𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Punjab Kings𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : April 18, Friday 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 17:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 :​ M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Indian Premier League 2025 Punjab Kings’ test to end the Chinnaswamy jinx  Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Punjab 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. RCB vs PBKS Match Prediction & Analysis We are in the midseason of the Indian Premier League 2025 and teams are fighting hard to improve their position on the points table. We expect a cracker of a contest where hosts Royal Challengers Bengaluru face the Punjab Kings in the 34th game. Both teams have 8 points after six games. A win here will take them to the top of the points table. The Royal Challengers defeated the Rajasthan Royals in their last game and look confident. The Punjab Kings will look to build on their momentum after a win against the Kolkata Knight Riders.  The Royal Challengers Bengaluru have won the last three games against the Punjab Kings, which will make the team confident. They play at home and know the conditions well on this wicket. The Punjab Kings have a poor record at this venue, which can play on their minds. Their batsmen struggled in the last game. Whether the Kings can overcome the odds and do well in this contest remains to be seen. TEAMS PREVIEW Royal Challengers Bengaluru Preview Rajat Patidar’s team has impressed everyone with its consistency and dominating performances this season. They defeated the Rajasthan Royals in the last game by 9 wickets. It was an excellent show from the batting lineup as they clinically chased down the big total. Punjab Kings have done well this year, and Patidar would like his team to play aggressively and use the home advantage to move to the top spot on the points table.  Phillip Salt is taking on the bowlers aggressively and will look to deliver a strong start in this game with Virat Kohli. Devdutt Padikkal will look to steer the innings in the middle order and add runs with Liam Livingstone and Jitesh Sharma. The side has depth in the batting lineup and expects runs from Tim David, Krunal Pandya, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar.  Bhuvneshwar Kumar did well with the new ball in the last game and must get early breakthroughs with Yash Dayal. Krunal Pandya is troubling the batters, and he must keep up the pressure in the middle overs with Josh Hazlewood. The side expects good spells from Suyash Sharma and Liam Livingstone in the supporting role, as the Punjab Kings have good hitters. Punjab Kings Preview Shreyas Iyer will be proud of his bowlers and how they foxed the Kolkata Knight Riders in the last game. In a game where the batting lineup failed miserably, the bowling attack pulled a win out of thin air, winning the game by 16 runs. Iyer will expect a better show from his batsmen in this game. They have struggled against RCB, and Iyer would look to improve this record.  Priyansh Arya has been the leading batter for the team this season and must deliver a good start in this game with Prabhsimran Singh. Shreyas Iyer will look to anchor the innings and do well in the middle order with Josh Inglis and Nehal Wadhera. The team expects quick runs in the lower middle order from Glenn Maxwell, Suryansh Shedge, and Marco Jansen.  The bowling attack put up one of the best bowling performances in IPL history, and the team will be confident. Marco Jansen and Xavier Bartlett must get early breakthroughs to put the team in a strong position. Yuzvendra Chahal bowled a dream spell in the last game, and he will look to keep the scoring under check with Arshdeep Singh. Glenn Maxwell and Suryansh Shedge add balance to this attack.  Weather Conditions We expect another warm evening in Bengaluru. The flat wicket is easy for the batsmen. There is very little assistance for the bowlers. The average first innings score at this venue is 173 runs. The side batting first would need a minimum of 200 runs to feel safe on this track. A placid pitch, fast outfield, and shorter boundaries make M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru, one of the best T20 venues in the world. We have seen several high-scoring encounters at this venue, and batters find it easy to play on this surface where there is little support for the bowlers. Toss: To Bowl The side chasing the score has won four out of the last five games. The surface has been slower than usual, and setting up a total here isn’t easy, as we see big run chases at this venue. Both teams would take a cue from their previous wins and opt to bowl first.

