Moorthy In the battle of shaky top orders, Rahul Tewatia’s rearguard action took Gujarat Titans over the line by three wickets against Punjab Kings at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium here on Sunday. Though a 143-run target was just what the under-fire Titans batting line-up would have wished for, poor shot selection helped Punjab claw back and give the Shubman Gill-led side a scare. At the 16-over mark, the visitor still needed 38 runs to win with the last recognised batting pair, Tewatia and Shahrukh Khan, at the crease. The former survived a close lbw shout in the following over, attempting a perilous reverse-sweep off Harpreet Brar. He backed himself and reprised the shot two deliveries later, fetching a boundary on this occasion. That opened the floodgates as 27 runs came off the next nine balls, with Kagiso Rabada’s over, 18th of the innings, going for 20 runs. Though Harshal Patel gave the crowd some cheer with two wickets in the 19th over with a yorker and a full toss, it wasn’t enough for Punjab to avoid its fourth consecutive defeat at home. Earlier, it was a familiar script for Punjab as Shashank Singh and Ashutosh Sharma stood at the burning deck, with their team floundering at 86 for five. Unfortunately for the host, there was no redemption this time as both batters were back in the dugout in a span of three overs, deceived in flight by left-arm spinner R. Sai Kishore. With the innings tottering at 99 for seven, it fell upon Impact Player Harpreet Singh Bhatia and No. 9 Harpreet Brar to drag the host to 142. After electing to bat, Punjab’s top order flattered to deceive as Sam Curran and Prabhsimran Singh put on the team’s second 50-run opening partnership of the season but were soon watching the proceedings from the sidelines. Prabhsimran, Rilee Rossouw, Liam Livingstone and Jitesh Sharma succumbed to a rush of blood to the head, leaving their side in early trouble. Sai Kishore, Noor Ahmad and Rashid Khan picked seven wickets between them, transcending seamer-friendly conditions and bamboozling the host in its den. Scoreboard PUNJAB KINGS: Sam Curran lbw b Rashid 20 (19b, 2×4), Prabhsimran Singh c Saha b Mohit 35 (21b, 3×4, 3×6), Rilee Rossouw lbw b Noor 9 (7b, 2×4), Jitesh Sharma b Sai Kishore 13 (12b, 1×6), Liam Livingstone c Tewatia b Noor 6 (9b, 1×4), Shashank Singh c & b Sai Kishore 8 (12b), Ashutosh Sharma c Mohit b Sai Kishore 3 (8b), Harpreet Bhatia (Impact Player in place of Prabhsimran) run out 14 (19b), Harpreet Brar c Shahrukh b Sai Kishore 29 (12b, 4×4, 1×6), Harshal Patel c Shahrukh b Mohit 0 (1b), Kagiso Rabada (not out) 1 (1b); Extras (lb-1, nb-1, w-2): 4; Total (in 20 overs): 142.

Buttler when on song is hard to stop. Back him as RR top batter against MI. Trent Boult with his left arm swing bowling possesses abilities to blow MI top order. We are expecting him to deliver a good show against MI thus he is our pick for RR top bowler.Rohit Sharma has got starts but barring a hundred against CSK, he does not have a fifty+ score. Rohit needs to ensure he plays through the innings when set at the crease, something he is very capable off. Back him as MI top batter. Jasprit Bumrah has been magnificent for MI and is the leading wicket-taker of the tournament, with 13 wickets. He is a great pick for top bowler.Both MI and RR have multiple six hitters in the team and on a venue that is known to see some of the biggest hits, expect a lot of fireworks. Total sixes in the match should be over 15.5.

Rajasthan Royals vs Mumbai Indians T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, IPL 2024 Rajasthan Royals will play Mumbai Indians in the 38th match of the IPL 2024. The game will be played at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur and will start at 7:30 PM IST on April 22nd. Rajasthan Royals have been the best team of the tournament so far. They are placed at the top of the table with six wins and just one defeat in seven matches. Their only defeat came against Gujarat Titans, however, that was a game they dominated for most part. The Royals look a brute force as each and every player has made a significant contribution to the team’s juggernaut. Meanwhile, MI have struggled to play best cricket. The team has lost four crucial matches and need a few back to back wins to have realistic chance of playoff qualification. MI have a strong team but somehow the team does not looks on the same page. Maybe the Hardik Pandya-Rohit Sharma captaincy change has something to do with it but the team has looked off colour. Another major concern for MI has been the lack of support for Jasprit Bumrah. While the ace Indian pacer has been outstanding, other bowlers have been hammered. Rajasthan Royals vs Mumbai Indians Match Toss PredictionToss will be crucial here as 180+ totals have been easily chased here in the previous two games. Captain winning the toss should chase again. Rajasthan Royals vs Mumbai Indians Pitch ReportThe pitch at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur is batting friendly. The new ball has done a bit but short boundaries and quick outfield has ensured that players have caught up with the run rate when the ball stops moving. Spinners have got some help though and can be the game changers. Jaipur Weather ReportIt will be a humid evening with temperature hovering around high 20s. The humidity will be 22 per cent and the wind speed will be 12 kmph. There is a 10 per cent chance of rain.

