Entertaining stuff from GT openers, this is what they have been missing all this season. Luck was also on GT's side today.

They kinda choked in last 5 overs though, couldn't get as many runs as they could have, Tewatia might have been better choice after Gill/Sai departure imo, 233 target is still chaseable, match hasn't completely slipped from CSK yet.

On irrelevant note, I used to watch English commentory but Hindi is much funnier.
Yeah, the scoring went down in the last 5 overs. Kudos to CSK's bowlers for nailing wide deliveries perfectly.

Listen to Bhojpuri, Punjabi or Haryanvi, it's worth it. Bit of bastardization of the Punjabi language but still pure gold at times.


Crisis mode is activated in CSK's camp, losing is alright but taking a hit on run rate could be dangerous. DC, RCB, Lucknow, or to some extent, SRH won't mind that.

The toss was done and Ireland won the toss and they chose to field first which I think it’s a good idea because the Pakistan bowlers can be able to out them for less score but when Pakistan was batting first they hoped that Ireland understood in the first overs that they cannot win this match.

Also, Muhammad Amir is not playing this because he didn’t get a visa for Ireland (he will get visa & be available for next two t20 matches) but I think that in the first match, they have to give a chance to Haris Rauf but for the next matches, they give a chance to him for sure because he came after injury and have to test him.

Muhammad Haris is also a good option in T20 instead of Rizwan but due to Muhammad Rizwan good ties with Babar Azam he is included in T20 squad despite having low scoring rate. After 4 overs Pakistan scored is 21 and they have lost wicket of Muhammad Rizwan. Azam Khan who has scored 29 runs in 7 innings is once again included in the squad just because he is son of ex-Pakistani wicket keeper Moin Khan.

In today’s match, Babar Azam didn’t open the innings which was not good and for sure in the next match he will open the innings because whenever he came to one down in T20 match then always, one of them out early as today Rizwan out early without any reason but when Babar Azam came then the situation was all right.

After that, we saw too late the partnership between Saim Ayub and Babar Azam was broken. Pakistan gave a very good target and I think that with this Pakistan can easily win the match as they gave such a good target of 189 runs and the Pakistan bowlers should not allow them to chase it.

The way Chennai Super Kings bowlers are performing against Gujarat Titans is really disappointing bowling. I definitely remember Matheesha Pathirana and Mostafizur Rahman in today's match. If these 2 players could have played for Chennai Super Kings today, Gujarat Titans batsmen would have been under a lot of pressure. These two batsmen Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan batted very well, both of them scored centuries. Shubman Gill 51 balls Unbeaten on 101 ran and Sai Sudharsan is unbeaten on 103 off 50 balls. Chennai Super Kings bowlers should have bowled more responsibly as today's match was very important for Super Kings to win as they are fourth in the points table if today's match is lost against Gujarat Titans then Chennai Super Kings will go down in the points table.

Gujarat's two openers batted very aggressively today. Both the openers scored centuries and Gujarat's collection from the opening pair was 210 runs. Sai Sudarsan managed to score 103 and Shubman Gill 104 runs. The two openers batted well. This is the first time that two openers have scored a century in this year's IPL.

Chennai's bowling was very controlled in the last 5 overs. After 15 overs, Gujarat's collection was 190 runs. And in the last 5 overs Gujarat collected only 41 runs. I thought Gujarat team would score at least 60-70 runs in the last 5 overs. However, a target of 232 runs will be enough to win if Gujarat's bowlers can bowl well. If the bowlers don't bowl well, Gujarat will be defeated today. Because the pitch is completely batting friendly and Chennai's batting order is also strong. Raturaj Gaikwad is in excellent form.

However, I still don't know which team will win today's match.
Today, Gujarat Titans gave a great innings, finishing with a partnership of 210 runs in the opening pair, Gujarat Titans will play a great role in winning today's match. Chennai Super Kings did not bowl well in today's match especially Mitchell Santner and Ravindra Jadeja failed to bowl well as Gujarat Titans scored 231 runs today. It will be very difficult for Chennai Super Kings to win in today's match especially if they don't play aggressive innings then surely there is 100% chance of Chennai Super Kings losing in today's match.

*STOP NOWHERE*
But today I am very annoyed by the batting of the Bangladeshi middle order batsmen. Captain Shanto scored 2 runs from 7 balls. Although Hridoy batted well in the last few matches, today he got out after collecting 12 runs. Besides, none of Sakib, Rishad and Jaker Ali could bat well. The way Bangladesh started batting today. I thought Bangladesh would give the team a target around 170-180 today. But Bangladesh has given the team a target of 144 runs.

