𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Lucknow Super Giants vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : May 09,Friday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 20:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Indian Premier League, 2025 RCB aim for 5th straight win Lucknow Super Giants vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. LSG vs RCB Match Prediction & Analysis Lucknow Super Giants will take on the in-form RCB at home. LSG are struggling to find consistency in the batting department. As such, it will be too challenging for the hosts to stop the RCB juggernaut. Virat Kohli is in sublime form and has scored 4 consecutive fifties for his side. The depth in the batting lineup is a huge plus for RCB. The likes of Bhuvneshwar and Lungi Ngidi will pose a threat to the hosts’ out-of-form batting order. LSG are troubled by Rishabh Pant’s poor run of form this season. The southpaw batter is known for his ability to change the game. He’s hardly managed to make an impact this year. Along with Kohli, RCB also have the likes of Jacob Bethell, Devdutt Padikkal, and Tim David in the lower order. They’re a solid batting unit with many match-winning players throughout the lineup. TEAMS PREVIEW Lucknow Super Giants Preview Lucknow Super Giants were off to a not-so-good start with two losses from their 3 matches. They bounced back from there and won 4 of their next 5 games and looked very promising. However, since the, LSG have lost 3 matches on the trot and are fighting to stay alive in the race to playoffs. They desperately need a win here against the mighty Royal Challengers Bengaluru. In their last home game, LSG finished with 159 runs batting first against Delhi Capitals and lost the match by 8 wickets. In the next two games, the bowlers conceded 200+ while bowling first, and the Giants continued their losing run. Avesh Khan and Mayank Yadav conceded runs at an economy of 15 and 14.20 respectively in their last outing while being wicketless. Digvesh Rathi has managed to find a wicket or two in almost every game but his economies aren’t any better. There is no match-winner in the bowling attack who could put LSG on top of the game with a brilliant spell. The batting lineup is star-studded. With Aiden Markram and Mitchell Marsh at the top, LSG look quite strong. Nicholas Pooran and Rishabh Pant aren’t usually expected at 3 and 4 but are a great choice in a big run-chase. Then there is the ‘killer’ Miller lower down the order along the the young Ayush Badoni who made a mark for himself last season. Royal Challengers Bengaluru Preview RCB are in great shape with 4 wins on the trot. Their star player has been in sublime form with 4 consecutive fifties and doesn’t seem to be stopping anytime soon. A win here would put the Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the top of the points table. Rajat Patidar has tasted great success as captain of the side but seems to have lost his rhythm with the bat lately. He scored 11, 6, and 1 in his last 3 innings. Devdutt Padikkal is also struggling in the middle-order. Openers Kohli and Bethell scored a fifty each in RCB’s last outing while Romario Shepherd scored an unbeaten 53 off 14 balls at number 7 to propel the team to a 200+ runs total. Patidar will be concerned about his middle-order performance coming into this match. RCB needs their skipper to step up and deliver some impactful knock along with Padikkal. Kohli will need a partner in Padikkal to build a partnership in the middle overs while Paitdar can come in and play his big shots to accelerate the run rate. Tim David is the designated finisher for RCB and with Romario Shepherd also in the picture, RCB’s batting lineup is just too deep. In the bowling department, it will be up to Bhuvneshwar Kumar to deliver early breakthroughs. Lungi Ngidi replaced Hazlewood in the last game and delivered 3 wickets. He will be one to watch out for. Krunal Pandya is a reliable spinner for RCB. He can deliver economical spells while picking up a wicket or two. Weather Conditions It will be partly cloudy in Lucknow on the match day with a high of 39 degrees Celsius. There is no prediction for rain or thunderstorms and we can expect an uninterrupted match between the two teams. LSG vs RCB Pitch Report It is a great wicket for T20 cricket. Unlike other venues, it isn’t a one-sided affair at the Ekana Stadium and we get to see an even contest between bat and ball. The average 1st innings score in the last 5 matches here is 175 runs. It is not a winning total, however. The only score that was successfully defended on this ground is 203 runs. Toss: To Bowl Teams bowling first have won 4 of the 5 matches at this venue in IPL 2025 so far. Batters have chased down some competitive totals on this ground. LSG aren’t in good touch to set a competitive total against the in-form RCB. We reckon bowling first and chasing a target of less than 200 will be a great choice.