IPL 2020 – DC vs RCB: Match preview, Fantasy XI team and Prediction

Match 55 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 will feature a heated clash as Delhi Capitals will take on the Royal Challengers Bangalore.

The match will be the antepenultimate match of the league stage and it still isn’t confirmed that which teams will qualify for the playoffs. This match, therefore, is extremely important for that and especially for that notorious fourth position.

The winner of the match will surely qualify for the playoffs. However, the losing side could be in trouble if their net run rate goes below KKR. Also, if SRH defeats MI, they’ll for sure qualify because of their positive net run rate. Therefore, the loser of this match might even get eliminated if their net run rate goes below KKR’s.

DC is coming off a disappointing loss against the Mumbai Indians. RCB is also coming off a disappointing loss against the Sunrisers Hyderabad.

Royal Challengers Bangalore

RCB has one of the most stable combinations of all teams this season as well. However, they’ll have to improve their strike rate especially in the earlier overs and make use of the powerplay.

Virat Kohli’s poor form will also be a concern for RCB. Also, their pace bowling has failed to achieve some consistency.

Delhi Capitals

Capitals have had some difficulty in their batting since their last few matches they were at least 10-15 runs short. Rishabh Pant being injured has added some distortion in their team combination. The restriction of playing four foreign players had Shimron Hetmyer out of the playing 11 as well. However, they have equally capable Ajinkya Rahane and Alex Carey replacing them.

However, with the return of Rishabh Pant and Shimron Hetmyer, they have been struggling as well. Prithvi Shaw and Shikhar Dhawan will have to perform at their best if they want to see DC qualify and then win.

Their bowling, however, can compensate for some fewer runs. Everyone in their bowling attack has been phenomenal.

Fantasy XI team

DEVDUTT PADIKKAL (9.5) (C) – Youngster Padikkal has impressed everyone with his batting this year. He has been extremely consistent. He’ll be our captain.

AB DE VILLIERS (10) (VC) – AB de Villiers has been extremely consistent with this IPL. He’ll be our vice-captain.

SHREYAS IYER (9.5) – Iyer has shown glimpses of form. However, he’ll have to convert his starts into a bigger inning.

PRITHVI SHAW (8.5) – Shaw hasn’t been in great form, however, he can always be dangerous.

JOSH PHILLIPE (8) – Phillipe has been in decent form since the last two innings. He has justified his selection over Aaron Finch.

CHRIS MORRIS (9.5) – Morris has always been among wickets and he can score some runs down the order as well.

KAGISO RABADA (9.5) – Rabada has been the highest wicket-taker of the season so far. He’ll be our captain.

YUZVENDRA CHAHAL (9) – Chahal has been great in this IPL and has been picking wickets at regular intervals.

ANRICH NORTJE (8.5) – Nortje has been continuously clocking over 150 kmph and has always provided wickets.

MOHAMMED SIRAJ (8.5) – Siraj has been in form and can pick wickets with the new ball.

PREDICTION

Both RCB and DC are low on confidence. However, RCB still has the basic skeleton of their team intact, they just have to make some minor adjustments. Royal Challengers Bangalore will therefore defeat the Delhi Capitals.

AMD mocks NVIDIA for its bulky GPUs, power requirements, and 12-pin power connectors

0

The Red team recently dropped its Radeon RX 6000 series GPUs a few days ago and this has already made gaming fans excited because it is the first time AMD has matched or even beat NVIDIA in high performance graphics.

Also, the new Ryzen 5000 processors have already laid a coffin to Intel’s gaming supremacy as even the lowest of the stack Ryzen 5 5600X beats the flagship Core i9-10900K in single-core benchmarks. This has made team Red fans even more excited, on top of this, AMD promises some further tweaks like Smart Access Memory if you use Ryzen + Radeon combo.

In the middle of this, AMD is not stopping to troll its competitor NVIDIA for their bulkier designs and the weird 12-pin power connectors. AMD Radeon RX’s Twitter account replied:

We can’t promise it will fit into every ITX and SFF build, but we do have good news: we designed the RX 6000 Series to accommodate a variety of cases and power requirements.

This, along with the image used for illustration, shows AMD means NVIDIA and its ludicrous high TDP oriented GPUs. Also, the RTX 3080 and RTX 3090 GPU owners face many power constraint issues as well; this means AMD has a good chance to satisfy gamers with its GPUs, provided they do not mess up with stocks.

Arsenal gets their first win at Old Trafford in 14 years as Manchester United collapse again at home

0

Old Trafford is not looking like a ‘fortress’ to Manchester United this season in the Premier League. Manchester United is yet to win a game at Old Trafford this season in the Premier League. In their first 4 league games, they managed to collect only 1 point.

Manchester United lost against Arsenal by 1-0. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s 69th-minute penalty sealed the victory for the Gunners. It was the first time in 14 years Arsenal beat Manchester United at Old Trafford. Mikel Arteta becomes the second Arsenal manager to beat Manchester United in his first 2 games against them.

