Tough luck for Punjab. Still, it was good to see a close match with a score of 180. Even though they lost, I have to give credit to the outstanding innings by Shashank Singh and Ashutosh Sharma. Their impactful batting in a tough situation brought the game closer for Punjab. Punjab Kings' lower order has been performing well, but their opening pair remains unstable. Unfortunately, Dhawan and Bairstow, the worst-performing pair, failed once again. Punjab needs to address their issues to avoid being on the losing side.

Nice to see the younger players performing so well, when the more experienced players failed. Shikhar Dhawan, Jonny Bairstow, Sam Curran and Sikandar Raza were unable to make noticeable impact, while it was Shashank Singh and Ashutosh Sharma who lit fireworks towards the end. That said, the SRH pacers were impressive. I am not just talking about Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Pat Cummins, but also about Thangarasu Natarajan. Nitish Kumar Reddy was expensive, but then he got the wicket of Jitesh Sharma, which was very crucial.

After Punjab's top order collapsed, I thought the team would not even manage 150 runs. The team lost three wickets for 20 runs and 6 important top order batsmen for 114 runs. Even then Punjab team managed to collect up to 180 runs.
Shashank SInbgh and Ashtosh Sharma batted brilliantly. Shashank Singh was unbeaten with 46 off 25 balls and Ashutosh 33 off 15 balls. Due to the excellent batting of these two young batsmen, the Punjab team lost the match by just 2 runs. Otherwise, the margin of defeat would have increased. But Pat Cummins bowled this excellently. He gave only 22 runs in 4 overs.

United States vs Canada 2nd T-20

Today, the second match of the T20 series between United States vs Canada is over. Canada won the toss and elected to bowl. United States batted very well, they scored 230 runs for the loss of 3 wickets in the allotted overs. All the batsmen of United States performed well due to which they were able to set good targets. Canada went into bat with a win target and were bowled out for 199 runs in 19.4 overs. Canada batsmen's performance was not good, Aaron Johnson and Harsh Thacker and Nicholas Kirton batted well and all other batsmen's performance was not good. In the end, the United States won by 31 runs. United States leads the series 2-0 after winning the first and second matches.

USA bowled and batted better than Canada which allowed them to bowl out Canada for 199 runs. Team USA scored 230 runs in 20 overs which is really a big score and they batted very well due to which they did not lose so many wickets. On the day the player got out every player had a good run which led to such a big score and all scored half centuries. However, only one player of the Canadian team batted well, Aaron Johnson, if some other players could have batted well, there would have been a chance of winning. However, as USA also bowled well it put Canada under pressure and they did not bat well as wickets fell. All bowled well by USA due to which everyone managed to take wickets anyway this match was really interesting and a great win for USA result 2/0.

Team Canada performed well in the beginning but did not perform well at the end.  As they are a little less experienced in the game of cricket compared to the United States, they are a little less experienced. So the Canada team started the batting performance with a good enough performance, and all the bowlers of the United States team performed well.  And in no time, wickets started to fall for Canada team and lost all the wickets by scoring 199 runs in the last moment. The Canadian team lost by 31 runs and could save the entire match performance. If you can save the wicket, you definitely have a chance to win this match.

For the series of New Zealand which it to be hosted by Pakistan,

The squad has been announced for the T20 series between the two nations and this squad is such a wonderful squad ever. This includes Muhammad Amir, Babar Azam as captain, Imad Wasim, Irfan Khan Niazi, Shadab Khan, Saim Ayub, Rizwan, Azam Khan, Fakhar Zaman, Iftikhar Ahmed, Usman Khan, Usama Mir, Abrar Ahmed, Abbas Afridi, and Shaheen Shah Afridi, and the last Naseem Shah.

Wahab Riaz announced this squad today at the PCB office and with this squad Pakistan team can easily beat we Zealand team but there is no Haris Ruf in this squad, he will play the Ireland series which will held after this because Haris Rauf is injured in PSL and now he requires a rest. By the way, we have seen most of these Pakistan players in the recent PSL and if they continue the same form, I think we can think of a series whitewash against New Zealand.

