KKR is all set in one of the top 2 positions while RR is fighting to occupy the other spot by breaking their recent losing streak. GT have only themselves to blame thanks to their miserable performances throughout the season.
Anyway, big game coming up today between LSG and DC where Lucknow is fighting for the playoffs spot while Delhi is out already.

Pakistan vs Ireland
Today is the third and the final match of the T20I series between Pakistan vs Ireland. We all know that the series is tied at this time and today is the final match between these two teams. The team which will win it will win the series too. Pakistan performance is not admirable. We saw what they have done in the first match. But still my best wishes are with Pakistan and I hope they will win this match and will win the series too. But here we can't underestimate the Ireland team because they have already won one match so they have some chances to win this match. So let's wait and see who will win.
In the first T20 match between Pakistan and Ireland, Ireland performed really well which resulted in them winning the match. After losing to Ireland, Pakistan team learned from that failure and bounced back well in the second T20I and won that match to level the series. The series decider between these two teams will be played today and there will be equal pressure as both of them will try to win this match.Based on the way Pakistan performed in the second T20 match, it can be assumed that they can win against Ireland today but Ireland are not going to give up. We expect a breathtaking and exciting match in the third T20 match between these two teams today.Today is the third and the final match of the T20I series between Pakistan vs Ireland.

The match was postponed only due to rain, if there was any chance this match would have been played. But if this match was started at that time, there was definitely a possibility of Kolkata Knight Riders team winning. But the Gujarat Details team has no chance to enter the qualifiers as they have only five match wins.
The match was not postponed, but cancelled (or abandoned). There are no reserve days in this season of the IPL. So if a match gets washed out, the teams will be sharing the points. Anyway, even before the match started there was hardly any chance that Gujarat Titans would have qualified for the playoffs. They were near rock bottom, with just 8 points. Their experimentation with Afghan overseas players failed miserably this time. And at the same time, they ignored talented players such as Josh Little for team selection. If you are referring to Josh Little not playing in last game despite having taken 4 wickets in earlier game, it was because GT wanted to replace Saha with Wade, since 4 foreign players are allowed they needed to take measures and had to sit Josh Little out; yes, they could have benched Noor Ahmad for Little as well but GT is infatuated with Afghan players, they they rarely sit 'em out.
Had Robin Minz was available, GT would be having dometic wk replacement for Saha but it wasn't the case.
Honestly, Sai Kishor is as good as Noor Ahmad if not better, adding Ahmad in XI was waste of foreign slot.

Pakistan hasn't adjusted with the European conditions yet, but they have made a great comeback during the second match. Despite Ireland setting a target of close to 200, Pakistani batsmen were able to chase down with more than 3 overs to spare. And Pakistan should thank sloppy fielding from the Irish players. Graham Hume dropped both Mohammad Rizwan and Fakhar Zaman when they were in their 20s. Rizwan went on to make 75 not out, while Zaman made 78 from just 40 balls.

Today is going to be the most interesting match between Ireland and Pakistan as both the teams will fight hard to win today's match. We have seen both teams tie 1-1 result, they will perform well to win today's match and win the series. If Pakistan can't improve their performance, then they might lose today's match against Ireland and lose the series. Ireland team will not give up so easily, but they will definitely try to play well against Pakistan and fight hard enough to win the series. I also believe that Pakistan has a chance to win today's match, and they will, but of course Pakistan will have to work hard otherwise it is not possible with Ireland. If Pakistan team underestimates Island then they will never succeed, but they have to lose and lose the series, that's why Pakistan team has to have good bowling and batting performance in today's match to win the series only.

The Match interesting if it will be played. But the rain was there and the Match abandoned due to rain. And as you mentioned I was also thinking that if these both teams play the match so the Kolkata Knight Riders was looking strong as compare to the Gujarat Titans. But this is cricket so Gujarat Titans also have the chances to win the match because we can't underestimate them. They have ability to fight with strong team. And this was an unpredictable match.

Gujarat are on the verge of getting knocked out officially without playing a single ball thanks to rain interference. They are still hoping for a 5 over game per side, but I don't think they will be able to play.
Even if they play a 5 over game, KKR will most probably destroy them up thanks to beasts like Narine, Salt(If he's playing etc).

The game was abandoned without a ball being bowled. It was unfortunate for Gujrat Titans. They might had a hard time against KKR but at least they would have had a chance to fight. But with abandoned match, they are out of the title race. KKR are now confirmed to play the qualifier for the first spot in final and most probably RR would join them on that qualifier. The next qualifier/elimination teams are still contested and probably Sunrisers Hyderabad would get a place as their upcoming two matches are with relatively poorer team.

English players are leaving IPL to prepare for upcoming T20wc, some have already left, some will be leaving soon. IMO, Phil Salt is biggest blow to kkr out of all leaving for their respective teams, more so because KKR will be without him in important play-offs and in finals (if they reach there, ofc). You may expect me to say same about Jos Buttler in RR too but imo he was not consistent as Salt.

