𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Delhi Capitals​ ​𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : May 05, Monday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:30 PM IST​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 :​ Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium, Hyderabad, India​𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Indian Premier League, 2025 When Delhi Capitals and Sunrisers Hyderabad last faced off in IPL 2025, Delhi made short work of it—winning by 7 wickets in Vizag. Sunrisers Hyderabad 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. SRH vs DC Match Prediction & Analysis Match 55 of IPL 2025 sees Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) take on Delhi Capitals (DC) this Monday at the Uppal Stadium. Delhi have six wins from ten and currently hold fifth place, looking fairly stable through the season. Hyderabad, meanwhile, have only picked up three wins in ten and haven’t managed to build any rhythm. DC already got the better of SRH once earlier this season, and with current form on their side, they’ll feel confident going into this one. TEAMS PREVIEW Sunrisers Hyderabad Preview Sunrisers Hyderabad have had a rough run—just three wins in ten games has them sitting at ninth. Their net run rate of -1.192 is a big problem. Even if they pull off four straight wins to finish on 14 points, a playoff spot looks out of reach. They’ve mostly won when the top order fired from the start. But when they lose early wickets, there’s usually no recovery. That can’t happen again against Delhi Capitals, who already beat them once this season. SRH need a quick start, and that means Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head have to fire. Abhishek has looked incredible at times—like the 74 off 41 against GT chasing 225 in the last game in a losing cause —but Head has been badly out of form, and it’s cost them. Heinrich Klaasen, Ishan Kishan, and Nitish Kumar come in next. None have really gone big consistently, but there have been glimpses that they’re starting to find rhythm. One solid knock from any of them could make a difference in this match.  Aniket Verma’s been one of the few steady contributors. He has the ability to close out games with a strike rate of 154, which adds some punch at the end. The bowling hasn’t helped their case. Shami and Cummins haven’t been consistent, and Shami in particular has struggled—going at an economy of 11.23. Harshal Patel has been the more reliable one, picking up wickets and using changes of pace well in the middle overs. Delhi Capitals Preview Delhi Capitals kicked off the season strong with five wins in their first six games, but have slipped a bit since, managing just one win in their last four. They’re still in a decent spot with 12 points from 10 games, but things could get tricky fast if they drop more matches. This one feels like a must-win to keep their playoff push on track. Their batting unit has been doing the job. KL Rahul has been excellent, anchoring the innings and accelerating when needed—he’s scored 371 runs in nine innings with a strike rate of 146. At the top, Abishek Porel has been reliable too, racking up 257 runs in 10 games at a rate of 154. Axar Patel has added valuable runs in pressure moments, often dragging them back into games from tough spots. Tristan Stubbs, batting lower down, has also come through with important knocks and currently has 218 runs from nine innings at a quick 161.48. Faf du Plessis returning at the top has added some much-needed stability to DC’s top order. We expect him to put up at least 30 in this one. Mitchell Starc has been a bit on the expensive side, but he’s picked up 14 wickets from 10 matches and has struck at the right times. Kuldeep Yadav’s kept it tight through the middle overs with 12 wickets at an economy of 6.74. Vipraj Nigam has chipped in with nine wickets, though he has been a bit expensive at 9.48 an over. Mukesh Kumar leaks runs too but finds ways to get breakthroughs. And Axar’s tidy overs continue to bring quiet control, especially on these kinds of pitches. Weather Conditions The Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium is usually known for its batting-friendly surface, but some of the tracks rolled out in IPL 2025 have behaved a little differently. Pitch number two, however, is sticking to the usual pattern—flat and full of runs. The home side will likely opt for that one again. If they do, bowlers could be in for another tough outing, with no real help off the pitch in terms of movement or grip. But if they go with one of the other tracks, things change. The ball tends to grip a bit more, making strokeplay tricky during the middle overs.  Weather-wise, it’ll be warm and sticky in Hyderabad, but there’s no rain on the radar, so play should carry on without delays. SRH vs DC Pitch Report If this game ends up on pitch number two, expect fireworks. Both sides will likely push for scores north of 220. This track has already popped up twice this season—first, Sunrisers Hyderabad smashed 286-6 batting first and won by 44 runs. The second time, they pulled off a chase of 246 with 9 balls still in hand. The problem for SRH is when conditions slow down. Their batting unit tends to fall apart on those kinds of surfaces—they’re just not built for it. Both teams will be looking to set a 220+ target. Toss: To Bowl Four of the five games played at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in IPL 2025 have been won by the chasing side clearly indicating that fielding first is the better option here.