Mumbai Indians vs Sunrisers Hyderabad, IPLT20, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Mumbai Indians vs Sunrisers Hyderabad 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : April 17, Thursday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 17:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 :​ Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai City, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Indian Premier League 2025 The last two matches between Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad at Wankhede have ended in solid wins for Mumbai. Mumbai Indians 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. MI vs SRH Match Prediction & Analysis Mumbai Indians face Sunrisers Hyderabad at Wankhede in Match 33 of IPL 2025 on Thursday night. Both teams have found some rhythm after stumbling early in the season and will be looking to build on recent wins. The pitch should favour the batters, and with the kind of hitters both sides have, a run-fest seems likely. MI might just have the edge thanks to the home advantage.  TEAMS PREVIEW Mumbai Indians Preview Mumbai Indians bounced back in style after a patchy run, pulling off a thrilling 12-run win over second-placed Delhi Capitals. Batting first, they put up 205-5, and then held their nerve with the ball to keep Delhi to 193. This was the kind of team performance MI had been missing, with nearly everyone stepping up. Tilak Varma stood out with a cracking 58 off 33 — his second straight fifty — and with the next match at Wankhede, where he tends to do well, that’s a good sign. That said, the top order still hasn’t really clicked. Will Jacks and Ryan Rickelton have had their moments, but haven’t delivered anything game-changing. Rohit Sharma is yet to find rhythm, so expectations around him are muted for now. Suryakumar Yadav has carried the batting so far. He’s collected 239 runs from six games at an average of 47.80 and a strike rate of 149.37. He remains central to MI’s chances. Hardik Pandya finding some rhythm again helps — he looked sharp finishing off the innings last game and paired well with Naman Dhir, who smashed an unbeaten 38 off 17. Pandya’s also contributed with the ball, picking up 10 wickets while going at 8.81 an over. Deepak Chahar has chipped in with five wickets and a decent economy. Boult continues to be dangerous with the new ball and in the final overs. Jasprit Bumrah had an off day last match, but his presence is still a major plus. Alongside Boult at the death, he gives MI a solid edge in closing out games. Santner has kept things steady in the middle, and Vignesh Puthur has quietly picked up six wickets so far. Sunrisers Hyderabad Preview After dropping four games in a row, Sunrisers Hyderabad bounced back with a bang, pulling off a wild win over Punjab Kings at home. They chased down a massive 246 in just 18.3 overs, losing only two wickets. Abhishek Sharma went ballistic, hammering 141 off just 55 balls – the third-highest score in IPL history. Travis Head chipped in with 66 off 37, and their 171-run opening stand in just 12.2 overs completely flattened the chase. This is what SRH can do when their top order clicks. If Abhishek and Head go hard early, they’ve got Klaasen, Ishan Kishan, and Nitish Kumar ready to keep the scoreboard ticking and the boundaries flowing. Aniket Verma has turned into a reliable contributor – he’s been finding the fence in the middle and late overs and has an eye-catching strike rate of 183 to back that up. They’ll love batting at Wankhede, and MI’s attack is going to be under the pump. Shami and Cummins need to hit their stride fast – both have been off the mark lately, bleeding runs at moments that have hurt the team. Harshal Patel has been getting the job done, picking up middle-over wickets with his slower stuff and variations. Eshan Malinga has slotted in well too, always looking dangerous with the ball. Weather Conditions Wankhede usually offers a flat pitch that favors batters, but there’s often some early movement under lights, especially with a fresh ball. Fast bowlers can get a bit of help up top before conditions tilt toward the batters. Once that early threat is dealt with, scoring tends to get a lot easier. Spinners, on the other hand, don’t get much to work with—there’s barely any turn, and the surface doesn’t give them much grip. The deck should stay hard and true, which makes things tough for anyone relying on slower deliveries. Expect hot and sticky weather in Mumbai, but rain shouldn’t be an issue. MI vs SRH Pitch Report Wankhede Stadium typically produces first-innings scores around 170 on average. RCB set the IPL benchmark at this venue back in 2015, smashing 235-1 against MI. This season has seen extremes – 116 one match, then 221-5 the next. Given the ground’s reputation for high scores, however, neither side will feel safe unless they push beyond 200. Toss: To Bowl Chasing under lights is usually the favourable option at Wankhede, and both teams are likely to look to field first here.

