New Zealand's bench is making easy work of Pakistan. Pakistan are close to full-strength and their line-up showed glimpses of something to come but New Zealand will be a lot happier with how they went early on in the game.

Mohammad Rizwan

Rizwan, sacked as T20 skipper has a point to prove. He struggled in the Champions Trophy and will be eager to make things right.

Nathan Smith

Nathan Smith has a role to play and he has done the role well in the past. He is a handy batter down the order and chips in with some quiet overs pretty well too. 

NZ vs PAK Match Tips

Both teams are a little short on experience and home advantage could keep New Zealand favourites to start.

Match Prediction: New Zealand Will Win the Match

Punjab are only one game in but the brand of cricket they played in the first game was impressive. Lucknow too are a side with a lot of explosive players. In a clash of too explosive sides there is also a case for the bowlers making a mark with decent bowling units, lacking big names but finding a way to fight. Arshdeep Singh is a proven performer and Shardul Thakur has come out of nowhere to look impressive.

Lucknow Super Giants vs Punjab Kings Key Players

Nicholas Pooran

Pooran brings his sixers down to extreme talent and the talent is on show. He was all over Hyderabad and is nailing the game with his performances.

Priyansh Arya

Arya showed a lot of promise in the first game. He found the boundaries with ease, piercing grounds nicely and also showed brief glimpses of his attacking game as well. 

Lucknow Super Giants vs Punjab Kings Riders Match Tips

An interesting game is on the cards but Punjab may start favorites with a little more reliability in their bowling attack.

Match Prediction: Punjab Kings Will Win the Match

Another formerly one-sided rivalry has balanced out in recent seasons with KKR catching up. They are off to a decent start this season with a win and a loss but their middle-order continues to be a little concerning. Their bowling might though has balanced things out. Mumbai are in with their own struggles. Like CSK, MI seem to be playing an outdated brand of Cricket at the moment and with Rohit Sharma failing at the top the holes in their line-up appears a lot bigger. Bumrah's absence is showing with the death looking weak and new-ball lacking bite.

Mumbai Indians vs Kolkata Knight Riders Key Players

Venkatesh Iyer

Iyer still hasn't much to do this season. He was in good form last year and is a pretty flexible batter which is what KKR are hoping will come in handy as he looks to be the middle-overs enforcer in the team.

Rohit Sharma

If there is one man who can put an end to Mumbai's struggles it is the great Rohit Sharma. He showed a very brief glimpse in the previous game but he needs to go deeper and harder with Mumbai really banking on him to make the difference. 

Mumbai Indians vs Kolkata Knight Riders Match Tips

KKR has dominated the match-up in recent times but this time Mumbai could find form and come out on top. Rohit is due a big score and where better than at home.

Match Prediction: Mumbai Indians Will Win the Match

RR, still searching for their first win, may still be a little more comfortable coming into this game. They made 242 in the first game chasing 286, staying competitive throughout, and also bowled well to try and defend 160 odd against Kolkata. Their line-up does lack depth which is a concern and Shimron Hetmyer too seems to be batting too low to make an impact. Their recent record against Chennai has been incredible though, winning four of the last five and they know that Chennai are struggling.

The Super Kings have a lot of questions. They have points on the board but in all reality, the win against Mumbai was pushed due to their bowling with their batters struggling to chase 150 odd. The batting firepower looks very off with Rahul Tripathi, Deepak Hooda and Sam Curran not living up to the mark yet. Shivam Dube as well seems to be batting a spot lower and could move up to bring out the best of the spin basher in him. MS Dhoni at nine was a huge concern. He looked good and both he and Jadeja definitely looked like players capable to bat higher up. Is there a case of Devon Conway coming in though? He would look more assured along with Ruturaj Gaikwad back at the top but for now the batting line-up does not seem to be working well and the spin attack in Ashwin and Jadeja too are yet to hit their best.

Rajasthan Royals vs Chennai Super Kings Key Players

Shivam Dube

Shivam Dube, CSK's spin basher has a role to play but has not been given the platform or situation yet. He has a case to bat up the order with 3 and 4 working well for him last season. He is the only explosive batter in the line-up after Dhoni, but both seem to be batting too low for the given situation in T20 Cricket.

Yashashvi Jaiswal

Jaiswal is yet to hit his straps. He looked good against the Knight Riders but could not push on for a bigger innings. He has an out of form CSK against him now and will be looking to find some time out in the middle. 

Rajasthan Royals vs Chennai Super Kings Match Tips

RR are winless but they definitely look a lot more convincing given CSK's struggle with the bat two games in a row.

Match Prediction: Rajasthan Royals Will Win the Match

The last time these two sides faced of in Vishakapatnan, the Capitals were given a hammering in all directions. The start of Jake Fraser Mcgurk took place but that wasn't enough as the bowlers were taken down by Travis Head and co, conceding 100 in the first 5 overs. The bowling attack is similar this time to but Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav will be eager to fight and show that bowlers too have a say in the game.

Sunrisers May have lost their last game but the batting was true to their nature. They kept going for their shots despite losing wickets but showed a little vulnerability to some high quality death bowling.

Aniket Varma 

In a team full of batting firepower the Sunrisers had one more stand out against Lucknow. Aniket Varma, a new star, given the license to go out and express himself was incredible in the back end of the innings.

Mitchell Starc

Mitchell Starc made a mess of Travis Head's furniture in the Finals last year and he knows a thing or two about the Sunrisers opener. He is a competitive bowler in his own right and in a tournament dominated by batters he will be eager to make his mark. 