Although the Bangladeshi batsmen could not bat well, the bowlers bowled well enough. Taskin has already picked up two wickets and Shakib one. Zimbabwe lost 3 wickets to collect 32 runs in 4.4 overs.

Bangladesh set a small target of 144 runs. Even then Bangladesh team won the match quite easily. Zimbabwe lost all their wickets in 19.4 overs. Zimbabwe lost by 5 runs in this match.

I expected good batting from Shakib. Shakib is now the most experienced player in the Bangladesh squad. Shakib and Shanto also failed to bat responsibly in this match.

But Shakib bowled brilliantly today. Also the bowling of Mustafiz and Taskin was quite good. Shakib took 4 wickets and Mustafiz 3 wickets today. Bangladesh managed to win this match due to controlled bowling.

Azam Khan who has scored 29 runs in 7 innings is once again included in the squad just because he is son of ex-Pakistani wicket keeper Moin Khan.

Today we are going to see Azam Khan once again and he is not good at thinking, I think instead of him, Babar Azam has to go with Haris Rauf in this match or with Usman Khan. As we saw Azam khan was out on a duck. Disappointing  Undecided

I don’t think that in the first two matches, the best player Usman Khan will going to play in Ireland, also the other whole squad is very good and today Rizwan also came back from injury, and let’s see what he does, I hope that he is still in form. But unfortunately was was run out. The ground boundaries are too small that is why I think that the Pakistan team can take full advantage of this. They need to score big today and if they fail, it will be a big upset before the World Cup and a question mark on their World Cup preparations.

Punjab must be the most consistent team in the IPL regarding not making it into playoffs. I don't remember when was the last time they qualified for playoffs.

It Must be close to a decade. They are more like Afghanistan and only entertainment fans with some thrillers and then shit the bed with some win here and there.
Agreed. So many stars performed really well for them over the years like Gayle, Rahul, Sehwag etc, but they never managed to win a single cup yet which probably won't change anytime soon unless they make some huge changes.

I may be on minority on this one but I find their team good, I feel like they are lacking proper guidance.
They always had a good team and looked good on paper in almost every season.

It's just they don't back their players for long and consistently fail to build core, foreign or most importantly Indian players. I won't be surprised if they even drop the likes of Shashank Singh and Ashutosh Sharma after some failure, not soon though because they got em at a base price like 20-ish lakh or something.

The match of Gujarat Titans vs Chennai Super Kings team has already started.Gujarat Titans team now come to bat.Gujarat Titans team has scored 43 runs in 4 overs so far Gujarat Titans team has not lost any wicket.Sai Sudharsan scored 21 runs from 17 balls.Shubman Gill scored 21 runs from 9 balls.  If Gujarat Titans team bats well in today's match, they can give a target of 170 runs. However, I still don't know which team will win today's match.
Gujarat Titans vs Chennai Super Kings today match is very important for Chennai Super Kings because if they can win today match then they will be at number three in the points table. Gujarat Titans are not in a good position in the points table. Gujarat Titans will not be able to take advantage. Chennai Super Kings decided to bowl to win the toss but the Chennai Super Kings bowlers could not take advantage of it. Gujarat Titans batting very responsibly from the start. The opening pair of Sai Sudharsan and Shubman Gill are batting if the Chennai Super Kings bowlers cannot get them out. Chennai Super Kings can be very dangerous. So Chennai Super Kings bowlers should break this pair very quickly. Let's finally see how well Chennai Super Kings can bowl against Gujarat Titans.

Bangladesh vs Zimbabwe 4th T20 match

To prepare themselves for the T20 World Cup, Bangladesh team has organized this T20 series to play a five-match T20 series with Zimbabwe. In which the fourth T20 match of the series is being held today, Bangladesh has won the previous three matches against Zimbabwe and has a 3-0 lead in the series. Bangladesh is batting first in the fourth T20 match and even the first opening batsmen of the Bangladesh team have made a very good start today.The two opening batsmen of the Bangladesh team, Tanjid Hasan Tamim and Soumya Sarkar made a powerful pair of 101 runs off sixty eight balls.

After the opening pair played well we saw a sudden drop in rhythm among the middle order batsmen due to which they are now getting out at regular intervals. When Bangladesh's run was 123, they lost three wickets, now Bangladesh's total is 132 but eight wickets have fallen. Although experienced Shakib Al Hasan was added to the team today, he did not bat well and got out for one run in just three balls.

Bangladesh team has already won the series by winning the first three T20 matches. However, if you want to do well in the World Cup, you must find out the weaknesses of Bangladesh's squad in this series. And take the necessary steps to fix the weaknesses. Then maybe Bangladesh can do well in the next World Cup.