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

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

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Punjab Kings vs Kolkata Knight Riders​𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : April 15, Tuesday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 :​ Maharaja Yadavindra Singh Cricket Stadium, Chandigarh, India​𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Indian Premier League 2025 Shreyas Iyer is Punjab’s man in form and has a fantastic record against KKR – 456 runs in 14 matches at an average of 41.45 and a strike rate of 150.49. Punjab Kings vs Kolkata Knight Riders​ 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. PBKS vs KKR Match Prediction & Analysis Match 31 of IPL 2025 has Punjab Kings (PK) facing Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in Chandigarh this Tuesday. Punjab have dropped to sixth after losing to Sunrisers Hyderabad, but they’re still viewed as one of the more dangerous sides this season because of their batting. KKR, last year’s winners, haven’t had the easiest run either, sitting even with three wins and three losses. Punjab will hope home conditions work in their favor, though KKR have enough in the tank to make this a tough one. TEAMS PREVIEW Punjab Kings Preview Punjab Kings have had a decent run so far—three wins, two losses, and they’re sitting sixth on the table. Their last outing was a wild one, losing to Sunrisers Hyderabad by 8 wickets in a game that saw 491 runs scored. Punjab smashed 245-6 but still couldn’t drag it past the finish line, with Hyderabad chasing it down with nearly two overs to spare. That pitch in Hyderabad was an absolute belter, and Punjab won’t want to overthink that result. Up top, Priyansh Arya and Prabhsimran Singh have been doing the job early, setting the tone in the powerplay. Shreyas Iyer has been rock solid at number three, hammering 250 runs in five knocks at a strike rate of 208.33. He’s looked in complete control and will be expected to carry that form forward. That said, not everything’s been smooth. Nehal Wadhera hasn’t quite found rhythm, and Glenn Maxwell has barely made a dent this season. Their lack of runs has made the middle overs a bit of a dead zone. Bringing Josh Inglis in could give the lineup a bit more bite. Kolkata Knight Riders Preview Kolkata Knight Riders haven’t managed back-to-back wins in IPL 2025, but they’ve avoided back-to-back defeats too. After three wins and three losses, they’ve been making smart adjustments along the way to stay in the fight. Their latest result — an 8-wicket thumping of Chennai Super Kings on their turf — pushed them up to fourth in the standings. The batting unit looks settled, though Quinton de Kock’s inconsistency hasn’t helped. Narine has made up for it with explosive starts, scoring at a rate of 190. Ajinkya Rahane, batting at No. 3, has been their most reliable contributor with 204 runs in six games at a strike rate of 154.54. A smart move last game was sending Rinku Singh in at No. 4 — something they should’ve done earlier. He’s much more impactful when he has enough deliveries to work with. On the flip side, Andre Russell is still looking for rhythm with the bat, and Ramandeep Singh has barely made a mark. Venkatesh Iyer had one decent knock but hasn’t done much otherwise. Weather Conditions The pitch at Mullanpur has been excellent for batting, particularly in the first half. The ball comes on nicely to the bat, and batters can hit through the line to get their boundaries. Spinners will come into play once the pitch slows down a little in the second half, but it won’t be too dramatic.  The weather in Mullanpur will be hot and hazy, and it won’t be easy on the players. There is no forecast of rain, so we will get a full match. In the two matches played at Mullanpur in IPL 2025, teams batting first have posted 205-4 and 219-6, respectively, and won the game quite comfortably in the end. Expect another high-scoring game with the team batting first eyeing a total of around 200-210 runs. Toss: To Bat Both the previous games of IPL 2025 held at Mullanpur, Chandigarh, have been won comfortably by the team batting first. This indicates that batting first is the safer option here.

Lucknow Super Giants vs Chennai Super Kings, IPLT20, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : ​​​​​​Lucknow Super Giants vs Chennai Super Kings 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : April 14, Monday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 :​ Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Indian Premier League 2025 Chennai Super Kings have struggled against Lucknow Super Giants in the IPL, winning just one of their four meetings. , Lucknow Super Giants vs Chennai Super 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. LSG vs CSK Match Prediction & Analysis Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) face off against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the 30th match of IPL 2025 this Monday in Lucknow. LSG have punched above their weight so far with four wins and two losses, landing them in third place. CSK kicked off their campaign with a win but haven’t been able to recover after that, slumping to five straight defeats and falling to ninth place. With home support behind them and CSK struggling to find their rhythm, LSG look better placed going into this one. TEAMS PREVIEW Lucknow Super Giants Preview Not many backed Lucknow Super Giants when the season began, but they’ve pulled off four wins from six and now sit third in the standings. They’re coming off a 6-wicket win over Gujarat Titans at the Ekana, where they chased 181 with three balls to spare. What’ll encourage them most is doing it without Mitchell Marsh, who was unavailable due to personal reasons. It’s still unclear if he’ll be back for the next game. Nicholas Pooran (61 off 34) and Aiden Markram (58 off 31) were the standouts in the last match, both playing impactful knocks to ease the chase. Pooran is now leading the IPL 2025 run charts—349 runs in six games at an average of 69.80 and a blistering strike rate of 215.43. Markram’s growing in confidence too, up to 202 runs with a strike rate of 153.03. If Marsh returns, LSG will have a stacked top order.  