Live: CSK Vs RR, Match 68, Mumbai | CRICTALKS | TOSS & PRE-MATCH | IPL LIVE 2022
Live: CSK Vs RR, Match 68, Mumbai | CRICTALKS | IPL LIVE 2022 | Chennai Super Kings Vs Rajasthan Royals For queries: anatomizedtube@gmail.com PREVIEW: Rajasthan Royals have their fate in their own hands; after a couple of forgettable seasons, the Royals find themselves not just in the top four, but with a golden chance to seal a spot in the top two. All that stands between them and that Qualifier 1 against Gujarat Titans are the Chennai Super Kings, who have nothing to lose. Defending champions CSK have been a shadow of their title-winning selves - picking up just 4 wins in 13 games. Neither their bowling, nor batting, has come together to pose a threat to the opposition, and it has been a forgettable season for more reasons than one. They did a volte face on captaincy, eliciting rumours of a rift between the management and Ravindra Jadeja after he exited the bubble citing an injury. Ambati Rayudu attracted unnecessary attention to him, and by extension the CSK camp, by tweeting of his retirement and retracting it soon. As knocked-out teams are already looking ahead, CSK have all to play for in their last game, and will want to end the otherwise disappointing season with a win and delve into the depths of their shortcomings this season post that. For RR, the second spot is only theirs to lose. They are in a good position to defenestrate Lucknow Super Giants from that second spot. In the bid for that, they've already received a boost in the form of the return of their swashbuckling finisher - Shimron Hetmyer. The West Indian has been instrumental in RR's strong finishes this season and it's a no-brainer for him to slot right in. One of the primary reasons RR find themselves in the position they are in is the pair of Jos Buttler and Yuzvendra Chahal - who've clicked and delivered from the start. However, in the latter-half of the season, both have undersupplied. A win against CSK will take Sanju Samson's side to 18 points, and ahead of LSG whose NRR is inferior to RR's. That said, even if they fall short against CSK, they need to ensure they keep the margin of defeat low, so that their already strong NRR can take care of the rest. Rajasthan Royals: Buttler has been dismissed by Bravo three times, averaging just 19 against the veteran bowler. However, against CSK, Buttler has scored 265 runs in 6 innings, striking close to 150 and averaging 66.25. RR will hope Buttler can add to that tally in a crucial game for their campaign and take some momentum into the playoffs. Buttler, who had scored 491 runs in the first 7 games, has scored just 136 in the last six games. Also, Samson up at No.3 works better for the balance of the side with Devdutt Padikkal shining in the middle order. Chennai Super Kings: In their last game against GT, CSK did not hit a single boundary in the last five overs of their innings. They left out Rayudu and Uthappa in the previous fixture, and are likely to bring back the experienced duo for the final game of the season. Uthappa though, has been dismissed 7 times by Ashwin, who has also a strong record against Rayudu. They may have to opt for an extra batter and drop a seamer on a ground that favours spinners.
Live: RCB Vs GT, Match 67, Mumbai | CRICTALKS | TOSS & PRE-MATCH | IPL LIVE 2022
Live: RCB Vs GT, Match 67, Mumbai | CRICTALKS | IPL LIVE 2022 | Royal Challengers Bangalore Vs Gujarat Titans For queries: anatomizedtube@gmail.com PREVIEW: It is said that cricket is a game of inches. For those teams sweating it out to rubber-stump a place in the IPL 2022 playoffs, it could also feel like a game of decimal points (NRR). With 14 points to their name, Royal Challengers Bangalore will be aiming to defeat table-toppers Gujarat Titans in their final game of the league phase to give themselves the best chance of progressing to the next phase. But if they lose, it would be an exit door for the franchise as they have a negative NRR of -.323. Even if RCB emerge victorious, they would find themselves on the edge of a precipice as Delhi Capitals are also currently on 14 points and have a positive NRR. Just like some of the past seasons, RCB have been hit by an inconsistency bug - some promise mixed with red flags. However, to the think tank's credit, they have tried to keep a settled combination, making only six changes so far. They go into the all-important match on the back of a loss against Punjab Kings. On a positive note, Wanindu Hasaranga has been a shining light for RCB, having bagged 23 wickets so far. The other silver lining is Rajat Patidar making the number three spot his