So far SRH have broken run records while batting first, plus they did horrendous in last game while chasing so it was kinda surprise to me that they still decided to chase or they might have just saw RCB run chase and influenced by that.
Jeez! Will Jacks, the first 50 runs came off from 31 balls, and the next 50 runs in just 10 balls Lmao. The last couple of overs were just humiliation.
Madlad didn't even hesitate to spank Rashid and He also robbed Kohli's MOM lol but at least Kohli had the best view.

in my opinion the series is not tied series was won by New Zealand because their B team is playing in Pakistan. New Zealand B-class team showed an outstanding performance in this series. Pakistan wins the last match due to the bowling performance of Shaheen Shah Afridi and Usama Mir. Muhammad Amir quite a costly spell in this Match gave to much runs but at the last over they successfully defended the 12 runs and Pakistan won by just a few runs. Pakistan needs to improve its batting performance if they perform well in the next T20 World Cup.
If Pakistan played well in the overs between 7 to 13 where the situation calmed down then they could make a huge score and for the middle order, there must be a player who can maintain the innings and others starting to look for the boundaries.
This can happen if Usman Khan would not be out there because with him Babar Azam had a very good partnership but New Zealand bowlers take the wicket of him. Later Fakhar Zaman came to bat and there he was trying to play well but it seems that he was given the chance to bat Babar Azam more on the crease as he was in good touch. He scored much needed 69 runs in only 44 balls and that was the requirement by the Pakistan team at that moment.
RCB was smooth sailing with the chase throughout the inning and right now at surefire position to win the match as they now merely require 24 of 30 with 9 wickets in hand.
GT bowlers has/had no clue whatsoever how stop this partnership between Kohli-Jacks. Mohit Sharma has been bowling really mediocre, need something more than slower balls.
Edit: Rashid went for even more, now what can I say to Rashid? Lol. RCB destroyed GT today, made 200 target look like below par, which it may be anyway this season.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru bowled very well in the early stages and it looked like Gujarat Titans could score 170 as the maximum. But the responsible batting of Shahrukh Khan and Sai Sudharsan gave Royal Challengers Bengaluru a target of 201 runs by Gujarat Titans. Royal Challengers Bengaluru batsmen have to bat responsibly. If RCB batsmen can bat responsibly, then they can easily cross the target of 200 runs. Now let's see how responsible RCB batsmen can bat.
What a knock by Sai Sudharsan, 84 runs on just 49 balls. He was unlucky to miss century but he has done his job for Gujrat team. RCB need 201 runs to win this game. RCB bowlers were not able to pick lots of wicket, only three of Gujrat batsmen got out. Cameron Green was the most expensive RCB bowler as he gave away 42 runs in his 3 overs. 200 is a target that can be chased on flat tracks of IPL and RCB have batsmen like Virat and Faf du Plessis who have the capability to play big innings.
RCB seem to have the upper hand at the moment since I don't think 200 is a competitive score on this pitch, but I could be wrong since the commentators did mention that it is a competitive score.
Sudershan has turned out to be one of the most consistent IPL batsmen period. He deserves many opportunities in the international team if you ask me.

Sudershan has so far played only 3 ODIs for India and his current IPL performance will surely take him to India T20I squad. Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis have started the innings for RCB and after 3 overs they both managed to score 37 runs. To win the game, RCB need both openers to score runs so that rest of batting don't have much pressure on them. Faf du Plessis so far has smashed three sixes and one boundary in first three overs.
Sudershan has turned out to be one of the most consistent IPL batsmen period. He deserves many opportunities in the international team if you ask me.
Consistent for sure but he's slow and seems like an anchor to me. Today his first half of the inning was slow, he picked up the pace later. -------------
A bit of normalcy is returning now, The First half is done and dusted so it's only fair if the pitch starts slowing everywhere or maybe assists bowlers more.
One to the slow powerplay for Gujart and on top of that, when the likes of David Miller start scoring run a ball, then the pitch is not a belter for sure so maybe batters might try to get set first or possibly anchor roles comebacks in the 2nd inning.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru bowled aggressively from the start. Due to the aggressive bowling from the start, Gujarat Titans batsmen lost 2 wickets and were under a lot of pressure from there. Shahrukh Khan and Sai Sudharsan are batting responsibly. Bengaluru bowlers need to break the tie very quickly otherwise it could be dangerous for Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Shahrukh Khan is unbeaten on 57 runs off 28 balls and Sai Sudharsan is unbeaten on 45 runs off 32 balls. Gujarat Titans current score 131 runs for 2 wickets in 15 overs. Game in progress Gujarat Titans current state of play looks like if they bat like this they can give Royal Challenger Bangalore a target of 180 runs.
Muhammad Siraj got the important wicket of M Shahrukh Khan, he scored 58 runs on 30 balls. Sai Sudharsan is still on crease and has scored 74 runs on 45 balls. 12 more delivers to be bowled and GT score right now is 176 runs. GT should work hard to take the target to 200 runs. Sudharsan is well set on the crease and if he play last 12 deliveries then there are fair chances that GT will give a target of 200 runs.

