RCB is in control at the moment thanks to CSK fast bowlers bowling like crap while their spinners(Santner and Theekshana) are the only ones bowling well. They could have used someone like Ali in this match.

Rain threat is still looming around. Chennai need to try and restrict Bangalore under 210 in order to push the momentum in their favor. Exhilarating match!

It is a do or die match for both the teams. If you want to qualify for the playoffs, you have to win today's match by any means. Although the Chennai team is leading by two points, if they do not win today's match, the chances of qualifying for the next round of Chennai are low. However, if Chennai are defeated by a very narrow margin, Chennai will qualify for the next round.

The Bengaluru team managed to post a huge total of 218 in 20 overs. Every batsman in Bengaluru's top order batted very well. Maheesh Theekshana and Santner bowled well. If these two bowlers don't bowl well today, Bengaluru team would have given a target of at least 250+. However, both teams have equal chances of winning. It is not certain which team will win and qualify for the playoffs.

Excellent efforts from the RCBians and looks above par score but dew is there so it might play the spoiler in the 2nd inning as it's hard for the bowlers to grip the ball.

Also, if RCB wants to qualify for the playoffs then the margin of their victory must be 18 or more runs, anything less than 18 runs win and CSK will get through because of NRR. Expecting a cinema finish tonight, fingers crossed.

RCB team is batting very well today against Chennai Super Kings RCB opener duo Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli both batting very responsibly. Virat Kohli was dismissed for 47 runs from 29 balls and Faf du Plessis was dismissed for 54 runs from 39 balls. Cameron Green and Rajat Patidar are batting responsibly after the RCB two openers are out. Rajat Patidar and Cameron Green have batted brilliantly. Looking at RCB's current state of play, it looks like Chennai Super Kings can set a target of 220 runs. In today's match, the bowlers of Chennai Super Kings are not able to bowl very well due to which the batsmen of RCB went on a batting rampage.

RCB needs to be make 220-230 imo, to have good chance at winning this match by minimum 18 runs, there seems to be turn on pitch, may help Siraj, anyhow he must bowl good, he's only bowling hope RCB has.

By the way, in this season Chennai Super Kings got a chance to host very wonderful matches as they hosted the first match of the IPL and the last match of the IPL.
The first match was played between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Chennai Super Kings which was won by Chennai Super Kings and also now for sure the same thing will not happen means Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Chennai Super Kings play the final as they have played the first match. In short, the first match cannot be the last match. The date is 26th May when they can see them as winners once again for hope. But for this, they have to win today's match.

All English players have left to prepare for t20 world cup, and to play t20 tournament against Pakistan, Santner was included as Moeen Ali replacement.

This season luck seems to be on Patidar's side, he gets edge goes for your and if it goes to player, often it's a drop. Green is looking in good touch too, which is a rare sight tbh; there is all possibility that Gaikwad dropping Green may cost CSK good.

The first match of T20 series between Netherlands and Scotland has already started. The Netherlands team is batting at the beginning of today's match. The batting start of the Netherlands team is very good. The Netherlands team has collected 66 runs for no wicket in 8 overs so far. The two opening batsmen of the Netherlands team are batting comfortably without any pressure. Now it is impossible to say how long the two opening batsmen of the Netherlands team can sustain their performance. However, if the Netherlands team can maintain their run rate like this throughout the innings, then the Netherlands team can score big. Now let's see how many runs the Netherlands team ends the innings with as a target against the Scotland team in today's match.

The Scotland captain won the toss and elected to bowl first but their bowlers failed to capitalize on the opportunity. Netherlands opener Max O'Dowd and Michael Levitt batted very well but the partnership of the two did not progress much. Michael Levitt batted very well and got out with 43 runs off 31 balls. If Michael Levitt was not out, the team score of the Netherlands would have been higher. The way Netherlands are batting, they look like they can give Scotland a target of 180 runs. And if Scotland can do controlled bowling with a target of 180 runs, Netherlands will definitely have a chance to join. The current score of Netherlands is 80 runs for one wicket in 11 overs.

