IPL Matches Today - Live Score Updates

21-April-2015: Kings XI Punjab vs Rajasthan Royals at Ahemdabad Today. Might be a change in ground could bring a change in fortune for Kings XI team.  A win a what Punjab team needs badly at this moment. However they are facing a team today, which is still undefeated in IPL 2015.  Rajasthan Royals are just playing very good T20 cricket at the moment and they have got all the thing at right place. Punjab on the other hand despite being  filled with talented and big name players and still to get the combination right.They are experimenting too much and I guess they should just keep the things simple and play batsmen in a role that suits them better.

20-April-2015: Today KKR will play against Delhi Daredevils. The DD team has got the momentum they have been missing so  far in IPL. They are now at 4 position in points table and a win today will ensure they will replace KKR team who is at number 3 positions. And if they win the match today with a better run rate the Delhi team might also replace CSK who is at number 2 in points table. 

15-April-2015: 13:18 IST:
Today match is between the tournaments favorites Kings XI Punjab and Delhi Daredevils. The Punjab team has a very good performance last year and prior to that the Punjab team performance in IPL was almost similar to the opponents today. The Delhi Daredevils team has not got a good season in the history of IPL. This year the team has invested heavily and purchased Yuvraj Singh at a huge amount. Now its for Delhi team players to show that performance. The match begins at 8 pm at Pune and its most likely that Delhi is goind to loose this match. Lest wait and watch. Good luck to all.

Glimpses of our posts in IPL 7

Yesterday Kings XI Punjab showed a great performance and posted 195 runs as target for Rajasthan Royals team. In the end Rajasthan Royal team managed to score 147 runs only and loosing the game by 48 runs. At one time it was looking that Kings Eleven Punjab will post a total of more than 200 or 225+ but last 5 overs they managed to score some 30 odd runs only, still the target was out of reach for the Rajasthan Royals team lead by Shane Warne.

Today we have 2 matches to be played in IPL. First match will be played between Kolkata Knight Riders and Royal Challengers Bangalore at Kolkata and the second one will be played between Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings at Mumbai.


Kolkata Kinght Riders vs Royal Challengers Bangalore: This is the first time in IPL history that Kolkata team is looking strong in papers and the fields both, otherwise right from the beginning of the IPL Kolkata team has looked stronger in the papers but ended in the bottom of the points table. This is the first time that team looks to be doing good in points table as well. As far as the todays match is concerned its Royal Challengers team which would be more under pressure to win the match they are already in the bottom 2 of the points table and they need a couple of wins badly to make a comeback in the tournament. Kolkata on the other hand are at the top of points table but they lost the last match to Kochi Tuskers, thus they need to win this match so as to remain in the top of the points table.

Mumbai Indians Vs Chennai Super Kings: Mumbai Indians lost to Chennai Super Kings in the finals of the last year IPL and this time Mumbai must be looking forward to beat Chennai, this win can make Mumbai Indian secure the top position in points table, where as Chennai if wins can make into the top 4.

India South Africa match Today - Live Updates

South Africa is out of the ICC Twenty 20 world cup tournament and they only can play now to leave the tournament with a victory. With that said chances for qualification for India has been become very difficult, not only India need to win this match but they need to make sure that match is won by the margin of 31 runs or more. Only then Indian cricket team will have net run rate greater than that of Pakistan. 

Match is being played and so far its a bad start for team India they have lost the top three batsmen withou making any significant contribution to the scoreboard or giving a fast start. India is 38/3 after 6.3 overs. I believe that India can only qualify if they make a score of 180 plus which so far looks a rare dream to achieve. But may be today is the day the storng Indian batting like can show the prowess.

Let keep finger crossed and wait for  whats their on the cards for both teams today.

India Vs Australia Second T20 Match

Australian team after long marked the debut of a player as a captain. And what a fantastic debut match as a captain you have by defeating a team that won the first T20 world cup and also who hosts the T20 extravaganza tournament called IPL every year.

Australia won the first T20 world cup easily given some very explosive batting display by the top order and then bowlers did a great job defending the score of 171 runs. Man of the match for the first T20 match played yesterday MS Wade scored quick 72 runs out of 43 balls that include 5 boundaries and 3 sixes. Captain GJ Bailey for Aussie has a great day as captain and he utilized his resources very well.