The two Bangladeshi openers Tanjid and Soumyo got off to a brilliant start. Bangladesh collected 101 runs from the first wicket pair in just 11.2 overs. But the interesting thing is that even though the team could collect 101 runs from the first wicket pair, Bangladesh's total collection is 143 runs. Bangladesh lost all wickets in 19.5 overs. If they bat like that, we cannot expect a good performance from the Bangladesh team in the next World Cup.

Young opener of Bangladesh squad Tanzid opener played very well today. He got out after collecting 52 runs from just 37 balls. Soumyo Sarker was also dismissed for 41 off 34 balls. Both the openers batted well today.

I like to treat everyone as a friend 🔹
It was Bangladesh who formed a partnership of 101 runs in the first wicket pair, but nine wickets fell in the next 42 runs. If Zimbabwe can deal with the ball in a proper defensive mood in today's match then it can be assumed that Zimbabwe will have the most chances to go in today's match.
Speaking of this, if Taskin Ahmed's number four ball falls the first wicket of Zimbabwe, then it will be very difficult for Zimbabwe to win today's match.

The Bangladesh team batted well in the beginning and scored more runs than them, I think that is enough for them to win. We have already seen that Bangladesh team has won three matches and today is the fourth match, and they have the highest chances of winning. The Bangladesh team has given a target of 144 runs by scoring an average of 143 runs and the Zimbabwe team has been struggling to meet this target. I am still feeling the match and seeing the game is bowling much better than the bowling line of the Bangladesh team due to which they were able to take three wickets. Moreover, the Zimbabwean team is facing a disappointment at the moment in that they will not be successful in winning the match against Bangladesh. At the moment, they have collected 32 runs and lost three wickets, If they do not play well, then Zimbabwe will lose.

Ireland vs Pakistan

Pakistan tour to Ireland. These two teams will play the T20l series of three matches. And today is the first match. But if we will take a look on the squads so we will see that Pakistan's squad is much better as compare to Ireland team. And I am looking this match as one sided match. And I think Pakistan will win the series with 3-0. But we can't underestimate the Ireland team they also can play well and can give tough time Pakistan. So Pakistan should not take them easy. By the way my best wishes are with Pakistan because I am Pakistani and I really hope that Pakistan will win today match. Smiley
Pakistan team can definitely win this match because throughout the season Pakistan team performed very well and strongly. Because Pakistan team players are very experienced and hardworking their bowling line and batting line is very good, but opposite team Ireland is not that strong. So in today's T20 match, both the teams will definitely try to perform well, but the chances of Ireland losing to the Pakistani team will be very high. Because Babar Azam will be the captain in this match, his intelligence and strategy is very good and he will do enough to take his team to the winning end.

I did not expect Bangalore to score 240+ even though Punjab helped them a lot by dropping catches everywhere. Kohli and Patidar being dropped on zero and going on to score big says everything about Punjab's fielding.

However, Punjab chased down 262 recently which is why anything can happen. It's truly embarassing though seeing the burden fall on Shashank's shoulders every single time thanks to other batsmen playing like newbies.
Yes, their batsmen have done very well in the match and will push the target very high.  And their bowler from the top made the target more difficult by stopping the runs with even more effort and struggle.  Punjab King's fielder has given away the match with his own hands.  But fate also did not support them.  And SRH batsmen also scored runs with their best effort and interest.  Punjab King's batsmen could have achieved this target.  But their batsmen did not put enough effort due to which they will lose the match.

Pakistan is favorite in this match. However, it is very difficult to make predictions about Pakistan's performance. Because we don't see good performance from Pakistani players against New Zealand squad. Pakistan's performance in the series against New Zealand was quite poor. The performance of almost every batsman in the squad was erratic.

Ireland won the toss and decided to field against Pakistan today. The pitch condition looks like quite a batting friendly pitch. If Pakistan wants to win, the batsmen must bat responsibly and provide big targets. But I wouldn't be surprised at all if Ireland win this match. Pakistani players are not in good form now.

I'm glad Gill came to his senses one more time and decided to sit Saha out (he had benched him before for one match and then brought him back again), Saha has always been a walking wicket, second change is that Tyagi is in, curious to see how he performs as well.

I really hope GT will try to take advantage of powerplay this time around , it's base that decides what score team will be able to make at eof inning.

Punjab must be the most consistent team in the IPL regarding not making it into playoffs. I don't remember when was the last time they qualified for playoffs.

It Must be close to a decade. They are more like Afghanistan and only entertainment fans with some thrillers and then shit the bed with some win here and there.
Agreed. So many stars performed really well for them over the years like Gayle, Rahul, Sehwag etc, but they never managed to win a single cup yet which probably won't change anytime soon unless they make some huge changes.

I may be on minority on this one but I find their team good, I feel like they are lacking proper guidance.