own with useful contributions. Unlike their opponent, GT are flying high, having already secured a berth in Qualifier 1. A couple of losses didn't go according to the script, but GT got their campaign back on track with victories over Chennai Super Kings and Lucknow Super Giants. Wriddhiman Saha has provided them with the booster in the Powerplay over the last few games while Shubman Gill has compiled over 400 runs this season. As the tournament has progressed, Rashid Khan has taken his game to a different zone, having picked up seven wickets in his last three matches. A few tired decks have played a part in that. In the pace department, Mohammed Shami will be polishing his swing and seam bowling skills to make incisions up front. One of the worry lines for the side is the form of their skipper Hardik Pandya, who has compiled only 56 runs in his last six matches. The last game played at the Wankhede stadium - SRH versus MI - was a high-scoring match. The decks at the Wankhede have tended to offer spongy bounce through the course of the tournament. Royal Challengers Bangalore: Hasaranga has snared the most wickets in the middle phase in this IPL. And he could again come into play in tomorrow's game, especially in the backdrop of GT's batters slotting in at number 3 and 4 struggling to notch up scores of substance. Hazlewood versus Saha will be another interesting matchup. The 'keeper-batter would hope to disrupt Hazlewood's unremitting discipline with lofts and across the line shots. Gujarat Titans: On the other hand, GT's seamers have been excellent with the new ball, exemplified by them taking 25 wickets in the PowerPlay this season. Shami alone has scalped 11 wickets in that period. Rashid has dislodged Karthik three times and given away only 30 runs off 28 balls. In the previous fixture between these two sides, one over of Rashid was held back and the champion spinner removed Karthik with the googly. Shami versus Kohli would be another intriguing matchup, with the seamer having dismissed the RCB mainstay five times in IPL. A couple of those dismissals have come in the end overs, with Kohli looking to up the ante.
Live: KKR Vs LSG, Match 66, Mumbai | CRICTALKS | TOSS & PRE-MATCH | IPL LIVE 2022
Live: KKR Vs LSG, Match 66, Mumbai | CRICTALKS | IPL LIVE 2022 | Mumbai Indians Vs Sunrisers Hyderabad For queries: anatomizedtube@gmail.com PREVIEW: It's been a busy few days for the Lucknow Super Giants, and not in a good way. Sitting at the top of the points table only last week, they have now been pushed to the third spot and, quite frustratingly, haven't yet managed to seal a playoff spot. The back to back defeats in their last couple of games - something LSG have endured for the first time this season - puts them on shaky ground ahead of their final league game against the Kolkata Knight Riders, and the best thing they can do is to go on and win it. That would also make a strong case for a top-two finish although Rajasthan Royals, who play their final league match a couple of days later, will have the added advantage of knowing what exactly to do to finish ahead. KKR, in contrast, sit in diametrically opposite quarters. Their moribund season has been sparked to life with back to back wins but a win over LSG wouldn't be enough for them. All they can do is make sure it's a big one and get their NRR (0.160) ahead of Delhi Capitals (0.255). That would make DC's game against Mumbai Indians a must-win game for them. For captains to win the toss and bat first. With the pitches tiring out, the case is simple. KKR discovered it in their last couple of games, by accident or by design. Should LSG win the toss, the case to bat first for them is even more straightforward. They have the best record batting first this season and the worst record chasing amongst all teams barring MI and CSK. In fact, their last four defeats have come while chasing. Kolkata Knight Riders: In their last game, fit-again Umesh Yadav came into the side while Sam Billings took the gloves from Sheldon Jackson, filling in the fourth overseas spot vacated by home-bound Pat Cummins. That combination clicked together but will be forced to change with a Grade-III hamstring injury to Ajinkya Rahane. It could mean a return for Baba Indrajith at the top of the order, or Jackson could be included as an opener in a left-field move. Lucknow Super Giants: There's pressure on LSG's middle order to deliver. Rahul (469), Quinton de Kock (362) and Deepak Hooda (406) have scored 61% of the total runs for LSG. There is a case for bringing in Manish Pandey and Evin Lewis in place of Ayush Badoni and Marcus Stoinis respectively.
