Wao things are going so unpredictable in IPL because same team Kolkata Knight riders first broke the winning streak of Chennai and put them down In standing while now same team Chennai Super Kings broke the winning and momentum of Kolkata to took his revenge but unfortunately unable to regain his position on top of the table, Kolkata were totally dependent on naraine performance especially in previous recently matches because he were absolutely on fire and through his aggressive innings Kolkata get the game but tonight things goes against Kolkata because thier main key player dismissed before done any damage for his opponent and that the reason why Thier player got under pressure and scored low than expectations and thus lose and important match of the tournament but still they hold high position on standing which will give them opportunity to get back stronger

The Kolkata Knight Riders made a good start in the power play,but the Jadeja spells the game to the new way.This was the unexpected one from the Kolkata team captain,because the strong support was the reason for the Chennai Super Kings.The first five wicket change the game completely,because the wicket of Sunil Narine had a huge impacts in today game.Because he had only scored 27 runs from the 20 delivery,the Narine was seems to be have some health issues like harm pain and it was the main cause for the Sunil to get into the dressing room with the less score to their team.This was the third win for CSK team in the home ground was the welcome one by the home ground fans.


Still the KKR in the second position with their good run rate,you have to check the table again.Because the total game played by the each team and run rate will play the huge role in the table of the league.The run scored by the KKR is not seems like the team who had won the 3/3 matches in the league.They play like the test match and scored only 137 runs from the 120 balls.Really look like the game with each ball to score one runs,if the team KKR had score 170-190 runs,it was easy to defend for the CSK even it was their home ground.Mostly the home ground doesn’t important when the team made the good runs in their first half of the game.

Jadeja put some pressure on KKR by picking two wickets just after the powerplay. KKR players played slowly after that. They kept losing their wickets, and the pressure was always on them. Chennai bowlers did pretty well in the death overs, especially Mustafizur. Russell was really trying to hit the ball blindly, but the Fizz bowled brilliantly to restrict his hitting power. Even the most worthy player of this season, Mitchell Starc was surprised when he faced the first ball of Mustafizur today. CSK has chased the target easily.

As we expected with Kolkata Knight Riders, they give results that are not the same, and today they also have to play well because according to Google, this pitch is much better for batsmen who batted first because according to the reports and Google, we judge that the team who batted first has more advantage on the pitch that’s why that team wins the match mostly.

But, in today’s match, we are not seeing this type of game by Kolkata Knight Riders. Don’t know why but they could have played better and till now, the match is not finished but for sure when you see this post, the match has been finished and result will be in front of you and most probably Chennai Super Kings will easily win this match.

CSK and KKR might swap there positions on points table after this game. CSK will move to second position while KKR might be down graded to 3rd position. Nothing much from KKR batting tonight as they played full 20 overs but scored only 137 runs which is just a peanut in IPL type league.  In reply, CSK after 10 overs are 81/1 and need 57 more runs in just 60 balls. CSK just need to score run a ball to win this game.

Having a good bowler in the team gives the team some advantage, especially when there is extra pressure on the opposing batsmen. Due to which, the batsmen's performance changes greatly. Mostafizur is one of the best bowlers. We got similar things in the first innings today. He has also made a name for himself on the spin pitch. according to the spin pitch Ravindra Jadeja did the best. Became the lowest cost bowler in 4 overs. He brought the first wicket as a bowler in the team Tushar Deshpande. He augurs well for the team by returning opening batsman Salt.

It is not difficult to win against an experienced team on such a small target. Chennai Super Kings are the best in terms of win record. Chennai Super Kings have already reached a reliable position in the first 6 overs. Their collection is 66 in 7 overs. If they play like this, they will have a very easy win against Kolkata.

Having an experienced bowler in the squad is very important. And it reminded me of Mustafiz's performance today. Mustafiz gave only 22 runs in 4 overs. And picked up two wickets. But the important thing is that Mustafiz picked up two wickets with just 2 runs in the last over. If the bowler is not experienced enough, it is not possible to bowl well in the death overs.

Jadeja and Tushar's performance was also very good today. Kolkata's top order crumbled quickly today due to the good bowling of these two bowlers. Both Jadeja and Tushar took three wickets each.

The Kolkata team has given a small target of 138 runs. It is much more difficult to win such a small target. Chennai have some experienced batsmen in their squad. To collect 138 runs will not be difficult for Chennai.

A small target set out by KKR against CSK. Would probably lead to first loss for KKR this season.
The game being played in Chennai, CSK won the toss and chose to field. Kolkata Knight Riders lost their first wicket on very first ball of the match. Sunil Narine, Shreyas Ayer and Angkrish Raghuvanshi tried to handle the inning but they kept on losing wicket and later order didn't worked. They had just 2 runs on the last  over.
138 itself is not an undefendable target for a T20 but is a small one in IPL standard. CSK would probably cruise through it with ease.

I was expecting fireworks but such a lackluster inning from KKR, at 5 overs they were 50 runs, things went completely downhill after that, and they managed to make mere 137 runs by eof inning. Venky, Rinku, Iyer, Russel blindly swinging bat, and ball not coming to bat at all.

There is no way CSK can lose this one, and KKR will have lot to think after this match.

