Watching the IPL games, it seems that all the players playing in the IPL especially the bowlers are being tortured. International cricket does not take place in them, as the batsmen get a chance as well as the bowler can bowl well. The impact player rule in the IPL as well as making such wickets just for runs has gone against the bowlers. Due to such rules in the IPL, many bowlers have been seen speaking directly about these issues. BCCI should plan for the next season on these issues to maintain the quality of IPL.

Had Lizaad Williams taken that catch of Salt, match could have gotten bit interesting, he's backbone of KKR this season, if he's back to pavilion early, rest of team comes under huge pressure.

And for spin they have Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav. Two world class bowlers, who are out of form at the moment.

Kuldeep and Axar are good as they get, always taking crucial wickets in middle overs. Even in massacre against SRH, these two alone shined.

Delhi Capitals had a high number of wickets falling, with players falling from the start. Although they ended up with 153 runs, this 153 runs would be impossible for Kolkata Knight Riders to ever challenge. Because I have seen the previous games Delhi Capital team can not perform well in terms of bowling. Basically, they bowled Axar Patel in the last minute, he was the only one who performed well, but the rest of the players of the Delhi Capitals team did not perform well in terms of bowling. Losing this match the Delhi Capitals team moved to the sixth position in the points table, if Axar Patel and the rest of the bowlers could have performed well then the Delhi Capitals team would have won.
Here can be the two reasons. First you can say that Delhi Capitals batsmen need more practice or you can say they were weak in batting line. And second we can say that Kolkata Knight Riders bowling line was really good. And they out 9 of the wickets of Delhi Capitals team. Because Varun bowled aggressively and collected 3 wickets. Kuldeep Yadav was playing well. A bowler was fulfilling the space of batsman but that wasn't enough to win. Delhi Capitals should focus on the mistakes to resolve them. I hope they will make a good comeback in the next match.
How will the Delhi Capitals team players improve their batting performance, five wickets fall in the power play. The first five wickets are attacking batsmen, if they get out there are no players left to perform for long. Due to the dismissal of strong batsmen, Delhi captains team collected this small target of 153 runs. However, Kolkata Knight Riders won only because of the bowling performance of the team, and Salt, who played the most role, gave the best batting performance.

We have seen poor performance from Delhi players in both the matches against Kolkata. After conceding a humiliating defeat in the first match I thought Delhi would play well in yesterday's match. Because the team was able to win against Mumbai and Gujarat in the last two matches. Even then Delhi batsmen could not bat well against Kolkata. I cannot call a target of 154 runs a good target on this pitch.

In the first match, Delhi lost four wickets in 6 overs of the power play, and in the second match, Delhi lost 5 wickets in the first 6 overs. After such a poor start one cannot expect big collections from the team. However, the win in this match saw Kolkata retain the second place in the points table. Kolkata's chances of losing the second place in the points table are very low.

DC scored 153/9 today, not many big hits.

DC won the toss and opted to bat first at Eden Gardens. Unfortunately, their decision didn't work out as they were bundled out for just 153 runs! The top order failed, but Kuldeep's contributions helped Delhi put up a fight with the ball. It was impressive to see Kolkata Knight Riders' bowlers perform well, restricting Delhi Capitals to a low score. Now, Kolkata needs 154 runs to win. KKR seems to have the upper hand.
Today Delhi Capitals face Kolkata Knight Riders at their home ground in Kolkata. Delhi Capitals have put up a very simple equation in front of Kolkata Knight Riders in today's match. Batting first, Delhi Capitals scored 153 runs in the 47th match of IPL, which Kolkata Knight Riders will easily overcome and reach the port of victory. Kolkata Knight Riders bowlers played well against Delhi Capitals batsmen today. Varun Chakraborty bowled brilliantly today, he bowled four overs and took three wickets against Delhi Capitals with four economy rate.

