This is going to be an easy outing for the Sunrisers Hyderabad. At this rate, they may end up at somewhere around 140-150. Initial spells by Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Pat Cummins broke the backbone of Lucknow Super Giants. And it doesn't help their cause that Quinton de Kock and Marcus Stoinis are in horrible form. Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma maybe a bit disappointed, as their chase may get over in 10-12 overs. Anyway, now it is up to Nicholas Pooran and Ayush Badoni to get LSG to a decent total.
The Lucknow Super Giants won the toss and they wanted to bat first but I think it could be a hard decision because maybe they have seen one time Travis Head's average performance and now they may think what can he do?
But today they will get the results in just a few minutes and Travis Head is the master of chase as he had chased 261 against Royal Challengers Bengaluru by making 100 in just 41 runs which is not a cup of tea. Today we have to be ready to see that Lucknow Super Giants won the toss today and already lost two wickets of Quinton de Kock and Marcus Stoinis. Certainly this is not a start Lucknow Super Giants were hoping for after winning the toss and batting first.
LSG will not likely to make into the playoffs because they lack inform batsmen at the top, De cock failed throughout the season which out tremendous pressure on the middle order and mostly they consolidate the innings once they lose initial wickets.
Today there's no difference in their approach, already lost the 3 wickets and crawling by only scored 65 at the end of 11 overs which will never be enough with the team bat this season. About Travis Head he exploded but also he failed in the recent matches so if there is atleast 170 on the board the LSG might try defending it.
We have the match between Lucknow Super Giants and Sunrisers Hyderabad today.
The match has been started and Lucknow Super Giants team is batting and they have also lost two wicket for 21 runs . Both the players on whom the whole team was depend lost their wickets. But now kl Rahul is batting now whole team is on him and now he has to bat till the end to improve his team run rate , if he does that then he can give a very good target .But the way Sunrisers Hyderabad is batting, I don't think Lucknow Super Giants will be able to score more than 150 runs.It was a great sight seeing the player from Lucknow Super Giants are coming in the ground to defeat Sunrisers Hyderabad and it would be a huge match in front of a good amount of crowd and here we go.
At the first over, they just have to take the singles and start the innings in a good way. Kl Rahul gave the strike to Quinton de Kock and he dotted the ball. 2 balls and 1 run made by KL Rahul. They start the innings by taking singles and doubles that help them and they have to run fast because always these singles and doubles give you an advantage in all formats that exists in cricket.
Unfortunately, Quinton de Kock was not when the team score was 13 runs and Marcus Stoinis lost his wicket when Lucknow Super Giants were 21. With the strong batting lineup that Lucknow Super Giants has, LSK isn't been able to make a good start in this match.
We have the match between Lucknow Super Giants and Sunrisers Hyderabad today. Mayank Yadav and Mohsin Khan are out with injury, and therefore Sanvir will be replacing them. Also, Quinton de Kock will be playing today. LSG won the toss and quite predictably decided to bat first. In this way, they hope to escape from the destructive batting of Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma and Heinrich Klaasen. Abhishek is not included in the starting XI, but he will replace Natarajan or Vijayakanth Viyaskanth as the impact sub later on.

Delhi Capitals vs Rajasthan Royals
Rajasthan Royals won the toss and decided to field today. Rajasthan is in great form this season. The team has lost only 2 matches. However, if they do not win today's match, the Rajasthan Royals team will not be able to retain the top spot in the table.
Although Delhi Capitals could not bat well against Kolkata in the last match, the two Delhi openers made a good start today. Delhi team collected 59 runs in 4 overs. Jake Fraser-McGurk remains unbeaten with 50 off just 19 balls. Jake Fraser-McGurk hits 7 boundaries and 3 over boundaries. Abhishek Porel scored 9 runs off 5 balls. The two openers got off to a fantastic start. If the team continues this streak, Delhi will give away a 220+ target today.
I think that defeat will not effect Rajasthan royals position on points table because they already have same number of points with table topper Kolkata Knight riders but just behind from them by net run rate so it's not a big deal for them but definitely that consecutive two defeat will break thier momentum later at remaining match which is danger indication for them for the rest of thier matches as soon they will be in knockout stage so even any minor mistake will cost them out of the tournament. Anyway Dehli Capital played phenomenal and to be honest I wasn't expecting such performance from but as soon as they exchanged Thier opener by new names they get momentum and now consecutive winning important match but I think it's too late for them to qualify despite they get 5th position. At the congratulations to Dehli for handsome victory ✌️Rajasthan Royals won the toss and decided to field today. Rajasthan is in great form this season. The team has lost only 2 matches.