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Mumbai Indians vs Gujarat Titans 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : May 06, Tuesday 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:30 PM IST 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai City, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Indian Premier League, 2025 Mumbai Indians’ aim for seventh consecutive win Mumbai Indians vs Gujarat Titans TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. MI vs GT Match Prediction & Analysis We are all set for a cracker of a contest in the Indian Premier League 2025 as two teams in excellent form fight for dominance. The Mumbai Indians will take on the Gujarat Titans in the 56th game at home. The Mumbai Indians are in excellent form and defeated the Rajasthan Royals in a one-sided game. The Gujarat Titans will also be confident after their win against the Sunrisers Hyderabad in the last game. The Mumbai Indians have won the last six games, and the side has built momentum. They have an excellent record at this venue, with four wins in the last five games. The Gujarat Titans have batted well, but the bowling attack looks weak. Injuries and exit of key bowlers have hurt the team’s balance. It will be interesting to see if the Sunrisers can match up to the challenge thrown at them by Mumbai. TEAMS PREVIEW Mumbai Indians Preview Hardik Pandya and his men are in red-hot form. They have won six games in a row and are a win away from booking a berth in the playoffs. The five-time champions hammered the Rajasthan Royals in the last game by 100 runs. They have lost the last three games against the Gujarat Titans, including one earlier this season. The team will look to avenge that loss and reclaim the top spot on the points table. Rohit Sharma and Ryan Rickelton set up a 116-run stand in the last game. The team will look to deliver a strong start. Suryakumar Yadav is in good form, and he must add runs in the middle order with Will Jacks and Tilak Varma. The side will expect quick runs in the lower middle order from Hardik Pandya and Naman Dhir, who will look to take on the Titans’ bowlers. Trent Boult leaked runs in the last game, and the team needs a strong show from him in the early overs, along with Deepak Chahar. Jasprit Bumrah continues to impress with his skills and must strike in the middle and death over with Corbin Bosch. The team expects a strong show in the supporting role from Hardik Pandya and Karn Sharma. Gujarat Titans Preview Shubman Gill and his men have done well this season, with the top-order scripting most of the team’s wins. The side enters this game with a 38-run win against the Sunrisers Hyderabad. Gill will like a strong show from the bowling attack as it is the team’s weakness, and they face a strong challenge from the powerful batting lineup that the Mumbai Indians have. Sai Sudharsan has been one of the star players this season, and the team expects a strong start from him and Shubman Gill. Jos Buttler is milking with the bowling, and he will look to add quick runs in the middle order with Shahrukh Khan and Washington Sundar. Rahul Tewatia and Rashid Khan have hitting abilities, and the team expects a strong show from them. Mohammad Siraj has struggled with the new ball, and Ishant Sharma’s injury makes matters worse for the team. Siraj and Gerald Coetzee must get early breakthroughs. Rashid Khan isn’t looking at his best, which worries the team. He must do well in the middle overs with Prasidh Krishna. Jayant Yadav, Sundar, and Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore will look to do well in the supporting role. Weather Conditions The skies over Mumbai will be clear. We expect this to be a high-scoring game. The wicket is flat, and there isn’t much for the bowlers as batsmen can easily hit through the line. The average first innings score is 167 runs, and the side that bats first in the game would have a target of around 200 runs. MI vs GT Pitch Report Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai is one of the best T20 venues for the batsmen. The boundaries are smaller here, and the pitch is flat, allowing batsmen to play their strokes easily on this surface. Fast bowlers need to be smart on this surface, while spinners get the ball to stop on the batsmen and turn sharply. Toss: To Bowl The wicket has been good for chasing scores. In the past few seasons, most games have been won by sides chasing totals. We expect this trend to continue, and the side winning the toss will look to bowl first.

