This kid Tilak Varma is a serious talent, playing pace and spin with ease and it's a very good sign for India. Very impressive to watch him play, I won't be surprised if he earns his maiden Indian cap soon.

Brohit somehow only going with his cameo and not converting his start, this is not a good sign cause WC is around the corner but at the same he has a history of not performing with the bat in the IPL consistently.

Tilak Verma should be put up in the order. He has the potential to score big runs. Ishan Kishan one of the highest paid player is struggling and it is evident with his strike rate. SKY did it again another lose shot and got out cheaply.

If it was not Green then MI wouldn't have reached 190. SRH completely dependent on the performance of foreign players. Mayank Agarwal was thinking that he was playing an ODI rather than a T20 league match. Pathetic performance by SRH yet again.
Atm he's doing a good job in the middle order so hard to argue on moving him up at the order, considering the opening slots are fixed for Kishan-Rohit and number 4 is fixed for SKY. Number 3 was a possibility but Green did an excellent job last night so he deserves more chances at number 3.

Tilak's time will come soon, he's just 20 yo and Rohit won't stay there for long. Kishan is a bit disappointing but he does have a talent and game plan for the white ball cricket, he's young too that's why MI is banking on him.

Poor SRH team management as usual. Those brainless fools keep giving so many chances to players like Samad, Sharma etc which makes me wonder how much they paid to retain their respective places in the team.

24 from 12 balls looked pretty easy, but the SRH tail-enders usually are bad batsmen which explains the loss. MI got lucky if you ask me.

They retained Samad, which makes me wonder about their IQ level. Anyway, cricket is a side business for the SRH management. The franchise is owned by Kalanithi Maran, a multi-billionaire who is known for numerous corruption scandals during the UPA era (2004-2014). The way they behave in public makes me angry. And even the younger members of the family (esp. Kaviya Maran) are very arrogant.

During yesterday's match, they required 24 runs from 12 balls and made just 9 runs. Abdul Samad and Bhuvneshwar Kumar managed just 4 runs from the 19th over which was bowled by Cameron Green. And then Arjun Tendulkar came to bowl the last over and they made just 5 runs.

Mumbai Indians won yesterday's match by a huge margin, they were very cautious from the wicket side. Because of which they gave a target of 192 runs for just five wickets and Sunrise Hyderabad failed to meet the target. As a result, Sunras Hyderabad remained at the previous point in the points table with only four points. The bowling line and batting line of Mumbai Indians have performed very well on a very strong day. And will show better performance in future.

Ishan Kishan was in decent form so far, but Mumbai would still be disappointed given the tons of money they spent on him. Suryakumar Yadav on the other hand failed completely. His highest score so far has been the 43 that he made against the KKR. In none of the other matches he could manage a score of above 20. And it surprises me that the Mumbai Indians are still in 6th place in points table despite the poor performance form many of their star players. Could have been much worse. Anyway, their next match is against Punjab and they need to win that one to stay alive.

I understand what you are trying to say but this current New Zealand team does not include any regular NZ players and few of them are busy play IPL. So in this moment of time, it was a golden opportunity for Pakistan to connivingly win the series.

I also know that it is difficult to win a series by 5-0 but i do expect them to win by 4-1. If Pakistan manage to win the series by 3-2, then i would say that it would be a success for the NZ to show such a good performance even with these players.
If NZ is without its main players then remember Pakistan is also not in good touch. The way Pakistan batting flopped in last T20I tells alot about Pakistani performance. Pakistan priority must be to win this T20 series first, as it looks challenging now. Iftikhar Ahmed who was once criticized for his performance has now become main striker of Pakistan T20I squad because of his performance. New talent like Haris and Saim Ayub are also good discovery.
I believe Pakistan is having few good advantages in this series with full strength squad and home advantage are surely giving them good benefits but here toss factor is also having his impact in three matches team with batting first is winning matches and same happen in third match New Zealand having good target and then take early wickets but at the end Iftikhar Ahmed done good job and bring this match very close but New Zealand bowlers keep their nerves cool and handle all situation in positive way which helps them for having positive result after losing two early games.