Honestly, I did not expect the defeat of Rajasthan in today's match. Rajasthan managed to easily win the previous match against Delhi. Rajasthan's bowlers performed well in the first match against Delhi. But in today's match we don't see much controlled bowling from the bowlers of Rajasthan. Apart from Ravichandran Ashwin, no other bowler in the Rajasthan squad can bowl well today.
Another reason for Rajasthan's defeat in today's match is the poor batting of the top order players. Jaiswal, Buttler and Parag are not playing well today. Sanju Samson's innings of 86 runs made the match competitive. But even then Rajasthan was defeated in the end.
Bad luck for Rajasthan they have lost two matches in a row. Rajasthan have performed well since the beginning, but they have not been able to do well in the last 2 matches. Yesterday I expected Rajasthan to win and confirm the playoffs. Delhi won in the end but it is difficult for Delhi to stay in the top 4. Delhi's performance was not good at the start, but has performed well over the last few matches.Another reason for Rajasthan's defeat in today's match is the poor batting of the top order players. Jaiswal, Buttler and Parag are not playing well today. Sanju Samson's innings of 86 runs made the match competitive. But even then Rajasthan was defeated in the end.
However, Delhi's two opening batsmen both batted brilliantly yesterday, with Abishek Porel hitting a 36-ball 65 and Jake Fraser-McGurk hitting a 20-ball half-century. Middle-order batsman Tristan Stubbs performed brilliantly, scoring 41 off 20 balls. However, Delhi ended up scoring 221 runs. Rajasthan batsmen had to bat with pressure from the start in a huge target of 222 runs. Rajasthan's two opening batsmen were dismissed with bad batting and Rajasthan fell behind. Jos Buttler scored 19 off 17 balls, he should have batted better. Sanju Samson batted really well, he was dismissed for 86 off 46 balls.

Rajasthan Royals always start really well, and then they lose their momentum once the tournament progresses. Now they have lost three out of their last 7 matches. And before that they won 4 out of their first 5 matches. And now KKR are ahead of them in points table. Another loss and they risk being relegated to the 3rd place in the points table. For the Royals, remaining matches are against tough opposition: Chennai Super Kings, Punjab Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders.

Once again Rajasthan is losing their winning momentum at the wrong time, it has been their habit every season but this year it came a little later. The 18th over of both innings actually decided the fate of this match. For RR Chahal bowled and went for 21 runs while for DC Kuldeep bowled, picked two wickets and gave only 3 runs. 
DC hope for the play off still remains alive, Tomorrow we have the most important match between LSG and SRH, one who lose might impossible to get into top 4.

Rajasthan Royals today took the field against Delhi Capitals to regain the number one position in the points table. On the other hand, Delhi Capitals took the field against Rajasthan Royals to ensure the fourth position in the points table from the sixth position in the points table. Today's match is more important for Delhi Capitals than this match is for Rajasthan Royals because if Delhi Capitals win this match today they will be at number four position in the points table.
Where other teams are trying to stay between one and four in the points table, Delhi Capitals will surely not want to miss this opportunity. SRH's defeat yesterday gave Delhi Capitals a chance to move up to the fourth position in the points table. Delhi Capitals got off to a good start in the powerplay where they piled up around 80 runs on the scoreboard before the end of 6 overs. Delhi Capitals have an opportunity today and they should make the most of it.

At the end of 8 overs, Rajasthan collected 78 runs after losing 2 wickets. Samson remains unbeaten with 44 runs from 20 balls. And Riyan Parag remains unbeaten with 8 runs. Riyan Parag is batting very slow now. But if Parag stays at the crease, he has the potential to score big. Also Powell and Shubham Dube are experienced batsmen.
When it comes to chasing they did chased big targets but at the time Butler was the man but today he got out early, even after dropped once. Still they are having power to chase the big target but I am looking at the spin duo who is bowling economical which will force to play wrong shots so Kuldeep is the key bowler if DC wants to keep their playoff hope alive.Buttler, Jaiswal and Riyan Parag are the three important batsmen in Rajasthan's squad. But none of these three batsmen could perform as well as expected today. Both Buttler and Paarag's batting was quite slow today.
But captain Sanju Samson is batting brilliantly. Samson is batting with responsibility. Unbeaten Samson collected 79 runs from only 38 balls. After 14 overs, Rajasthan Royals' collection is 148/3. So far I would say both teams have equal chances to win. Rajasthan Royals need 74 runs to win in 36 balls. Rajasthan team needs to score around 12.33 runs per over.
None of the Delhi Capitals bowlers are able to bowl controlled. Almost every bowler except yadav gave lots of runs. Kuldeep Yadav gave away 21 runs in 3 overs. And axar patel gave 25 runs in 3 overs. Besides, every bowler has given more than 11 runs in the over.
At the end of 8 overs, Rajasthan collected 78 runs after losing 2 wickets. Samson remains unbeaten with 44 runs from 20 balls. And Riyan Parag remains unbeaten with 8 runs. Riyan Parag is batting very slow now. But if Parag stays at the crease, he has the potential to score big. Also Powell and Shubham Dube are experienced batsmen.