But the rest of the batting hasn’t quite held up. Rishabh Pant’s struggled badly—only 40 runs in five innings—and the pressure has crept into the middle order. David Miller has looked out of rhythm too, unable to find any timing. Chennai Super Kings Preview Things are going downhill fast for Chennai Super Kings, who just suffered their fifth loss in a row—this time a brutal 8-wicket defeat to Kolkata Knight Riders at home. It was a sorry effort from the five-time champs, putting up just 103-9 after being sent in. KKR chased it with ease in only 10.1 overs. Regular captain Ruturaj Gaikwad missing the rest of the season with injury only adds to CSK’s headaches. He was their most reliable batter, and without him, their top order looks shaky. Conway and Ravindra have to step up now, but so far, it hasn’t been convincing. Ravindra hasn’t been able to build a proper innings, and Conway’s been hot and cold. The middle-order isn’t helping either. Rahul Tripathi and Vijay Shankar have failed to build momentum after early wickets, and haven’t been able to accelerate either. Weather Conditions At Ekana, batters might need to ease into their innings instead of swinging from ball one, though scoring won’t be too tough once they settle. The pitch tends to get slower and two-paced as the match goes on, which should suit the spinners in the middle overs. Fast bowlers will need to rely on variations—cutters and slower deliveries—to limit the damage.  The Lucknow heat and humidity will be a factor, but there’s no rain in the forecast to worry about. LSG vs CSK Pitch Report The average first innings score at Ekana Cricket Stadium tends to hover around 166. Last season, Kolkata Knight Riders’ 235 for 6 against Lucknow Super Giants was the highest team total here, a game they game by 98 runs.

Delhi Capitals vs Mumbai Indians, IPLT20, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : ​​​​​​Delhi Capitals vs Mumbai Indians 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : April 13, Sunday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 7:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 :​ Arun Jaitley Stadium, Central Delhi, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Indian Premier League 2025 The last time these two teams met at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi Capitals secured a 10-run win over Mumbai Indians in a high-scoring game. Delhi Capitals 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. DC vs MI Match Prediction & Analysis Delhi Capitals take on Mumbai Indians at home in Match 29 of IPL 2025 this Sunday night. DC are on a roll with four wins in a row and now sit second on the table. They haven’t lost a game yet this season and look well put-together. MI, on the other hand, have struggled—just one win from five outings has left them in eighth place. Based on current form, Delhi clearly have the upper hand. TEAMS PREVIEW Delhi Capitals Preview Delhi Capitals are rolling this season. Four wins from four, 8 points in the bag, and a tidy NRR of +1.278 puts them second on the table. Their latest outing saw them ease past Royal Challengers Bengaluru by 6 wickets, chasing 164 with 13 balls left. It wasn’t all smooth sailing—DC were struggling at 58 for 4 in the 9th over. Then KL Rahul (93* off 53) and Tristan Stubbs (38* off 23) turned it around with a ruthless 111-run stand off just 55 balls. Rahul’s been the game-changer—185 runs in three innings at a strike rate of 169.72. He’s been calm, calculated, and explosive when needed—exactly what DC needed to solidify their batting. Jake Fraser-McGurk hasn’t quite clicked yet, but anyone who watched him last season knows he just needs one clean hit to flip a game. Ashutosh Sharma is making sure the lower order doesn’t fade—his clean striking in the final overs has already tilted a couple of games. Mumbai Indians Preview Mumbai Indians have had a tough run this IPL season. They’ve managed just one win so far and dropped four games, including a 12-run defeat at home against RCB while chasing 222. That said, they did fight hard in that chase—Tilak Varma smashed 56 off 29, and Hardik Pandya hammered 42 off just 15, but it wasn’t enough. One of MI’s main concerns is their inconsistent top order. Will Jacks and Ryan Rickelton have had a few good moments, but nothing that really turned a game. Rohit Sharma hasn’t hit his stride either, so expectations around him are low for now. Suryakumar Yadav has been one of the few bright spots—199 runs from five innings at an average of 50 and a strike rate north of 150. He’ll be central to how MI go in this one. Tilak and Hardik finding form again gives them more options.  Pandya’s also been doing the job with the ball, picking up 10 wickets at an economy of 8.57. Deepak Chahar has been steady too, with four wickets and decent control in his spells. Boult continues to be a threat early on with the new ball. Weather Conditions The pitch at Arun Jaitley Stadium tends to be flat and quick to settle under lights. Expect a true surface where stroke-makers enjoy value for their shots, especially the square of the wicket. Spinners might get some grip as the game wears on, but it’s rarely dramatic, so expect batters to dominate the proceedings.  The weather in Delhi will be warm and humid, but clear of any rain. DC vs MI Pitch Report The average first innings score at Delhi’s Arun Jaitley Stadium sits at 170, but things got wild there last season. In just five games, teams crossed 200 eight times, with Sunrisers Hyderabad smashing 266-7 against Delhi Capitals—the highest of the lot. Another high-scoring game could be on the cards, though conditions this year haven’t offered many flat tracks. Both sides will likely aim for something in the 200-220 range. Toss: To Bat All five matches played at Arun Jaitley Stadium in IPL 2024 were won by the team batting first. Going by these numbers, its clear batting first is advantageous on this venue.

