Today since it is a Sunday there are two matches in IPL. The first one is between CSK and RCB and the second one is between SRH and DC. I think the first match would be interesting to watch as if CSK wins they will be the top team till now in IPL and if RCB wins they, will continue to retain the top position. Second match I think DC will win as they are far better team than SRH.
The top order batsman of KKR started their batting slowly. Maybe their intention was to save the wickets at first few overs with decent run rate and make much runs from last few overs. But none of the top order batsman showed good batting performance. Russell came to the field after 15th over, at this point he had only one option, hit the ball for making boundaries cause total team score wasn't enough. He tried to do it but he failed. As I said before, KKR should bring some changes in their batting order.
At least Russell got a few overs to bat, but Cummins hardly got any. These two are the most powerful hitters for the Kolkata Knight Riders, and they need to bat higher up the order. Middle order batsmen such as Dinesh Karthik and Eoin Morgan are in very poor form and there is no point in sending them ahead of Cummins/Russell. And also, they need to rethink on their openers (Nitish Rana/Shubman Gill) after the repeated failures. Yesterday both the openers wasted a lot of balls.

Pakistan is known for its inconsistency, they were on sky-high when they defeated SA and also overconfident against Zimbabwe. They should have taken this series seriously, I was on the impression that they would win all their matches against a weak team like zimbabwe but unfortunately they lost one. This will look very bad in the history of Pakistan cricket. I hope they play well from next match onwards.
Next match is the final T20 match between the two teams and its a decider of the series. It will be played tomorrow on Sunday. Pakistan should won this match because a loss would be a bigger upset for them. They will be in a lot of pressure too after the last match loss while Zimbabwe team will play with all the confidence they gain recently by wining.Most probably Pakistan will win the decider, It would be a great if they win convincingly. They have to get themselves together and forget about the last match if they want to win this one. They have created the pressure for themselves, if they had won the last match they would have played the last match without any pressure.
Andre Russell should bat as an opener or in the top of the batting order rather than holding him back till the end and even Pat Cummins is a clean hitter of the ball and he should be promoted up the order, it looks like they are wasting the talent they have and Chirs Morris changed the game completely while Mustafizur Rahman was bowling really well in the other end that stopped KKR from posting a decent total .
I have not seen Andre Russel open the innings but he needs to come earlier and allow him to play his shots, today the KKR openers were really slow in scoring the runs and that made extra pressure on the other batsman as well and they failed miserably as well. Pat Cummins played a good innings in his last game and he was striking the ball well in this match too even though he was dismissed trying to score another six and they have plenty of stroke makers and rather than holding them back they need to give opportunities for these players. ~
This was one of the big upset and i never expected that to happened. The odds were in favor of Pakistan in the beginning of the match, so whoever took the risk and bet on Zimbabwe, you have got decent profits. That's why taking risk sometimes pay off and you can make good money from such matches.
Even if you bet when Zimbabe just scored 118 runs you would general think that Pakistan would easily chase the score as they are in the series after defeating South Africa and the odds would have been above 10 i assume.

Chris Morris's last 2 overs ruined the party for KKR and virtually won the game for his team. KKR need some fine bowling effort otherwise match is already gone for them.
KKR needs to do something and alter their batting line up altogether. Andre Russell should bat as an opener or in the top of the batting order rather than holding him back till the end and even Pat Cummins is a clean hitter of the ball and he should be promoted up the order, it looks like they are wasting the talent they have and Chirs Morris changed the game completely while Mustafizur Rahman was bowling really well in the other end that stopped KKR from posting a decent total .

Looks like RR will win the match easily. It is very difficult to win a match if the top order batsmen do not perform well. KKR's top order batsmen failed and Russell did not perform well. ~snip~

As I said before, KKR should bring some changes in their batting order. RR needs just 57 runs from 66 balls with 8 wickets in hand now the chance are like 90% on the side of RR from now on. KKR batted really poor that is why they are going to lose this match because this is not really a bad wicket for batsmen like Chennai and days before 220 was scored by Chennai from the same pitch.
Rajasthan Royals just needs another 32 runs in 34 balls and it looks like they can win the match from this situation but who knows as the pressure keeps on rising and if they loose wickets things can change even though David Miller and Sanju Samson is in the crease. I have seen matches where RR looses at the last moment and hopefully we will not see that this time even though i am staying away from betting in this match. 
If Russell can play a devastating innings today then maybe Kolkata can win today's match.
Andre Russell has to play an outstanding innings for them to post a competitive total as they are moving at snails pace at 6 runs per over and it will take them around 120 to 130 if they go at this pace and they need someone to play an outstanding innings to take them well past 150 runs and they just have 5 overs left in the innings.Rajasthan Royals is also not in the best form and hopefully they could change the tempo and make it interesting rather than a slow paced match.
Both are losing site last couple of games, and hunting win but as the present circumstance Rajasthan Royals in a good race to win the match.
Just now Jaiswal was out, RR collected 41 runs in 5 overs and lost 2 wickets. Both teams have a 50-50% chance of winning. If Samosn and Dube are not out early, RR will easily win the match.

KKR vs RR is live at the moment, RR won the toss and they elected to bowl first which worked really well for them.
At the end of powerplay overs, KKR scored only 25 runs for the loss of 1 wicket and again the poor form from Gill continues which really affect the KKR game plan.
Nitish Rana made 22 off 25 balls and Gill made just 11 off 19 balls. If the top order batsmen play so badly, KKR will never be able to collect big runs. At the end of 12 overs, Kolkata scored 71 runs, losing 4 wickets. If Russell can play a devastating innings today then maybe Kolkata can win today's match.

The T20 match between Zimbabwe and Pakistan has started. Pakistan decided to bowl after winning the toss. Sounds like a good decision. Zimbabwe has made only 33 in 8 overs. They lost 1 wicket. Looking at the batting style of the Zimbabwe players, I think they are playing Test matches. If they bat so slowly in the T20 format, match-winning is never possible. Today Zimbabwe will be defeated in a very bad way.
What do you expect from ZIM against PAK, come on Pakistan is a much much better team against Zimbabwe. It is a complete one side game we all know Pakistan should whitewash this series. This series would be good for Zimbabwe to gain experience against a good team. It is a waste of time to watch this series. 
You need to rethink. Pakistan lost the match which they should have won easily. I do not feel anything sad about how Pakistani played today but i am worried for all those who bet on the Pakistani team today. So many people would have lost their bets today.
I never dreamed that Pakistan would lose so badly against a small team like Zimbabwe. Pakistan had a great performance against South Africa. I think the Pakistan team seems to be a very easy opponent towards Zimbabwe. They thought they would win the match easily. And this is the reason why they have faced such a bad batting disaster.
Pakistan is known for its inconsistency, they were on sky-high when they defeated SA and also overconfident against Zimbabwe.

This will look very bad in the history of Pakistan cricket. I hope they play well from next match onwards.

I wonder what the odds were for Zimbabwe to win the match, there were talks about Zimbabwe upsetting Pakistan and now we have seen that and that too when chasing a really small score . I would never anticipate that kind of upset even if i am betting and i would have lost the bet.This was one of the big upset and i never expected that to happened. The odds were in favor of Pakistan in the beginning of the match, so whoever took the risk and bet on Zimbabwe, you have got decent profits.