rcb won the toss and decided to bowl. RCB is bowling very well. One wicket at the start. Gujarat Titans batsmen are under a lot of pressure. If Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan Gujarat Titans batsmen can bat responsibly and give RCB a big target, maybe the game will be competitive. I think if RCB bowlers bowl very well and fielders field well against Gujarat Titans then RCB can win today's match. I will go for RCB over Gujarat Titans.
I think its a good decision of Royal Challengers Bengaluru to bowl first after winning the toss. Gujarat Titans current score is 35 runs in a loss of single wickets in first 5 over of the match. Wriddhiman Saha is out after scoring 5 runs. Shubman Gill is playing slowly 13 runs from 15 balls alongside with Sudharsan who is playing at 13 runs not out. from Royal Challengers Bengaluru Swapnil Singh picked the wicket by giving 17 runs in 2 overs. If RCB restricted Gujarat Titans under 170 runs then they have good chances of winning this match.in my opinion the series is not tied series was won by New Zealand because their B team is playing in Pakistan. New Zealand B-class team showed an outstanding performance in this series. Pakistan wins the last match due to the bowling performance of Shaheen Shah Afridi and Usama Mir. Muhammad Amir quite a costly spell in this Match gave to much runs but at the last over they successfully defended the 12 runs and Pakistan won by just a few runs. Pakistan needs to improve its batting performance if they perform well in the next T20 World Cup.
Outstanding performance by New Zealand in this series. They made Pakistan work hard to level this series which was played on there home ground. Eight bowlers were used by Babar Azam to bowl 20 overs, only Fakhar Zaman and Babar Azam didn't participated in bowling. Usama Mir finally had some impressive figures in T20I while Shaheen picked 4 wickets. Though series is levelled but Pakistan need to think why they were not able to beat New Zealand team who is without it's key players.

As cricket is a game of uncertainty, it is very difficult to predict which team will win but the team that performs well on the field will win. Let's see which team wins today's match in the end.
Saha throwing his wicket as usual, it's so disappointing to see wicket fallen on a single digit score.
It'd be better if GT pushes him to bat in lower middle order where most other wicketkeeper's bat, at least it'll save teammates from scoreboard pressure of Saha's wicket falling early.

What come back from Pakistan team I thought today New Zealand will be win and they will won this series but Shaheen afridi this man is the cause of there losing. And the series became draw. Anyway I would like to appreciate the Pakistani team both line up batting and bowling, in case of batting Babar Azam once again proved he is the best player of Pakistan also mentioning fakhar zaman. And the bowler name I have already mentioned. I don't know why the New Zealand team getting out in the last match so quickly and this is the reason of their lost.
Pakistan won the 5th T20 match by 9 runs against New Zealand. The Player of the Match is Shaheen Afridi for his outstanding performance picked 4 important wickets by just giving 30 runs and helped Pakistan team to get the victory by the All out New Zealand team by 169 runs. Usama Mir also bowled well and picked 2 crucial wickets by giving only 21 runs and one Midden over the 9th over and getting wicket and match winning for Pakistan Fifth, if I think the role of victory is more important in this match then definitely Shaheen Afridi played one of the role in the victory. As the New Zealand team had a higher number of wins in the previous matches, the tie came in the fifth match and the first T20I match was postponed due to rain. Shaheen Afridi in particular brought down the attacking batting of the New Zealand team due to which the New Zealand team was all out in a very short time.
Rajasthan should have lost yesterday to keep play-offs race interesting.
Anyway, we have double header Sunday. Have matches between fan favorite teams so should be a good crowd. First we have GT vs RCB, GT will want to win this one as this match is against relatively mediocre RCB, also GT can't afford to lose more than 1 in play-offs race, winning this one will give them some breathing space for next matches, as GT's next matches are against top teams like SRH/KKR and CSK.

Gujarati Titans team will have aggressive batting performance to win this match, because now performance will be against very weak team but next performances will be against very strong team it is right. Therefore, there will be a possibility of reaching the semi-final match by winning these matches of the present time. But on the other hand, even if Royal Challenger Bangalore team performs well in the end, it will not be possible for them to reach the quarter finals. Because their performance is very poor from the start but I think they will perform well enough to collect points.
Pakistan won the 5th T20 match by 9 runs against New Zealand. The Player of the Match is Shaheen Afridi for his outstanding performance picked 4 important wickets by just giving 30 runs and helped Pakistan team to get the victory by the All out New Zealand team by 169 runs. Usama Mir also bowled well and picked 2 crucial wickets by giving only 21 runs and one Midden over the 9th over and getting wicket and match winning for Pakistan
Pakistan played well in the yesterday match because they know that this match is really important for them. So they won that match. If we took a look on stats so we will see that first Babar Azam was good in batting he made 65 runs. Which helps Pakistan to make 178 runs. After that Pakistan bowlers show their power and they bowled really well especially Shaheen Shah Afridi and Usama Mir was good. Shaheen Shah Afridi Collected 4 wickets which help Pakistan to win this match. And now the series end and both teams won 2-2 match. Means the series is tied.
Pakistan did not perform well in terms of bowling in this match but they performed well in terms of batting. And that was the appropriate reply, Shaheen Afridi gave the best bowling performance and Anand bowlers performed well. In the past matches, Pakistan team lost by a wide margin but in this match they managed to defeat the New Zealand team very easily, whenever the batting site was out of attack for the New Zealand team then the Pakistan team got more opportunities and the New Zealand team lost because of the fall of more wickets. And in the last minute the result of the game ended in 2-2 match, in general Pakistan team Babar Azam, Osman Khan, Fakhar Zaman these three batsmen have performed well in the field of batting.
Shaheen Shah Afridi did amazing bowling in last night's match at Gaddafi Stadium. If on his last over where he picked 1 or 2 wickets but if he was able to be out the batsmen in LBW where he convinced Babar Azam to take the review of LBW but after the review and before the review, the umpire decision was the same which was not out. Otherwise, if that ball could be out then he would have picked 5 wickets in this T20 but no problem because he also did very amazing bowling last night. Yesterday, Pakistan bowlers have done very good bowling and in which Shaheen Shah Afridi is one of the best and leading from the front.
