You are right Kolkata Knight Riders is a top class team after winning from Sunrises Hyderabad they qualify for the final of Indian Premier league and hot favourite team to win this year final. Kolkata Knight Riders won this match by huge 8 wickets victory over sunrises Hyderabad. The Player of the Match is Mitchell Starc for his outstanding bowling performance picked 3 important wickets for his team by just giving only 34 runs in his bowling spell and win match to Kolkata Knight Riders single handaly. the most important second play off match will be played tomorrow between the two strong team Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bengaluru.

Mitchell Starc got the most important batsmen from Sunrisers Hyderabad out (Travis Head). That was the turning point of the match, and it started a chain reaction and SRH ended up at 39/4. Starc picked up the important wickets of Nitish Kumar Reddy and Shahbaz Ahmed in addition to that of Head. And then Abhishek Sharma was nabbed by Vaibhav Arora. Once Starc and Arora was replaced by Harshit Rana/Sunil Narine, SRH got some respite. But even that didn't lasted long.

Venkatesh Iyer and Sreysh Iyer are the two batsmen who played the most role for Kolkata Knight Riders team to win this match. Kolkata Knight Riders team can play in the final match, but Sunrise Hyderabad team bowlers did not perform well. Although early wickets fell, no further wickets fell later, two batsmen scored half-centuries. Due to the development of their partnership, Kolkata Knight Riders were able to win this match very easily.

United States vs Bangladesh 1st T20

Today will be the 1st match of T20 series between Bangladesh vs USA. Bangladesh is a stronger team than USA. Bangladesh batting and bowling line is stronger than USA. But currently the batting line of Bangladesh is not very strong, they could not show a good batting line against Zimbabwe at home. Bangladesh bowling line is very strong, Taskin, Mustafiz, Shariful, they bowl very well. There will be 3 matches in this series and the team that can win in 2 matches will win the series. The matches will be on the home ground of the USA, so the USA will have a slight advantage. I think Bangladesh will win today and hope Bangladesh can whitewash USA. But let's see how well USA can perform at home.
Wao what a surprise performance from USA cricket team especially right before the world cup at thier home ground where in upcoming days they will face on of top sides of the world cup but from now they show Thier existence, strength and indicate how improved team they are and to be honest I wasn't expecting such kind of results from them but they really impressed the cricketing world by beating Bangladesh in thier first match of the series. Fans expecting a white wash results from Bangladesh against United states but they really show Thier magic and not only changed the White wash scenario but they way they perform it's looking like Bangladesh in danger to lose the series too. Anyway Bangladesh has potential to recover and seek thier revenge but they should be more prepared for world cup otherwise they will be out of the tournament as soon as possible

I think USA is very low class team because USA didn't focus on cricket,they focus on their games. USA International T20 cricket team will lose the match by huge margin
You can never be sure about the Bangladesh cricket team whether they will win or lose today's match. Although we know that the USA cricket team is much weaker than Bangladesh, but today's match did not show that attitude, but the way Bangladesh performed, it seemed that the Bangladesh cricket team was much weaker than the USA cricket team. In the three-match T20 series, Bangladesh was defeated by USA by 5 wickets in the beginning. Bangladesh cricket team cannot be a perfect cricket team by any means. Mustafizur Rahman who showed a surprise in this year's IPL, Mustafizur Rahman got two wickets with 41 runs in 4 overs with USA today but the run rate is highest in his overs. In today's T20 match, Bangladesh's performance was not good at all, rather Bangladesh played in an average manner and took the opponent very easily, which ultimately resulted in a defeat.

The result from qualifier match was somewhat expected. KKR were the toppers in group phase and they had an easy win over SRH. Once Head and Abhishek got out cheaply in the first few overs, the outcome of the match was never in doubt. Now Sunrisers Hyderabad has another chance with them, as they take on the winners from the eliminator match between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Rajasthan Royals. I would still say that SRH are likely to face KKR in the finals, as these two are the best teams as of now for this season.

SRH team played very disappointing game today and showed very poor struggle in batting line and I did not expect such effort from SRH team in semi final game. SRH team won toss and they got a opportunity to select bat or bowl first and SRH team decided to choose bat and gave a target. SRH team set 159 runs target in 19.3 overs and lost all wickets. In early, M.Starc got a very important wicket of SRH team in second ball of first over T.Head and also A.Sharma he made only 3 runs. R.Tripathi performed well and scored good runs for SrH team total 55 runs in 35 balls and he hitted seven 4s and one 6s. Klaasen scored 32 runs in 21 balls and other Batsman only made few runs before out Cummins also played good than other batsman and made 30 runs. After seeing target of SRH team, KKR have good chance for win and this team would be proved by chasing all target easily and win this 1 st semi final game and qualify for final game Congratulations SRH team. M.Starc got a player of game award due to his brilliant bowling effort and he bowled out 3 wickets in 4 overs with 34 balls. S.Iyer also made a outstanding half century with not dismissed and total made 58 runs in 24 balls and he hitted five 4s and four 6s.