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

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Punjab Kings vs Lucknow Super Giants​𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : May 04, Sunday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:30 PM IST​​𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 :​ Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium, Dharamshala, India​𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Indian Premier League, 2025 Lucknow Super Giants’ challenge to strike form for a playoff berth Punjab Kings 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. PBKS vs LSG Match Prediction & Analysis The competition has hit the roof in the Indian Premier League 2025, and the outcome of the next few games will decide the qualifiers for the playoffs. The Punjab Kings will look to take a step closer to the playoffs as they take on the Lucknow Super Giants in the 54th game. The Punjab Kings defeated the Chennai Super Kings in the last game. The Lucknow Super Giants will be under pressure after losing against the Mumbai Indians in their last match.   The Lucknow Super Giants have struggled with their consistency. They have lost the last three out of four games and seem to have lost steam at the most crucial time this season. The Punjab Kings have their batsmen in good form and shall look to build on that advantage. It is a must-win game for the Super Giants to keep hopes alive for the next round, and it will be interesting to see if they match up to the challenge. TEAMS PREVIEW Punjab Kings Preview Shreyas Iyer will be confident heading into this game. The side defeated the Chennai Super Kings in the last game by 4 wickets. The batting lineup has done well in the last few games, and the side will look to bank on its strengths. Iyer would like the players to take inspiration from their earlier win against the Super Giants and seal a berth for themselves in the playoffs.   Prabhsimran Singh and Priyansh Arya have been a formidable opening pair this season, and the team expects them to deliver an electrifying start. Shreyas Iyer played a match-winning knock in the last game and shall look to add runs in the middle order with Nehal Wadhera and Shashank Singh. The side will also like quick runs in the lower middle order from Josh Inglis, Suryansh Shedge, and Marco Jansen.   On the bowling front, the team expects early strikes from Arshdeep Singh and Marco Jansen. Azmatullah Omarzai leaked runs in the last game, and he will look to avoid those mistakes and keep the scoring under check in the middle overs with Harpreet Brar. Yuzvendra Chahal has bowled match-winning spells and will look to deliver a strong show along with Suryansh Shedge. Lucknow Super Giants Preview Rishabh Pant’s team finds itself in a spot of bother. They went down against the Mumbai Indians by 54 runs in the last game. The side has dropped to the sixth position on the points table and needs a win to keep hopes alive. They suffered a big loss against the Punjab Kings earlier this season. Pant struggles with his form and must lead from the front in this must-win game.   The team needs a strong start from Aiden Markram and Mitchell Marsh, as early wickets have hurt them this season. Nicholas Pooran is the key player at No. 3 and must build partnerships with Rishab Pant and Ayush Badoni. David Miller is one of the best finishers in this format, and he will look to add quick runs in the lower middle order with Abdul Samad and Ravi Bishnoi.   The bowlers have struggled this season, and the team needs a good spell with the new ball from Manank Yadav and Prince Yadav. Ravi Bishnoi is the star bowler in the team, and he will look to contain the batters in the middle overs with Digvesh Singh Rathi. The team expects good spells in the supporting role from Avesh Khan and Markram. Weather Conditions There will be clear skies over Dharamshala, and we will see excellent batting conditions. There is little margin of error for the bowlers on this track as batsmen can play their strokes freely. The side batting first will be happy with 180 runs on the board, with the average first-innings score being 157 runs. PBKS vs LSG Pitch Report HPCA Stadium, Dharamsala, does offer something for the fast bowlers. The ball moves here, and it can create doubts among the batsmen. However, stroke players have done well due to the smaller size of the ground. Spinners must bowl tight lines, as the ball doesn’t turn here as much on other tracks in the country. Toss: To Bat The side batting first has an advantage on this track. The team that batted first won five times in the last six games. The ball moves late in the evening, making run chases difficult. The side winning the toss wouldn’t hesitate to bat first on this surface.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Chennai Super Kings, IPLT20, Today Match Prediction

Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Chennai Super Kings, IPLT20, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Chennai Super Kings​​𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : May 03, Saturday𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 07:50 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 :​ M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru, India​𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Indian Premier League 2025 Can CSK settle scores with RCB? Royal Challengers Bengaluru 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. RCB vs CSK Match Prediction & Analysis RCB are on a roll this season. They’ve been exceptional under the new captain, and their star batsman, Virat Kohli, has also found his mojo this year. With Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Josh Hazlewood, and Krunal Pandya in the bowling attack, RCB have done away with all their bowling woes from previous seasons. CSK, on the other hand, are having a season to forget. MS Dhoni hasn’t flourished and delivered as expected of him in the finisher’s role. The franchise didn’t make the right decisions in the auction either. The squad strength isn’t that great, and even with MSD at the helm of affairs, the 5-time champions continue to struggle this year. There have been very poor batting performances from the men in yellow. RCB’s bowling attack would be too strong for the CSK batters, and we reckon Rajat Patidar and co. will get to their second home win of the season in this match. TEAMS PREVIEW Royal Challengers Bengaluru Preview It has taken RCB some time to get their combinations right. Even with a star-studded side in the past, they would fail to deliver consistently. When they made it to the playoffs, they would collapse in the knockout games. The major issue with this team was the lack of reliable Indian players in the side and over-reliance on overseas stars. Rajat Patidar has led RCB from the front and has found new match-winners. RCB are no longer dependent on Kohli. Devdutt Padikkal, back in RCB colors, has been in fine touch, and we expect him to deliver big at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. Rajat Patidar comes in at number 4 and never lets the momentum fade away. His ability to strike the ball from the get-go makes him a special player. The batting lineup goes deep with Krunal Pandya, Tim David, and Jitesh Sharma in the lower middle order. Jitesh Sharma is another great find and has the confidence to be a finisher. He’s a reliable batter and will be one to watch out for in this match. RCB will be delighted with their bowling strength this year. Chennai Super Kings Preview The Chennai Super Kings are having one of their worst IPL seasons ever. It is not just the number of matches they’ve lost, but the way they’ve played so far. They have lacked the winning spirit and looked stuck in the old ways of playing T20 cricket. There are structural issues as far as the squad strength is concerned. And then there is the way CSK players go about their business on the field. The bowling attack isn’t impressive at all. Mathisha Patheerana, who was a match-winner for CSK in previous seasons, has been out of form for quite some time. And that has hurt CSK a lot this year. Khaleel Ahmed, who’s played 67 IPL matches, hasn’t really made a big impact this season. He’s had a few good outings, but overall, he’s not threatened the opposition as much. Spinners R Ashwin and R Jadeja are the senior pros in this side. Noor Ahmed was impressive in the early games, but the spin-bowling attack also faltered as the season progressed. At the moment, there aren’t many reliable or in-form bowlers in the side. Khaleel Ahmed will be a key player, and we expect him to deliver breakthroughs in this game. The batting lineup is deep and features some quality batters. But the approach hasn’t been right and that’s what’s keeping CSK from delivering impactful performances. Weather Conditions Light rain is expected in Bengaluru with a high of 24 degrees Celsius around the match time. We can expect a few overs to be reduced if the game continues after rain stops. However, it looks unlikely that we would have a toss given the weather forecast. RCB vs CSK Pitch Report The pitch at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium is a batting paradise. It will be quite tricky for the bowlers to contain the flow of runs. Expect pacers to deliver slower deliveries from the back of the wrist to pick wickets on this pitch. The average 1st innings score in the last 4 matches here is 158 runs. However, a match-winning total would be something over 200 runs at this venue. Toss: To Bowl Teams bowling first have won 3 of the 4 IPL matches at this venue so far. The ground is a delight for teams batting second, and we’ve witnessed many high-scoring thrillers where teams have chased down big totals over the years.

