It's good to see some changes in the Man of the Match award.
Before it was all about the winning team but this season they are handing out awards to the best performances of the match, results hardly matter and rightly so. I'd like to see this rule internationally too.

SRH posted a good total, but it looks like DC might come close and lose. Let's see who wins the battle between the bottom teams.
Delhi Capitals almost had a chance to win most of the matches but they did not win at the end. Due to which Delhi Capitals have to be at the bottom of the points table. But in today's match both Delhi Capitals and Sunrisers Hyderabad are fighting and both of the teams are the same category. Both have equal points so far. The points table may change based on the results of today's matches. Just need 63 runs from 33 balls. It is possible but it remains to be seen whether Delhi Capitals can do it or not. 
GT rose to the top after crushing KKR by 7 wickets. Shankar played extremely well and this team and season have proven to be a game-changer for him though I still feel that he is an average batsman overall.

Look at the score, he's getting out early turning out to be a huge blessing for Lucknow. Every pinch hitter getting a fair chance and scoring beautiful runs, although this pitch is belter but you have to play your shots. Idk what's the highest score in the IPL but they do have a chance to touch the 250 mark tonight.
The scoreboard wouldn't touch 210+ runs if KL Rahul didn't get out early. He was still playing in his 'slow and steady' mode even though it was a batting friendly pitch. Anyway, the highest score was 263 runs in IPL history. LSG has scored 257 runs today, which is the second highest score in IPL history now. There is no chance for Punjab to win the match by chasing this huge target. I quickly checked his batting stats and Lucknow winning this season and found out, the longer he bats his team gets into trouble and if he gets out in powerplay then his team wins or at least puts a very competitive total on the board.
There is a reason he got dropped and sacked as VC from the national team. No doubt regarding his talent, he's actually quite a gifted batter in the modern world but his mindset Jeez f*ck.
The openers failed to score, but the middle order contributed well. Maybe if Dhawan along with the young opener Prabhsimran have scored good the match could've gone closer. At the end Sharukh khan failed to perform, everything is the pressure of high run requirement. Raza used to perform better in these kind of matches and today he played good, but more needed at that moment. The right time he started to takeoff and lost the wicket.
Closer? You have got to be kidding. Did you look at the target? It's the second highest IPL score so far which is why Punjab were out of the game before their innings even started frankly speaking.They did reach a respectable total, but they would have required a miracle to get close to the target. LSG rose to the 2nd position in the table with that win.

I think this was a very easy pitch to bat on. If LSG would have made something around a 230 it could still have been chased by Punjab. It was just that pressure of extra 50 runs which PBKS couldn't sustain. With slightly less targets the batters would have had a better chance to see a couple of balls and then start hitting on this highway pitch. I feel franchisees should avoid such pitches as well. PBKS has best pace bowling attack and they struggled like 15 year olds, I don't even know what would have happened with less known bowling attacks.

The pitch was batting-friendly. And the batsmen managed to score a lot of runs very easily. LSG's 257 runs were probably the second-highest in IPL history. As every batsman in the team batted well, LSG managed to collect a huge total of 257 runs.
If the batsmen of Punjab Kings were able to bat well from the beginning of the innings, they could have collected runs close to 250. But they lost the wickets of the two openers quite quickly. Apart from Taide and Sikandar Raza, no batsman can stay at the crease for long. Even then, Punjab managed to collect 201 runs.
With the win in this match, the LSG team is now second in the points table with equal points with Rajasthan. If Gujarat can win their next match then Gujarat will occupy the top spot in the table. Rajasthan and LSG will be second and third in the table respectively.
257 is never an easy target to chase specially if you are against LSG bowling lineup. Marcus Stoinis is simply unstoppable guy and he once again proved that he is most valuable T20 format player by scoring 72 runs on 40 balls. Punjab main batsmen Dhawan wasn't able to score much runs today but good knock by Atharva Taide. There are 9 bowlers used by LSG captain in today's game.

I would say it was a memorable match. The total collection of both teams in this match was 458 runs. And if Punjab Kings had not batted badly in the last two overs, their collection would have been bigger. In the last two overs, Punjab's batsmen managed to muster only 8 runs. No one expected Punjab to win this match. However, they had a chance to reduce the run margin further.
Punjab captain Shikhar Dhawan used his 7 bowlers in this match. But the more interesting thing is that LSG captain KL Rahul used all his 9 bowlers in this match. Except for Stoinis and Rahul, probably every player in the squad bowled in this match. We don't know why KL Rahul took such a decision.

