Today Kolkata Knight Riders vs Punjab Kings will face each other this match today definitely I will put Kolkata Knight Riders ahead, Kolkata Knight Riders are performing very well in this IPL and are at number two in the points table. In today's match, Kolkata Knight Riders will surely perform some great performances against Punjab Kings. Especially the opener of Kolkata Knight Riders, Sulin Narayani, we will definitely see some great batting from his batting in today's match. It is expected that Kolkata Knight Riders will easily defeat Punjab Kings in today's match.
NZ batsmen have done a good job and now there bowlers are doing good job. Pakistan in deep trouble as they have lost three key wickets in power play and score is 48. NZ are very much in control of the match at the moment and Pakistan need someone to bat exceptionally well to get team out of this troubled situation. Shadab Khan and Fakhar Zaman are batting at the moment and all eyes on this pair to perform something for the country.
From the start of the match, I was thinking about why Shadab Khan was not doing the bowling in today’s match, he did only fielding in this innings, maybe he could have got a chance to be bat in this innings and this is what happened
I think instead of Usama Mir, he has to play. By the way, Usama Mir is the most poorest player ever, I don’t know how he made his place into the World Cup 2023 but I think that was his first and the last World Cup because till now his performance is not like that he comes in the squad of the World Cup 2024 which would be played into 20 overs format.
It's a strange strategy by Pakistan to go with two all-rounders, i.e. Shadab Khan and Imad Wasim. Both are spinners and not very effective bowlers. Shadab was not given bowl because Imad Wasim was bowling. Abbas Afridi was good with the bowl as he picked 3 wickets while rest of bowlers struggle to get wickets and gave away too many runs. Pakistan have to win last match to level the series.
First, there were issues in the middle order, and now the opening order problem is growing in the Pakistani team. Captain Babar isn't scoring, and despite having Shadab Khan and Imad Wasim, who were heroes in the PSL, they couldn't perform against New Zealand's second-string team on their home turf. Their failure to capitalize on home advantage resulted in poor outcomes. Credit to the Blackcaps for their strong performance. With a 2-1 lead, they have the upper hand to win the series.
RCB win by 35 runs against mighty Sunrise Hyderabad RCB got their first win in this IPL. rcb has some great batsmen and bowlers but this is the condition of rcb team not to improve their performance if batsman and bowlers can perform regularly responsible performance then definitely win with any team. As soon as RCB got their first win in the match yesterday, Virat Kohli's smile has touched the hearts of thousands of Virat fans. Rising to bat against the target of 207 runs given by RCB, Sunrise Hyderabad was under a lot of pressure after losing wickets at the beginning. But I thought to myself that maybe Sunrise Hyderabad will beat RCB very easily. Again proof is that cricket is a game of uncertainty that can win against any team at any time bowling from the start.171 runs in just 20 overs Sunrise Hyderabad has done it.
I also do not know what needs to be changed in Royal Challengers Bengaluru team so that they may perform better in the next IPL season, Maybe the problem is at the management end, at the player's end or something is wrong with the team selection. We do not have the exact idea of the problem as the players playing in Royal Challengers Bengaluru, play best cricket when not play IPL, that is in the International matches etc, So defiantly it is not that Royal Challengers Bengaluru have selected poor performing cricketers. Not all all.
The answer lies in team balance. They do have world class batsmen such as Kohli, du Plessis and Maxwell. But what about the bowling? They have Siraj and he is the only experienced guy in their squad who can bowl. Ferguson is simply not suitable for T20 format. Too wayward and expensive. Then they have Yash Dayal, who is yet to recover from the thrashing that he received during last season. Alzarri Joseph was a huge disappointment so far in this season. And then they don't have a quality spin bowler.
LOL.. I noticed it. What I am saying is that it is even difficult to imagine (the scenario where Royal Challengers Bengaluru lifting the trophy at Indian Premier League. They were the runners up three times, if I am not wrong. But I think they will never become the champions as long as Virat Kohli is there. He is the ultimate panauti, both for his franchise and also for the Indian national team. Their women's team have already lifted the WPL trophy. But even after one and half decades the men's team simply can't become the champions even once.

Guess SRH batters lost motivation to perform this time because they couldn't have outperform themselves since there was definite target to chase.
Also, people are celebrating RCB's win over SRH a lot more than say there is substance in it. Imagine if RCB were to actually were to win the trophy, these people gonna go crazy.

Yesterday, if Imad Wasim had done something good then today we are saying that Pakistan won last night's match and at that time, I remembered an inning of Imad Wasim where the situation was like this.
On that occasion he was on strike while Afghanistan bowler present on the opposite side and Imad Wasim already decided to give them lose, and until the last ball my hope were the same but when the bowler released the ball from his hands and Imad Wasim tried to hit on the offside but in that ball, nobody can be hit six instant of Roman Powell. Only he had the ability to be play that type of ball out of the ground.
I think it was difficult to blame the batsmen's fault for this loss as no batsman in the world can hit a sure shot six on the last ball. It's just a game of chance at that time. The team should have batted well before so they don't have to face this last ball six runs required situation.

Indonesia's Rohmalia set a world record on debut by picking up 7 wickets with 0 runs.
ESPNcricinfo
We usually see different records in the game of cricket but this time cricket world and it saw different records. The record I am talking about is Indonesia's off-spin bowler Rohmalia who took Mongolia's seven wickets for nil on his debut. Rohmalia achieved the feat in the fifth T20 match between Indonesia and Mongolia. On the day of his incredible feat, his team Indonesia amassed 151 for 5 but were bundled out for 24 runs when his Mongolian team came out to bat. The Mongolian batsmen collected 20 runs for two wickets in 10 overs and Rohmalia's bowling rampage started from then on. We wish him a bright future so that he can give better performances in the future and even keep up his good bowling performance.