Gujarat Titans vs Sunrisers Hyderabad, IPLT20, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Gujarat Titans vs Sunrisers Hyderabad​ 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : May 02, Friday 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:30 PM IST 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 :​ Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Indian Premier League 2025 In their previous meeting in IPL 2025, Gujarat Titans crushed Sunrisers Hyderabad by 7 wickets at Uppal. In fact, Gujarat have been undefeated against SRH over the last four encounters.  Gujarat Titans 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. GT vs SRH Match Prediction & Analysis Gujarat Titans (GT) face Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in Match 51 of IPL 2025 this Wednesday in Ahmedabad. With six wins from nine matches, Gujarat are sitting in third and have looked steady so far. Hyderabad, in contrast, have found it tough—just three wins in nine and not much consistency to speak of. GT already took one over SRH earlier in the tournament, and based on form, they’ll head into this one with the edge. TEAMS PREVIEW Gujarat Titans Preview Gujarat Titans weren’t expected to make a deep run, but they’ve surprised everyone with six wins from nine games, placing them third on the table. Their last outing didn’t go to plan, thanks to a stunning hundred from 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi, but there’s no reason for them to hit the panic button just yet. At the top, Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill, and Jos Buttler have kept things steady. Sudharsan, in particular, is having an outrageous season—456 runs in nine games, averaging 50.66, and scoring at 150. Gill isn’t far behind either. With 389 runs in nine innings at 156.22, and a solid 84 off 50 in the last match against Rajasthan, he’s starting to look dangerous again. Rutherford has been quietly effective in the middle with 201 runs across seven innings at 40.20, while Tewatia has chipped in with his usual late-over cameos. The bowling unit’s done its part too. Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna have picked up 29 wickets together, while Sai Kishore has added 12 more and kept things under control with an economy of 8.53. Siraj has been effective early, and Kishore has kept it tidy through the middle overs. Rashid Khan is slowly getting back to his best, finishing with 1-25 and 2-24 in his last two matches. If the conditions hold, this attack could come into play once again Sunrisers Hyderabad Preview Sunrisers Hyderabad haven’t had much go their way—just three wins from nine has them stuck in ninth place. When they’ve won, it’s mostly been because the batters went hard and connected. But when the top order gets knocked over early, the rest usually can’t steady things. That’s what they’ll want to avoid against GT, against whom they’ve already lost a match at home. For that to happen, their top-order simply must click. If Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head click at the top like they have in a couple of games, SRH can set up a strong total. Heinrich Klaasen, Ishan Kishan, and Nitish Kumar come in after that, and while none of them have put up consistent big scores yet, all three have shown signs of finding their touch in the last few games. There’s a chance one—or more—steps up this time. Aniket Verma has been one of the rare positives in a tough season. He’s finished innings strongly and is striking at 161, which gives them late momentum when needed. Bowling has been a weak spot. Mohammed Shami and Pat Cummins haven’t been reliable, though they did find some rhythm in the last outing against CSK. Harshal Patel has been more dependable—mixing up his pace well and taking wickets through the middle. He’s now their top wicket-taker, coming off a sharp 4 for 28 against CSK.  Weather Conditions The pitch at Narendra Modi Stadium has been great for T20 cricket – it’s good for batting but has something in it for pacers and slower bowlers too. Batting tends to get tougher in the second innings as the wickets starts to become slower. The weather in Ahmedabad will be hot and dry with no forecast of rain. GT vs SRH Pitch Report The average first innings score at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, is 173. The highest total posted here is Punjab Kings’ massive 243-5 in IPL 2025 against Gujarat Titans. With pitches becoming a tad slower here over the last week or so, expect both teams to target a first innings score of around 190-200 runs. Toss: To Bat Three of the four games played at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, in IPL 2025 have been won by the team batting first. This record is likely to push both teams to bat first in this game.