RR vs RCB Match Prediction & Analysis The competition has touched the roof in the Indian Premier League 2025, where we see changes at the top of the points table with every game. The Rajasthan Royals will look to improve their position on the points table as they take on the Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the 28th game. RCB went down against the Delhi Capitals in their last game. The Rajasthan Royals also enter this game with a loss against the Gujarat Titans.  The Royal Challengers Bengaluru have their openers in good form and on a flat batting surface they will look to play to their strengths. The bowling attack also has bowlers suited for these conditions. The Rajasthan Royals’ bowlers have struggled this year, which will be challenging for the side against the force that RCB is. Both sides will look to move up on the points table, and we expect a close contest.  TEAMS PREVIEW Rajasthan Royals Preview Sanju Samson’s team must put the upset against the Gujarat Titans behind them. They bowled poorly and lost the game by 58 runs. The team has a strong batting lineup, but the bowling attack is inconsistent. It will be a tough challenge for the team against the Royal Challengers in this game. Samson expects a strong show from his bowlers in this game to improve its position on the table.  Sanju Samson must lead from the front and deliver a good start with Yashasvi Jaiswal, whose lack of form hurts the team. The middle order must play aggressively, and the team needs a strong show from Nitish Rana, Riyan Parag, and Dhruv Jurel. Shimron Hetmyer has done well in the lower middle order, and the team expects him to add quick runs in the game with Shubham Dubey.   Jofra Archer has found his form after struggling in the first few games. The team expects early wickets from him and Fazalhaq Farooqi. The team has struggled in the middle overs and needs good spells from Sandeep Sharma and Maheesh Theekshana. Sandeep Sharma and Riyan Parag must do well in the supporting role as the RCB batters will take them on.  Royal Challengers Bengaluru Preview Rajat Patidar was upset after his team’s loss in the last game against the Delhi Capitals. They had the game in the bag, but they had a poor bowling performance in the death overs, losing the game by 6 wickets. The team has a strong batting lineup, and Patidar expects a better show from his bowlers in this game to move up on the points table.  The side expects fireworks from Virat Kohli and Phillip Salt, as both players are in good form. They must take on Rajasthan’s bowlers, who are low on confidence. The middle order has struggled in a few games, and the team expects Devdutt Padikkal, Rajat Patidar, and Liam Livingstone to build big partnerships. The team has depth in the batting and expects quick runs from Jitesh Sharma, Krunal Pandya, and Tim David.  The bowlers failed to deliver the goods as a group in the last game. The team expects a good start with the new ball from Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Yash Dayal. Josh Hazlewood and Suyash Sharma must pick wickets in the middle overs and trouble the batters. The side expects a good show in the supporting role from Krunal Pandya and Liam Livingstone. Weather Conditions We will see clear skies at Jaipur. It will be a good batting surface where batsmen can hit through the line. Bowlers will have a tough time on this wicket and must bowl well to get rewards. The average first-innings score is 161 runs, and team batting first would target 180 plus to feel comfortable on this surface. RR vs RCB Pitch Report Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur, is a batsman’s paradise. The wicket has true bounce and pace, allowing batters to hit through the line. Spinners enjoy bowling on this surface as the ball bounces and turns sharply. It is a tough wicket for the bowlers as the dryness doesn’t offer them much.  Toss: To Bowl Defending scores at this venue is tough. The wicket can be tricky to bat at the start of the game, but the batting conditions improve as the game progresses. The side won’t hesitate to bowl first and aim to restrict the opposition to a small total.