LOL.. RCB winning the trophy? Are you serious about this? More than half of the matches in group phase are done till now, and Royal Challengers Bengaluru are at the rock bottom of the points table (despite winning the last match against Sunrisers Hyderabad). Even if they win all of their remaining matches, there is virtually zero chance that they will qualify for the knockout phase. But then I agree with what you are saying. RCB has one of the largest and strongest fanbases for any franchise in the IPL.
Also Imad Wasim did comeback in a good way but I think his performance didn’t come back. Bababr Azam belive on him that he would be do the bowling as he have done in the PSL final or Semi final match but now he was playing in a very normal mood and I don’t have any surprises with him in this match.
When Babar Azam out early in yesterday’s match then the crowd reaction was such hard to believe on it because many people took the poster of Babar Azam and just came to see him but unfortunately they were unluckily and when he was out then the silence in 40,000 people was something to see.
But it seems that we have seen this one in India in 2023 World Cup when Virat Kohli was out with Pat Cummins then the crowd silence was hit differently, and also when the Pakistan team lost the match then the silence also seemed like Ahmedabad silence of crowd when in the last ball Pat Cummins took the double.

There was just a hype of his name otherwise his performance was only good for PSL. Anyways, back to the lines, I was saying Bababr Azam thought that Imad Wasim did good bowling in this match but in the first over, he was starting to do wide balls and with extras New Zealand team made this target. Pakistan bowlers had no control over the match and they let New Zealand score 178 runs.
SRH seriously embarassed themselves by losing against RCB. This loss could hurt them badly while RCB winning is pretty much pointless at this stage since they still need a miracle to make it to the playoffs.
Many teams going forward will try to exploit SRH's weakness by making them bat second instead of first. Also, Shahbaz's innings was hilarious.

179 was not a very big target. New Zealand won only because of their bowlers. Jacob Duffy was expensive early on, but then William O’Rourke and Ben Sears managed to turn things around for the Kiwis. Michael Bracewell also did his part. He was economical, and then picked up the wicket of Shadab Khan. Pakistan management maybe concerned. This is a home series for them, and New Zealand is not exactly the strongest team in T20 format. At the moment, Kiwis are leading the series by 2-1.
This is alarmingly for Pakistan cricket as they have lost back to back games against a side who is without its main players. NZ can't lose the series now, they can either win or draw the series. Pakistan had terrible record at home under captaincy of Babar Azam and now it's not an ideal time for Pakistan to once again look for another captain in T20 format.
I wouldn't say the target was small. 179 on this pitch was a big enough target. I expected better bowling from Pakistani bowlers. New Zealand batsmen have performed very well. New Zealand collected 56 runs from the first wicket pair. New Zealand lost the second wicket by 94 runs. On the other hand, Pakistan's top order played very poorly. The team lost three wickets to collect 46 runs.
Pakistan are not playing well on their home ground. Lost 2 out of 4 matches and won only 1. Despite having a lot of quality and experienced players in the Pakistan squad, the team is not doing well.
Pakistan main reason of their loss is the Middle order not their performance no batter take series to this run chase except Farkar Zamna. if fakhar zaman didn't scored then i think the Pakistan team all out under 100 runs and lost the match very badly. new Zealand played outstanding in First ten overs of the match scored approx 95 runs but after Pakistan Bowlers bowled well in last 10 overs and are restricted under 180 runs. New Zealand now leading the series by winning 2 matches against Pakistan Pakistan are not playing well on their home ground. Lost 2 out of 4 matches and won only 1. Despite having a lot of quality and experienced players in the Pakistan squad, the team is not doing well.
Currently, the way Pakistan team is playing the T20 matches is not winnable for them at all. Pakistan's poor performance at home against New Zealand last month in every match is really sad for Pakistan cricket fans. In the fourth T20 match, Pakistan lost by four runs while completing the target of 179 runs. Although the New Zealand team batted well, the Pakistan team also had a good batting form, but the batting performance of the Pakistan team players Babar Azam, Syam Khan was very poor due to which Pakistan lost. It is true that Iftikhar Ahmed has batted well and it is because of his excellent runs that Pakistan have made it this far. As New Zealand team is still ahead in T20 match winning result so Pakistan team will have to take good steps for the next match so that they can achieve victory.
I think the main reason of losing Pakistan is no consistency in batsmen. If Fakhar Zaman played well in today match so in the next match he will not perform well. Pakistani players need consistency otherwise they can't do well in any cricket format. And only one player can't do everything thing. When every player will play and think about the responsibility so they can do well. In yesterday match Pakistan lost by 4 runs. And that is due to the batsmen because they didn't play well but I think bowlers do well. Like Abbas Afridi was good in bowling and he collected 3 wickets. By the way the series is at 2-1. Let's se Pakistan will tie the series or New Zealand will win the series. The last match will show everything.

I think you are right. Scoring 179 was tough task and Pakistan bowlers should have done better to stop New Zealand batsmen. New Zealand openers started well which helped their team to win. But Pakistan top players failed badly losing three wickets for just 46 runs. This was especially disappointing since Pakistan was playing at home where they should have had an edge. Pakistan played well in the first match only after that in previous two matches they didn't perform well. I hope they will play well in the last match to tie the series. And if they want to win so Pakistan should focus on batting. Pakistan are not playing well on their home ground. Lost 2 out of 4 matches and won only 1. Despite having a lot of quality and experienced players in the Pakistan squad, the team is not doing well.