Kolkata Knight Riders' 2 opening batsmen have already entered the crease and they have been batting aggressively from the start. Phil Salt and Sunil Narine both come in to open the innings let's see how far they can take their team.
The bowlers of Kolkata Knight Riders bowled aggressively from the beginning, due to which the batsmen of Delhi Capitals could not bat very well. Delhi Capitals collected 153 runs in the scheduled 20 overs. Batsmen in Delhi Capitals did not bat that well. Kuldeep Yadav scored 35 runs off 26 balls for Delhi Capitals. Delhi Capitals lost the match against Kolkata Knight Riders in today's match because of their poor batting. Delhi Capitals batsmen should have done more responsible batting because Kolkata batting line is very strong to win against them Delhi Capitals must give a target of 200 runs and controlled bowling only then victory against Kolkata Knight is possible. Kolkata Knight Riders did not have much problem to win the target of 154 runs given by Delhi Capitals. Kolkata Knight Riders won by 7 wickets against Delhi Capitals. Congratulations to Kolkata Knight Riders for a great win.

You are right if the bowlers of Delhi Capitals could have bowled aggressively from the start against Kolkata then maybe Delhi Capitals would have won the match. However, due to lack of responsible batting by Delhi Capitals batsmen, Kolkata Knight Riders were given a target of just 154 runs which was very easy for Kolkata. Because Kolkata Knight Riders batting line is quite strong so to win the match against them must give a target of 200 plus runs otherwise it will not be possible to win the match against Kolkata. Because the batting line of Delhi Capitals is quite strong, but the bowlers of Kolkata Knight Riders bowled well in yesterday's match. Due to their aggressive bowling from the start, Kolkata Knight Riders limited a strong team like Delhi Capitals to 153 runs in the allotted 20 overs. The Kolkata Knight Riders batsmen did not have much trouble to win the target of 154 runs as KKR won easily by seven wickets.

I stand with Palestine.
Babar azam played good at last match, even tried to do well in others matches too. But it seems, his luck supported him to do best in 5th match.even his fans were expected from him to make a century but unfortunately he did 69 from 44 balls. Even it is hard to make century from T20. Besides Fakhar Zaman also played well. But there was a man whom we can't ingore, is Shaheen Afridi! He showed his talent in every matches, even destroyed New Zealand within 90 runs in 2nd match. And in 5th match, he did great contribution to make his team win. Cause new Zealand had opportunity to made more runs but due to lack of wickets, they failed. This man really impressed everyone and become selected as Man of the match and player of the series both.
Yes you are right. Just due to this. I will give winning credit to three players of the team. That are Babar Azam Shaheen Shah Afridi and Usama Mir. Babar Azam pull the score and made enough target for New Zealand team. Usama Mir collected 2 crucial wickets and Shaheen Shah Afridi also collected 4 wickets. So over all there were an example of team work. And that was an important match for Pakistan and they won the match and tie the series. Smiley

A few seasons ago, Delhi Capitals had one of the best bowling lineups for any team in the Indian Premier League. They had strike bowlers such as Kagiso Rabada and Anrich Nortje, who formed a formidable pair. But once Rabada left the franchise, Nortje was defanged. On Rabada's place now they have Khaleel Ahmed and Rasikh Salam, who are simply not having the same skill set. And for spin they have Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav. Two world class bowlers, who are out of form at the moment.

Babar Azam was playing yesterday night with aggression because, at any time, he would not hit the boundary on the shot or cannot make double to single then he was showing aggression and it seemed like Babar Azam wanted to hit the century but he wanted to make 100 just because in the last some matches of this series, he was not playing that is why he was playing fast yesterday but he played very well.

I think Delhi Capitals lost because their batters did not play well against Kolkata Knight Riders. Even though Kolkata bowlers were tough it was up to Delhi batters to score more runs but KKR has some excellent bowlers like Varun, Harshit and Arora. They bowled really well especially Varun who collected 3 wickets. And just due to this DC only got 153 runs in 20 overs which was not enough to beat Kolkata. Like we can see how Phil Salt made the match full salty by making 68 runs. After him Shreyas was playing good but they chased while he made 33 runs. Congratulations to KKR. Smiley
Batting line of Delhi Capitals is also strong but against Kolkata Knight Riders Delhi Capitals batsmen could not bat that well due to which the match was lost by 7 wickets against Kolkata Nice Riders. However, against Delhi Capitals, the bowlers of Kolkata Knight Riders bowled aggressively from the start due to which no batsman of Delhi Capitals could bat responsibly. This was the worst performance of Delhi Capitals in IPL. Delhi Capitals performed fairly well but we did not see their old performance against Kolkata. But Kolkata Knight Riders have to be praised because the Kolkata bowlers are on fire. Bowled very well due to which the Kolkata batsmen did not have to work very hard. They won easily against Delhi Capitals.

