So far it has been a hell of a ride and we got to witness some unexpected eliminations and even unexpected victories. For the very last time in 2021 DC vs KKR will take place, where there will be no second chance.

Poor decision to give the ball to Tom Curran with an over left of Kagiso Rabada in Qulaifier 1 cost Delhi the chance to reach the finals directly. But they are lucky they have got a second chance. Comparing head to head in 29 overall matches DC has won 13 games, on the other hand, KKR has won 15.

Kolkata Knight Riders

Since leg 2 of IPL 2021 has begun at UAE the Knight Riders have bounced back stronger than ever. They got some big names in their team like Dinesh Karthik, Shubhman Gill, and the skipper Eoin Morgan. Despite that, the key player has got to be Venkatesh Iyer. Thi young emerging g Indian player has proved that if he is given a chance he can dominate International Cricket with his potential. Today when Iyer will open the innings with Shubhman Gill for KKR in Qualifier 2, KKR vs DC they will be responsible for giving their team a solid start in the powerplay.

Predicted XI and Team news

Portugal

Some rotations can be seen on Saturday as Rafa Silve along with Raphel Guerreiro will miss out on this game against Luxembourg. Their difficulties do not end here as Domingos Duarte will be sidelined too. Trincao was tested covid positive so he will be gone for long, besides that no other injuries have been reported as of now. Diogo Costa is doubtful and we can see Riu Patricio come in to fill his spot for tomorrow’s encounter.

Predicted XI: Rui Patricio; Diogo Dalot, J. Fonte, Danilo Pereira, Nuno Mendes; Matheus Nunes, William Carvalho, Joao Mario; G. Guedes, A. Silva, Cristiano Ronaldo

Luxembourg

Injuries won’t be a concern for Luc Holtz’s side and most probably Christopher Martins and Rodrigues will be available for this upcoming big game. Martins and Rodrigues faced a one-game suspension, while their return can imbibe spark in the squad, and hopefully, they will get all the confidence needed to snatch this game from the hands of Portugal.

Portugal vs Luxembourg: Predictions

One of the most dominant sides not only of their respective group but also o the tournament will want to continue their current form. Luxembourg has shown significant improvement in their last game against Serbia but still, they could not convert their good performance into a win. Yesterday in the group stage Serbia handed then yet another defeat in the last time out. Comparing head to head without a doubt Ronaldo’s Portugal has easily posted 16 wins in 18 games against Luxembourg. Until and unless a miracle happens at the Estádio Algarve tomorrow, Portugal will claim their fifth consecutive win.

DC vs CSK : IPL 2021 Predictions, Lineup & Where To Watch

No Comments on DC vs CSK : IPL 2021 Predictions, Lineup & Where To Watch

It is Showtime!. As the league stage of IPL has come to an end we have got the 4 teams that will be fighting for the trophy in the playoffs. Delhi capitals, Chennai Super Kings, Royal Challengers Bangalore, and Kolkata Knight Riders have finished at the first second third, and fourth positions respectively. The race to finals begins today with DC vs CSK in Qualifier 1. It will be the 21st knockout match for CSK which is the most number of knockout matches played by any team in the history of IPL. The team who wins this will directly reach the finals while the one who will lose will get another chance to play against the winner of Eliminator in Qualifier 2.

Whatever the result may be one thing is evident that Sunday night is going to be a thriller contest. When the top two teams of IPL 2021 will face others at the Dubai International Stadium things will definitely kick up a notch. While CSK’s Faf du Plessis and DC’s Shikhar Dhawan will hope to get some runs on the board and win back the orange cap. On the other hand, Avesh Khan will also be looking forward to lessening the gap for the race of purple cap and surpass Harshal Patel’s 30 wickets record. This article will focus on the big encounter DC vs CSK as well as the possible XI that both the teams could play with.