After an extra-ordinary display against the Bundesliga leader RB Leipzig in mid-week, it was expected that Manchester United will continue with their rhythm. Manchester United fielded a 4-4-2 formation with a diamond in midfield with Pogba, Mctominay, Fred, and Bruno. On the other hand, Arsenal was playing with a 3-4-3 formation. Manchester United failed to play well in the final third and could not create enough chances to test the arsenal goalkeeper Bernard Leno.

In the 69th minute, Paul Pogba tripped Hector Bellerin in the penalty box and conceded a cheap penalty. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang kept his nerve and squished it into the bottom corner to take the lead. He also ends his goal drought by scoring from the spot.

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer threw in Donny Van De Beek, Edinson Cavani, and Matic in place of Bruno, Greenwood, and Fred respectively. But they also failed to change the situation.

Manchester United will face Everton at Goodison Park next weekend. It will be another tough test for the Red Devils. If Solskjaer fails to win that tie as well, calls would be made for a managerial change. So it’s a do-or-die situation for United.

Jurgen Klopp all praises for super-sub Jota

Liverpool managed to come from behind to earn all three points against a resolute West Ham United team, at Anfield. Pablo Fornals managed to open the scoring for the visitors with the very first effort of the game at only ten minutes into the game. 

Despite managing to secure the early lead, the Hammers bottled the lead heading into half time, conceding a cheap penalty which Mohamed Salah converted to level things up at 45. 

Liverpool’s Diogo Jota came on in the 70th minute to replace Bobby Firminho, and almost gave the hosts the lead in 7 minutes, but had the goal ruled out by VAR.

However, the Portuguese forward would strike again in the 85th minute and that was all it took for the reigning Champions to extend their 3 and a half year unbeaten run at home. 

Speaking after the match, Liverpool’s new boy had this to say: 

“The goal means a lot. Seeing the game on the bench, I’m always thinking about what I can do to change things.

“The most important thing was the win, we just want to keep winning games. With so many games you have to keep moving. Fortunately in the end I got the space. It was a great pass from Shaq.

“I played two games in the starting 11 before this one. It’s a team. The manager chooses the 11, we need to do our job.”

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was all praises for Jota and also commented on his team’s spirit. 

“I cannot convince this group to fight if they are not fighters.

“It’s always been easy with this team to show them the right path and know that they will follow it.

“These boys, the basis for what we do is the character of them. It is always easy with this team.

“We show them the right path, they do it. They don’t have to be in the best shape, but if we can find a way to help, we help.”

New Samsung Exynos 981 could come with Bluetooth 5.2

0

Samsung, the Korean smartphone giant, is known for manufacturing processor for their smartphones in different regions. Exynos is their processor, but Samsung also uses Qualcomm’s processors, who have US$24.7 billion revenue (2019).

Samsung uses Exynos chipsets even in its flagship smartphones. They launched the Samsung M series and A series of smartphones with the Exynos processor, which was a huge success for Samsung. Seeing the positive feedback, Samsung is working on Exynos chipsets.

Now the brand is reportedly going to launch a new processor – the Exynos 981. The Exynos 981 has been certified by the Bluetooth SIG certification, which hints at a potential launch. That means there is a possibility that we could see Exynos 981 in Samsung’s upcoming mid-range smartphones.

The processor’s certification description says, “The Exynos 981 is to be used together with a compatible RF chip to build a full BT + WiFi solution supporting Bluetooth 5.2”. If we take Bluetooth 5.2 support as a hint, then we can expect the processor is coming very soon.

In the second quarter, Samsung released the Exynos 880 octa-core processor, and now shortly, Exynos could launch 981 with Bluetooth 5.2. Exynos 980 was a mid-range SoC, and it was the company’s first 5G-modem. Seeing the previous price-range, we can assume that 981 SoC will be another mid-range processor after 980.

The Bluetooth SIG certification does not tell us about the existence of the Exynos 981 processor. Now we will have to when the Exynos 981 SoC comes into the market.

Edouard Mendy set to break Chelsea record

0

Edouard Mendy has proven to be the best Premier League signing of the summer so far and is without a doubt an incredible piece of business by Chelsea. 

Former Chelsea keeper Petr Cech chose his heir at the club well, and the stats are there to prove it. Interestingly, both Cech and Mendy were former Rennes players who signed for Chelsea. 

Cech went on to be an absolute legend at the club and had a big part to play in their 2012 Champions League victory. 

petr cech didier 3195376 Edouard Mendy set to break Chelsea record

While not at the same level, Edouard Mendy has completely transformed the Chelsea defence since his arrival at the club. 

In his 6 appearances between the sticks for the Blues, Mendy has managed to keep an incredible five clean sheets. He is yet to concede a goal in the Premier League and the Champions League. 

The only player to score against him is Erik Lamela of Tottenham, whose late equaliser eventually proved fatal for Chelsea’s hopes of winning the EFL Cup.

With his latest appearance against Burnley in Chelsea’s 3-0 away victory, Mendy took an early step towards nearing that of his teammate, as he became the first Chelsea keeper since 2004 to keep three consecutive clean sheets in his first three games in the Premier League. 

The record was previously held by Petr Cech alone but now belongs to both the Rennes and Chelsea shot-stoppers. Mendy will have a great chance at making the record his own as Chelsea host Sheffield United next weekend.