Unfortunately I have also missed to place bet on this match. Maybe if I had placed some bucks earlier in today's match, some money would have been earned.
Before the start of this match, I thought that today's match will be won by none other than Kolkata. The performance of Delhi Capitals is not looking very good and for that their performance is going as bad as the last Indian Premier League.
I think you should feel lucky, as at the same time instead winning few bucks you can get empty hands because the way Dehli show intend and strength in his previous match by scoring more than 200 runs as a target and won the important match against strong side as same can possibly be done against KKR too as mostly when team got momentum they get his way at any difficult situation, so to be honest I wasn't in favour of anyone I believe 50/50 for both side as both can divert results in thier favour. Anyway come to results where just like usually Kolkata get the important points  and demolish his opponent not just through his bowler but through his vital batting performance of especially thier top order. Hope the highest paid pacer will deliver impactful delivery soon as currently he is a bit off colour

Unfortunately I miss this match today. I have seen this match about till that time when Delhi capitals lose their 5 wickets. But there run rate was good. Unfortunately I have also missed to place bet on this match. Maybe if I had placed some bucks earlier in today's match, some money would have been earned.

Saim Ayub has been given too many chances in T20I and he is yet to score a fifty despite the fact he came as an opener. In his fifteen T20I innings, he has scored 219 runs with an average of 14.60. It's time for Pakistan team to let him play domestic cricket and try some new opener who can score runs for the team. T20 World Cup is coming up and if Pakistan can't beat New Zealand second-tier team then what they will go against full strength teams.   


Just on a side note New Zealand's jersey for the World Cup has been ready and we will see them wear a blue shirt in the World Cup of 2024 which will start after a month in June.

By the way, in the latest seasons after 2021, New Zealand jerseys are just as good as the World Cup jersey of 2023, their jersey was not good and before 2021, they had a very good type of jersey.
I think the most iconic jersey was the jersey of 2020 but at that time, we were not able to see them wear that jersey in that  World Cup as the World Cup did not happen in that year due to COVID-19 however this current jersey is too much simple.

A target of 153 runs is not a big target for a team like Kolkata. Kolkata batsmen are in very good form. In almost every match the team is able to play well and score high. I thought today we might not see good bowling from the Kolkata bowlers. But Kolkata bowlers bowled well today. Delhi's innings stopped at just 152 runs.

Varun Chakrawarthy and Sunil Narine bowled very well today. Narine took only 1 wicket. But he gave only 24 runs in 4 overs. On the other hand, Varun conceded 16 runs in 4 overs, and picked up three important wickets.

At the end of 2 overs, Kolkata collected 27 runs. However, Kolkata collected 23 runs in the first over. Delhi bowlers will lose today's match very badly if they don't pick up quick wickets. In the first match too, the Delhi team was defeated by a margin of 100+ runs against Kolkata.

Delhi looks cooked tonight and it appears they already lost the match and might end up boosting KKR's run rate for the final run.

Atm their best bet would be to play their 20 overs quota and try reaching the 150 mark and if Dew is not there then hope, their spinners also get a similar purchase from the pitch as Chakaravarthy. 
Yeah. It looks like they will end up going above 150 which actually seems pretty good on this bowler friendly pitch. Loving the fact that bowlers finally are in an advantageous position over batsmen for a change.

If DC bowls really well like in recent matches, I think KKR could be in trouble. Entertaining match overall!
If Kuldeep and Axar can tackle the Dew issue then they could seriously trouble the KKR's batters as they are quality spinners but at the same time KKR's batting lineup is packed with some spin bashers so it should be a contest.

Hope, they don't make a mockery of this chase and finish the match within 15 overs lol. I'd prefer some collapse and nail biting contest because low scoring chase are fun to watch.