SRH vs PBKS Match Prediction & Analysis We have entered the most important stage in the Indian Premier League 2025, where some teams are taking the pole position on the points table. Sunrisers Hyderabad will battle for their survival as they take on the Punjab Kings in the 27th game. The Sunrisers went down against the Gujarat Titans in the last game by a big margin, and they must find their form back. The Punjab Kings will be confident after their win against the Chennai Super Kings in the last game.  The Sunrisers Hyderabad have won the last four out of five games between the two teams, and the players will take confidence from earlier wins. They have a strong batting lineup and expect it to strike form in this game. The Punjab Kings have done well this season, but the poor record against the Sunrisers will be on their mind. It will be interesting to see if the team can beat the odds in this contest.  TEAMS PREVIEW Sunrisers Hyderabad Preview It’s becoming a downhill slide for Pat Cummins and his men. The side has suffered four consecutive losses. They struggled with the bat in the last game against the Gujarat Titans, going down by 7 wickets. It is a must-win game for the team to keep hopes alive for the rest of the season. Cummins expects a better show from his batsmen, who have struggled in the last few games.  Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma are struggling, and the team expects an explosive start from this pair. The team has a strong middle order and expects good performances from Ishan Kishan, Nitish Reddy, and Heinrich Klaasen in the game. The lower middle order has struggled, and the team needs Aniket Verma, Kamindu Mendis, and Pat Cummins to do well.  Mohammed Shami and Pat Cummins must strike early as the Punjab Kings have a formidable top order. Simarjeet Singh struggled in the last game, and he must bowl well in the middle overs with Jaydev Unadkat and Zeeshan Ansari. The team also expects good performances in the supporting role from Kamindu Mendis and Abhiskeh Sharma. Punjab Kings Preview The Punjab Kings have surprised everyone this season with their consistency. Shreyas Iyer will be proud of his players’ performance in most games. It was a clinical show from the team against the Chennai Super Kings, where they won by 18 runs. They have a poor record at this venue, and Iyer would like a strong show from his men to beat the jinx at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.  Priyansh Arya hit a match-winning hundred in the last game and will look to deliver a positive start with Prabhsimran Singh. Shreyas Iyer will look to lead from the front and do well in the middle order with Marcus Stoinis and Nehal Wadhera. Glenn Maxwell, Shashank Singh, and Marco Jansen add firepower to the team’s batting.  The bowling attack will look to exploit the weaknesses in Sunrisers’ batting. Arshdeep Singh and Yash Thakur will look to strike early in this game. Glenn Maxwell has done well this season and will look to do well in the middle overs with Marco Jansen. Yuzvendra Chahal, Stoinis, and Lockie Ferguson add variety to this attack. Weather Conditions We will see clear skies over Hyderabad. We will see a flat surface where the batsmen can score runs at will. Bowlers will have a tough time on this surface as there is little on this track for them. The average first-innings score is 205 runs and the team batting first will aim for 230 on the board. SRH vs PBKS Pitch Report Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad, has an excellent batting surface. Batsmen have done, and they can play their strokes at this venue. There isn’t much on this track for the fast bowlers, and they must bend their backs to do well. Spinners have enjoyed the conditions and have been successful here. Toss: To Bat It is among the best batting surfaces in the IPL, where we have seen batsmen take the bowling attack to the cleaners. Big scores have been the norm at this venue. Most teams have found it difficult to chase runs on this surface. The side winning the toss would look to bat first.