Delhi Capitals vs Sunrisers Hyderabad Match Tips

An interesting battle between bat and ball could be likely. SRH start favorites but Delhi has the batting might as well.

Match Prediction: Sunrisers Hyderabad Will Win the Match

Mumbai Indians are off to a loss yet again in the series but the way they went in the first game gives them certain points to be happy. For starters, they have yet another wonder story thanks to their famous scouting unit with Vignesh Puthur starring in his first ever competitive game. He has not played any domestic cricket and is certainly shaping up as a wonder story. Can he do the same on flat pitch though? Can Mumbai Indians do better with the bat as well. Their line-up struggled against spin in Chennai losing wickets in clusters. 

Gujarat are off to a loss as well with Rashid Khan being taken down with ease. Their batting looks good despite not seemingly having much depth but the bowling, which is their strong point seems a concern. Siraj was picked up off easily as was Rabada and weapons with the ball might need to be found again.

Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians Key Players

Suryakumar Yadav

Suryakumar Yadav's form has been a touch of concern. His leadership for India was pretty good but the runs have dried up in the last few months. He has come into the IPL with little runs behind him the past only to find form in the long tournament and MI will be eagerly waiting to see if he does again.

Sai Sudharshan

Sai Sudharshan continues to roll well. His batting has been very efficient, playing good cricketing shots to get his runs while also maintaining a good strike-rate. 

Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians Match Tips

Both teams did not show up too well in the first game but Mumbai did put up a better fight. They have depth now with Pandya back and will look a little stronger.

Match Prediction: Mumbai Indians Will Win the Match

Royal Challengers look good this season. Their bowling worked well with the spin attack off to a good start. They will be happier in Chepauk knowing the spinners will have good assistance for them. The batting line-up too came in well with Virat Kohli and Phil Salt starting well and Rajat Patidar looking good as the leader. Bhuvneshwar Kumar's fitness remains a question though.

The Chennai Super Kings won their first game as well but they will be a little concerned coming into the fixture. Their batting line-up struggled with Shivam Dube and Deepak Hooda failing to get their stroke through. They took a relatively comfortable chase little too deep and struggled to look convincing with the bat. The bowling was solid though with Khaleel Ahmed and Noor Ahmad making extraordinary debuts for CSK. Ravi Ashwin came back pretty well too and the spin trio are likely to be even more at their element in the next game. The presence of right-handers in the RCB line-up will also bring Jadeja into play a lot more for the upcoming fixture.

Chennai Super Kings vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru Key Players

Yash Dayal

Yash Dayal was the one to bowl the memorable final over in their last encounter where he dismissed Dhoni who smoked a 110m six the previous ball. He will come into this game with a lot of confidence and will be waiting to face MS Dhoni again at the back end of the innings.

Ravindra Jadeja

Ravindra Jadeja vs Virat Kohli is often a fun battle. With the right-handers in Bengaluru, there could be a lot of fun for him especially against the likes of Phil Salt and Rajat Patidar who will be eager to take him down. 

Chennai Super Kings vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru Match Tips

Chennai struggled with the bat in the first game while Bengaluru were a little more convincing. They are chasing their first win in Chepauk since 2008 but will feel most confident for this particular encounter.

Match Prediction: Royal Challengers Bengaluru Will Win the Match

Hyderabad put on 282 in the first game and now they take on LSG, who could not defend a 200+ total in their opener. The signs look ominous for certain. Lucknow are missing a handful of key bowlers in their side and with little for comfort, they could well see another big score go up against them in the next game. 300 does not seem too far, and the last encounter between these two sides remains fresh when Sunrisers chased down 166 in less than 10 overs. Can they challenge the Hyderabad batters and does Rishabh Pant have some magic in him to conjure something special out of a sticky situation?

Nicholas Pooran

Nicholas Pooran has a task on hand. Batters in Hyderabad tend to get a good grip of the pitch and for six-hitter like him the role becomes all the more important as Lucknow look to stay in the contest against the most explosive side in the IPL.

Abhishek Sharma

Abhishek Sharma the batter is off to a good start in the tournament. The bowler though has been coming in nicely too. With Rajasthan making 242, Abhishek Sharma managed to bowl two tidy overs at 8.5. He was quick and efficient and looks improved and capable to build into another potential left-arm spinning all-rounder in the Axar Patel mold. 

Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Lucknow Super Giants Match Tips

Sunrisers start evident favorites on a good batting track and against a shaky bowling line-up.

Match Prediction: Sunrisers Hyderabad Will Win the Match

Rajasthan has a lot to take away from their first game. Where do they start? The bowling was hammered by Hyderabad who put on 286, batting Rajasthan out of the game early. Jofra Archer, their spearhead, returned with expensive figures. The top order struggled but a major positive is the batting as Rajasthan still managed to get to 242. The bowling let them down but their batting will keep them believing for certain.

KKR on their end were let down by their middle-order. They were cruising in the opener until a collapse took them down giving Bengaluru an easy target to chase. Can the middle-order find their momentum? KKR will be relying on them to do so.

Dhruv Jurel

Jurel looked solid at number five, taking on a daunting target and looking at ease. He has set himself up nicely as the bridge in the line-up but his results against leg spin could be a question with Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy up to challenge him.

Quinton De Kock

Following his retirement, Quinton De Kock has not really set the stage alight on the franchise level. He was at his worst last year and also in the SA20 and will be looking desperately for form with Sunil Narine helping him ease the pressure at the top. 

RR vs KKR Match Tips

Rajasthan Royals may have lost the first game but as a line-up they looked a lot more settled than the Knight Riders and could be a little more confident.

Match Prediction: Rajasthan Royals Will Win the Match
