SRH vs KKR, Brabourne Stadium. Kolkata Knight Riders are yet to win a match here at Brabourne, and they lost all three games played here. In contrast, Sunrisers Hyderabad played only one and won that match. At least on paper, SRH has the upper hand. Rahane’s poor form continues, and he is likely to be […]

RR vs GT, DY Patil Stadium. Both the teams are virtually on the top of the points table. The only difference is the net run rate. Rajasthan Royals are playing like true royals of the game in the IPL 2022. Gujarat Titans are reflecting their team efforts on the points table. This match is going […]

MI vs PBKS, MCA Stadium. Mumbai Indians are probably one of the great T20 teams of all time. But this season of IPL 2022 hasn’t been in their favor. Four games lost in a row. This is not something new for MI, but they need to focus on winning the matches early in the tournament. […]

DC vs KKR, Brabourne Stadium. Delhi Capitals are facing middle-order batting woes. They have an excellent squad on paper but haven’t been able to perform accordingly. On the other hand, Kolkata Knight Riders are the table-toppers at the moment. Credit goes to the team efforts and excellent captaincy of Shreyas Iyer, and he will be […]

MI vs RCB, MCA Stadium. Unlucky Mumbai Indians are searching for their first win of the IPL 2022. In comparison, Royal Challengers Bangalore is having a good IPL season, and MI has lost all three games. Call it a piece of bad luck; MI has a lot of it. MI was in the same table […]

CSK vs SRH, DY Patil Stadium. Both Chennai Super Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad have struggled in their IPL 2022 campaign. SRH with their batting while CSK with their bowling.

RCB vs RR, Wankhede Stadium. Rajasthan Royals have been playing like champions in the IPL 2022. Be it bowling or bowling, and they have ticked all the boxes.

SRH vs LSG, DY Patil Stadium. Sunrisers Hyderabad continues their losing streak in the IPL. In the last 18 matches SRH played, they managed to win only 5 of them! That is shocking and obvious at the same time. For years, we have seen SRH depend only on a few players, specifically David Warner, Jonny […]

Chennai Super Kings lost their first two matches of the IPL, for the first time in the history of IPL! Call it a bit of bad luck or lack of quality bowling for CSK, it is the same as of now. The absence of Deepak Chahar is hurting the balance of CSK. Also, not using […]

Gujarat Titans vs Delhi Capitals, MCA Stadium. This is the first time when GT will play one of the regular IPL teams.

Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan Royals made their rivalry open in the last league match of the 2014 IPL season. When MI needed a boundary and Faulkner conceded a six to Aditya Tare. A historic run-chase in T20 cricket history. After that match in 2014, RR played MI 10 times and won 6 times. These two […]

This match will be the toughest test for Lucknow Super Giants, and this game will define the tone of LSG’s game. Lucknow has a relatively less experienced bowling department than CSK, and both teams have a good pack of batters and have good batting depth. But LSG suffers a lack of finisher batter in their […]

Australia vs Pakistan, Lahore. Even after a decent fightback from the batters, Pakistan couldn’t convert it to a win. It all went wrong with the failure of the middle order batting of Pakistan!

RCB vs KKR, DY Patil Stadium. RCB lost their last game vs PBKS after piling up the mammoth total of 205 runs. M Siraj and H Patel failed to fetch wickets in the death overs. A concerning sign for RCB. On the other hand, KKR defeated CSK! That too in the Wankhede! That must have […]

SRH vs RR, MCA Stadium. This is a new era for Sunrisers Hyderabad without David Warner and Rashid Khan. Two of the most consistent players are now not a part of SRH anymore. Williamson is now in charge of the team, and the squad is full of young talent. It will be interesting to see […]

Aus vs Pak, Lahore. Both Australia and Pakistan will be looking to start fresh in the ODI series after the not-so-exciting Test series. In the year of a T20 World Cup, the ODI series may not be on the priority list, but it is essential to keep the winning streak alive. Australia played only four […]

CSK will play 1st match of the Tata IPL 2022 vs KKR at Wankhede Stadium. Stats and records are polar. CSK has a respectable win %, but KKR barely managed to win 1 match at Wankhede. Head-to-head stats are also in favor of CSK. Also, for the first time, Ravindra Jadeja will lead the CSK […]

Mumbai Indians are the 5-time IPL title winner so far. Last season was neither excellent nor disappointing for MI. Could IPL 2022 be the 6th time Rohit Sharma will lift the trophy?