For Indian it seems nothing is going to be fine overseas, they criticized experienced players and poor fielding in tests but the young legs of the team Indian in twenty twenty matches also failed to change the fortunes of team India. And I bet in case the team coach, captain and other people responsible for the selection on the playing eleven ; if plan to switch to wait and watch strategy as in test matches then Indian is going to loose the T20 series 2-0 as well.

Personally I feel India need to include experienced player like Irfan Pathan in place of Vinay or Parveen Kumar. Bowling of both these is looking ordinary. A losing team can’t afford to play with the same combination but team India has different opinions and I am not sure when we will see new faces in the Tests, ODIS and the T20’s. For me it’d be a nice approach if you can restrict the amount of same players playing in the entire formats to 30%. This way you can have more on bench talent in the team and in case of replacements because of injuries; out of form or players opt to be rested. A player performing well in T20s can easily be asked to get into the ODI matches and someone doing well in OIDS can be selected for test matches.

Let us see what is on the cards for team Indian on the occasion of second T20 match.

For those who missed the first T20 match they can watch the highlights of the game in the video below:

India vs England Second Test Match Live - India in Trouble

Forget about team India winning the test this test match India is on the verge trailing series by 2-0. England has already taken 374 runs lead on day third and its most likely that they will add another 100 or 150 runs before declaring the inning. And at any cost a target of 500 or 450 will be difficult for India to achieve.

Indian batting line is already depleted and they need to bat 2 full days to save the test which is highly unlikely to happen. Indian batting opening is very weak right from the tour of West Indies and it would be very much if you can expect a 50 runs opening partnership and I bet if that happen tomorrow then definitely Indian can draw the test match.

Now once again debate of India being the number one test team and England claiming to be the number test team will become hot. But one must not forget that Indian team is already playing without leading fast bowlers Zaheer Khan and also missing regular openers Virendar Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir. I wonder if they all made to the this test match India will have a good chance to make a comeback in the series but also they need to save this match at any cost to keep the numero uno position safe.

All the best to team India go save yourselves :)

One thing I mention to forget to say, actually its a message for Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar, sir this is the risght time for you to get the 100th century not better time than this, hope you get the much hyped test 100 in this match. All the best.



VVS Laxman - The DRS of India, DRS = Disaster recovery system, hope he will once again play a saving knock for India

India Vs West Indies - First One Day Match Live

India won the first match and will be looking forward to success in their first series after world cup win. But if we go by the stats from the last match then it won't be easy for team India to win today's match and series easily. Batting which has been strength of team India looks little inexperienced and as we have seen in the T20 match between India and West Indies the top order didn't gave an expected start.

However in bowling team India can rely on the spin attack which is a weak point of West Indies batting. They never look comfortable playing spinners. Good news for West Indies team is that players like Bravo, Pollard and Chanderpaul are back in the team which will add to the experience of the team.

Lets catch all the action from few minutes from now.

World Cup Quarter Final - Australia Vs India Live

First quarter final between Pakistan and West Indies was a one sided game easily won by Pakistan. Only winning the toss was the last thing happened well to the Caribbean team. There decision to bat first proved to be wrong when the team crashed to a low total but somehow surpassed the lowest total ever by West Indies. 112 runs just too short of a target for Pakistan. Pakistan won the match by 10 wickets.

Now let’s talk about the second quarter final, trust me this is not a quarter final but a kind of mini final or a semi-final game. Both Australia and India are among the top contenders for this cricket world cup and it would be interesting to see which team wins tomorrow. I will keep you all updated about the match throughout the day. So far India don't have an impressing record against Australia in the world cup but one thing must be on the Indian cricketers mind in Pakistan can defeat Australia then they too are capable of doing this.

One thing I am sure this will be a high scoring match.

Sri Lanka Vs New Zealand Match score Update

First of all lets talk about match between Ireland and Netherlands. It was an interesting and high scoring match. In the end Ireland chased down the score of 306 runs comfortably with 2.2 overs still left. However this match didn't effect any of the team in the group B as both Ireland and Netherlands team are out of the world cup.

However suspense about who are the other 3 teams that will qualify for the quarter finals along with South Africa from the group B is still maintained. England best West Indies to keep there hopes for the next round live. Now its a virtual quarter final ahead of knock out rounds for West Indies and India who will play against each other on Sunday 20th March.

