Sunrisers Hyderabad have secured their place in the final by winning against Rajasthan Royals in the second qualifier held on 24 May. In this way, now Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and SRH will face each other in the final to be held on 26 May. Before this title match, former England cricketer Kevin Pietersen has given his opinion and believes that KKR has a better chance of winning. Pietersen believes that KKR’s spin attack and their recent record against SRH seem to benefit them in the crucial match. KKR has the advantage- Kevin Pietersen He said on Star Sports Cricket Live, I didn’t like the way Sunrisers Hyderabad lost in Ahmedabad and I think it will put them on the backfoot early on Sunday. I didn’t like the way Pat Cummins finished that game. Travis Head bowled and Shreyas Iyer hit a brilliant shot. Pietersen said, knowing that they beat SRH just a few days ago, KKR’s confidence will be very high in the final. So it will be difficult for Sunrisers to move forward, but I think they will do well, because they have won in SA20. So they know how to win. He continued, “The toss is 50-50. You have to consider the possibility of dew and be ready even if dew doesn’t come. It’s all about mindset and confidence. I think KKR have an advantage, given the way they have played, their win in Qualifier-1 and their preparation in the last three or four days.”

Sunrisers Hyderabad has made the highest total twice this season. Against Mumbai, Hyderabad scored 277 runs for 3 wickets, while against RCB, SRH scored 287 runs for 3 wickets. Now Delhi Capitals head coach Ricky Ponting has predicted that the aggressive batting team will win IPL 2024. “Sunrisers Hyderabad is responsible for some of them (big scores). KKR scored 272 runs against us. I think the way teams are batting, the role of impact player is important. How Travis Head batted last night. You can’t bat like that unless you have confidence in your lower order players. Ponting further said that, most of the big tournaments like IPL and Big Bash in Australia have been won by the best defensive bowling teams. This is how the IPL season is going, the team which attacks the bowlers and tries to score big will win the trophy. However, the Delhi Capitals team has been seen struggling this season. At present the team is at ninth position in the points table. The team has played six matches, winning only two.
3 things that RCB men’s team can learn from WPL 2024 champion RCB women’s team
RCB is the champion of the second season of Women’s Premier League Royal Challengers Bangalore Women (Image Credit- Twitter After waiting for almost 16 years, finally Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) has been successful in winning its first trophy. Let us tell you that RCB has won the title for the first time by defeating Delhi Capitals by 8 wickets in the final of Women’s Premier League 2024. So this trophy of RCB is going to be very special, because maybe this year will be the year of RCB. Because in the 17th year, RCB has won the final match held on the 17th day of March. It was the fans’ faith in their franchise that every time the team failed, they supported it again with full enthusiasm. Every year RCB’s slogan used to be Ae Saala Cup Namde (This year the cup is ours), but now it has become Ae Saala Cup Namdu (This year the cup is ours). On the other hand, from this victory of RCB women’s team, RCB men’s team can also learn a lot, which has not been able to win the trophy even once after playing three final matches of IPL. Let us know about three lessons that the men’s team can learn from the women’s team: 3. Have faith in your strength RCB, which won only 2 matches in the first season of the Women’s Premier League, decided to improve their bowling this season. For this, he may have weakened his batting, but he strengthened his bowling, and he also believed in his strength. At the same time, this decision of RCB also worked for them, because three bowlers of RCB (Shreyanka Patil, Asha Shobhana and Sophie Molineau) were at the forefront among the top wicket takers of the tournament. They had one of the best bowling line-ups in the WPL. The team had taken one wicket at a span of 22 runs. So, RCB men’s team has a serious pace attack, but they will have to show confidence in their bowling lineup despite the home ground like Chinnaswamy. 2. Peace in dressing form We have often seen during IPL matches that after one or two defeats, there is a lot of turmoil in the RCB camp, due to which the team is seen making small mistakes on the field. There was a similar situation with the women’s team as there were very few chances of reaching the playoffs. But in the important match, all-rounder Ellis Perry worked calmly and performed. On the field he enjoyed his game, without worrying about what the outcome of the match would be. On the other hand, the men’s team takes so much pressure of reaching the playoffs that they forget to enjoy the match and have to face defeat in important matches. 1. Make home ground a fort In the Women’s Premier League, we saw that the women’s team performed brilliantly in front of Chinnaswamy’s home crowd and won 3 out of 5 matches played at home. But the figures of the men’s team are less…

After disappointing performance in the first season, RCB Smriti Mandhana Created history under the leadership of (Smriti Mandhana) and gave the franchise its first trophy. While talking to the media after winning the final, Smriti Mandhana talked about having faith in herself. He said that, one thing I have learned is to believe in myself. This was something that was not there last year and everything went wrong. Need to have confidence in yourself- Smriti Mandhana Mandhana said, I had doubts about some things in myself but that was the real conversation in my mind, I need to believe in myself and I think that was the biggest learning for me. WPL On becoming the second Indian captain to win the title, she said that, last year when MI and DC were playing in the final, somewhere I expected that Harman would win it. Because I wanted an Indian captain to win the first edition of WPL, if not me then it should be Harman. So I was happy for Harman and the entire MI team. In the end she said, I became the second Indian to win in the second season. This shows how much depth there is in Indian cricket. This is just the beginning, we still have a long way to go.