Rajasthan Royals vs Gujarat Titans, IPLT20, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Rajasthan Royals vs Gujarat Titans𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : April 28, Monday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Indian Premier League, 2025 Gujarat Titans have had Rajasthan Royals’ number in the IPL, taking six out of seven matchups between the two, including one earlier this season. Rajasthan Royals vs Gujarat Titans TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. RR vs GT Match Prediction & Analysis Match 47 of IPL 2025 sees Rajasthan Royals (RR) going up against Gujarat Titans (GT) this Monday in Jaipur. Rajasthan have had a forgettable campaign so far, winning only two of their nine games and losing the other seven, which has pushed them down to ninth. Gujarat, meanwhile, have looked sharp with six wins from eight, and they currently sit at the top of the standings. RR will be at home, but with the way Gujarat have been playing, they go in looking stronger. RECENT PERFORMANCE TEAMS PREVIEW Rajasthan Royals Preview Rajasthan Royals have completely lost their way this season, and any shot at the playoffs is now pretty much gone. They’ve dropped five games in a row, three of which they should have closed out, but instead fell apart during the final overs thanks to poor decision-making with the bat. They’ll need to pull themselves together quickly to salvage something from what’s left of the season. The batting order has been chaotic, with no one stepping up except Yashasvi Jaiswal, who’s held his own with 356 runs in nine games, averaging 39.66 with a strike rate of 150.63. Riyan Parag and Dhruv Jurel have had their chances but haven’t turned starts into real contributions. Shubham Dubey and Nitish Rana have had a string of failures despite being given repeated chances. Shimron Hetmyer, expected to be the game-closer, has let them down with just 187 runs in nine outings and hasn’t managed to do the job properly. The bowling has been carried almost entirely by Jofra Archer, who’s delivered 9 wickets at an economy of 9.25. But he’s been out there alone, with Tushar Deshpande and Sandeep Sharma going for runs too often. Wanindu Hasaranga and Maheesh Theekshana haven’t been unreliable, which has cost them in multiple games. Theekshana was replaced by Fazalhaq Farooqi in the last match, but that didn’t help either. Gujarat Titans Preview No one had Gujarat Titans pegged as contenders early on, but they’ve pulled off six wins in eight games to climb to the top of the table. Their top three—Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill, and Jos Buttler—have been the bedrock of their batting. Sudharsan, especially, has been in ridiculous form. He leads the Orange Cap race with 417 runs in nine games, averaging 52.12 at a strike rate of 152.18. Five fifties already, including an 82 off 53 in GT’s last game against the Royals, where they won by 58. Gill is starting to click, too. He’s scored 305 runs from eight innings at 153.26 and looks due for a big one. In the middle, Sherfane Rutherford has done his bit quietly—201 runs in seven knocks at 40.20—while Tewatia has done what he does best at the back end. The bowlers have pulled their weight, too. Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna have combined for 28 wickets, while Sai Kishore has kept things tight with an economy of 8.22. Siraj is striking early, and Kishore is doing a solid job through the middle. Rashid Khan is still working his way back to full rhythm, but Jaipur’s surface could work in his favor. This bowling unit has carried them, and these conditions might suit their style again. Gujarat Titans Predicted Playing XI: Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill (c), Jos Buttler (wk), Sherfane Rutherford, Rahul Tewatia, Washington Sundar, Shahrukh Khan, Rashid Khan, Ravisrinivasan Sai Kishore, Prasidh Krishna, Mohammed Siraj Impact Player: Ishant Sharma Weather Conditions The Sawai Mansingh Stadium pitch offers consistent bounce with a thin grass covering hiding a hard surface underneath. Batters can trust the true pace after the first few overs. Evening dew will make gripping difficult for spinners later. Straight boundaries measure just 65 meters while square boundaries extend to 75 meters. The weather in Jaipur will be hot and dry, but we will get a full game as there is no chance of rain. RR vs GT Pitch Report The average score batting first at Sawai Mansingh Stadium is 163. In the two matches played here in IPL 2025, the team batting first has posted 180-5 and 173-4, respectively. The team batting first in this match will be eyeing a score of around 190+ to feel confident about their chances. Toss: To Bowl Batting second is usually the better option at Jaipur, with 38 of the 60 domestic T20s played here being won by the chasing side, including the last game played here. Thus, both teams are likely to field first here.