Now its time for score update Sri Lanka despite gettin a good start ended up with a score of 265/9 in 50 overs. Now lets see if the Kiwi team will be able to chase this score or not. As far as pitch conditions are concerned it will remain a good track to bat despite some assistance to the pace bowlers.

England all out for 171

England needs to win this match but their batsmen didn't really bat well. Faling to play 5o overs they just managed to score 171 runs in 45.4 overs, thus giving South Africa a target of 172 runs to win. I dont see South Africa will have any probelm achieving this target and a win by 7 wickets must be satisfactory for South Africa.

But as they say its not over yet and England team might havea little opprotunity if they can mamage to get some quick early wickets as South African bowlers did. Let wait and watch South African batting is about to begin in 20 mins from now and at the same time its less than 1.5 hours left for next match i.e. India Vs Ireland.

Bopara - Trott partnership builds innings after 3 early wickets

Winning the toss was the only good thing that happened to England for the first 10 overs of the game. England won the toss and elected to bat first, but they have a horrble start to the innings and lost 3 quick wickets. Ravi Bopara and Joanthan Trott now building the innings and a good partnership is going among them. Lets hope they build a health partnership that can enable England to post a competitive target for in-form South African team.

RJ Peterson the spinn bowler for South Africa caused all the damage to the England team he picked all the three wicket by giving only 4 runs in his first spell of 4 overs. Also its now less than 3.5 hours left for the most waited match between India and Ireland to begin. Just wait for the updates to be posted here at http://icccricket.blogspot.com/

Fastest World Cup Centry by Obrien

Fastest World Cup Centry by Kevin Obrien helped Ireland win the match against England. This match Ireland team break lots of records including mentioend below:

1. Fastest century in worl cup history
2. Highest 5th wicket partnership
3. Highest socre chased in world cup

I must also admit here that this was the most interesting match in the 2011 world cup so far, next best can be rated as the one between India and England played at the same venue last Sunday. England team is having trouble with macthes against under dogs as they had problem with match against Netherlands as well but they somehow managed to escape the Ryan ten Doeschate's onslaughter.

I can now defintely agree with the post match statement od Ireland captain who said the team still can qualify for the nest round of the tournament. They do have thre chances at the same time India and England will definitely have to work harder in comming matches so as they can qualify easily to the next round. India will play Ireland this sunday and this game wll be interesting one to watch now.

World cup match today: Today in world cup Netherlands is playing against the strong South African team who already have scored 284/4 in 46 overs. Now we will have to see if Netherlands can do the same thing as the Irish team did yesterday.

Good luck to the Netherlands team.

Player of the day : Kevin O'Brien

In the mean time South Africa have scored 351/5 in 50 overs and thus set a target hard for Netherlands to achieve.

ICC T20 Final Live Score - Australia Vs England

Now this is going to be a perfect final match for T20 world cup. Both the team have never won or reached the final to twenty twenty world cup and for Australia its a do or die match to win the only tournament in cricket they havent won so far. As far as England is concerned its a very very long time they have reached this stage of any tournament so they won't want to loose this chance.

Thing to worry for England will be the way Australia won the semi final match today. A score of 191 was not enough for Pakistan to defend. And last over 18 runs required for winning it was an unforgetable match. Now what England do in the final to win the match .

Australia Vs Pakistan T20 semi final live

Pakistan batted well and this was the first match in last six months where Pakistan played Australia with such a confidence. Australia is chasin a targets of 192 and they have lost first wicket.

Current score is: Pakistan 191/6 (20/20 ov)

Australia 26/1 (2.1/20 ov)

Its going to be interesting if Australia can chase this target or not, ShaneWaston and Haddin are battin beautifully and scoring runs freely. But loosing wickets s the only thing that can cause Australia in trouble otherwise they look to chase tihs score easily.

Keep watching the live score board

The team whic loose todyas match will be out of the tournament and will have to play the one more formality match left. where India will play Sri Lanka and West Indies will play Australia. for any of the today's winner wining the next game will also be crucial.

The New Zealand and Pakistan match was a close thriller and it reminded me of ICC T20 world cup final where India beat Pakistan in tha last ball of the tournament. Till the 4th ball of the last over Pakistan was looking strong and it seem they will win the match but last 2 balls changes the face of the match.