Rajasthan Royals vs Mumbai Indians, IPLT20, Today Match Prediction

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Rajasthan Royals vs Mumbai Indians 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : May 01, Thursday 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:30 PM IST𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 :​ Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Indian Premier League 2025 Rajasthan Royals’ playoff hopes are hanging by a thread, and a defeat in this match will pretty much eliminate them from the competition.  Rajasthan Royals 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. RR vs MI Match Prediction & Analysis Match 50 of IPL 2025 brings Rajasthan Royals (RR) up against Mumbai Indians (MI) this Thursday in Jaipur. RR’s season hasn’t gone to plan—they’ve managed just three wins from ten games and dropped the other seven. That said, they’ll take some momentum into this clash after thrashing Gujarat Titans in their last outing. Mumbai, on the other hand, are flying high, sitting second on the table thanks to five straight victories. With RR on their turf and coming off a much-needed win, they’ll back themselves to give MI a real fight. TEAMS PREVIEW Rajasthan Royals Preview After losing five straight games and slipping to ninth, Rajasthan Royals came out of nowhere to thump Gujarat Titans, chasing 210 in just 15.5 overs. The turnaround was powered by 14-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi, who smashed a 35-ball century — the second fastest in IPL history. His opening partner, Yashasvi Jaiswal, stayed unbeaten on 70 off 40, helping seal the win in style. This fresh opening combo has brought a bit of life back to Rajasthan’s campaign. With 426 runs under his belt this season, Jaiswal has been the only steady hand besides the rising star Suryavanshi. The rest of the lineup hasn’t stepped up, though. Riyan Parag and Dhruv Jurel have had time in the middle but haven’t made it count consistently. Shubham Dubey and Nitish Rana have been off the mark consistently, and Shimron Hetmyer, once expected to finish games, has fallen flat — 187 runs in nine games just doesn’t cut it. With the ball, it’s mostly been Jofra Archer doing the heavy lifting — 10 wickets at 9.57 economy — but he’s had little help. Tushar Deshpande and Sandeep Sharma have been expensive, and while Wanindu Hasaranga and Maheesh Theekshana have picked up 19 wickets between them, they’ve leaked runs at the wrong times, which has hurt Rajasthan more than once. Mumbai Indians Preview Mumbai Indians had a rough start to the season, but they’ve flipped the script in style. Five straight wins have shot them up to second place, with 12 points from 10 matches. Their latest win was a thumping 54-run victory over Lucknow Super Giants at home, where they racked up 215-7. The batting is coming together nicely. Ryan Rickelton, Will Jacks, and Rohit Sharma have been a bit hit-or-miss, but they’ve done enough up top to get things going. Rohit’s timing looks sharp again—he scored two 70s last week before missing out in the last game. Still, his return to form is a big plus with the playoffs approaching. The real impact, though, is coming from the middle order. Suryakumar Yadav is tearing it up—427 runs in nine games, averaging 61 and striking at 169.44. His last three innings? 68* off 37, 40* off 19, and 54 off 28. He’s playing with total confidence right now. Tilak Varma is bringing energy and clean striking to the middle as well. He’s been great at pushing the tempo. Hardik Pandya and Naman Dhir have chipped in with late cameos that can swing momentum in no time. Pandya’s contributing with the ball too—12 wickets and a 9.11 economy rate. Deepak Chahar has eight wickets under his belt, though he’s been expensive in his final overs. Weather Conditions The pitch at Sawai Mansingh Stadium provides reliable bounce with a firm base beneath its light grass layer. Batsmen will find true pace once they settle in after the initial overs. Spinners may struggle as dew sets in during the evening session. The ground dimensions favor big hits, with 65-meter straight boundaries and slightly longer 75-meter square boundaries. Expect hot, dry conditions in Jaipur, though the match won’t face any rain interruptions. The weather guarantees a complete game without delays. RR vs MI Pitch Report The average score batting first at Sawai Mansingh Stadium is 163. But the pitches here this season have usually been good for batting. The team batting first in this match will be eyeing a score of around 200+ to feel confident about their chances. Toss: To Bowl Batting second is usually the better option at Jaipur, with 39 of the 61 domestic T20s played here, including the last one, being won by the chasing side. Thus, both teams are likely to field first here.