Delhi Capitals vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru, IPLT20, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Delhi Capitals vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : April 27, Sunday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 07:30 PM IST 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Arun Jaitley Stadium, Central Delhi, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Indian Premier League, 2025 Delhi Capitals’ aim to better record against the RCB Mumbai Indians vs Lucknow Super Giants TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. DC vs RCB Match Prediction & Analysis We are in that stage of the Indian Premier League 2025, where some of the teams have taken a clear lead. In this context, we expect a cracker of a contest where the Delhi Capitals will take on the Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the 46th game to prove their dominance. The Royal Challengers defeated the Rajasthan Royals in the last game and look confident. Delhi Capitals have also done well and won against the Lucknow Super Giants in their last game. Both teams will aim for the top spot on the points table with a win. The Royal Challengers Bengaluru have shown consistency in recent matches. They have won three out of the last four games. They have enjoyed a good record against the Delhi Capitals, and the team will look to bank on its batting strength. The Delhi Capitals won’t hand the game on a platter to the RCB, but they have done well themselves. We expect a close encounter as the teams fight hard to make it to the top of the points table. TEAMS PREVIEW Delhi Capitals Preview Axar Patel will be proud of his team’s performance this season. They defeated the Lucknow Super Giants by 8 wickets in the last game to move to the second spot on the points table. They have their batsmen in good form, and the bowlers have also done well. They defeated the Royal Challengers Bengaluru earlier in the season, and the team will look to draw inspiration from that win and do the same. Abishek Porel batted well in the last game, and he looks forward to delivering a good start in this game with Karun Nair. KL Rahul and Axar Patel set up a match-winning partnership in the last game and are looking to build partnerships with Tristan Stubbs. Ashutosh Sharma, Vipraj Nigam, and Mitchell Starc can hit the ball hard and add firepower to this batting lineup. Mitchell Starc and Axar Patel bowled brilliantly in the last game, and they will have to do well as the Royal Challengers are in good form. Mukesh Kumar will be confident after his 4-wicket spell in the last game and shall look to do well in the middle overs with Dushmantha Chameera. The team will expect a good show in the supporting role from Kuldeep Yadav and Vipraj Nigam. oyal Challengers Bengaluru Preview Rajat Patidar’s team has been the talk of the world this season. They have shed their tag of being slow starters and have done well since the season’s start. The side defeated the Rajasthan Royals in the last game by 11 runs. They have enjoyed a good record against the Delhi Capitals, and Patidar would like his team to build on the momentum and take a step towards the playoffs. Virat Kohli is among the best batsmen this season and played a match-winning knock against RR. He’ll look to deliver a strong start with Phillip Salt. Devdutt Padikkal is batting well, and he will look to add runs in the middle order with Tim David and Rajat Patidar. Jitesh Sharma, Romario Shepherd, and Krunal Panya are powerful hitters and complete a strong batting unit. Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Yash Dayal leaked runs in the last game, and the team needs a better show from them with the new ball. Josh Hazlewood picked 4 wickets in the last game and tilted the odds. He will look to do the same with Shepherd in the middle overs. Krunal Pandya and Suyash Sharma add variety to this attack, making it strong. Weather Conditions There will be clear skies over Delhi. We expect the conditions to be hot. The track would be a good one to bat on, where batsmen can play their strokes easily. The average first innings score is 169 runs, and the side batting first would like more than 190 runs on the board to feel confident. DC vs RCB Pitch Report Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi, is one of the best venues for T20 cricket in India, and we have seen high-scoring games here in the past. Fast bowlers must bring out their variations to do well here, and the spinners enjoy good support from the wicket. Batsmen can play here without fear as the ball comes onto the bat nicely. Toss: To Bowl The side chasing the score in this venue won most games in the last two seasons. We have seen big scores, and the excellent wicket makes it a good surface to chase. The side that wins the toss in this game would opt to bowl first and try and dismiss the opponent for a small total.

