Pakistan vs New Zealand at a Glance

  • Hailstorm forced the cancellation of the fourth Twenty20 International match between Pakistan and New Zealand.
  • At the preceding game, which was played at Pakistan at Rawalpindi, Mark Chapman and Chad Bowes both struck half-centuries.
  • Imad Wasim, a Pakistani spinner, had a strong bowling performance in the previous game.

Pakistan vs New Zealand Team Preview

Pakistan

There have been many Pakistani players who have shown promise thus far in this series, but consistency has been a significant need to address before the World Cup starts later this year. The Asian powerhouses haven’t been particularly innovative, not even in this T20I series. If they defeat the Kiwis in Rawalpindi, they will be within striking distance of taking the five-game series. 

Given that Zaman Khan let up nearly 30 runs in his three overs during the fourth T20I, Babar Azam could play to his strengths and start Ihsanullah in the series decider.

New Zealand

There were several inexperienced players for New Zealand going into this series. Before torrential rain pounded the ground during the fourth T20I, this squad displayed a respectable effort with the bat. Tom Latham will be conscious of his team’s need for discipline, though, if they are to recover from a deficit and equalize.

James Neesham was chosen to be replaced by Henry Shipley, therefore it is likely that the former pacer will be given the opportunity to play in the series finale by being a member of the starting XI.

On this track, both captains will try to bowl first in an effort to keep the opposition’s score as low as possible. Additionally, batting in the second innings may be simpler because rain may have altered the pitch.

For the game on Monday, bright sky and mild winds are anticipated.

The wicket set up for the encounter in Rawalpindi will provide the seamers with a nice bounce.

Lucknow Super Giants vs Gujarat Titans (Match 30) – Highlights

In the last over, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) needed 12 runs to win with seven wickets in hand. Two batsmen, KL Rahul, and Ayush Badoni were at the crease and Mohit Sharma was given the responsibility to defend the target. Rahul scored two runs from the first ball. He was caught by Jayant Yadav while playing a short ball in the next ball. The LSG captain got out scoring 68 runs off 61 balls with the help of 8 boundaries.

 

Marcus Stoinis was out on the next ball. He could not score any runs. Ayush (8) and Deepak Hooda (2) walked back to the pavilion as a result of two consecutive runouts off the next two balls. The Super Giant could not get a run from the last ball. As a result, Gujarat Titans (GT) clinched an incredible seven-run victory in the last-minute drama.

 

But this match was low scoring. Batting first, the Titans collected only 135 runs after losing 6 wickets in the allotted 20 overs.

Despite Hardik Pandya’s storm, GT was stuck with very few runs. Hardik scored 66 runs. LSG’s innings stopped at 128 runs in reply. However, they had a golden opportunity to win the game.

 

The Super Giants had a golden opportunity to crush the defending champions Titans at home. But in the end, the Super Giants batters could not do it. Skipper Rahul completed a personal half-century but could not accelerate the run rate later. The Indian batsman also broke a record of Virat Kohli on his way to an innings of 68 off 61 balls against the Titans.

 

Rahul has reached the milestone of 7000 runs in recognized T20 games. It took Rahul 197 innings to reach this milestone. Fastest among Indian batsmen in terms of innings. Earlier the record was held by Virat Kohli. He played 212 innings to reach the milestone of 7000 runs.

 

Earlier, the Titans won the toss and decided to bat first. In the current IPL, all teams are seen winning the toss and opting to chase. GT captain Hardik Pandya tried to be exceptional in this regard. His decision initially seemed wrong but eventually brought success to the Titan’s camp.

 

Batting first, GT lost the wicket of Shubman Gill at the very beginning. Shubman was caught by Ravi Bishnoi off Krunal Pandya before opening the account of runs after playing 2 balls. Wriddhiman Saha paired with Hardik to give the team a strong foundation. However, the Titans could not play a big innings because they could not increase the speed of scoring.

 

Wriddhiman missed out on a sure half-century. He scored 47 runs off 37 balls with the help of 6 boundaries and was caught by Deepak Hooda on the delivery of Krunal. Hardik completed his half-century. He scored 66 off 50 balls with 2 fours and 6 sixes and was caught by KL Rahul off Stoinis.

 

None of the others could score as much. Abhinav Manohar 3, Vijay Shankar 10, David Miller 6, and Rahul Tewatia scored unbeaten 2 runs. For GT, Krunal Pandya took 2 wickets for just 16 runs in 4 overs. Marcus Stoinis picked up 2 wickets giving 20 runs in 3 overs. Apart from this, Naveen-ul-Haq and Amit Mishra got 1 wicket each.

 

In response, the Super Giants got stopped at 127 runs for 7 wickets in 20 overs. They needed 12 runs to win in the last over. Mohit Sharma gave 4 runs in the last over and LSG lost 4 wickets, including two run outs. The Titans eventually left the field, winning the match by 7 runs.

 

Kyle Mayers scored 24 runs off 19 balls for LSG. He hit 2 fours and 1 six. Krunal played an innings of 23 runs off 23 balls with the help of 2 fours and 1 six. Mohit Sharma picked up 2 wickets conceding 17 runs in 3 overs and was adjudged the player of the match for LSG. Noor Ahmad grabbed 2 wickets by taking 18 runs in 4 overs. Rashid Khan took 1 wicket for 33 runs.

 

Lucknow Super Giants have climbed to the 2nd position in the points table with four wins and three losses in seven matches. On the other hand, Gujarat Titans are in the 4th position in the standings with four wins and two losses playing six matches.