Phil Salt was the most successful opening batsman of the Kolkata Knight Riders team and his departure will really hurt the Kolkata Knight Riders this season. Phil Salt played well in most of the matches due to which he became the lifeblood of the Kolkata team. Similarly if Josh Buttler leaves then Rajasthan Royals will be in deep trouble just like Kolkata Knight Riders.Just like Salt is an important batsman for Kolkata Knight Riders, Buttler is also an important batsman for Rajasthan Royals on whose batting performance a lot of matches depend.Source: Buttler, Livingstone, other England cricketers leave IPL early for T20 World Cup duty
The few players of the England team who are playing in different teams of IPL are each making important contribution in every match. If they leave, those teams will definitely suffer.
On the other hand, Rizwan, Fakhar Zaman and Azam Khan's excellent batting saw Pakistan get an easy win. But Babar and Saim Ayub's performance was poor as usual today.
Finally, the day came when a good player who couldn’t perform in international matches got the chance to come for the batting and he performed. Yes, he is, of course, Azam Khan who played very well in yesterday's match and gave the vibes like Asif Ali, as Asif came at the last and allowed Pakistan to win from where nobody could think.
Yesterday Azam Khan played with a strike rate of 300 and for sure he would have wanted to complete his fifty but in the last overs he didn’t get the chance to complete but the balls that he played he has done amazing batting on that. On just 10 balls, he made 30 runs. I know that at that time there was no pressure, therefore he took full advantage of the situation and played freely.

LOL what is going on with the Pakistan team bowlers!!
It's seems today Ireland will be able to score 170 to 180 and I think that will be also a good score in t20 format. Anyway, I think the Ireland team taking the full benefit of being the host of this match. Currently they are in 165 run in 18.1 over and they have still 4 wicket in hand and run rate is over 9. So I am guessing that today the chances of winning of Pakistan can be also less, I am going to take my after watching the starting batting of Pakistan team still match is unpredictable for me but expecting Ireland will won.
I am really impress with the Irish approach against Pakistani bowling attack as they are in complete control with having score of 193 against Pakistan is always good for any team and after winning first match here we have good confidence in their batting hopefully they will go bowling as well this performance is clearly showing Pakistani teams is preparing for the world cup on low note, and they are having no depth into their bowling with batting is also having problems.It's seems today Ireland will be able to score 170 to 180 and I think that will be also a good score in t20 format.

All bowlers having good punishment from the Irish batting side with they were playing with good approach right now Ireland is favourite for to win this second match after having this target at the board Pakistani quality is on decline in last few months which is massive issue for them.
I agree with you. I was surprised by the performance of Ireland's batsmen against the Pakistani bowlers. I thought the Pakistani pace attack was very strong. But in the last series against New Zealand we did not see good performance of Pakistani bowlers. And even against a weak team like Ireland, Pakistani bowlers are not able to do well.
Ireland team made a huge collection of 193 today. However, Ireland could not win the match. Still, I'd say this team performed really well. Ireland team could have defeated Pakistan in this match too if they had experienced bowlers in the squad. Almost all the batsmen in Ireland's squad performed well. On the other hand, Rizwan, Fakhar Zaman and Azam Khan's excellent batting saw Pakistan get an easy win. But Babar and Saim Ayub's performance was poor as usual today.
Alos in first match against Ireland sqaud, Pakistan squad members also played very slow and did not contribute nice strength in bowling inning and faced defeat with a delivery and 5 batters wickets. I see that Ireland sqaud need some improvement in their camermans and also in commentary anyways I really surprised by the performance of Ireland squad in first match how their batter like Andy Balbirnie played bat inning. Today Pakistan Squad took a revenge of previous defeat in this match, Pakistan emerged victory with good difference of wickets and deliveries. Saim Ayyub and Babar Azam was not showcased good performance but Muhammad Rizwan and Fakhar Zaman both batter build strong and long lasting batting partnership both made 150 scores partnership.
I guess it is a matter of time before the match between Gujarat Titans and Kolkata Knight Riders is called off. It is a big disappointment for KKR, as they were expecting two points against weak opponents. But the good news is that they will remain at the top of points table, with 19 points (even if Rajasthan Royals win their next match, they can only get to 18). From what I have heard from Ahmedabad, it is still raining very heavily out there. Anyway, let's focus on tomorrow's match (Delhi Capitals vs Lucknow Super Giants).
Today the rain was coming hard at the Ahmedabad stadium and if it did not go then it could be not well because today is the match of Gujrat Titans and in this match, Shubman Gill must have to perform because he is already out from the World Cup squad but made the place on reserves.
Just to find a way to play in the World Cup, he has to perform well in the remaining matches of IPL and today the match was also in Ahmedabad so he could also take advantage of this but the rain came and finished all enjoyment of the match. The news from the ground is that the rain has begun again and the chance of play is even less now but still we are waiting for the official announcement.
Coming to KKR vs GT, I am expecting Kolkata to win since Gujarat have been very inconsistent throughout this season while KKR have been very consistent recently.
Anyway this match will be very interesting , looking at the table board and looking at Gujarat Titans performance , it is difficult to predict which team will win this match .