LSG’s season has been a mixed bag so far — they’ve won three and lost two, which puts them in fifth place. Gujarat, on the other hand, have bounced back strong after dropping their first game, stacking up four straight wins to top the table. While LSG have the benefit of playing at home, Gujarat’s current momentum gives them the edge heading into this matchup. TEAMS PREVIEW Lucknow Super Giants Preview Not many had Lucknow Super Giants pegged as contenders when IPL 2025 got going, but with three wins from five games, they’re still in it. Their last outing was a high-scoring thriller in Kolkata, where they smashed 238-3 and held on for a narrow 4-run win—even as KKR threatened to chase it down early. Mitchell Marsh (81 off 48) and Nicholas Pooran (87* off 36) led the charge. Both have been in red-hot form—Marsh has racked up 265 runs in five games at a strike rate of 180.27, including four fifties. Pooran, meanwhile, leads the team’s run tally with 288 runs at a strike rate of 225. Aiden Markram seems to be finding his groove too—his 47 against KKR was smooth, and he’s now got 144 runs at 142.57. But outside of them, the batting has looked thin. Rishabh Pant’s form has been a worry—three scores in single digits have left the middle order under pressure. David Miller hasn’t looked comfortable either, struggling to find timing or rhythm. Badoni and Samad have chipped in here and there, but they’ll need to step it up if the top doesn’t fire. Gujarat Titans Preview After a stumble in their opener at home in Ahmedabad, where they lost to Punjab, Gujarat Titans have snapped back with four straight wins. They now sit at the top of the table and are starting to look like the kind of team no one wants to face. The top-order trio of Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill, and Jos Buttler are starting to click. Sudharsan, in particular, has been on another level—he’s scored 273 runs in five matches, averaging 54.60 with a strike rate of 151.66. The left-hand opener has already notched up three half-centuries, including an 82 off 53 in their last match against Rajasthan Royals that helped secure a 58-run victory. Gill hasn’t been as consistent, managing just one fifty, but he’s the kind of batter who’s never far from a big score. We think he’s due for a 40-plus knock in this one. Weather Conditions The Ekana Cricket Stadium pitch won’t allow batters to attack freely early on, though runs should still come at a decent rate. As the match wears on, the surface slows down, bringing spinners into play during the middle overs. Seamers will have to bowl cutters and slower ones to keep the batters in check.  While Lucknow’s conditions will be hot and sticky, the forecast shows no rain to disrupt play. LSG vs GT Pitch Report Ekana Cricket Stadium typically sees first innings scores around 166. During last season’s IPL, Kolkata Knight Riders set the highest total at this ground with 235-6 against Lucknow Super Giants, cruising to a 98-run victory. Judging by the opening two matches at Ekana in IPL 2025, teams will want to aim for 190-200 runs to feel comfortable defending their total. Toss: To Bat Setting runs has served better instead of chasing in the IPL this season, with eight of the last nine games being won by the team batting first. In Ekana, too, the last match saw the team batting first emerge victorious. Hence, batting first would be the safer option in this game, especially as this is an afternoon fixture.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : ​​​​​​Chennai Super Kings vs Kolkata Knight Riders 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : April 11, Friday 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 7:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 :​ M. A. Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Indian Premier League 2025 Chennai Super Kings have a great record against Kolkata Knight Riders at the MA Chidambaram Stadium – 8 wins and only three losses. Chennai Super Kings vs Kolkata Knight Riders 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 KKR Match Prediction & Analysis Match 25 of IPL 2025 sees Chennai Super Kings (CSK) take on Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in Chennai this Friday. CSK are having a torrid season so far, with just one win and four losses. KKR, last year’s champs, haven’t exactly had a smooth run either, sitting on two wins and three losses. Both sides head into this one after a defeat, and pressure is mounting. CSK will be banking on familiar conditions to pull off a much-needed win, but KKR have the tools to handle this surface and won’t go down without a fight. TEAMS PREVIEW Chennai Super Kings Preview CSK’s season has taken a nosedive after a bright start. Since their opening win, they’ve slumped to four straight losses, sitting at ninth place with a weak NRR of -0.889. Their most recent defeat came against Punjab Kings, losing by 18 runs despite putting up 201-5 in response to a 220-run target. There were some positives with the bat, which might help build some momentum going forward. Still, there’s plenty to fix across the board. The top order—Rachin Ravindra, Devon Conway, and Ruturaj Gaikwad—has been patchy and way too cautious during the powerplay, putting the rest of the lineup under unnecessary pressure. Shivam Dube brought some spark with a solid 42 off 27 last game, and Dhoni’s 27 off 12 added a late push. But outside of them, there just isn’t enough firepower to finish games. Relying on Dhoni at 43 or expecting Jadeja and Ashwin to go big at the death isn’t a winning formula. The bowling hasn’t helped their case either. Khaleel Ahmed’s been sharp with the new ball, grabbing 10 wickets at an 8.25 economy. You can almost count on him to strike early. Noor Ahmad has stood out as well, leading the team with 11 wickets at 8.33. He’ll be a big factor at Chidambaram. Kolkata Knight Riders Preview Kolkata Knight Riders have had a stop-start season so far, with two wins and three losses. Just when it feels like they’ve turned a corner, they slip up again. In their last outing, they came close to chasing down a massive 239 at home, falling short by just four runs. It was a match they’d feel they should’ve won, especially after cruising at 162-2 in 13 overs before collapsing under pressure. That said, the batting effort was still promising. Skipper Ajinkya Rahane led the charge with a fluent 61 off 35, while Venkatesh Iyer (45 off 29) and Sunil Narine (30 off 13) chipped in with useful cameos. Rinku Singh’s 38* off 15 at the back end gave them a chance, but it wasn’t quite enough. Their batting looks solid on paper, though Quinton de Kock’s patchy form hasn’t helped their cause. Andre Russell hasn’t found his rhythm with the bat either, and Ramandeep Singh has struggled to get going. Their bowling took a beating in that high-scoring game, but the surface at Chidambaram Stadium should work in their favor. Varun Chakaravarthy and Sunil Narine could make a big impact with their combined eight overs. Moeen Ali might also slot into the XI, likely replacing Spencer Johnson, adding another spin option and some depth to the batting. Weather Conditions Spin will be king at Chepauk again, with the surface slowing down considerably as the game progresses. Batsmen will need to capitalize during powerplays before the ball softens and starts gripping. Most overs will likely go to spinners in these slow conditions. Weather-wise, players can expect standard Chennai heat and humidity under clear skies. CSK vs KKR Pitch Report Chepauk tends to produce first-innings scores around 160. Out of the three matches played here in IPL 2025, the biggest total so far came from Royal Challengers Bengaluru, who put up 196-7 against CSK and won that one by 50 runs. The pitch should play slow again, offering plenty for the spinners. A first-innings target in the 170-180 range would put the batting side in a solid position. Toss: To Bat Recent results at Chepauk favor the team that bats first – they’ve won the last two IPL 2025 contests at this venue. The surface tends to get slower as the game progresses, creating tougher conditions for chasing teams in the second innings.