Mumbai Indians vs Punjab Kings (Match 31) – Highlights

In the IPL’s 31st game, Mumbai Indians host Punjab Kings at home on Saturday, April 22. In that match, Punjab Kings set a lofty goal in the given 20 overs while batting first. After that, the target was not reached by Mumbai Indians as the allotted 20 overs came to an end. Sam Curran, the captain, won the award for man of the match at the same time for his outstanding batting.

 

Nobody from Punjab Kings could display such a superb performance. But the entire team played a simple inning. It is known as a whole-team effort. With that performance and in a high-scoring match Mumbai Indians lost by 13 runs against Punjab Kings.

 

When they batted first, Punjab Kings scored 214 runs. But Mumbai Indians responded by stopping at 201 after losing 6 wickets. The cricketers for the Mumbai Indians, however, performed better as individuals than as a team.

Sam Karan led Punjab in scoring with 55 runs. That one is the only half-century for Punjab. Suryakumar Yadav (57) and Cameron Green (67) of the Mumbai Indians, on the other hand, both struck half-centuries. The score of Rohit Sharma (44) was likewise very near to fifty.

 

Having won the toss, Rohit Sharma decided to put the Punjab Kings into bat first. Once, in 9.4 overs, Punjab lost 4 wickets for 83 runs. From that point on, they changed direction and scored a massive 214 runs for 8 wickets in the allowed 20 overs.

 

Sam Curran, the captain, earned 50 points. He was out after only 29 balls, having scored a team-high 55. Curran hit four sixes and five fours. Harpreet Singh scored 41 runs off 28 balls in an aggressive inning. He made 2 sixes and 4 fours. Jitesh Sharma scored 25 runs off 7 balls, including 4 sixes in the last over, to play a devastating performance.

 

In addition, Liam Livingstone added 10 runs from 12 balls, Prabhsimran Singh added 26 runs from 17 balls, Atharva Taide added 29 runs from 17 balls, and Mathew Short scored 11 runs from 10 balls.

For Mumbai, Piyush Chawla picked up 2 wickets for 15 runs. Cameron Green took 2 wickets for 41 runs. In 3 overs, Arjun Tendulkar took 1 wicket for 48 runs. In addition, Jason Behrendorff and Jofra Archer each claimed one wicket.

Mumbai fought back right away when it was time to bat. Even so, Rohit Sharma was forced to halt just before the finish line. Mumbai’s score after the allowed 20 overs was 201 for 6. A high-scoring encounter was won by Punjab Kings by a close margin of 13 runs.

 

Despite Suryakumar Yadav’s erratic fifty, the team lost. He hit seven fours and three sixes in his 57 off just 26 balls. A half-century was also scored by Cameron Green. With the help of 6 fours and 3 sixes, he finished the innings with 67 runs off of 43 balls. Rohit Sharma, the captain, falls short of a certain half-century. He was given the boot for 44 off of 27 balls. The hitman also swung for four fours and three sixes. Tim David scored 25 runs off 13 balls, with two sixes he remained undefeated.

 

For Punjab, Arshdeep Singh claimed 4 wickets for 29 runs. Liam Livingstone and Nathan Ellis each took one wicket.

Kolkata Knight Riders vs Chennai Super Kings at a Glance 

  • Inconsistent batting has plagued Kolkata.
  • The CSK spinners can be challenging for the host team.
  • Both of KKR’s home games this season were won by their lower order.

Kolkata Knight Riders vs Chennai Super Kings Team Preview

Kolkata Knight Riders

Although they did lose their first game of the season, Kolkata Knight Riders swiftly picked up the pace and won their following two games. The Nitish Rana-led club has already lost three straight games, losing momentum.

There is a good probability Nitish Rana may want Shardul Thakur to start again after Kulwant Khejroliya failed to secure his spot by handing up 20 runs in just 8 balls. Additionally, because he previously played for the side, the later all-rounder is well aware of CSK’s game plans. This match may also see KKR field seven bowlers.

Chennai Super Kings

Chennai Super Kings appear to be regaining their mojo after losing their first game of the 2023 season. They have won four of their previous five games. While their batting lineup has been outstanding since game 1, their bowling staff is also stepping up to help them become a formidable squad to compete for the trophy.

It is difficult to imagine MS Dhoni starting the game without all 4 of his overseas players after CSK’s most recent victory. While Matheesha Pathirana and Maheesh Theekshana, too, appeared to be improving with the ball in the previous game, Moeen Ali, who also offers a bowling option, is most likely to keep his spot. Tushar Deshpande might be replaced by Deepak Chahar, though, considering the type of the pitch.

Both captains will be looking for a chance to bat first in order to take advantage of the favorable batting conditions because this ground in Kolkata is one of the largest in India and has deep boundaries.  

With a high of 32 degrees Celsius, Kolkata will see sporadic thunderstorms. 

The pitch is favorable for batting and provides assistance to the spinners as the game goes on.

Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Rajasthan Royals Team Preview

Royal Challengers Bangalore

The leading run-scorer and wicket-taker in the competition are both from Royal Challengers Bangalore. We anticipate Royal Challengers Bangalore to win even against a good squad like the Rajasthan Royals.

The key question in this game will be if skipper Faf du Plessis is fit enough to bat and field. He only batted in the last game due to a rib ailment, with Virat Kohli taking up the captaincy. There are no other injury concerns among the squad members.

Rajasthan Royals

Rajasthan Royals were in a solid position until losing their last game to the Lucknow Super Giants. In this encounter, we anticipate Royal Challengers Bangalore to be an even more formidable opponent.

The Rajasthan Royals made one alteration ahead of their match against the Lucknow Super Giants on Wednesday. Australian leg spinner Adam Zampa was replaced by tall and experienced West Indian all-rounder Jason Holder.