Dale Steyn indirectly refers to Jasprit Bumrah as ‘God’ after SRH inflict ‘mortal’-like carnage on DC bowlers | Cricket

Danijones12 months ago05 mins

After watching Sunrisers Hyderabad’s blitzkrieg show against Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Saturday, former South Africa fast bowler Dale Steyn admitted that while he is glad he is no longer an active cricketer, the 40-year-old pointed out an opportunity in disguise for the bowlers in IPL 2024, which the batters have so far ruled. Dale Steyn was all praise for Jasprit Bumrah after SRH’s carnage against DC IPL 2024 has been a high-scoring season with 15 200-plus totals in just 35 matches so far, of which the 250-run mark has been breached five times already, the most in a single season in the league’s history. Sunrisers own three of those scores, having notched up 277/3 against Mumbai Indians, which then emerged as the highest-ever total in IPL, before they smashed their record by clobbering 287/3 against RCB at the Chinnaswamy and later on Saturday, smashed 266/7 against Delhi. HT launches Crick-it, a one stop destination to catch Cricket, anytime, anywhere. Explore now! Sunrisers rode on another batting masterclass from Travis Head, who scored 89 off just 32 balls, which included a 16-ball fifty, the joint fastest this season, while Abhishek Sharma notched up 46 off just 12 balls as the openers amassed a record 125 runs in the powerplay, the most ever by any side in T20 history. Down the order, SRH found support from Shahbaz Ahmed, who laced five sixes in his 29-ball 59 not out as the visitors in New Delhi recorded this third highest total this season. Amid the carnage, Steyn reckoned that the IPL 2024 season offers bowlers the best opportunity to stand out from the lot and become “a wanted God”, implying that an economical performance in a season having the highest run-scoring rate will automatically raise the value of a bowler. Steyn tweeted: “I could make a joke and say I’m glad I’m retired and no longer bowling, but…It’s always a good time to be a bowler, if you can make yourself the best, you’ll be a wanted god among mere mortals. The slayer of rampaging runs! Insensitive’s have never been higher. I’d wana be a bowler more than anything! When subtly asked by a fan whether Steyn’s post referred to Jasprit Bumrah, the South Africa legend agreed. The fan said: “Just shorten it and say, ‘Be a Jasprit Bumrah!’” And Steyn replied saying: “Well, exactly that.” Bumrah is not only the current Purple Cap holder with 13 wickets for Mumbai Indians in seven games so far, but has also been the most economical bowler this season (among 57 players who have at least bowled 60 deliveries), having conceded at just 5.96 runs per over. The MI quick has not only been a potent weapon for the franchise with the new ball, but has been phenomenally restrictive in the death overs as well, where he picked six wickets (most in IPL 2024) at an economy rate of just 6.89.

He played a magnificent innings of 68 against MI. He is getting high odds of 9.50 as PBKS top batter and we would suggest taking a bet on him as there is a great chance he may get promoted up the order given his form. Meanwhile, Kagiso Rabada with 10 wickets has been the best PBKS bowler. Back him as top bowler.Shubman Gill has scores of 89 and 72 in the tournament so we can’t say he is completely out of form. However, he needs to be more consistent given that he is the team’s best batter. Back him as top scorer for GT. Rashid Khan has not taken many wickets but you can’t look beyond him when it comes to the best wickettaking option for GT. Back him as top bowler.It is a big hitting ground and the ball usually travels a long distance. As many as 22 sixes were hit in the last match between MI and PBKS so we can safely say that total sixes should be over 15.5. Punjab Kings 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. Punjab Kings vs Gujarat Titans T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, IPL 2024 PBKS will host GT in match number 37 of the IPL 2024. The game will be played at the Maharaja Yadavindra Cricket Stadium, Mullanpur, Mohali and will start at 7:30 PM IST on April 21st. Punjab Kings have been below par in the tournament so far. The team has played seven games and lost four of them. Punjab Kings haven’t been that bad as the results show but their inability to seize crunch moments have cost them a few games. We are almost halfway into the tournament and barring Shashank Singh and Ashutosh Sharma, none of the Punjab Kings players has delivered a consistent show. PBKS will be aware that they need to string together a few wins in coming matches to stay alive in the race. A couple of defeats and their campaign can well be over way before expected. Meanwhile, GT have also been ordinary. They have played seven games, winning thee and losing four. They suffered a massive defeat to DC in the last game after they were bowled out for a mere 89 and DC chased the target in 9 overs. The coming game thus becomes very important for both sides. Punjab Kings vs Gujarat Titans Match Toss PredictionDefending here could be tough. In the last game, MI almost conceded a defeat after scoring 192 thus captain winning the toss should bowl first. Punjab Kings vs Gujarat Titans Pitch ReportThe wicket at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh Stadium is good to bat but pacers with the new ball can also be effective as ball tends to move around a bit. However, this has been a high scoring venue, with an average score of around 180 in IPL 2024. Chandigarh Weather ReportThe temperature will be around mid-20s during the evening, making it pleasant conditions for cricket. A humidty of 33 per cent and wind speed of 16 km/h is expected.