Yes you are right Punjab Kings just near to the victory but unfortunately they lost the match. From Sunrise Hyderabad Nitish Kumar Reddy was really good in batting he made 64 runs. In total they made 182 runs. And I really appreciate the bowling of Arshdeep Singh who collected 4 wickets and he gave less score as compare to other bowlers. Well Punjab Kings tried really well to win this match but unfortunately they lost from 2 runs. And I will congratulate Sunrise Hyderabad for their winning.  Smiley
Exactly that was really unfortunate for the team Punjab Kings. They fought really well with Sunrise Hyderabad but they lost near to the victory. Just for two runs. And you mentioned Arshdeep Singh I really remember him he really bowled well in ICC World Cup. And he is still continuing his performance. Collecting 4 wickets is really appreciative. But unfortunately his team didn't win the match. And you also mentioned Nitish Kumar he also played really well who collected 64 runs. I always think if a player is going 50+ runs in the T20 match so he played well. Congratulations to Sunrise Hyderabad team for winning this exciting match.

I stand with Palestine.
Today's match between Punjab Kings and SRH was played and the conqueror team SRH, won the match by two runs which is very near to losing the match if Punjab Kings have gotten more balls. Because of the few players who wasted most of the balls they lost like J. Bairstow who was outed on zero and faced zero balls similarly P. Singh was outed on 4 runs and faced 6 balls and two more players also wasted balls. I am not criticizing that these players are useless or have zero efficiency to not score in another match but I am saying that Punjab king would have won this match if they had a few more balls and some players used those balls and did nothing. It's a game sometimes you will set a huge target and sometimes you will lose a match very closely.

Sunrisers Hyderabad  vs  Punjab Super Kings

Hyderabad set a target of 183 runs today. Punjab's bowlers bowled quite controlled, which is why Hyderabad couldn't muster 200+ today. Nitish Kumar collected 64 runs off 37 balls. Besides, Abdul Samad managed to collect 25 runs off 12 balls. Arashdeep bowled very well today. He gave 29 runs in 4 overs and took 4 wickets. Harshal Patel also bowled very well.

Hyderabad Descent provided a target. However, Punjab's batting order is strong enough. Punjab's batsmen have the ability to win the target of 183 runs. Sikhar Dhawan, Bairstwo and Sam Curran are capable of batting well enough. I think Punjab will win today.
Yeh it's true some quality bowling of Arshdeep and Curran from Punjab restrict their opponent to scored below 200 otherwise the way they were scoring it was an easy to get such number on total score board, while from Hyderabad the main role has been played by Nitish kumar of scoring such target because most of thier power hitter like klassen and markram has been dismissed before done something decent for his team. While when it come to Punjab bat to chased down the required target thier top order got departure in such crutical situation as a result due to pressure mounting thier middle played quite slow like with lower strike which make things quite difficult for thier lower aggressive middle order and despite playing so aggressive still they unable to hit the required target by few runs and thus a few mistakes cost them defeat

Entertainment! Those wides extras and catches getting dropped and going for sixes, SRH was almost like we want it hard way.

I gotta love the fighting spirit of PBKS though, plus the presence of mind of Shashank and Ashutosh to not chase the wide balls.

SRH definitely needs to work on fielding, match shouldn't have gone as far as it did.
The fielding of Sunrisers is very bad . They could lose match but they were lucky and that's why they won the match. I appreciate Ashotosh Sharma who made match very interesting and I enjoyed this match very much. He made excellent 33 runs in just 15 balls and he remained alive on the wicket at the end of match. But Shashank Sharma inning is outclass and he could snatchatch from SRH but God helped SRH. And at the end SRH won the match by only 2 runs.From SRH batting side , Reddy performed very well and made brilliant 64 runs in just 37 balls and he is player of the match.