Mumbai Indians vs Lucknow Super Giants, IPLT20, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Mumbai Indians vs Lucknow Super Giants 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : April 27, Sunday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 03:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai City, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Indian Premier League, 2025 Lucknow Super Giants have beaten Mumbai Indians in each of their last three IPL clashes. Mumbai Indians vs Lucknow Super Giants TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. MI vs LSG Match Prediction & Analysis Match 45 of IPL 2025 sees Mumbai Indians (MI) go up against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at Wankhede on Sunday afternoon. MI have finally broken into the top four after stringing together four wins in a row. The five-time champs are hitting their stride at just the right time. LSG, on the other hand, are still unpredictable—they’ve slipped to sixth with five wins and four losses. The surface should be good for batting, and with the kind of power hitters both teams bring, we could be in for a high-scoring clash. Given their current form and home advantage, MI will have a slight upper hand. TEAMS PREVIEW Mumbai Indians Preview After stumbling early in the season, Mumbai Indians have found their groove—four wins in a row have pushed them up to fourth on the table, with 10 points from nine games. Their most recent win came in Hyderabad, where they made light work of a modest 144-run chase against SRH, wrapping it up in 15.4 overs with seven wickets to spare. They’re starting to look like a complete unit. The top order— Ryan Rickelton, Will Jacks, and Rohit Sharma—have had their ups and downs but are putting enough on the board to give the innings a decent platform. Rohit’s back in rhythm too, with back-to-back 70s that helped seal the last two games. Given his IPL track record, that’s a big boost heading into the final stretch. The middle order is where they’re doing real damage. Suryakumar Yadav has been on fire—373 runs in nine games, averaging 62.16 with a strike rate of 166.51. He’s looked in full control recently, scoring 68* off 37 and 40* off just 19. It’s hard to see him slowing down as he returns to his home ground. Tilak Varma’s timing and intent have been spot on as well. He’s another one who can shift momentum quickly. Further down, Hardik Pandya and Naman Dhir are both capable of turning a game in a handful of deliveries. Pandya’s also pulling his weight with the ball, picking up 12 wickets and keeping things relatively tight with an economy of 9.08. Deepak Chahar’s got eight wickets but hasn’t been as tidy at the end of innings. Trent Boult has kept things in check with the new ball and at the death. He was the standout against SRH, finishing with 4-26. Jasprit Bumrah’s presence has added another layer of control. Between the two of them, they’ve managed to keep a lid on things. Mitchell Santner has done a tidy job through the middle overs and should get some turn on this pitch. Lucknow Super Giants Preview It’s been a bit of a stop-start campaign for Lucknow Super Giants this IPL—five wins, four defeats, and a sixth-place spot with a poor NRR of -0.054. They’ve pulled off some solid results but haven’t managed to build momentum. To stay in the playoff race, they’ll need to string together a few wins quickly. One thing going their way lately is Aiden Markram’s uptick with the bat. The opener has looked more settled as the season’s gone on, scoring 326 runs in nine innings at a strike rate of 151—third-best in the side. Mitchell Marsh and Nicholas Pooran have been the mainstays in the batting department. Marsh has hit 344 in eight games at 160.74, including four half-centuries. Pooran has been even better—377 runs in nine outings, striking at an outrageous 204.89. He failed in the last two games, so we expect him to make a big impact in this match, particularly on a great batting wicket like Wankhede. Outside of these three overseas stars, the batting hasn’t clicked. Rishabh Pant’s tough run continues—just 106 in eight innings—and the middle order lacks bite. David Miller’s been off as well, struggling to find timing or rhythm. That said, Ayush Badoni and Abdul Samad have chipped in when needed. Badoni’s composed 36 off 21 in the last game steadied the innings, while Samad’s late knocks have added some valuable late runs. Shardul Thakur leads their wicket tally with 12 from nine matches, but his economy of 11.20 has been expensive. Avesh Khan has stepped up late in games and taken eight wickets while going at 9.84. Weather Conditions At Wankhede, the strip usually offers plenty for the batters, though there’s often a brief window at the start where the quicks can extract some movement with the fresh ball. Once that passes, the track flattens out and scoring flows. With an afternoon start, expect the pitch to dry out and give spinners something to work with in the middle overs. The surface should remain solid throughout, meaning slower balls might not be the best option. Conditions will be hot and muggy in Mumbai, but showers aren’t on the radar. MI vs LSG Pitch Report At Wankhede, first-innings scores usually hover around 170. RCB smashed the highest ever here with 235-1 against MI back in 2015. In the last two games, teams batting first put up 176-6 and 162-5, but still lost without much of a fight. That tells you anything under 190 isn’t likely to hold up. Both sides will probably have 200-plus in mind if they want to stay ahead. Toss: To Bat This will be an afternoon game, and in this hot and sultry weather, both teams are likely to bat first.

