The most expensive player of 2021 IPL auction is Chris Morris and he justified it with his extraordinary knock today, I didn't expect them to win as well and I stopped watching when the 5 wickets fell for 40 runs but saw the scores at the 19th over then it was one of the nail biting match and I saw all the big sixes in the last few overs.
Chris Morris performance looks like he was giving a good reply to Sanju Samson who rejected a single in the last game because he thought he could finish the match with a six and ended up loosing his wicket, the way Chris Morris batted today he could have scored the winning runs in the last match and Royals players needs to be consistent especially Sanju.

Something happened and some people like me lost some money. I never thought RR would win this match. It was completely unexpected. I had full confidence on DC but Miller and Morris took the match away.
We might hear about match fixing at a later time as some of the matches are going in that direction 
. When Delhi Capitals was struggling i thought it is going to be an easy match for Rajasthan Royals but once they lost 5 wickets for 42 runs i did not expect a turn around but then David Miller took the match and then Chris Morris took the match away from Delhi.Something happened and some people like me lost some money.

What just happened with the match between Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals, i thought Delhi would win the match after Rajasthan Royals lost their 7th wicket and all credit goes to Chris Morris who took the team to victory from a situation everyone thought was impossible and proved to be a game changer once again with the bat but Rajasthan Royals needs to improve their performance.

Have you watched the T20 match between Pakistan and South Africa? South Africa lost 5 wickets in 20 overs and scored 203 runs. But still, Pakistan won this match very easily. The South African bowlers bowled very poorly. Pakistan's two openers have batted brilliantly. Mohammad Rizwan is unbeaten on 73 off 47 balls and Babar Azam has scored 122 off 59 balls. This is the highest run in Pakistan's T20 history.
That was a miracle indeed. I never expected Pakistani batsman to score over 200 runs in a second innings in a T20 match with the current batting line up. The openers really surprised everyone and played innings of their life and took Pakistan to an historic win. I wish the Pakistan team carry on the same form in the batting in the next and final T20 match to take the series in their name too.

@mersal I feel that we’re getting excited too early about RCB chances, but if they continue to win few more matches then suddenly they may be considered as one of the top contenders for the cup. Lastly how many of you’ll actually feel that RCB has what it takes to win to league cup, because I feel they only have 50% chance of winning it.

Inclusion of Maxwell looks too good for them now because he is playing with some kind of responsibility this year which we never seen with his previous years in IPL.Source:

DC vs RR, Rajasthan choose to bowl first and they have been bowling excellently until now, DC was completely broken other than Pant who also lost his wicket for a run out, Anything over 150 can be defendable based on the pitch condition but at the end of 8 overs their score is only 124.
Pakistan won the first match, South Africa came back in a great way in the second match. They won the match with 36 balls and 6 wickets remaining. In the third match, their batsmen played brilliantly but the bowlers gave a lot of runs and were not able to take wickets. They will have to bowl more responsibly in the next match. Otherwise, they will not be able to win.
South Africa was able to win one T20I and one ODI each. But in the end, we have to agree that Pakistan was the better team. IMO, South Africa is a team in decline. There is a lot of talent, but due to political issues most of this talent either gets wasted or the players simply migrate to other countries. On the other hand, Pakistan is going through some sort of a resurgence. Their pace bowlers are in excellent form, and Babar Azam is now the top ODI batsman as per the ICC rankings.

Pacers such as Haris Rauf, Shaheen Shah Afridi and Hasan Ali have the experience and Mohammad Hasnain and Naseem Shah have the raw pace. On helpful surfaces, they can completely destroy the opposition batting lineup. I would still say that it is the spin bowling department which needs immediate improvement.
All of their recent victories was made possible because of their batting unit and their bowlers needs to rise to the situation which i have not seen from this group of bowlers. Spin is another issue they are facing, they need to scout new talents and PSL will be their opportunity to find young talents.Pacers such as Haris Rauf, Shaheen Shah Afridi and Hasan Ali have the experience and Mohammad Hasnain and Naseem Shah have the raw pace.