But let's see how well USA can perform at home.
Of course Bangladesh is much stronger than United States of America team. In these three matches series USA has the to prove if they will perform well so I hope they will be recognised as good team. At this time we don't count USA team as in top teams. Still I am looking that they will be white washed by Bangladeshi team but we can't underestimate the USA team. They also can perform well and can give a tough time to Bangladesh. By the way we can't say anything at this time. We will see the performance in ground and this will show the reality of a team. And will show that how much a team prominent as compare to opposit one.
I think USA is very low class team because USA didn't focus on cricket,they focus on their games. USA International T20 cricket team will lose the match by huge margin and Bangladeshi  cricket team is not like USA cricket team because they performed very well in 5 to 6 years ago and they won the series against Pakistan and South Africa . I think Bangladeshi cricket team is wasting their time by playing against USA  cricket team because they should play against good teams like Pakistan, Australian and Indian. By playing against USA  cricket team,they will be lazy and T20 cricket World is coming soon. If they will play against hard team ,they will find their weaknesses and they can work on their weaknesses and they can improve their performance.

The result could have been different there if SRH got got a good start with their openers. Unfortunately, both of the openers failed to contribute in the important match. I was seeing a little hope for SRH there with the partnership of Klaasen and Tripathi, but it had faded too. The target wasn't competitive. Anyway, I'm also expecting SRH to be the opponent of KKR in the final.

Just when I thought that Sunrisers Hyderabad are making a comeback, Andre Russell gets the most important wicket of Rahul Tripathi. Before this, it looked as if SRH may get to somewhere around 200. But now, it looks insanely difficult, as they have Abdul Samad at one end, and Pat Cummins at the other. Not much batting to come after this. They have Bhuvneshwar Kumar next, to be followed by tailenders Vijayakanth Viyaskanth and T Natarajan. My guess is that they may end up at somewhere around 160. 

No way, after playing the whole tournament and coming this far, they are playing the Semi-Final sort of match like this  Angry  Poor performance by Sunrise Hyderabad in today’s match. Back to back, the wickets are falling and I think that they may score under 150 score, their team could be all out and the 10 wickets down until that score.

No Travis Head performed in this match so what is the advantage of their good team in the whole IPL when they are doing this type of performance in the most crucial match of the tournament? Let’s see if today’s match goes to Kolkata Knight Riders hand and maybe they will qualify for the final.

KKR quicks rattle SRH in powerplay
When a good score was expected from Sunrisers Hyderabad , suddenly the collapse started. I expected the match to score 180 or more. No one could perform except Tripathi in the match. Klaasen got some runs but not enough as he scored 31 off 21 balls. Head is expected to be high in this team but he has to go back to zero runs in today's important match. His other teammates also did not play well. Due to which Kolkata got a very easy win. If they able to score 200 or more in the match, the match would have been pretty well. Sunrisers Hyderabad did well in the beginning and middle of the tournament but towards the end the team seemed to lose their momentum.

Surprising that the overall discussion is missing the captaincy angle, even during post-match analysis, especially when it comes to KKR or Shreyas Iyer.

A fair amount of commentary went about Sanju, Pant even Cummins (Faf going under the radar cause of Viart) but not Iyer, considering before the IPL his career trajectory was going down but he led KKR nicely without any fuss.

Today I feel SRH has bit of an advantage because KKR doesn't have Phil Salt on their side, Salt who has been match winner for KKR on several occassions, Gurbaz is good but I wouldn't put him on same shoes as Salt.

Also, it's battle of two expensive players, Starc vs Cummins, already played in league stage but play-offs has different feel to it. Aussies are known to rise of special occasions, may be it's time Starc will shine?
I'm excited to see some explosive batting tonight. Only these two teams deserve to play in the final. They've played like champions throughout the IPL. But I feel SRH has an advantage, and I think SRH will win today's Qualifier 1.
Starc vs. Cummins is going to be a great watch. Kolkata fans just want to see Cummins beaten in Ahmedabad under Starc's captaincy. KKR has given us plenty of reasons to be happy this season. Unfortunately, we'll see KKR without Phil Salt at a crucial time. Even if they fail, they will get a second chance to make it to the final.
In 1st play off SRH posted a target of 160 runs Hyderabad team lost wickets early which created pressure on them. Kolkata Knight Riders chase down the target 164/2 in 14th overs excellent innings played by Venkatesh Iyer and  shreyas iyer both players make fifties they played 97 runs partnership on just 44 balls which help his team to won this match single handedly. Shreyas iyer scored 58 on just 24 balls the reason of losing the match by Sunrisers Hyderabad is that they posted the target very low and after that they did not bowling well and defended this average target. Kolkata team go into the final while Hyderabad has 1 chance that they will play on Friday who's will win tomorrow between Rajasthan and Bengaluru.