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

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

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : ​​​​​​Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Delhi Capitals 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : April 10, Thursday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 07:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 :​ M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Indian Premier League 2025 RCB have had Delhi Capitals’ number in recent IPL seasons. Out of their last five meetings, Bengaluru came out on top in all but one encounter.  Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Delhi Capitals 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. TEAMS PREVIEW Royal Challengers Bengaluru Preview Royal Challengers Bengaluru have kicked off IPL 2025 in strong fashion. They’ve played four games so far, winning three and dropping just one. Their latest outing was a nail-biter — a 12-run win over Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede. After putting up a solid 221-5 batting first, they held their nerve with the ball, even as MI threatened a late comeback. The runs were well spread out this time. Virat Kohli was at it again, scoring a fluent 67 off 42. He’s now topping the charts for RCB this season with 167 runs from four games at an average of 54.66 and a strike rate of 143.85. Rajat Patidar led the side with intent, blasting 64 off just 32, while Jitesh Sharma’s unbeaten 40 off 19 and Devdutt Padikkal’s 37 off 22 kept the momentum going.  RCB’s lineup looks deep and dangerous, with Tim David batting as low as seven. Philip Salt hasn’t quite clicked yet, but he’s due — and a quick 30-plus knock could be just around the corner. Delhi Capitals Preview Delhi Capitals have had a flying start to the season, winning all three games with ease and sitting at the top of the table. Their latest win was a 25-run result over Chennai Super Kings at Chepauk. On a sluggish pitch, DC posted 183-6 and then kept CSK to 158-5 with disciplined bowling. KL Rahul led the charge with a fluent 77 off 51. His calm presence at the top makes a big difference—he can keep the scoreboard ticking and also shift gears when needed. The middle-order looks in good shape too, with Abishek Porel, Tristan Stubbs, and Axar Patel all looking dependable and capable of putting runs on the board. Jake Fraser-McGurk hasn’t fired yet this season, but we’ve seen what he can do last season when he finds rhythm. A flat pitch like Chinnaswamy might be the perfect setup for him to play a quick, impactful knock. Ashutosh Sharma’s finishing skills also give DC that edge at the death—he can take down any attack in the last few overs. Weather Conditions Batsmen love the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium pitch, and for good reason – it’s usually flat and true, perfect for big hitting. Spinners can make an impact in the middle stages if the pitch offers grip, as we saw in the previous contest here. Conditions, however, will probably heavily favor batting with minimal assistance for bowlers. The forecast calls for mild, somewhat cloudy conditions in Bengaluru during game time, but no rain threat means we’ll likely get a complete match without weather interruptions. At M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, teams batting first typically average 168 runs. But this venue often delivers big scores – Sunrisers Hyderabad smashed 287 against RCB here in IPL 2024, setting a new tournament record. For this match, the side batting first will likely aim for 210-220 to feel comfortable. Toss: To Bat Looking at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium’s recent history, we see a clear pattern emerging. The team taking first strike has won four of the previous six IPL contests held at this ground. Such statistics point to a noticeable benefit when establishing a total instead of pursuing one. Given these figures, the smart play appears to be batting first whenever possible at this venue.