Live: PBKS Vs DC, Match 64, Mumbai | CRICTALKS | TOSS & PRE-MATCH | IPL LIVE 2022
Live: PBKS Vs DC, Match 64, Mumbai | CRICTALKS | IPL LIVE 2022 | Punjab Kings Vs Delhi Capitals For queries: anatomizedtube@gmail.com PREVIEW: The similarities between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals stretch beyond an identical 12 points in as many games. Neither of them have won two games on the bounce in IPL 2022 pointing to familiar inconsistency. Come Monday, at the fag end of the season, one of the two will set that dubious record straight at the DY Patil Stadium. Both Punjab and Delhi are coming into the contest on the back of resounding wins - PBKS dented Bangalore and their playoffs hopes, while Delhi stalled Rajasthan Royals march into top-two with an eight-wicket statement win. What Punjab's big win over RCB did though was not only boost their NRR, but also offer Delhi a new lease of life by giving them back the control of their fate in the competition. Even though they're outside of top-four currently with two games in hand each including this, theoretically both are in with a chance to make it to the playoffs with just one more 'W'. After a bunch of seasons of struggle, fast-evolving calculations and prayers at the business end of the tournament, this feeling might be alien to Punjab, and frankly a luxury both teams would rather not want to fall back upon. Monday's clash is also the one between two of the most aggressive batting line-ups of this season. Delhi and Punjab are the top-two sides respectively with the highest Powerplay run-rate this season. DC also have the best boundary percentage (20.6) while Punjab are third on that list (19.1). Approximately seven per cent of both the teams' runs have come in sixes. This is largely due to the red-hot form of two ex-SRH openers - David Warner and Shikhar Dhawan - now leading the run-charts for their respective new teams. Punjab showed faith in a misfiring Jonny Bairstow - incidentally another SRH import - and the Englishman has repaid the faith with twin fifties since Mayank Agarwal selflessly relinquished the opener's slot for him. The lack of runs from their captain's bat though hasn't quite pinched Punjab as much, courtesy the firepower they pack in their top-five. Liam Livingstone has proven to be the best 11.5 Cr Punjab spent at the auction table - recording the second-best strike rate of 180.75 in IPL 2022 and hitting the third-highest number of sixes (29), only behind Jos Buttler (37) and Andre Russell (32). Punjab Kings: With 1005 runs in 22 innings - 12 of which were half-century knocks - Warner is the leading run-scorer against Punjab in the IPL. To curb any chances of early fireworks from his bat, Punjab will undoubtedly let Rabada have a go at him, having already dismissed the Australian five times in T20 cricket. Delhi's last five opening partnerships anyway read: 0, 5, 0, 16 and 0 with the team struggling to find an able replacement for typhoid-struck Prithvi Shaw. Delhi Capitals: Likewise, Delhi would also want to see the back of Punjab's top-scorer this season, Dhawan, early. To that effect, they might hand an over or two with the new ball to Kuldeep, who has dismissed the southpaw twice. Dhawan averages only 17 against the left-arm spinner, who is currently Delhi's top wicket-taker this season (18).
Live: CSK Vs GT, Match 62, Mumbai | CRICTALKS | TOSS & PRE-MATCH | IPL LIVE 2022
Live: CSK Vs GT, Match 62, Mumbai | CRICTALKS | IPL LIVE 2022 | Chennai Super Kings Vs Gujarat Titans For queries: anatomizedtube@gmail.com PREVIEW: Such has been Gujarat Titans' dominance in the ongoing league stage of the IPL, that early in May Hardik Pandya took a punt at the toss against PBKS to see how his team reacts in an unfavourable situation. He'd later admit that the decision to bat first came with the foresight that should such a situation arise in the later stages, his team needs to be ready for it. That decision came after four straight victories, three of which were night games in which he'd won the toss and chosen to field. The consistent run of results for first-timers made room for Hardik to afford such a ballsy call, and not just once. He did it again in his team's last fixture against LSG which ended with a statement victory by 62 runs. But despite their grip on the top spot, the kind of results they've got in their nine wins have been a sort of double-edged sword - 12 needed of 2 balls? Won. 22 off 6? Won. 19 off 6? Won. Pocketing results that could've truly gone either way till the end is a testament to their nerves of steel, but luck, which they've also had this season, tends to be an unpredictable ally. Yet, heading into their penultimate fixture, they look primed to take the two points on Sunday afternoon to earn their place in the first qualifier. Chennai Super Kings are