DC vs CSK: Kick-off time & Live Stream

DC vs CSK which is also Qualifier 1 of IPL 2021 will kick off on 10 October 2021. Toss will play a crucial role at the Dubai International Stadium and both the skippers will be looking forward to winning it. Toss for the game will take place at 7:00 pm (IST) while the live-action will being just half an hour later at 7:30 pm (IST). The official broadcasting partner Star Network will as usual broadcast the game on the channels Star Sports 1, Star Sports 1 Hindi, as well as on Star Gold 2. Moreover, you can also stream the thriller live at the streaming platform Hotstar. To watch it there you will have to subscribe and pay for the VIP pass.

Players to watch out & predicted XI

Chennai Super Kings Playing XI: Ruturaj Gaikwad, Faf du Plessis, Moeen Ali, Robin Uttapha, Ambati Rayudu, MS Dhoni(wk,c), Ravindra Jadeja, Dwayne Bravo, Deepak Chahar, Shardul Thakur, Josh Hazelwood.

Delhi Capitals Playing XI: Prithvi Shaw, Shikhar Dhawan, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant(wk, c), Shimron Hetmyer, Marcus Stoinis, Axar Patel, Ravichandran Ashwin, Kagiso Rabada, Avesh Khan, Anrich Nortje.

It is very much possible that Marcus Stoinis can be part of the Delhi squad for DC vs CSK. If Stonis plays Delhi will get one more batsman to make their middle-order strong and well as he can bowl 4 crucial overs as well. Shikhar Dhawan and Prithvi Shaw will have to give their team a great start because defeating CSK without that sounds impossible. On the other hand Ruturaj Gaikwad, Ravindra Jadeja, Shardul Thakur will be the ones to watch out for in CSK.

DC vs CSK Match Predictions

Although Rishab Pant’s Delhi Capitals stamped their authority at the 1st spot of the points table with 20 points, their not-so-consistent batting lineup has been their weakness. In their last league game against RCB, the middle order failed badly and despite a great show from the bowlers, DC lost the game. On the other hand, CSK has also lost the last three consecutive games. Both the teams will be entering the playoffs with a defeat in their last games. Contrary to the current form we all are very well aware of what they are capable of once they gain momentum. And in a game like Cricket, it just takes a decent over to turn the game in one’s favor. Comparing head to head CSK has lost both the matches they played against DC in the group stage. Most probably CSK will sweep away this victory and enter the finals.

No Comments on RCB vs KKR: IPL 2021 Eliminator Predictions & Live Stream

After the thrilling contest between CSK and DC in Dubai, Sharjah will be ready to witness something even more than that tomorrow. RCB vs KKR has always been a nail-biting contest where unexpected has happed. RCB’s lowest total which is also the lowest by any team in the history of IPL came in 2017 against KKR. But that was a different team with experienced players like Gautam Gambhir. This year KKR was lagging behind in the first phase but they have bounced back stronger than ever. RCB has showcased some great team effort which they lacked in the previous years and definitely have the potential to lift the trophy for the first time.

The race to the finals is not going to be all rainbows and sunshine for both Kolkata and Banglore. The winner of the Eliminator will face DC in the second Qualifier as CSK has already reached the finals. On the other hand, the one who loses will have to return home and will be ruled out of the tournament. Monday night it will be all about the intent and confidence on the field. Plans and strategies will be made but the one who will execute them perfectly will win this do-or-die battle. In this article, we have predicted the result and well as have put down both the possible XI that will walk out in Sharjah tomorrow. Furthermore, the kick-off time and streaming platforms have also been covered.

RCB vs KKR: Kick-off time & Live Stream

The Eliminator RCB vs KKR will begin on October 11, 2021, at 7:30 pm (IST). The live telecast of the decider game will be available to watch on the Star Network. The list of channels that will be broadcasting live-action is Star Gold 2, Star Sports 1, Star Sports 1 Hindi as well as the OTT Hotstar. Hotstar will require a VIP or Premium subscription that will cost you ₹899 and ₹1499 per year. Once you subscribe to any of the packs you can watch cricket ad-free without any obstructions. In order to catch the toss all you have to do is to tune into any of the channels or Hotstar at 7:00 pm(IST). Mark the dates and set the alarm as you will definitely not want to miss this decider.