The 38th match of IPL is probably the highest scoring match in IPL history. How is it possible to get 257 runs by batting 20 overs? What Lucknow Super Giants have done today. I highly doubt that those who were in the gallery today as visitors have seen any boundaries like today? The 15th over of the match is over and now Punjab Kings is losing. At this point Punjab Kings need 106 runs off 28 balls which is a tough equation and an almost impossible. Today's match may be memorable match in IPL history. Almost new records are created in every IPL session.
Lucknow Super Giants beat Punjab Kings by 56 runs. The LSG performance in today match. It takes a lot of effort to score 257 runs in 20 overs the Marcus Stoinis knock of 72 runs in just 40 balls was impressive. The team success was greatly aided by the 4 wickets taken by Yash Thakur and the 3 taken by Naveen-ul-Haq. The Lucknow Super Giants enormous score was too much for the Punjab Kings to overcome, despite A. Tade heroic effort of 66 runs in 36 balls. LSG had the better performance in this match as they won by a score of 56 runs. It would be interesting to see if the Super Giants can maintain this level of performance throughout the rest of the season because it was a genuinely memorable encounter. The player of the match is Marcus Stoinis for his amazing with the bat and ball 72 runs in just 40 and picking 1 wicket Outstanding Performance.
The batting performance of LSG in today's match is worth watching. 147 runs 2 wickets in 12 overs LSG's run rate has increased tremendously in today's match. Kyle mayers batsman his batting performance was great he got out later with half century. But the way LSG started batting performance at the moment they are sure to win today's match if the run rate continues like this. If batsman Ayush Badoni and Marcus stoinis is playing well enough for the team to stay like this then there is a possibility of LSG scoring 250+ runs today. And if Panjab Kings have to win today's match then LSG must take the wicket right now.

Look at the score, he's getting out early turning out to be a huge blessing for Lucknow. Every pinch hitter getting a fair chance and scoring beautiful runs, although this pitch is belter but you have to play your shots. Idk what's the highest score in the IPL but they do have a chance to touch the 250 mark tonight.

Bro be kind and polite to KL! He is one the many talents that India has but his Godfather is Sunil Uncle. However he bats in this season or the upcoming, he will get everything thing he ever dreamt of because of Shetty Anna. KL has been so chill with his captainship of LSG that he forgot other teams have been experimenting new captain. He is very overconfident about himself.

And we are back to another KL masterclass 
The dude showed some intent after so long and got a lifeline at a point in the first ball ( some might say tactical drop from Punjab lol) and he's back to his usual mode for the rest of the over. True meme lord, I reckon. Now I watch him for comedy.

Arey yeh launda toh off script ja raha hai aaj.

lol, he's gone but at least he tried to play his shots tonight, which is nice.

Lucknow vs Punjab underway. Am expecting Lucknow to win this one as long as other batsmen support Mayers properly. Rahul is playing slowly once again. He seriously needs to improve his strike rate asap.
Also, it looks like Dhawan is back which is great news for Punjab. Let's see if they are still over-dependent on him or not.
Edit: Lucknow batsmen are on fire. They had the chance to break the highest score IPL record, but Arshdeep bowled a great final over.

Right now, I don't think that there is any real competition for FANCODE. Other OTT platforms (Jio Cinema, Hotstar, SONY LIV, Amazon Primevideo.etc) are focused on international and high profile franchise T20 leagues. Fancode is the only platform that focuses on little known tournaments such as the Mizoram T20 League and Capricorn Womens Quadrangular Series. Their viewer-base is not very large, but it's quite loyal. A lot of people use Fancode to place bets on little known leagues and follow the matches live to see how their bets turn out.
But they do want to be a bigger platform right?
And if the one is to be a bigger platform they will have to focus on international and high-profile cricket later on. At that time there will eventually be a lot of competition. And people who watch cricket matches regularly to place a bet or people who have a lot of free time always care about higher quality.
So, as long as they keep broadcasting as a small-time platform I don't think they will face too many problems. But if they want to get bigger they will start facing competition and they will also have to provide better quality.