at the other end of the performance spectrum, and currently have a 2020-like vibe about them - with small positives the only take away this season. What they could perhaps also aim to take home is the 2020-sort of a finish, a season that they capped off with successive wins to avoid the ignominious wooden spoon. Pace, bounce and movement? All three were spotted - in abundance - in the last game at the venue where CSK were bundled out for 97 and MI made heavy weather of it in chase, losing five wickets in the process. Gujarat Titans - one of the best bowling sides this season - will be licking their lips at the prospect of similar conditions. aming a high-flying Saha in the PowerPlay will be key for CSK. Saha has smashed 154 runs in 7 innings in the first six overs at a strike rate of 133.91, and has only been dismissed twice in that phase. Enter Dwayne Bravo, who has a good record against the opener - conceding just 36 runs in as many deliveries and dismissing him thrice before. Miller, the protagonist of the three-wicket win when these two sides met earlier in the season, has been dismissed four times before by the West Indian. Rahul Tewatia too has not had great success against Bravo, falling twice in 19 balls and managing just 25 runs. One of their finds of the season - Yash Dayal - could set the tone early against CSK. Their opener Ruturaj Gaikwad, who smashed 73 off 48 in the reverse fixture, has a poor record against left-arm pacer in the PowerPlay - getting out to them eight times in 15 innings and scoring just 91 from 95 balls.
Live: KKR Vs SRH, Match 61, Pune | CRICTALKS | TOSS & PRE-MATCH | IPL LIVE 2022
Live: KKR Vs SRH, Match 61, Pune | CRICTALKS | IPL LIVE 2022 | Kolkata Knight Riders Vs Sunrisers Hyderabad For queries: anatomizedtube@gmail.com PREVIEW: When Kolkata Knight Riders met SunRisers Hyderabad about a month ago, it was in the middle of a spell of five successive defeats. Shreyas Iyer felt "drained" after the game and put the loss down to a "bad day with the ball". Little did he know that many bad days were still to come, the likes of which unraveled his team's strong start to the season This time around though, it's SRH who are in somewhat similar circumstances. Should KKR hand them a fifth consecutive defeat on Saturday (May 14), it will be a nice little payback. But there's also a lot riding on the result of this match. Both teams seem to have a very slim chance of qualifying for the Playoffs, given their low tally of 10 points and their negative Net Run Rates. Delhi Capitals, with an NRR of +0.210 on the other hand, appear much better placed. But for both KKR and SRH, a victory isn't going to hurt whatever's left of their campaign. KKR, especially, would see it as a good opportunity to build on their big win over Mumbai Indians in the last match, although they will have their work cut out without Pat Cummins who's flown back home with a minor hip issue. There's also the case of Brendon McCullum taking up the England coaching offer in the middle of KKR's campaign, meaning there's already a sense of flux in the camp and how the team responds to the news will be fascinating to watch. As will be to witness if SRH are able to turn their season around. A tricky call at the toss; nine of the 12 games in Pune have been won by teams batting first but teams are still reluctant to defend ttals. The venue is also a happy hunting ground for KKR who have won seven of their eight games here. SRH, in contrast, have only won once in their five matches here. Kolkata Knight Riders: Shreyas Iyer's side has been guilty of getting the team combinations wrong far too often this season, and it was only in the last game that they perhaps played their best eleven. Rahul Tripathi, in his innings of 71 off 37, had answers for everything his previous team threw at him. So, expect KKR to come up with a fresh set of plans this time. It could include bowling more of Andre Russell at him, whom he faced for only three deliveries in the earlier encounter before losing his wicket on the fourth. Russell will also come in handy against Nicholas Pooran, another middle-order batter whom he's gotten out four times previously. SunRisers Hyderabad: The injury-absence of Washinton Sundar and T Natarajan have, without a doubt, had an effect on the team's fortunes, as has Kane Williamson's form or lack thereof. But both the bowlers are expected to be fit for the KKR game, which will be a massive boost to the side. KKR spinners have the best economy out of all teams this season and it's possible that the likes of Sunil Narine and Varun Chakaravarthy take on SRH early in the game. As it is, SRH have hit the least number of boundaries in the PowerPlay and will need to get quicker off the blocks. In that sense, a lot will rest on their openers Abhishek Sharma and Williamson.