RCB are batting well after losing the toss. Virat Kohli and Faf Du Plessis are both responsible batting but need to increase their run rate. Current CRR of RCB: 7.43 If RCB want to give Chennai Super Kings a big target then they must increase their run rate. Batting responsibly, let's see how many runs the Chennai Super Kings can target in the end. During the three overs, the field was rained due to which the play was stopped. Today's match is important for both the teams. Let's see how many runs the batsmen of Royal Challengers Bangalore can give to Chennai Super Kings today.

I'm hoping for a RCB win. They had been a good team fighting to win on every match failing by small margins and with the continuation of performance and a bit luck, went into having winning streak placing them in position to be qualified into top 4.
CSK asked RCB to bat first and they are doing an impressive job, I'm expecting a target around 250 with current trend. Virat Kohli is still in the ground and they have only one wicket lost. But the weather may play against RCB. If weather keeps on restricting the game play, the overs might be shortened or points divided both of which would eliminate RCB.

It's RCB vs CSK vs Rain time! Am betting on rain to win in this mega-clash thanks to extremely high chances of rain throughout the day today. Bangalore fans are probably cursing the rain already.

They wouldn't have been in this position had they performed better in the first half of the season and won that match against KKR. Truly tough to be a RCB fan.

I think I will not go in favour of rain because at that situation RCB will officially out of the tournament which isn't fair because they way they make a comeback after long defeat run and delivered extra ordinary performance should not be allowed to runied so easily, I believe CSK get handsome amount of trophies now it's time for RCB to won at least a single trophy in 18 year journey of ipl also king kohli phenomenal performances indicate thier preparation for next critical stages so I am fully backing RCB to get the victory with full filling all requirements of qualifying for playsoff. Now let see who won the toss because from here the decision of semifinalist will decide if RCB failed to bat first and because in second scenario while ball first isn't much possible for them at current situation

The first three overs were played and just after these three overs, the rain came onto the ground that can destroyed the enjoyment of the match. However, in these three overs, the team of Royal Challengers Bengaluru had done very good score but hoped that when Virat Kohli and Faf Du Plessis came after the rain then they would play the same as they played before the rain.

Also, those three overs were played during the rain but at that time, the rain was very hard and I don’t think that it could be stopped but current information, but I don’t have. The rain was severe at that time.

RCB are batting well after losing the toss. Virat Kohli and Faf Du Plessis are both responsible batting but need to increase their run rate.

The T20 matches being played between Pakistan Women's team vs England Women's team shows how bad the batting performance of Pakistan Women's team is. Of course batsmen of Pakistan women team have weakness in batting so if Pakistan women team want to win against England women team they must focus on batting if England women team can't bat responsibly then they can never win the match. England women team is performing very well against Pakistan women team due to which England women team won two T20 matches. If the Pakistan women's team fails to bat responsibly in the third T20 match, it will be a whitewash. Especially the Pakistan Women's team batted very badly against England in the second T20 match, due to their poor batting, the Pakistan Women's team was bowled out for just 79 runs.

Yes you are right I also think Pakistan Women team has done a poor job batting in the T20 matches against England Women team. They need to get better at batting if they want to win in future. England has played very well and won first two matches because of their strong batting. Pakistan needs to do better in third match or they will lose all three matches of this series. Second match was especially bad with Pakistan getting only 79 runs in total which shows they really need to improve their batting and need more practice.

If you observe the performance of Pakistan women team first T20 match against England women team definitely Pakistan women team bowlers bowled aggressively from the beginning and in every match Pakistan women bowlers are bowling very well if their batsmen can perform well then definitely Pakistan women team would have won Pakistan women batsmen should focus on their batting in the third T20I. Pakistan Women's bowlers need to bat as well as Pakistan Women's batsman to win against England in the third T20I. On the other hand, England women's team must be commended as they performed very well in both the matches and won both the matches due to their excellent performance. If Pakistan women's team wants to avoid whitewash against England then they must win the third T20I or else they will face whitewash in T20I series against England. Let's see how responsible Pakistan women's batting is in the end.

More power to them and they should if they are offered good money. I am in for players, doesn't matter which league they prefer as long as they are making big bucks and securing their future. In short, they should look at their long term benefits and interests. Also, let the market decide the outcome and should drive the price up for every deserving candidate.

The question would be if Pathirana is comfortable enough to take such a big step. He was an uncapped Lankan when CSK got him and nurtured him. Finally, his stocks are up in CSK's camp so a big paycheck is coming sooner than later. The same goes for Jake, he's uncapped too.