Sunrise Hyderabad scored 159 runs all out, a relatively low score for the team in today's match. Sunrise Hyderabad should have put up a bigger score to win against Kolkata Knight Riders but they couldn't. Kolkata Knight Riders have done a very good bowling performance and are currently batting brilliantly as they aim to complete the target of 160 runs. And if they succeed in achieving this match today, definitely Kolkata Knight Riders will enter the IPL final and will win easily with the way they are currently batting. Shreyas Iyer and Venkatesh Iyer's partnership has held up remarkably well and the way they are batting with excitement will see them enter the final hall very soon. Today's match is very interesting and I believe Kolkata Knight Riders are going to win this match soon, needing 12 runs from just 41 balls so KKR can enter the final.
Yes, you are correct.  If their bowlers worked hard and struggled, bowled well, this target could have been a good target too.  But the runs were not stopped by their bowler and the wickets were not obtained due to which the match will be lost.  If they had put pressure on them, there would have been chances to win the match.  KKR batsmen have scored 164 runs in 13 overs to win the match.  And their batsmen have achieved this target very quickly and easily.  I didn't perform well in SRH because of which I couldn't give a tough target.  Even if their bats had given the target of 200, KKR batsmen were capable of hitting the full target.  But luck did not support them and they could not perform well.  Congratulations to KKR on the win.  His team has performed well today.Now if you try this next time you can win the match.  If they don't take interest, they will lose the match again.

The wickets taking scenario started with Mitchell Starc who put pressure in the powerplay and also got the out to Travis Head which was such a big loss for Sunrise Hyderabad because whenever Travis Head started to hit then he would not stop no matter it is ODI, test or a T20 match.

In the full season, Mitchel Starc didn’t play well and also dropped in some matches because he was not picking runs or giving runs to another team but in the semi-final, if the team goes to the final match then just because of him. Travis Head was just a crucial wicket and it put the whole Sunrisers Hyderabad team under a lot of pressure.

Now, he is playing as the backbone of the team. At that time, he was not in form and back to Australia but from the day he came back to India to play, he has been playing very amazingly. At this time,  the whole team of Sunrise Hyderabad was out on 159 and Kolkata Knight Riders took full advantage of this and chased this score with still more than five overs to spare. Well done, KKR team to reach the finals of the IPL 2024. What an achievement.  Smiley

Maybe I think there could be a big reason behind that wicket both are Australian team players and they both know each other more than anyone else and they also faced each other while practising in Australia which is why Mitchell Starc picked his wicket, and also not with any runout or catch, he has done clean bold to him  Smiley




At this point, I am pretty sure that this IPL does not mean anything. SRH has given a target of 160. Which is in no way a bad target. And KKR has been able to that total with 38 balls left. They have also done that with eight wickets in hand. This is just meaningless and a waste of time. whenever I tune in to watch the IPL I actually literally see that the ball is flying out of the ground. I mean I understand that people want to see lots of boundaries and over boundaries being hit in a T20 match. But this is a little too much.

I am saying this from a neutral point of view. I am not saying this just because this match was one-sided.

Bangladeshi Buttsmen are not able to bat well against a third -row team like USA. The team's performance is very weak in Test and T20 format. Even then I did not think I would see such a bad bat in Bangladesh against a team like USA.

Bangladesh team was able to collect only 5 wickets in 12 overs. The team is not able to collect 5 runs in every over. USA is a very inexperienced team. Bangladeshi players are not able to play well against this team. Captain Shanto has collected only 5 runs from 5 balls. Liton's Strike Rate was less than 1. Experienced players like Shakib have collected only 5 runs from 12 balls.

I do not know which match you are watching. But Shanto was only able to get three runs from 11 balls. And that is absolutely acceptable from a captain, especially against a team like the USA. The good thing is, in the end, Bangladesh was able to get to 153 thanks to Tawhid Ridoy and Mahmudullah. I still do not think it is going to be a good enough total for memories especially the way they are bowling right now. USA has already got 40 runs in just five overs. They have also only lost one wicket. There is a very big chance that Bangladesh is going to lose this match.

By the way, I want to talk about something. First of all, how did ICC actually agree to have the World Cup in a country like this where the field is going to be like the one that Bangladesh is playing on? It looks like a golf course filled with mud. And why the USA team is made out of almost 9 or 10 outsiders? Like they are literally giving callouts in Hindi. What the fuck is this? If this goes on for longer I think cricket is going to die out very soon.

KKR stormed their way into the finals. Wow! They are epic in literally every single department(Batting, Bowling and Fielding). Hyderabad were completely outclassed in this particular encounter.

Am expecting SRH to rise back up and take revenge successfully though in the final against them despite such a bad performance in this match.

Props to Cummins for taking SRH to defendable token, and Starc also shined in important match as seen often with the Aussies.

KKR completes the chase of 160 easily in 13.4 overs with the help of both the Iyers.

With how things have been lately, it appears only totals above 200 are competitive.

Despite losing two wickets we are having KKR in well control thanks to their openers Sunil Narain and wicket keeper batsman Rahmanullah Gurbaz after end of the 8 overs we are having 86 for 2 which is clearly showing things are under well control for win this Qualifier 1 and having their spot into final of this season with SRH which is having good batting throughout the season fail to give any positive impact on this important game with their bowling was already not good and KKR are taking good advantage of this weakness now we are having both Iyers on crease with both are looking for the commendable win which will give them good booster and confidence for the winning this year's title left-handed Venkatesh Iyer playing his best game as this is good season for him as well for having good performance throughout and good wins for his team.