I agree with you that despite giving a huge target of 222, Delhi Capitals have a big chance of losing this match. Rajasthan is a very strong team. And their batting order is quite experienced. Rajasthan batsmen are in very good form. As usual in today's match also the performance of Rajasthan batsmen is quite good. Sanju Samson in particular is batting very responsibly.

Delhi Capitals may try to turn around in today's match as they were defeated in the previous match. Rajasthan will definitely be favorites in today's match as they have beaten this opponent before and their morale is strong.
There is a big loss for Rajasthan Royals because Yashasvi Jaiswal lost his wicket and he was a very important player but no more in this match. By the way, in reality, he played just 2 series good, one was when recently the World Cup of ODI was finished which was won by Australia, and the other one was then there was a series between India and Australia and after that series, he made 200 against South Africa in test match.
After that, he didn’t play good ever after that two series and just because of that some matches, he become a part of World Cup 2024 and KL Rahul is not playing this World Cup just because of him.
Yashasvi Jaiswal is indeed a key player for Rajasthan Royals and they lost him today only for 4 runs. The other opener Jos Buttler is also out making 19 runs only. Rajasthan Royals are in deep trouble as they need to chase big total today that is 221 runs.

The outcome of this match will depend on the performance of Delhi bowlers. Delhi will win the match if the bowlers bowl well. And if the bowlers fail to bowl in a controlled manner, Delhi are likely to lose even after giving a big target.

Due to the responsible batting of the two openers, the Delhi Capitals team managed to collect 115 runs at the end of 10 overs. The team is collecting more than 11 runs per over. If you want to win against a team like Rajasthan, you have to give a big target. It is very difficult to win against Rajasthan if they give a target of less than 200.Rajasthan Royals won the toss and decided to field today. Rajasthan is in great form this season.

The two openers got off to a fantastic start. If the team continues this streak, Delhi will give away a 220+ target today.
Abishek Porel is still at the crease after collecting 46 runs from 27 balls. Abishek Porel is batting very carefully from the beginning of the innings. Jake Fraser-McGurk was dismissed for 50 off just 20 balls. Jake Fraser-McGurk batted at 250 strike rate. However, we do not see better batting than Shai Hope and Axar Patel. Shai Hope scored just 1 run and Patel was dismissed for 15 runs from 10 balls. Despite the big target, Rajasthan has the ability to win. So today's match will be very exciting.
Delhi Capital needs to win this match to keep it's race for the title alive. And if Rajasthan Royal lost it, Kolkata Knight Riders would keep the top spot. The matches left after this on the league would be 3-3 for both RR and KKR who are in the race to direct entry on final. The ultimate team to get to final could come to the last match between KKR and RR.
In the end, the Delhi team managed to score a huge total of 221 runs. From 13-17 overs, Delhi's batting was very slow in these 5 overs. I thought the team might not even score 200 runs. Delhi's collection was only 26 runs in these 5 overs. However, the batsmen of Delhi batted brilliantly in the last 3 overs. Delhi collected 53 runs in the last 3 overs. And because of the brilliant batting of these three overs, the team was able to collect a huge collection of 221 runs.
The two openers Jake Fraser-McGurk and Porel played very well. Jake Fraser-McGurk scored 50 runs and Porel scored 65 runs. Tristan Stubbs also scored 41 runs in just 20 overs. This innings was also very necessary.
Rajasthan are batting at a big target. But the team stumbled at the beginning. Rajasthan lost the important wicket of Jaiswal in the first over.
The Delhi Capitals team players performed very well in the power play and built a partnership for a long time. But after this partnership was broken, Delhi Capitals team players could not perform well. However, they performed by keeping the wicket under control until the last, that's why they have collected 19 and 203 runs for 5 wickets so far. Delhi Capitals team has performed best in this match compared to the previous matches and if they can improve their bowling performance then there is definitely a chance to win.
Delhi Capitals actually managed to score plenty of runs in the last 2-3 overs. Tristan Stubbs and Gulbadin Naib managed to build a partnership. The latter was a bit defensive, but Stubbs ended up with a strike rate of more than 200 against an attack that included experienced players such as Trent Boult, Yuzvendra Chahal and Sandeep Sharma. BTW, Avesh Khan had a horrible day today. Went for 28 runs in his first over and leaked another 14 in his second. Ended up with figures of 2-0-42-0.
At this point, I would say that Capitals have a upper hand.