Varun Chakravarthy has taken three wickets from his last two appearances at Eden Gardens and he is a strong choice for KKR’s top wicket taker in this game.Virat Kohli is the leading run scorer in the tournament and is averaging 72.20 from seven innings. He is well worth backing as RCB’s highest run scorer against KKR. Lockie Ferguson came into the team for the last fixture and took two wickets. He is our pick for RCB’s top wicket taker in this match.No batter has been as consistent as Virat Kohli so far in the 2024 IPL so we recommend backing him to hit the most fours in this clash.

Kolkata Knight Riders vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, IPL 2024 Match 36 of the 2024 Indian Premier League sees Kolkata Knight Riders go head to head with Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Sunday afternoon at Eden Gardens. KKR have won four of their six fixtures so far and are in second place with RCB down at the bottom of the table. Read on as we preview this match. The game begins at 15:30 local time in Kolkata on April 21st. Although KKR have suffered recent defeats, they have been against the early pace setters Rajasthan Royals and last year’s Champions Chennai Super Kings. They have had an impressive start to the tournament and we expect them to be able to win this clash against the bottom of the table side. RCB have no teams below them in the league at the moment and confidence is particularly low in their bowling unit as seen by all of their bowlers recording economy rates of 10.66 – 18.00 in their last match. In spite of their strong batters, we are not anticipating an RCB win in Kolkata. Kolkata Knight Riders vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru Match Toss PredictionAlmost 60% of the IPL matches at Eden Gardens have been won by the team chasing so we are predicting that both sides will want to field first in this clash. Kolkata Knight Riders vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru Pitch ReportThis certainly looks like being another good batting wicket in this year’s IPL and the surface at Eden Gardens delivered 447 runs in the last game! The pace bowlers are likely to be expensive unless they can produce some high level variations. Batters will find the bounce to be true and whoever bats first will be looking to post a total of at least 215 to be competitive. Kolkata Weather ReportThis is going to be played under very hot conditions on Sunday afternoon with the temperature likely to be in the high thirties throughout. There will be a light breeze and no rain is forecast.

NEW DELHI: Chennai Super Kings all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja pulled off a miraculous one-handed stunner to send Lucknow Super Giants skipper KL Rahul packing for 82 in Lucknow in Indian Premier League match on Friday.Often regarded as a live wire on the field and one of the greatest fielders of his time, Jadeja showcased sensational hand-eye co-ordination to pluck a blinder out of thin air.The incident took place on the first ball of the 18th over when Matheesha Pathirana threw a back of length delivery wide outside off. As Rahul saw room, he threw his bat at it middled. The ball flew straight to backward-point, close to where Jadeja was positioned. As the ball travelled to him in a blink of an eye, Jadeja leaped to his left, putting out his hand and the ball just stuck. Seeing the superhuman effort, a stunned CSK skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad could only manage to put his hand on the mouth. “Ohh! What a catch. Is that the catch of the IPL? Wow! That (ball) was flying like a tracer bullet and he has just plucked it out of thin air as if its nothing,” said a highly excited Ravi Shastri on-air. Despite Jadeja blinder that ended Rahul’s knock, his 53-ball 82 powered Lucknow to a solid eight-wicket win over CSK.Chasing a tricky 177, Rahul and Quinton de Kock (54) smashed superb fifties as LSG crossed the finish line with 6 balls to spare. With the comfortable victory, Lucknow returned to winning ways after suffering two back-to-back defeats.