Now both teams are going to move to Rawalpindi where we will have fourth match of the series on 20th April with this current form most chances Pakistan will win this series with the score of 3 - 2.

Right now Pakistan is leading by 2-1. But I agree that a 2-3 result in favor of New Zealand won't be taken too negatively by the Kiwis. They are a small country of some 4 million people and being branded as one of the top cricketing countries is itself an achievement. And in recent times, the team has benefitted from the influx of players from South Africa and a few other countries. During last match, the New Zealand squad had three foreign-born players (Chad Bowes from South Africa, Mark Chapman from Hong Kong and Ish Sodhi from India).

Pakistan is close to its win. Iftikhar Ahmed have made his 50* runs from 20 balls. New Zealand bowlers slowly took the match towards their side and Iftikhar have destroyed everything. Now New Zealand should take wickets which is the only way by which they can win the match. Looking at the IPL scores, these scores look like low target. Lets see what is the end result ad Pakistan need 15 runs to win the match and Iftikhar Ahmed on the striker end.

Pakistan failed to win this match even though the target was not so big.

As usual, the Pakistan batting under performed and they are rightly said to be unpredictable.

Well.. you can't expect them to win everytime. They are leading the series by 2-1, and just need one more win to take the series. Anyway, despite their recent downfall, New Zealand is one of the pig-4 teams and at a point they had one of the strongest pace bowling attack in the world (they still do have a formidable bowling attack, with Boult, Jamieson, Henry, Milne, Southee and Wagner). And yesterday it was the military medium pace from James Neesham which handed them the victory. They worked hard for that win.

In today's match, Mumbai Indians team has performed well since they got the batting power. Green showed the best performance till last he was unbeaten for Mumbai. Especially in today's match Rohit and Ishan Kishan have more role than power play. Sunrise Hyderabad are under wicket pressure in today's match as they lost two early wickets and run rate is much lower than Mumbai. And Mumbai's batting points were better than Hyderabad's. So chances of Hyderabad winning in today's match are very low. Mumbai's bowling is attacking Hyderabad heavily with point spinners and fast balls.

Mumbai Indians won by 14 runs. Mumbai started well. The finish was good too. Sabuj scored 64 runs off 40 balls.
Sunrisers Hyderabad were under some pressure in the beginning. Mayank Agarwal and Henrik Klaassen 2 performed very well and almost led the team to victory. But in the end both could not survive. Sunrisers Hyderabad did not finish well.
Sunrisers Hyderabad won the toss and decided to bowl but they failed to play accordingly. Mumbai Indians batted well from the start and able to get good score. Against that score, Sunrisers Hyderabad were in batting disarray. They failed to hold the wicket. Batting from a target of 192, Sunrisers Hyderabad scored 178 runs. They lost the match by just 14 runs. If Sunrisers Hyderabad could have made a strong attack on the bowling then Mumbai Indians would not have scored so much. They finished the entire innings losing only 5 wickets but Sunrisers Hyderabad lost all their wickets.

This Mumbai all-rounder dropped to number 6 and played a stormy innings of 37 runs off 17 balls. Batting first, Mumbai Indians were put under pressure early on but Tilak Verma's storming innings led to 192 runs. Congratulations to Mumbai Indians for their third win in a row.

I had a very important office meeting and therefore I missed Arjun Tendulkar taking the winning wicket for Mumbai Indians. He bowled well today, conceding just 18 runs in 17 balls (in a match where the required run rate was close to 10 runs per over). And all credit to Cameron Green as well. After his good knock with the bat, he had terrific figures of 4-0-29-1. He conceded just 4 runs in the 19th over, fully justifying the price-tag (₹175,000,000 or $2,134,000 per year). Apart from Heinrich Klaasen, all the other SRH batsmen struggled.

Against Mumbai Indians, Sunrise Hyderabad was batting at a certain run rate till 18 overs. 24 runs were needed from the last two overs. Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Abdul Samad were on the wickets when the team was tied. To catch, Abdul Samad is a recognized batsman and Bhubaneswar Kumar can bat well for the team's needs.
Since 24 runs were needed from 12 balls, the spectators of Sunrise Hyderabad might have thought that Hyderabad would win this match today. 