Rajasthan Royals is in a great position to win the match, Delhi is struggling as they lost 5 wickets for 96 runs and they need to score some quick runs to get to competitive score and i want to see them score above 150 runs so that we will see a good chase and i am rooting for Rajasthan Royals to win the match and i wish to see Sanju Samson taking the team to victory.

There are many bets placed on stake by many gamblers on Royal Challengers Bangalore to win at odds of over 5.8 and it looks like they have a chance to win the match as Sunrisers Hyderabad looks like they messed up once again as they already lost 5 wickets and they need 30 runs from 15 balls and it is not going to be an easy chase and they need Jason Holder to produce some boundaries now or loose the match.
SRH is a much weaker team than RCB, to add to their misery their middle order is struggling this season. I did think once SRH might be able to change the end result of this match if they can hit a couple of six. But, they are now losing wickets and struggling to score the singles. They will lose this match.
RCB is on the top of the table which is rare to see every year, hope the curse on them will be cleared in this season.

Bowling is a department that they need to improve, they cannot be compared with the 1992 team in regards to the bowling in any way shape or form but the batting has improved and they have a mix of youth and talent just like the 92 team but they need to drastically improve their bowling department.
Well.. comparison with the team of 1992 may be premature, but I would insist that their pace bowling lineup is very impressive. Pacers such as Haris Rauf, Shaheen Shah Afridi and Hasan Ali have the experience and Mohammad Hasnain and Naseem Shah have the raw pace. On helpful surfaces, they can completely destroy the opposition batting lineup. I would still say that it is the spin bowling department which needs immediate improvement.

They have depth in their batting, so I would say that 200 plus is very much achievable.
Babar Azam promoted himself and played the anchor role just like the replica innings where Kohli promoted himself as the opener and won the match and series against England and as expected they surprised everyone.They have depth in their batting, so I would say that 200 plus is very much achievable.

May be they will finally have their fortune of lifting the trophy this year, they have a good team and if they bowlers can perform then they can win the tournament after a decade of waiting.RCB is on the top of the table which is rare to see every year, hope the curse on them will be cleared in this season.
The only department in which I could find weakness is in spin bowling. Two decades back they had world class spinners such as Saqlain Mushtaq and Mushtaq Ahmed. The current bunch of spinners are not up to that level.
Bowling is a department that they need to improve, they cannot be compared with the 1992 team in regards to the bowling in any way shape or form but the batting has improved and they have a mix of youth and talent just like the 92 team but they need to drastically improve their bowling department. The Pakistan team is much stronger and more stable than the South African team. Strong in both side bowling and batting. They have world class batsmen like Babar Azam and Rizwan. Shaheen Shah AFridi, Nawaz is a good enough bowler. The South African team is slowly heading for further decline. This team will not be able to win even against a small team after a while if the problem within their management is not solved properly.
To tell the truth, I wasn't really expecting the Pakistan team to win abroad, and that too in the SENA region. This is an exceptional performance from them. Reminds me of the Pakistan team that won the world cup in 1992. The only department in which I could find weakness is in spin bowling.

T20 is the most exiting format of this sports. The IPL (Indian Premier League) is the most successful league in this format and IPL basically made this format popular. Now we have so many leagues.
Of course there are t20 world cup and also the tour matches.
And many more. Please mention and I will update.
Let's discuss here only about the T20 matches.
Cheers :-)

There is county T20 tournament also in England
I agree, SA should of scored more in this match however I think the Pakistan bowlers bowled well at the vital times during the match which is why the SA middle order couldn't put any partnerships together and get to 220 - 230 runs. It was a good team performance by Pakistan and in the end they dominated SA with their batting. Normally the series would be over but as this series is a 4 match series, SA still have a chance to draw the series.
Yeah.. Pakistan is leading the series 2-1 and if South Africa manages to win the 4th match, then the series will be drawn. Overall, it is a very good series for Pakistan. They won the ODI series 2-1, and they have a good chance of winning the T20I series as well. On the other hand, South Africa needs to self-introspect about why they performed so poorly. Their batting seems to be OK, but the bowlers are leaking too many runs.