Sunrisers Hyderabad were in control of the match till the 19th over. But bowlers and batsmen both were under pressure in the 20th over. Ashutosh Sharma did well as needed his 2  maximum(6) boundaries almost brought the match back also Shashank Singh did well but I think if he could have played one more over earlier this match could have been won. But I will agree with you that Punjab Kings could not have come so far in the position they brought the match if  Hyderabad's fielding had been better. Their required run rate in the 18th over was around 17 overs. That Shashank Singh and Ashutosh Sharma have come this far from that position is certainly commendable. Punjab Kings lost the match by just 2 runs. If they could have converted the 5th ball into a boundary then this match would have been a resounding win for Punjab Kings.

Looks as if Punjab Kings are going to lose this match as well. Most of their star batsmen are back in pavilion, including Shikhar Dhawan, Jonny Bairstow and Sam Curran. The pace trio of Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Pat Cummins and T Natarajan ripped through their batting lineup. Not much depth in PBKS middle order. Sikandar Raza and Shashank Singh are at the crease with Jitesh Sharma and Ashutosh Sharma to come next. After that the tail starts with Harpreet Brar. 8 overs need to be bowled by Nitish Kumar Reddy and Jaydev Unadkat. Punjab will be looking to target these bowlers.   
They are not losing but they have lost. At this time both S sing  and j Sharma  are batting with partnership. They tried their best but they have very few balls to meet super Sunrisers run target. Both of them try their best to take a match in last moment, but they have taken it to the last minute but as I said before, they failed due to the low end of the ball.Actually Punjab King the match was already lost when j Bairstow gave away his wicket in the first ball and shocked the whole team and because of this shock all the best men could not bat well.

Lmao, at the start i thought it's going to be a dull match

These 2 teams are competing nicely, contest was there but in the end, it was inflated by some amateur fielding in the last over. 3 catches dropped in the last over, 2 on boundaries and the ball went for 6 lol. With 29 runs needed off 6 balls, it should've been straight forward finish for SRH but it went to the wire.

Punjab is like Kohli of ipl teams, they love chasing and their chases are fun to watch. Raza looked out of touch in previous match but today he's looking good, also the Cummins catch of Sam Curran was something I appreciated, anyone else would have likely dropped it.

Edit: Raza just gone and Punjab looks to be in trouble.

PS : Fans might get cooked in hot day matches because didn't notice any sheds.

Fortunately most of the matches are scheduled to start at 7:30pm Indian time. By then, it is cooler out there. Anyway, Asian cricket boards hardly care about the fans. Facilities are poor, and all those who are involved (state associations, police, caterers, contractors.etc) treat the fans like cash cows. But then, cricket sells in India like no other sport. You can easily get tens of thousands of fans, even on weekdays. I was hoping that things will get better under Jay Shah and Anurag Thakur, but the situation hasn't changed a lot.
Things have improved in IPL matches though, not drastic but significant changes due to franchises' intervention as they kind of take charge of home stadiums.

Buying tickets for marquee matches and entering the stadium is still a big struggle but the hygiene situation is improving, slowly but moving in the right direction.

^^ Loved the first inning because it turned out to be very competitive. Bowlers made inroad, Batters threw punches followed by a continuous struggle between bat and ball.

182 doesn't look safe, also it's a new ground so there is hardly any sample size but overall this should be a template as far as competitiveness goes in franchise cricket.
Agreed. It went from SRH struggling to reach 150 to them scoring 180+ thanks to some bad bowling and fielding by Punjab. Nitish and Samad rescued their team when they were down in the gutter. Also, Tripathi continues sucking!
Yeah, they choked in the last 7 overs, only Arshdeep and Harshal were good in the last leg of an inning

I judge the team from this season alone and here KKR had won 3/3 games, and hammered opponents in two out of those three, while CSK didn't live upto their name in prior two games (that too, losing against DC), so it was expected that KKR is at better place to win the game.
One thing you need to remember about the IPL is that unpredictable stuff happens all the freaking time and KKR loves unpredictability which is why I bet on CSK and won decent amounts.
