, skinny boy but got big heart for sure. Same story for Delhi's bowlers, everyone got smashed. Although they pulled up really good at the end. There are seamers, spinners, off spinners, leg spinners and at last we have Ashwin Grin

. I recently looked at his IPL stats and found out that his economy is too good for T-20 format (less than 7), very close to Rashid Khan.

Yes he is great in T20 too but hasn't been key wickets taker. Moreover he doesn't has a lot of variation in his bowling so he tries to do variation with his action which is useful sometimes. Today Delhi Capitals played with Amit Mishra and he has been excellent today still has a lot of mystery in his bowling. I don't know why were all these spin bowlers removed from the Indian cricket team.

Smudge playing today, he only played 1 game so it make sense, they should give him atleast 3 games before keeping him out from the playing XI. He's not T-20 specialist but he's champion batsman and atleast better than Ajinkya.

He did OK today. He made 33 from 29 balls, when the team really needed it. When he came to bat, DC was in some sort of trouble and he managed to build a good partnership with Shikhar Dhawan. I don't have anything against Ajinkya Rahane, but as far as I am concerned he is not a better batsman when compared to Smith. Previously I had criticized the captaincy of Rishabh Pant. But today his tactics were really good and I need to take back my criticism.