Batting in the 19th over and the 20th over looked very difficult for Hyderabad to play the balls in the 18th and 19th overs.  Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Abdul Samad are failing to connect the ball properly with the bat away from the boundary. Due to their batting failure, they were defeated by Mumbai India by 14 runs. Hyderabad managed to collect only 9 runs in the last 12 balls. Congratulations to Mumbai Indians.

Pakistan is close to its win. Iftikhar Ahmed have made his 50* runs from 20 balls. New Zealand bowlers slowly took the match towards their side and Iftikhar have destroyed everything. Now New Zealand should take wickets which is the only way by which they can win the match. Looking at the IPL scores, these scores look like low target. Lets see what is the end result ad Pakistan need 15 runs to win the match and Iftikhar Ahmed on the striker end.

Pakistan failed to win this match even though the target was not so big.

As usual, the Pakistan batting under performed and they are rightly said to be unpredictable. In the first teo matches the pakistani batting line up played good and they score about 181 190+ runs  but in this match they had to chase and thier batsman took  pressure and were unable to score any big runs.

The series is still wide open with 2-1 in the favour of Pakistan.
In Pakistan vs New Zealand 3rd match of the series, was an apprehension among everyone that who would win that match? New Zealand almost lost the series after losing two matches in a row but they got the series back by winning yesterday's match. But their target was not good at all. New Zealand cricket could only set a target of 163 runs. On that run, many thought that Pakistan could easily get another win. But that didn't happen as they lost by just 3 runs. And the New Zealand bowlers deserve credit for that win. Among them, James Neesham has done a great job. In particular, he picked up Iftikhar Ahmed who scored 60 off 24 balls. Otherwise they would have lost the match.
Pakistan vs New Zealand
 In the match between the two teams, I did not think that Pakistan would play so badly in batting. I thought that Pakistan could easily score the runs that New Zealand had given as the target. But the words of the New Zealand team put the batsmen of the Pakistan team under pressure. The batsmen of Pakistan  Babar Azam was out for 1 run off 6 balls. I didn't think that a good batsman like Babar Azam would score only 1 run.
I think Pakistan lost the match because of their mistakes. Pakistan lost the match due to the weak batting of the batsmen in the Pakistan team. I thought that New Zealand could not win the match. But because of the performance of the New Zealand team, New Zealand won the match. The game  The fans of New Zealand team are very happy to see that New Zealand has defeated a team like Pakistan.

This kid Tilak Varma is a serious talent, playing pace and spin with ease and it's a very good sign for India. Very impressive to watch him play, I won't be surprised if he earns his maiden Indian cap soon.

Brohit somehow only going with his cameo and not converting his start, this is not a good sign cause WC is around the corner but at the same he has a history of not performing with the bat in the IPL consistently.
There is no doubt now we will have kids like these from across India and surely these natural talented cricketers will improve quality of Indian cricket in near future, but sadly we only have 11 players in a national team which is the big problem for the selectors.

SRH concede 192 runs which was good target by MI now in second over of the inning Brook goes down which is big below for the SRH as they are chasing big target with this wicket now we will have MI hot favorite for this match again and this is going to be third win for them after having two early loses in early rounds.

I agree that Pakistan is always unpredictable team, so we can expect performance like this from them even they lost few early wickets but still done better job while they were chasing 163 reached 159 just because of aggressive approach from Iftikhar Ahmad who was hero for Pakistan in this fail chase but still we have a match which have good entertainment for fans and quality cricket as well.

New Zealand bowlers who have no enough experience doing good job in this series and not allowing Pakistan for having any big target in these three early matches now they are heading for the Rawalpindi for the last two T20i and first two ODI's of this series.

What I liked about them is that now they seems to have a good balance in all the departments. Shaheen Shah Afridi is well supported by Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf, while in the batting department the trio of Mohammad Rizwan, Babar Azam and Fakhar Zaman are scoring runs. Once again, as I have pointed out infinite times, the main disadvantage with Pakistan is that they don't have a quality spinner. And this is the same team that used to have legendary spinners such as Saqlain Mushtaq, Danish Kaneria and Mushtaq Ahmed.