Kolkata Knight Riders vs Punjab Kings, IPLT20, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Kolkata Knight Riders vs Punjab Kings𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : April 26, Saturday 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:30 PM IST 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Eden Gardens, Kolkata, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Indian Premier League, 2025 The last time Kolkata Knight Riders and Punjab Kings faced off at Eden Gardens was in IPL 2024, where Punjab beat the home side by chasing down 262 in 18.4 overs. Quetta Gladiators vs Karachi Kings TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. KKR vs PBKS Match Prediction & Analysis Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) take on Punjab Kings (PK) in the 44th match of IPL 2025 this Saturday night in Kolkata. KKR have struggled with form this season, picking up only three wins from eight games, putting them at seventh in the standings. Punjab are doing better, with five wins and three losses, holding fifth place. They’ve already taken down KKR once this year and look better placed to do it again. TEAMS PREVIEW Kolkata Knight Riders Preview It’s been a tough ride for defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders so far—just three wins in eight games, five losses, and they’re now sitting at seventh on the table. They’ve now lost back-to-back games for the first time this season, the latest being a heavy 39-run defeat to Gujarat Titans at home. The team looks worn down. The batting unit hasn’t done them any favors. Apart from skipper Ajinkya Rahane, the rest have been patchy. Quinton de Kock was replaced by Rahmanullah Gurbaz last match, but the Afghan keeper could only chip in with 1 on his season debut. Sunil Narine’s form at the top has been unpredictable, and both Venkatesh Iyer and Rinku Singh are having a hard time adjusting to the slower tracks. Andre Russell has hit a few out of the park, but overall hasn’t looked anywhere close to his usual self. Ramandeep Singh, given multiple shots, still hasn’t made any real impact. One of the few positives is Angkrish Raghuvanshi. The youngster has scored 197 runs from 7 innings, averaging 38.71 with a strike rate of 149.24. But KKR’s habit of shifting him around the order hasn’t helped with stability. The bowling has fared a bit better. Harshit Rana and Vaibhav Arora have handled the early spells decently, taking 20 wickets between them. The spin trio of Varun Chakaravarthy, Sunil Narine, and Moeen Ali have managed to apply some control through the middle overs. Russell, despite his quiet run with the bat, might still be useful with his cutters on this pitch. Punjab Kings Preview Punjab Kings are hanging in there—five wins, three losses, and they’re currently fifth. In their last game, they went down by 7 wickets at home to Royal Challengers Bengaluru, a team they had beaten away not long before. At the top, Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh have been aggressive early, but haven’t quite strung it together game after game. Shreyas Iyer has been steady at number three, piling up 263 runs from eight innings with a strike rate of 185.21. He’s looked assured and will be central to their batting again. Nehal Wadhera has chipped in nicely through the middle overs, striking at 146. His knocks haven’t been long, but they’ve come at the right moments. Josh Inglis replaced Glen Maxwell but hasn’t offered much with the bat. Given the Eden surface, Punjab may rethink that swap just for the added spin option Maxwell brings. Marcus Stoinis is hit-and-miss but dangerous when he connects. Shashank Singh has quietly done a good job closing games and can flip the momentum late. Weather Conditions Eden Gardens produced its trademark pitch last game – good for runs but with some natural slowness. Expect more of the same, with the ball gripping the pitch and batters needing to time their shots carefully. Slow bowlers should play a major role, putting extra importance on scoring freely during field restrictions. Kolkata’s weather looks partly cloudy with high humidity in the evening hours. No rain is predicted, meaning we’ll likely see a complete 40 overs of action. Eden Gardens has produced an average first-innings score of 167 runs. During this year’s IPL, four matches have been played here with just one offering a true batting paradise – the remaining three surfaces favored slower conditions while remaining decent for scoring. Should we get another slow track like last game’s, teams will likely target 180-190 to post a competitive total. Toss: To Bat Three of the four matches played at Eden Gardens in IPL 2025 have been won by the team batting first, which clearly shows that batting first is more advantageous here.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Chennai Super Kings vs Sunrisers Hyderabad𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : April 25, Friday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : M. A. Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Indian Premier League, 2025 CSK’s tough challenge to fix the Chepauk puzzle Chennai Super Kings vs Sunrisers Hyderabad TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. CSK vs SRH Match Prediction & Analysis The points table pressure is catching up on teams as we enter the most crucial phase in the Indian Premier League 2025. We will have an interesting contest where Chennai Super Kings take on the Sunrisers Hyderabad in the 43rd game. Both teams must win this game to reach the next round. The two teams lost their last games, coincidentally against the Mumbai Indians for both teams. They will look to revive their form with a strong performance in this contest. The Chennai Super Kings have lost the last three games at home. The batting lineup fails to put up runs on the board, and the bowling attack looks ineffective. The side must fight hard in the