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Chennai Super Kings vs Punjab Kings 𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : April 30, Wednesday 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 : 19:30 PM IST 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐔𝐄 :​ M. A. Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai, India 𝐓𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓 : Indian Premier League 2025 CSK’s big test to rewind the magic of the past Chennai Super Kings 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. CSK vs PBKS Match Prediction & Analysis It is the deciding stage in the Indian Premier League 2025, where the result of the next few games will decide the playoff berths. The Chennai Super Kings have their last shot at the playoffs as they take on the Punjab Kings in the 49th match. The Super Kings went down against the Sunrisers Hyderabad in the last game. The Punjab Kings shared points with the Kolkata Knight Riders after rain washed away play.  The Chennai Super Kings have struggled with their form this season. They have lost seven out of nine games. The batting lineup has looked rusty, and the bowling attack hasn’t troubled the opponents. The Punjab Kings are in good form and have won the last four out of five games against the Super Kings. It remains to be seen if the Super Kings can win here and keep their hopes alive. TEAMS PREVIEW Chennai Super Kings Preview MS Dhoni’s team went down by 5 wickets against the Sunrisers Hyderabad in the last game. It is becoming one of their worst seasons, with the team sitting at the bottom of the points. They still have a technical chance of reaching the playoffs and need a big win in this game. Dhoni will expect a strong show from his players as the Punjab Kings are in good form this season.  The top order has been a pain for the team this season. Shaik Rasheed and Ayush Mhatre must deliver a good start in this game and lay a strong platform. The team expects runs in the middle order, and Sam Curran, Ravindra Jadeja, and Dewald Brevis will look to do well. Shivam Dube has batted well in the lower middle order and shall look to add quick runs with Deepak Hooda and Dhoni.  The bowling attack has struggled this season. Khaleel Ahmed and Anshul Kamboj will look to put up a good show with the new ball, as the Punjab Kings have an explosive opening pair. The team needs tight spells from Noor Ahmed and Ravindra Jadeja in the middle overs. Sam Curran and Matheesha Pathirana must do well in the supporting role and avoid leaking runs like the earlier game. Punjab Kings Preview Shreyas Iyer and his team would have been upset to have shared the points with the Kolkata Knight Riders in the last game. They had a big score on the board, but rain played spoilsport in the second half. Iyer would like to exploit CSK’s lack of form and win this game by a big margin to improve their position on the points table.  Prabhsimran Singh and Priyansh Arya put up a 120-run stand in the last game, and the team expects a strong start from this pair. Shreyas Iyer is batting well in the middle order, and he will look to add runs with Josh Inglis and Nehal Wadhera. Glenn Maxwell, Shashank Singh, and Marco Jansen add firepower to the batting lineup, making it strong.  The bowling attack will look to exploit the poor form of CSK batters. Arshdeep Singh and Azmatullah Omarzai will look to get the early breakthroughs in this game. Marco Jansen and Yuzvendra Chahal are in good form, and the team expects them to do well. Harpreet Brar and Maxwell add bowling options for the team.  Weather Conditions It will be a hot and humid evening in Chennai with clear skies. The wicket will be challenging to bat on as the ball stops on the batsmen. We have seen an average first innings score of less than 160 runs, and the team batting first will be happy to have 160 on the board. CSK vs PBKS Pitch Report MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai, balances it out between the bat and the ball in T20 cricket. Batsmen have to spend their time at the crease to score runs here. Fast bowlers who hit the deck hard have done well on this surface. Spinners enjoy the slowness on the track as this allows them to experiment with their variations. Toss: To Bowl The wicket has slowed down since the start of the tournament. It is a difficult wicket to set up a big total as batsmen struggle to time the ball. The team that chased the score in the last two games easily won. The side winning the toss won’t hesitate to bowl first on this wicket.

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.

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

𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇 : Kolkata Knight Riders vs Punjab Kings​​𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 : 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.

Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Mumbai Indians, IPLT20, Today Match Prediction

Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Mumbai Indians, IPLT20, Today Match Prediction

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.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi will continue to open with Yashaswi Jaiswal in his absence. 14-year-old Suryavanshi made a debut with a quickfire 34 off 20 balls, including three sixes, and shared an 85-run partnership with Yashasvi Jaiswal in the last game. Jaiswal will be the batter to watch out for.

Jurel has 191 runs with a strike rate of 154. Meanwhile, Dubey, in limited appearances, has shown promise as a finisher—his 34* off 11 balls against SRH being a highlight—yet he lacks the exposure and consistency to be a dependable threat just yet.
