I was expecting a good contest between GT & LSG! First Saha started followed by Gill destroyed my inhibition. I never sensed that GT would bat so well. Whatever I felt about KL Rahul with his batting performance but one thing I am sure. Rahul was a far better Captain than the jugad brother of Hardik Pandya.

You need to look at his bowling stats. Not a single wicket but concided 38 runs. If he continues in the same manner LSG would replace DC in the current point table. Grin

It looks like SRH is helping teams like RR get back in form. They have become punching bags sadly. I wonder if they will ever return to their glory days.
Rajasthan Royals are batting against SRH to keep their position strong in Super Four. So far Rajasthan Royals have amassed 171 runs in 16 overs with the fall of just one wicket.  Jos Buttler is going to score another century for Rajasthan Royals if everything goes well where he is batting. Jos Buttler is only 13 runs away from his century, hoping he will be able to score another century. Talking about the victory of Rajasthan Royals, if they can play responsible bowling along with aggressive batting, then they will win against SRH.

Edited: Jos Buttler missed his century by 5 runs. Jos Buttler looked very nervous after 90 runs. I have never seen Jos Buttler batting so nervously. He was nervous and under pressure which is why he missed his century.
RR is in a pretty bad form lately. Just 1 win in last 5 matches their roller coster saw another trough in the last 5 matches, but today they have given a really good Target. If they can bowl equally well it'll be a big target for SRH to chase. Even though so far they are going good with the chase but mostly it'll be about the big 4 foreign players who are yet to come and about the impact they can create in the middle order.

Surprisingly deck went on the slow side after 10 overs and the middle order struggled to keep up with the run rate, they also didn't help themselves by sending Hooda at number 3, who is struggling with his form this season.
Struggling is an understatement. He is trying to compete with Rohit Sharma for the worst player of this season. He should have been replaced with a more capable player sometime back in my opinion.

Edit: SRH made me eat my words. I think this is the first time that I have seen a no-ball on the last ball. 9 teams are fighting for 3 spots. Insane!

Lucknow Super Giants performed well in the beginning but it was only the opening batsmen de Kock and Mayers who performed well. But the subsequent batting did nothing for the team and Lucknow Super Giants lost by seven wickets. And the points are at the bottom of the table but Gujarat Titans won by a huge margin. Even earlier such massive runs were collected at Narendra Modi Stadium but today's match Lucknow lost by a huge margin. Gujarat Titans collected 16 points and it will take a lot of effort from the unique team to beat Gujarat back.

The shuffle is working for DC, Salt was unstoppable yesterday. I do not know whether this late booming would help them, they still have 4 more matches left. If they play in the same manner then they might rank up. Happy to see Kohli constantly scoring six 50s this season but the bowling is not working for RCB. Mahipal Lomror played well too after a dull start.
RCB is always lacking in some aspect. When they are able to restrict the opponent for a small total they are not performing well in batting. But when they are able to get a good score on the board they are not able to restrict their opponent. I honestly believe they should have been able to defend the total of 181. At least the match should have been a lot closer than it was.
Again it comes down to having effective match winners in the team. Looking at the bowling of RCB in the last match it genuinely felt like they have a lack of match winners in the team.
Nothing to say about the Royal Challengers Bangalore team. All other teams are able to change them, but this team does not see any changes. IPL started since 2008 and now 2023 is going on but the fact is that this team didn't win any of the session. They have good batsmen in their team but they don't give importance to bowlers since long. That's why they could not win any session of IPL. However, the position they had in the previous seasons, they have been successful to some extent in this season. But according to the points table, their hope is still alive. They still have 4 games left. If they are able to perform expectedly then it is difficult but possible to expect them to win the championship.

I absolutely agree. The main reason why people are actually angry towards them is not that they are performing badly and not being able to win any IPL titles. The thing is they have always had the best players in the team. And they are still unable to get the results.

I am also actually starting to believe that it is Virat Kohli. He is the black cat, the bad luck for RCB. Otherwise, there is no reason for RCB to actually not be able to win any title so far in the IPL. I also do not think that they will be able to actually get anyone near the final in this season of the IPL as well.

Nothing much going on tbh, it's just Lucknow's openers are returning the favor to Gujrat in the same manner. Some would describe it as a human rights abuse and i believe Ballshoviks should do something about Batriarchy.  

The first match of the season for Quinton but he hardly looked rusty, his partner Mayers is not far away either and doing his job consistently. Mind you, the latter was filling for the former as De Kock was unavailable at the start due to national duties.

They had no choice but to shuffle the combination, especially top order and it's for good. Local players like Shaw and Sarfraz who were in great form before the IPL, completely lost it.
Manish Pandey is turned into an average player, barring Axar no Indian batter performing for Delhi. Lomror played beautifully and i am sure RCB will bench him soon  Grin, happens with him all the time.

2 matches each against Punjab and CSK (Home and away) so i doubt if they are going to win all remaining fixtures.

May be against Punjab but not a clean sweep as they will also face CSK in their own backyard, Chennai.

Saha-Gill duo got no chill, they are literally bullying Lucknow and making a mockery of their bowlers. Hopefully, 230+ score is loading....