Considering the slump in form that the Blades have had since the beginning of the 20/21 campaign, Chelsea will be hoping to secure another clean sheet in the Prem. 

However, Mendy will first play his former club Rennes in midweek. It goes without saying that the affair will be an emotional one for the Senegalese keeper.

MS Dhoni asked whether game against KXIP in IPL 2020 would be his last; he responds “definitely not”

MS Dhoni has moved to clarify rumours that have surrounded his CSK future. Asked at the toss whether it was his last game in the famous yellow jersey, he responded, “Definitely not”.

This ties in perfectly with reports last week about CSK CEO Kasi Vishwanathan talking about how it was not necessary to change the entire setup, just because of one bad season.

He was quoted as saying at the time, “Yes, definitely. I am very confident that Dhoni will lead CSK in 2021. He has won three titles for us in the IPL. This is the first year we have not qualified for the playoffs. No other team has done that. One bad year does not mean we will have to change everything.”

He is expected': CSK skipper MS Dhoni set to start training for IPL 2020  from March 1

Ahead of IPL 2021, the most important questions will be asked of what the squad will look like when the Chennai management take to the auction table. The elimination from Group Stage is not something that CSK are used, with this edition being the first time in their 11-years history.

Struggling to chase down totals earlier on, their entire team underperformed from the beginning which saw them lose points continually. The chopping and changing of the playing XI also did not help matters, in a tournament that prides itself in retaining functioning combinations. From that perspective, Dhoni as captain needs to relook of what he demands from his team going into the new edition of the competition.

Experience of 300 ODIs pays off in these situations: MS Dhoni | Deccan  Herald

One thing is for sure that Dhoni has not been himself as a batsman often getting out for low scores and not sustaining a meaningful innings to guide the team home. This season, he has scored 199 runs in 12 innings at a strike rate of 118.45.

From that perspective, he no longer is the clinical finisher that he once was. CSK, however, did end their campaign on a winning note, beating KXIP by 9 wickets in Match 53 of the IPL 2021. And he will hope that next year, they are able to make a capable challenge of claiming back the title.

IPL 2020: Probable Orange and Purple cap winners as we head towards the end of the tournament

IPL 2020 has been filled with uncertainties. Nail-bitting thrillers, super overs, injuries, controversies, records, etc., you name it! It has been everything the fans needed during these tough times caused by the pandemic.

We’re at the business end of the tournament, and it still isn’t clear as to which team will occupy that number 4 position of the points table. Top teams like Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bangalore seem to be struggling. On the other hand, teams like Rajasthan Royals and Sunrisers Hyderabad who were struggling before suddenly have a decent chance.

Today we list the probable orange cap and purple cap holders by the end of the tournament.

Probable orange cap holders at the end of the tournament!

KL Rahul ipl 2020 IPL 2020: Probable Orange and Purple cap winners as we head towards the end of the tournament
(PC- The Indian Express)

1) KL RAHUL – The fact that KL Rahul still might be the leading run-scorer of the tournament despite his team not being in the playoffs is fascinating. KXIP won’t play those extra 1-3 matches of the playoffs, therefore, Rahul being at the top goes to show how phenomenal he has been throughout the tournament.

Rahul has scored a whopping 670 runs with an average of 55.83 which includes 5 fifties and a century.

2) DEVDUTT PADIKKAL – Padikkal is at the 8th position in the list of the highest run-scorers of the IPL 2020. However, the teams of some batsmen above him would probably be eliminated. Therefore, Padikkal can jump up the list. He has scored 422 runs with an average of 32.46 including four fifties.

3) DAVID WARNER – Sunrisers probably have the strongest chance of making the playoffs as their net run rate is positive. Warner, therefore, can continue to be on the list of potential purple cap holders. He has scored 444 runs with an average of 37 including 3 fifties.

4) VIRAT KOHLI – Kohli has been going through another rough patch. However, we know for the calibre of player he is, he can always score big consistently. He has scored 431 runs with an average of 47.88 including 3 fifties.

5) SHIKHAR DHAWAN – Dhawan started the tournament poorly but then made the record of being the only batsman to score two-consecutive IPL centuries. He also made two fifties before that. However, has been struggling in three games ever since. But again, you never know when he might explode. He has scored 471 runs with an average of 47.10 with two centuries and two fifties.

Probable purple cap holders at the end of the tournament!

IPL 2020: Probable Orange and Purple cap winners as we head towards the end of the tournament

1) JASPRIT BUMRAH – Bumrah has gained form at the best time of the tournament. He has taken 23 wickets so far.

2) TRENT BOULT – Boult has used all of his experience on those tricky UAE pitches. He has taken 20 wickets so far.

3) KAGISO RABADA – Rabada has lost some form but he can always be dangerous. He has taken 23 wickets so far.

4) JOFRA ARCHER – Archer has consistently been among the wickets. He has taken 20 wickets so far.

5) YUZVENDRA CHAHAL – Chahal has shined on pitches were mostly fast bowlers had assistance. He has taken 20 wickets so far.