Read on as we preview this clash which gets underway at 19:30 local time at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi on April 20th. Coming into this game after back to back wins, Delhi Capitals will be confident of making it three in a row and there is a youthful freshness to the side. However, they will be up against one of the best batting line-ups in the tournament in this game and it will be a very tough contest. Sunrisers Hyderabad have assembled a side full of aggressive batters and due to the impact player option, they are able to pack their line-up with big hitters. Although they have lost two matches so far, they will travel to Delhi full of confidence after posting a record-breaking 287/3 in their last game. Delhi Capitals vs Sunrisers Hyderabad Match Toss PredictionOf the 84 IPL matches to have taken place at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, 46 have been won by the team fielding first.

One of the reasons why we are backing Rahul is that he can be very handy against CSK spinners in the middle overs and play through the innings. Shamar Joseph had a bad debut against DC and will be eyeing a strong return. He has pace and variations to trouble CSK so he is our pick for top bowler.For CSK, Shivam Dube has been on a six hitting spree. He has already hit 15 sixes this season. Back him to hit more than 1.5 sixes in the match. Matheesha Pathirana is fresh from a four wicket haul against MI. Pathirana is a good pick for CSK top bowler.The wicket in Lucknow has been slow and scoring boundaries has been tough. The total fours in the match should be less than 30.5 while total sixes should be over 12.5.

The game will be played at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow and will start at 7:30 PM IST on April 19. Lucknow Super Giants have lost the previous two games which makes the coming game against CSK very important. LSG haven’t been at their best so far. While teams have managed to score 200+ score consistently this season, LSG have mostly scored around the 160 run mark. Not sure that would be enough against CSK. The concern for LSG has been their batting as barring Nicholas Pooran, others have been ordinary, including KL Rahul. The bowlers though have done well. Meanwhile, CSK picked up a thrilling win over MI at the Wankhede Stadium. The team is placed third on the points table with four wins and two defeats. Ruturaj Gaikwad’s return to form is a great news for the team while Shivam Dube has been mighty consistent. MS Dhoni has also turned back the clock and struck lusty blows in final overs. However, lack of runs from Rachin Ravindra is a concern. The bowling from CSK has been top notch and the conditions in Lucknow will suit the visitors. Lucknow Super Giants vs Chennai Super Kings Match Toss PredictionEkana Stadium is not a very easy ground to chase and most captains have preferred to bat here and post a score of around 170-180. Lucknow Super Giants vs Chennai Super Kings Pitch ReportThe pitch at the Ekana Stadium is slightly on the slower side. The ball does not come on nicely and batters often struggle for timing.

MS Dhoni mania takes over South Africa: Dale Steyn wants CSK star to keep playing IPL

Danijones1 year ago04 mins

Former South Africa pace bowler Dale Steyn suggests that the fervor surrounding MS Dhoni extends beyond the Indian Premier League (IPL), surpassing the cricketing landscape of South Africa and captivating enthusiasts like himself. Steyn is in awe of Dhoni’s batting and said that watching the former CSK captain out in the field lifts his mood. Notably, Dhoni continues to be a crowd-favorite in the Indian Premier League, and at 42, he is still turning back the clock to demonstrate his six-hitting skills. Dhoni’s job has altered this season because he is no longer captain, but on the pitch, he remains the one who controls the game for the Super Kings. The legendary skipper has decided to bat lower down the order to give young players an opportunity as the franchise enters a transitional period. Despite this, Dhoni has still managed to make an impression with the bat this season. However, the speculations are rife that the ongoing season will be Dhoni’s last in the IPL as he also handed over the captaincy charge to Ruturaj Gaikwad this year. Steyn also said that he wants MS Dhoni to continue playing the Indian Premier League. IPL 2024 Full Coverage | IPL 2024 Points Table and Standings | 2024 IPL Full Schedule “Not only has it engulfed the IPL. That’s engulfed many South Africa and myself, to be honest with you, I don’t watch a lot of TV, but I seem to be glued to the seat when the IPL is on my girlfriend says that my TV is broken, it’s stuck on cricket right now IPL and watching MS the other night. That’s exactly what we want to do. You know, I’ve been on the receiving end of it before. I’ve watched it from a fan’s point of view, I loved it. I mean, I am a much better mood because of what I’ve just seen. So can we get more of MS Dhoni out in the middle? That would be great,” Dale Steyn said while speaking on Star Sports ahead of the MI vs PBKS match. Dhoni’s biggest issue this year has been his struggle with a knee ailment. The renowned wicketkeeper-batsman has been observed limping on multiple occasions this season, and he also had knee surgery following last season’s IPL. Recently, CSK bowling consultant Eric Simmons confessed Dhoni has been fighting with his knee ailment, but he has battled it heroically and without displaying any pain.