middle to win this game. The Sunrisers have struggled with the ball, but their batting lineup has shown sparks of brilliance. A lot is at stake for the two teams in this game, and we expect a close contest. TEAMS PREVIEW Chennai Super Kings Preview Things are getting tough for MS Dhoni and his men. The season has turned into a nightmare for the four-time champions. The team suffered its biggest loss of the season in the last game against the Mumbai Indians, going down by 9 wickets. The team is struggling with the bat and the ball. Dhoni has vast experience and will look to lift his side back into form with his leadership skills. The top order has struggled this season. Rachin Ravindra must fire at the top and build partnerships with Shaik Rasheed. SRH bowlers aren’t in great form, giving the openers the perfect opportunity to get things right. Youngster Ayush Mhatre impressed everyone in the last game, and he must add runs in the middle order with Ravindra Jadeja and Shivam Dube. MS Dhoni must do the heavy lifting in the final overs with Jamie Overton and Vijay Shankar. The bowling attack has looked toothless this season and had their worst in the last game. Khaleel Ahmed and Jamie Overton will look to strike early as the Sunrisers’ batsmen come into this game low on confidence. Ravichandran Ashwin and Jadeja must use their experience and do well in the middle overs. Matheesha Pathirana and Noor Ahmed will look to bowl better lines than what they have done. Sunrisers Hyderabad Preview From being the finalist last season to an extended struggle this year, Pat Cummins and his men have hit a low. The side suffered a 7-wicket loss against the Mumbai Indians in the last game, and they are fighting for their survival in the tournament. The batting lineup is struggling, and the bowling has proved ineffective. Cummins would want his men to pull all socks and win here to keep hopes alive. Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma are struggling, and the team needs a better start at the top to lay a strong foundation. The middle order failed in the last game, and the team expects a strong show from Ishan Kishan, Nitish Kumar Reddy, and Heinrich Klaasen. Aniket Verma, Abhinav Manohar, and Pat Cummins must do the heavy lifting in the lower middle order. Jaydev Unadkat and Pat Cummins struggled with the new ball in the last game, and the team expects early strikes from this pair. Zeeshan Ansari and Harshal Patel must check the scoring rate in the middle overs to trouble the CSK batters who have struggled this season with consistency. Eshan Malinga and Abhishek Sharma must deliver the goods in the supporting role. Weather Conditions The skies over Chennai will be clear, and we expect hot and humid conditions. The wicket won’t be easy to bat on, with the ball stopping on the batters occasionally. A score of 180 runs or above will be good, with an average first-inning score of around 150 runs. CSK vs SRH Pitch Report MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai, is a good venue as it aids both the bowlers and the batsmen. Batsmen must play to the ball’s merit, as fast bowlers get some early assistance from the surface. The track is slow, and spinners have always enjoyed bowling on this surface. Toss: To Bat Chennai is known for being a difficult surface for run chases. It is the slowest surface in the tournament and tends to slow down as the game progresses. The side that wins the toss would take advantage of the conditions by batting first.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Mumbai Indians 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : April 23, Wednesday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 :Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium, Hyderabad, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Indian Premier League, 2025 SRH’s powerplay dominance again rests on Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head’s explosive opening partnership. Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Mumbai Indians TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. SRH vs MI Match Prediction & Analysis Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) face off against Mumbai Indians (MI) at Uppal on Wednesday night in Match 41 of IPL 2025. MI had a rough start to the season but have now stitched together three wins in a row and climbed to sixth in the table. SRH are still struggling, with just two wins from seven games and no real rhythm to their campaign. Those two wins did come at home, though, and they’ll be hoping familiar conditions work in their favor again. That said, with the way MI have been playing lately, they go into this one looking like the more settled team. TEAMS PREVIEW Sunrisers Hyderabad Preview Sunrisers Hyderabad have had a rough run so far—just two wins from seven games. When they’ve come out on top, it’s been because their batters blew the doors off the opposition. But if the top order falls early, they tend to fold fast and never really recover. That’s what they’ll be hoping to avoid when they host MI. If Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head get going early, like they’ve done in a couple of games, it sets them up nicely for a big total. Heinrich Klaasen, Ishan Kishan, and Nitish Kumar follow, and while all three haven’t fired this season, there’s still confidence that Klaasen’s power game can turn up here. Aniket Verma has been a bright spot. He’s been clearing the ropes in the back end of the innings and doing it with a strike rate of 187. They’ll enjoy the batting conditions in Hyderabad, and MI’s bowlers are going to feel the pressure. Mumbai Indians Preview Mumbai Indians have bounced back well after a rough stretch, stacking up three wins in a row to climb to sixth with eight points from eight games. In their latest game, they chased down 177 against CSK at home without breaking a sweat—getting it done in just 15.4 overs