At last wait is over and Indian Premier League competition 22nd match has begun on crease and this match was played among Kolkata Knight Rider squad against Chennai Super Kings squad both these squads are top class and well performed in previous matches. Yes it is true that Kolkata Knight Rider squad was unable to display impressive performance in first inning batting and their inning is almost finished just few deliveries behind for play and only Kolkata Knight Rider squad successfully 135 scores off 19.4 overs which seem that Chennai Super Kings squad bowler will take a revenge of their previous lose in matches and they destroyed Kolkata Knight Rider squad batter with fantastic strength. Tushar Deshpande bowler wiped out 3 main and good batters of KKR squad in 4 overs and same Ravindra Jadeja also cleared out 3 batter wickets. This match now is so easy to get a victory and Chennai Super Kings squad also have a good and strong members in batting Inning. Now this match is surely one sided and now let's see how many overs Chennai Super Kings squad will achieve this defeating target.

Oman very disappointing performance in the final match of the series and lost the match by 62 runs. Namibia won the series against Oman by 3-2. The Player of the Match is Gerhard Erasmus from Namibia for his outstanding all-round batting and bowling performance Scored 64 runs from just 29 balls and also picked 2 important wickets by giving 22 runs in his bowling spell. Oman needed to improve his batting and bowling performance in the next matches.

I think they have to improve their bowling attack not like with wickets to defending scores because if Mumbai Indians’ batsmen didn’t make good scores, then the Delhi Capitals team could have won that match.

That was Mumbai Indian's luck that Mumbai Indians made a good score. In the end, if Tim David and Romario Shepherd would not have hit sixes then what would happen with their team because you can see in 10 balls if he didn’t make 39 runs then Mumbai Indian's target would be under 200 and Delhi Capitals could chase that easily. That was a very thankful moment for Romario Shepherd by Mumbai Indians fans, the team, and all the staff.

Kolkata's strong batting order failed completely against Chennai's bowlers today. At the end of 17 overs, Kolkata managed to collect only 113 runs. Kolkata lost 6 wickets. Kolkata cannot collect even 160 today.

Every batsman in the squad batted slow today. Chennai's bowlers did not do well in the previous match but today they bowled well. Jadeja picked up three wickets for just 18 runs in 4 overs. Rushar Deshpande picked up two wickets. Mustafiz has not yet taken a single wicket, Mustafiz has given 12 runs in 2 overs. The match is completely under Chennai's control so far. The Kolkata team is likely to suffer their first defeat today.

Now, I think this match was the turning point for the Mumbai Indians team because I think from here, they will rise once again as they raised in the previous seasons but now they also have to play in such a propagated way else for sure they will lose the matches once again and again touch the bottom line of point table.

I hope that now their coach Mark Boucher and their captain Hardik Pandya would have notice their mistakes where they had to face difficulties in yesterday’s match and try to improve it then they can go up in the point table, and still there are too many matches still left in the tournament.

Bernard Scholtz made a significant contribution to Namibia's win in the series. If he not picked up 4 wickets then the margin of victory would not have been so big. Gerhard Erasmus contributed the most to the team. On the one hand took two wickets in bowling and on the other hand managed to score a big score for the team. He has batted at a strike rate of 220. A big innings of 64 off 29 balls saw Namibia win the series. However, Namibia's chances of winning the series were higher because they are a better team than Oman. Namibia is far ahead of Oman in the ICC rankings. I think this team can go further in the coming days. With a famous prayer like David Wiese in the team, the team is definitely looking strong. Moreover, David Wiese has done very well in terms of performance.

This time their star batsmen clicked, and as a result they got to a huge total of 212/3 after 20 overs (which was tough against a bowling attack that consisted of Kaleemullah, Fayyaz Butt, Ayaan Khan and Mehran Khan). JP Kotze and Malan Kruger managed to build a first wicket partnership of 76 runs, and then Gerhard Erasmus and David Wiese took over. Bernard Scholtz excelled with the ball. Despite all this, a 3-2 series win is not enough for Namibia. Their T20I rankings will go down by a lot.

Every season MI starts with losing streak but once they starts to win they win non stop but this year new captaincy so we have to wait and see it's possible for them to repeat the same tradition.

Don't forget DC won against CSK in their previous match so no team is weaker but we can say they don't have best possible XI compared to some other teams.

Finally, RCB for real.

First of all this is a huge win for the Namibian team. Their batsmen set a big target of 212 in 20 overs.  That was a very good target.  Their batsmen gave this target with hard work and struggle.  Their batsmen did well in the match and played the match with interest and their bowlers did not waste their hard work.  Their bowler stopped the run of Oman batsmen and took wickets and won the match.  My congratulations to the Namibia team for the win and may they continue to play like this and win matches.  And the Oman team should emphasize its performance.

Yesterday, the whole team of Mumbai Indians played very well except only some players by the names of Surya Kumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, and in bowling Akash Madhwal, Muhammad Nabi, Piyush Chawla. These are the three bowlers who get more runs in just one or two overs that’s why Hardik Pandya didn’t give them bowl for bowling because he understood that if they came then the match would go in a bad direction and again Mumbai Indians crowd would be disappointed as we have done in the last three matches.

However the bowlers from Mumbai Indians like Bumrah, Gerald Coetzee, Romario Shepherd and earlier the batting from Rohit Sharma and Tim David didn’t allow them to miss this opportunity and they together with teamwork registered their win against Delhi Capitals.

Mumbai Indians won against not a big team. Delhi Capitals are not such a good team as Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangaluru have some good levels.

It is a small team that is why I think that they can only get a win to this type of weak team, their next match is with Royal Challengers Bangaluru and then the next to next match is with Chennai Super Kings. Royal Challengers Bengaluru current situation is like Mumbai Indians because they have players but not performing well as we can see Mumbai Indians as an example. However Chennai Super Kings is always in good mood as they were in previous seasons.  Hope for good, I hope that we will see improvement in Mumbai Indians team.