DC has changed as a team so much in last few matches. Phil salt played in a different form today. With RCB the problem is always the same. You don't have the match winners with you. Today when Lomror played nicely there was no one who gave support in the middle order and even in the bowling as well. There will always be just a couple of players performing for the team no matter what type of match it is for you and there will be no match winners.

ROyal Challengers Bengaluru VS Delhi Capitals

Bengaluru set a target of 182 runs against Delhi Capitals. 181 runs on such a pitch I would not call a bad performance. But I expected Bengaluru to deliver more than 200 targets today. Because their two openers Kohli and du Plessis batted well in this match. Bengaluru lost their first wicket in the 11th over. Even though Kohli could play an innings of 55 runs today, his strike rate was only 119. Mahipal's innings of 54 runs from 29 balls enabled Bengaluru to collect 181 runs.
Delhi have won three of their last four matches. The team's batsmen are in good form. If the opening pair can bat well, Delhi has a chance to win against Bengaluru.
I think Delhi will win today's match as well. Delhi's two openers Phil Salt and David Warner have been able to start their innings very well. At the end of 5 overs, Delhi collected 60 runs. David Warner scored 22 off 13 balls and Phil Salt scored 35 off 17 balls. Delhi needs 122 runs off 90 balls to win. Delhi will not lose this match unless they lose wickets very quickly. Scoring 122 runs off 90 balls does not seem like a difficult task to me.
Delhi Capitals now need only 59 runs from 54 balls. Delhi team managed to collect 123 runs in 11 overs. Salt remains unbeaten with 64 off 32 balls. David Warner scored 22 runs and Mitchell Marsh scored 26 runs. Bengaluru needed to win this match. The bengaluru team would have been able to occupy the fourth place in the table if they had won this match. But Bangalore is going to lose this match. Bengaluru could not collect big because of Kohli's slow batting. If Kohli had batted a little better, Bengaluru could have easily collected more than 200 on this pitch.
Delhi Capitals won today's match very easily. We don't expect Delhi to get such an easy win. Delhi collected 187 runs in just 16.4 overs. Phil Salt managed to collect 87 runs off 45 balls. Salt's strike rate was 193. On the other hand, Virat Kohli has batted at only 119 strike rate. Delhi Capitals have won 4 of their last 5 matches. Delhi batsmen are able to perform well in every match. The team still has a chance to qualify for the knockout rounds. If Delhi can win all their next matches then they might be able to qualify for the knockout round.

The Delhi team won this match because of the excellent start by the two openers. Delhi batsmen's performance is not regular. As the two openers, especially Phil Salt, got off to a good start, the Delhi batsmen were able to bat in a pressure-free manner in this match. And this is why almost every batsman's performance was good in this match. The team reached the target of victory in just 16.4 overs. Bengaluru's bowlers could not make any advantage in this match. Virat Kohli used 7 bowlers but every bowler's performance was poor.

ROyal Challengers Bengaluru VS Delhi Capitals
Bengaluru and Delhi Capitals encounter appears to be a really fascinating one. Bengaluru set a target of 182 runs but given the performance of their openers Kohli and du Plessis it was slightly below average. Mahipal assistance was essential in helping them reach a respectable total. Delhi Capitals, on the other side have been playing well lately winning three of their previous four matches. Their batsmen appear to be in terrific form, and if their opening two can put on a strong showing against Bengaluru, they will undoubtedly have a chance to win. It will be interesting to see how the match plays out and which team prevails.
Delhi Capitals win in 50th match. Royal Challengers Bangalore put up a ্good score but that was not sufficient that is why Delhi Capitals easily won the match. But by looking at the condition of play, it can be easily guessed that Royal Challengers Bangalore's batsman's strike rate was not good. Kohli played with a strike rate of 119 du Plessis 140. On the other hand, every batsman of Delhi Capitals had a strike rate above 150 for which Delhi Capitals reached the port of victory in 16.4 overs.

what an amazing performance by Delhi Capitals They chased down the target of 182 runs with ease and won by 7 wickets. Phil Salt was the star of the show, scoring an incredible 87 runs in just 45 balls and deservedly earning the Player of the Match award. the contributions of Josh Hazlewood and H. Patel who each picked up a wicket helping to restrict a big total. RCB batting Virot Kholi 55 and Mahipal Lomror, 54 played good inning but only scored 181 runs. Delhi batting lineup is firing on all cylinders right now and with their bowlers also performing well they're a team to watch out for in this tournament.
In most of the matches, Warner used to score for the Delhi Capitals. After his wicket I thought this match would go closer and RCB wins. Everything happened in the opposite way with the rashing performance from Phil Salt and Rossouw. With the win Delhi Capitals have moved to the 9th position on the points table. RCB continues on the 5th position. The race for the playoff have begun and four teams have got same points after 10 matches. Run rate gonna be the deciding factor on playoff.

I absolutely agree. Today watching RCB play was more like watching them go through the motions. It was not like they had any urgency. I also do not think that they had a good plan while bowling. Lomror was the reason RCB even got to a respectful total. Otherwise, that target was probably going to be something around 165. Watching Lomror bat we could all sense that this was a far better pitch than RCB portrayed it to be. We didn't see DC have any problems while batting.