Predicted lineup and players to watch out

Royal Challengers Banglore Playing XI: Devdutt Padikal, Virat Kohli(c), Srikar Bharat(wk), Glen Maxwell, Dan Christian, AB. de Villiers, Shahbaz Ahmed, George Garton, Harshal Patel, Mohamad Siraj, Yuzvendra Chahal.

Kolkata Knight Riders Playing XI: Shubhman Gill, Venkatesh Iyer, Nitish Rana, Rahul Tripathi, Dinesh Karthik(wk), Eoin Morgan(c), Shakib Al Hasan, Sunil Narine, Lockie Ferguson, Shivam Mavi, Varun Chakravarthy.

KKR’s Venkatesh Iyer has been putting up an impressive game over the past few games and he can play a crucial role against a batting lineup studded with power hitters. Talking about the bowlers Shivam Mavi clinched 4 wickets in their last game against a frail RR. Moreover, Lockie Ferguson can be the key player in this Eliminator. RCB’s squad is loaded with performers like Glenn Maxwell, KS Bharat, Devdutt Padikal, Virat Kohli, AB de Villars with the bat while Harshal Patel, Mohammed Siraj, Yuzvendra Chahal, and George Garton with the bowl.

RCB vs DC Match Predictions

Both the teams are in great form and have won their last games against Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals. The journey to playoffs has been very surprising and tough for KKR but they fought till the end and we got to see a brilliant team effort out there on the field. If KKR succeeds in continuing that form then for sure they are going to strip RCB off their dream of winning the IPL title.

Both the teams have faced each other 28 times previously. In which 13 times RCB has managed to win while KKR has won 15 games. In IPL 2021 however, RCB has one of the two matches while KKR has also tasted a victory against the Challengers. Considering the current form of RCB there are chances that if they succeed in putting up an overall great performance then KKR can be easily defeated. I would say the chances are 50/50.

Neither had Memphis nor Jackson have had a great last season. It was plagued by injuries and Jackson was sidelined for 9 months. He missed the training camps and preseasons as well and consequently after he is back he can be seen clearly struggling on the court. Contrary to this, his pre-injury journey is evidence of how phenomenal Jaren Jackson Jr. is when healthy. He has improved a lot in particular areas and hence lands on the 10th spot.

9. Kristaps Porzingis

Kristaps Porzingis is currently averaging 20.3 per game with 2.3 three-pointers and 1.6 blocks per game so far. These stats are the best of his career which is evidence of him being at his best coming into the 2021-22 preseason. Dallas Mavericks‘ power forwarder will definitely play a crucial role to help them gain momentum for the regular sesaon.

8. Tobias Harris

Some might argue that Tobias Harris is not that great in comparison to some other forwarders out there. It may be true that he does not excel in the traditional ways but one thing that makes him the number 8 contender is his basket getting ability. Harris has so far has not been able to complement the 76ers‘ performance as a team but he is definitely more than capable from mid-range and honestly thrives. Despite all this, if you take a close look at the stats he has been consistently putting up solid numbers. Last season he averaged 19.5 points,6.8 rebounds along 3.5 assists, truly one of the most underrated players this season.

7. John Collins

Last season had been fairly tiring for him but at least statistically, Collins has been beyond dominant. He got suspended for violating NBA anti-drug policy and consequently missed out on 25 games. Last season there had been speculations about his contract extension with the Hawks. But without a doubt, with his energy and versatility, Atlanta Hawks are a better side. Considering their playoff aspirations, John Collins is one of those players that will play an important role this season.

6. Domantas Sabonis

With an impressive effective goal percentage, Indiana Pacers‘ power forwarder Domantas Sabonis has grabbed the 6th spot on this list of NBA 2021-22 Top 10 Power Forwarders.

Taking about Domantas Sabonis’ career as a whole with the Pacers, he has averaged 20.3 points, 12.0 rebounds, and 6.7 assists in his fourth season.

5. Zion Williamson

Numbers can be used to make a strong case for New Orleans Pelicans Forward Zion Williamson. In his 68 career games, while shooting 61% from the field Williamson is averaging 25.0 points and 6.8 rebounds. He is a great passer, a vicious rebounder, a terrifying defender, and that is what makes him 5th of the 10 best power forwarders in the NBA this season.