Well.. I just gave 2 random examples. Even with current IPL salaries, I don't think that there is any chance that either Pathirana or JFM preferring any other T20 franchise league over the IPL. At this point, IPL is the most popular T20 league in the world, and that too by a distance. And for younger players, salary check is not the only concern. On the other hand, players closer to retirement (such as Pollard and Wiese) maybe tempted to try their luck with the PSL (similar to Cristiano Ronaldo getting a fat pay check from Al Nassr).

As I mentioned in my previous posts. The same scheduling is good as far as unsold players (in IPL auctions) are concerned, it also applies to senior citizens of cricket.

Pollard already got a coaching gig with Mumbai Indian and he's also representing MI Cape Town as captain. I think no IPL franchise is interested in Wiese anymore so he can surely benefit from the PSL. Similarly, PSL should target Smith as well.

We are witnessing one match full of failures from Pakistan women's team, they also lost badly against West Indies women's team few days back. Now the England women's team series is going on with them. England women team batted first and got a strong score of 163 runs for 6 wickets in 20 overs. England women's top order batsmen did not play well but their lower order batsmen performed very well bye they scored so many runs. On the other hand, all the batsmen of Pakistan team failed to give their best performance due to which they could not cross the target given by England women team. Apart from Sadaf Shamas, the batting performance of any other batsman of Pakistan women's team is not worth seeing.

It is Pak-W 6th defeat in last seven T20I they have played. Recently they lost 4-1 to WI in Pakistan and now things are not looking good in England as Pakistan has lost the series and only thing they can do at the moment is to avoid the whitewash. Terrible batting by Pakistan team in second T20I, eight players were not able to make it to double figures while chasing a target of 145.

The way the batsmen of Lucknow Super Giants are batting, it seems that Mumbai Indians will not be able to give a big target to Mumbai Indians. Lucknow Super Giants current score is 70 runs for 3 wickets. Looking at their current state of play, it seems that if they bat well, they can give Mumbai Indians a target of 170 runs. Can Lucknow Super Giants. If the bowlers of Mumbai Indians can restrict Lucknow Super Giants to 170 runs then Mumbai Indians will not have much problem to win the match. Although it doesn't matter whether Mumbai Indians win or lose in today's match, Mumbai Indians are at the bottom of the points table, so maybe the captain of Mumbai Indians wants to end the last match with a win. Let's see if Mumbai Indians win today's match?

Lucknow Super Giants batting performance is amazing in this match winning by 18 runs against Mumbai Indians. The Player of the Match Nicholas Pooran from Lucknow Super Giants for his outstanding batting performance scored 75 runs from just 30 balls, unfortunately missed his well deserved century by few runs short but reached the team total to 200 plus runs. Lucknow Super Giants moved to 6th position on point table after winning this match.

Despite winning yesterday's match and moving up to number 6 in the points table, Lucknow Super Giants could not make gains as they were already eliminated. If they could have performed like Lucknow's incredible performance against Mumbai Indians in the previous three matches of this match, they might have been able to play in the qualifier round. But they failed to sustain their good performance even when they didn't need to perform well, they performed well in their last match. I see this as the main reason why Lucknow Super Giants could not play in the Qualifier round due to three consecutive defeats. However West Indian Nicholas Poran's performance was the most surprising in the match as he scored 75 runs off just 29 balls while batting at a strike rate of 258.62

Like I said PSL running parallel to IPL, is an opportunity for every foreign unsold player in the IPL.

Well... there are 10 IPL franchises, and therefore a total of 80 foreign players can participate in the IPL. But even among them, the salaries are quite divergent. For example, if you take a look at the Chennai Super Kings, the salary range of foreign players varies from $25,000 for Matheesha Pathirana, to $1.8 million for Daryl Mitchell. PSL franchises can easily pick someone like Pathirana by offering 2x or 4x the current salary. Same is the case with Delhi Capitals. David Warner can't find a place in the starting XI, and salary for Jake Fraser-McGurk is just $63,000.

More power to them and they should if they are offered good money. I am in for players, doesn't matter which league they prefer as long as they are making big bucks and securing their future.