with nine wickets in hand. They’ve finally clicked as a unit, with contributions spread across the board. The top order—Rickelton, Jacks, and Rohit—still have their shaky moments, but are putting up enough runs up front. Rohit’s 76* off 45 against CSK was a much-needed return to form, and it sets a good tone going forward. The middle and lower-middle order have been where the real push is coming from. Suryakumar Yadav has been in prime touch—333 runs in eight matches at 55.50 and a strike rate of 162.43. He looked effortless in his last outing, smashing 68* off 30, and will be confident heading into Hyderabad. Expect more of the same. Tilak Varma’s been looking sharp too, with two fifties in his last three knocks. He’s another batter who can tilt the game. Towards the back end, Hardik Pandya and Naman Dhir can cause damage if they get enough balls. Both are capable of clearing the ropes in quick time. Weather Conditions The surface at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium is usually flat, but some of the strips used in IPL 2025 have played unevenly. Pitch number two, though, sticks to the usual Uppal script—it’s great for batting. Chances are the home team will go with that one. If they do, expect another high-scoring game. It’s a nightmare for bowlers with no movement or grip to work with. The ball sits up nicely, making it easy for batters to hit through the line. Add in the short boundaries, and we’re looking at a match full of boundaries and big hits. Conditions in Hyderabad will be warm and humid, but there’s no rain in the forecast, so the match should go ahead without interruptions. SRH vs MI Pitch Report If pitch number two is used for this game, expect runs galore as both teams will aim for at least 220+ totals. We’ve seen this surface twice already this season – the first time, Sunrisers Hyderabad hammered 286-6 while batting first and won by 44 runs. The second time around, they chased down 246 with 1.3 overs to spare. The challenge for SRH comes on slower pitches, where their batting unit tends to struggle badly as they’re not built for those types of wickets.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Lucknow Super Giants vs Delhi Capitals 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : April 22, Tuesday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 : Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Indian Premier League, 2025 Lucknow Super Giants haven’t managed to beat Delhi Capitals in their last three matchups, including once this season. Kolkata Knight Riders vs Gujarat Titans TV channels: The fans can watch the match live on Hotstar Live Streaming: Live streaming of the match will be available on the FAFA191 Cricket Exchange India and website. LSG vs DC Match Prediction & Analysis Lucknow Super Giants take on Delhi Capitals in Match 40 of IPL 2025 this Tuesday at Ekana. LSG have surprised a few this season, picking up five wins from eight games, which puts them fifth on the table. DC, on the other hand, have had a strong run with five wins and just two losses, placing them second. TEAMS PREVIEW Lucknow Super Giants Preview Lucknow Super Giants weren’t on many people’s radar at the start, but five wins from eight have pushed them into the top four. Their latest was a nail-biter—edging past Rajasthan Royals by just two runs in Jaipur after defending 180 with sharp bowling at the death. What should give them more confidence is pulling that off, even though Mitchell Marsh and Nicholas Pooran weren’t at their best. Aiden Markram stepped up with 66 off 45 to lift the batting effort and helped them reach a competitive total. He’s found his rhythm over the season and now sits third on their run chart, scoring 274 in eight innings at a strike rate of 150. Marsh and Pooran have done the bulk of the scoring all season—Marsh has 299 from seven innings at 168, including four fifties. Pooran has led the way with 368 runs in eight matches, striking at 205.58. Delhi Capitals Preview Delhi Capitals have been one of the more consistent sides this season. With five wins from seven games, 10 points, and a net run rate of 0.589, they sit comfortably in second place. Their recent defeat to Gujarat Titans—by 7 wickets—won’t shake them too much. They stayed in the contest deep, and that’s something they’ll take forward. Their batting’s looked sharp. KL Rahul has been the anchor and the accelerator, smashing 266 runs in six innings at a strike rate of 158.33. He’s played the situations smartly and shifted gears when needed. Tristan Stubbs has stepped up when it matters, especially at the back end of games. He’s DC’s second-highest scorer right now, followed by Abishek Porel. Down the order, Ashutosh Sharma has chipped in at just the right times—his late-over strike rate of 178.94 has turned matches. Bowling-wise, Mitchell Starc has been a bit expensive, but he’s still delivered with 10 wickets from seven outings. Weather Conditions At Ekana, it’s usually smarter for batters to take a few balls to get their eye in before going hard. Once they’ve settled, scoring isn’t all that difficult. The surface tends to slow down and get a bit unpredictable as the game moves on, which brings spinners into play during the middle overs. Pacers won’t get much help off the deck, so mixing it up with slower balls and cutters will be their best shot at damage control. The Lucknow heat and humidity could take a toll, but at least there’s no rain on the radar. LSG vs DC Pitch Report First-innings totals at Ekana usually sit near 166 on average. KKR set the highest score here last season with 235/6 against LSG, winning by a massive 98 runs. With how the pitch has behaved in IPL 2025’s first four games, sides batting first should target 190-plus to stay competitive. Toss: To Bowl Three of the four matches played at Ekana in IPL 2025 have been won by the chasing side, indicating clearly that this venue favors the chasing side.
