PLAYOFF MATCH ANALYSIS

RR scored a handsome score of 188-6 in 20 overs with the bashing innings of the hot favorite Buttler who scored 89 in 56 balls and Samson with 47 in 26 balls. But the totals was still less for the No.1 team of IPL, GT who chased it in 19.3 overs. In the next match, this team can come as an injured lion and no mercy can be expected from Buttler, Paddikal and Samson. It may be expected that to improve the depth of batting, a bowler may be sacrificed and Neeshan can be included. But there is always a price for anything.

The team needs to pull up as per the qualifiers as we saw the failure of Jaiswal and all the lower middle order. The bowlers too could not perform as per the form they had in group matches. Chahal being the most favorite bowler could not get a single wicket. He can come back with a good plan and it may be difficult to hit him in the second half of the match. Along with Boult can be helpful in getting early wickets for the team. All of these players can be helpful in making their team qualify for the finals

RCB has qualified for the playoff in an IFF and BUT situation, but the performance they had shown us in the playoff is marvelous. After the demise of the opener Plessis (also known as a big match player ), Kohli showed his experience and handled one end and on the other end, Patidar hit as best as he could. He smacked 112 in just 54 balls. The total was added by fast 37 runs of Karthik later on.

In the next match, the hopes are very high from the star performer of the previous match, Patidar, Kohli and Du Plessis. Moreover, the team can further take advantage of their long batting line with Maxwell and Karthik and so on.

The bowling department was not that impressive maybe because of the pressure of the playoff, yet Hazlewood was awesome in the previous match and got 3 wickets. He might be alarming for the opponent. Hasranga can be a nightmare in middle overs as per his performance throughout the IPL 22. Along with him, Patel can be dangerous for the RR. There may not be any change in this winning team.

IPL Playoff Match Prediction – RR vs RCB

Pitch:

The pitch is batting friendly and a high-scoring match is expected. This reason may let the teams rethink their deep batting lineup but on the cost of quality bowlers. The bowlers need to improvise in different situations as the high-scoring matches create difficulties for the batters.

Toss:

The tendency we have seen in both matches is the team winning the toss chooses to bowl first. May be due to the dew factor that bowlers face at the end overs. But yet in the last matches, this ground does not speak of any favor given to either team due to toss.

Prediction:

It’s very difficult to predict between these two teams. Yet after analyzing them in detail, head-to-head comparisons, performance graphs and individual player performances in these kinds of pitches the batting line-up of both teams RCB has come up with more chances of winning but with a short difference ratio of 54:46. But yes, any ordinary mistake can give this match to the RR.
