  1. Hi Guys,
    I'm back with prediction for this match between KKR and HH. First let's analyze both teams.

    KKR invincibility continues to 14 matches, can they make it 15? Yes they can. They are on the top of their performance and they have got confidence to do so. When a dhakkan player like Yusuf Pathan opens the bowling for a team then you can guess the confidence level of that team. There was a time when KKR considered Yusuf Pathan a burden which they continue to carry till date thanks to Khan-Khan bhaiwad. Shahrukh Khan likes big khan and hence he is in team.

    KKR batting have been always dodgy and in last match they did a trial of batting first after winning toss to boost their confidence in that department and they manage to win the match batting first,
    KKR's bowling was little bit tested in last match when Sunil Narine was hit all over the ground in initial overs only to restore his reputation later,

    Overall KKR looks like a team with in-form batsmen and bowlers, top that up with their confidence level, their strategy and a 14 winning streak and you get the whole picture.

    Hobart Hurricanes: HH are not a weak team like rest of other overseas franchise. Amongst all the overseas franchise HH are the best and full with international players. Their bowling is their strength and given the fast that KKR's batting is not their strength, HH can dent KKR's batting line. But again vice versa is also true. KKR mystery man and chinaman will make HH batsmen dizzy.

    Weather: It's predicted to be sunny so rain should not cause any problem.

    The Ground: Here is very interesting fact about Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Uppal, Hyderabad. In this championship all teams chasing have won the matches. And guess what KKR even manage to topple CSK chasing the score. So here again if KKR manage to stick to their plan and do what they have been doing i.e. win the toss and bowl first then they are winner well before Kick Off.

    Ok, now the business end of prediction.

    Match: KKR will win, irrespective of batting first or second.
    KKR winning chances: 90%
    Lambi: 160-175 any team batting first.
    Session: 70 any team batting first.

    Overall this match is a sure win for KKR.

    Risk: KKR's overconfidence can sink them.

    Safe Betting: If you are still listening to paan chewing, pajama wearing street charlatans the you are a a fool. don't gamble but trade. Go to BETFAIR.com open and account and start trading there instead of risking your possessions and life savings on betting in street. If you need any help in trading then don't hesitate to ask.

    Good Luck!

    • thank u munnabhai, toss ka bhi bata do. agar kkr pahle batting karti hai to fir kya hoga?

      • Yaar toss ka bhi koi prediction hota hai kya? Kyon lagate to toss per. Toss is 50-50 event and gambling on 50-50 event is always a loss. I never bet on toss and predict toss.

        The only time I bet on toss is when MS Dhoni is involved. He has got great luck in winning tosses. Look at his toss winning ratio he baffles all. You can safely bet on Dhoni to win toss and at the end you will be in profit. Apart from Dhoni don't bet on tosses.

        • YES MSD WIL WIN THE TOSS

  2. Bhai ye apka prediction hai ya aapko confirm report mili hai. Mere prediction k hisab se HE favourite aayengaa aur jyada vepar KKR pr hoga toh match usko win krdegey.

    • I'm neither a match fixer nor do I collect match fixing details from underground bookies. I predict based on stats and past match analysis viz. past results, scores, pitch conditions, etc etc.

  3. Munna bhai thank u.i cant watch matches live.so I follow u.i m very busy.i do have a good sense of prediction but since I dont watch matches live.i cannot figure out the performance of the teams by my means.so I read the predictions of intellectuals like you.first raju bhai was there but he seems to be 50-50 guy.then I found u very smart.can I bet on kkr today.one more thing,sometimes u can predict the outcome 100%. I have done that before but since I cannot watch matches live,I m not able to do that.munna bhai u r like my guardian.u guide me. Thank u once again

  4. Raju bhai predictions plz .......we r waiting for your valuable predictions .....

  5. where is raju bhai....come bai

  6. Bhai KKR going to bat second !!! Plz give the correct prediction

  7. Here are updated predictions after KKR lost toss and Hobart are batting first.
    Lambi: 150-165
    Session: 55-65
    KKR will chase down score and win the match.
    KKR might face some hiccups but ultimately they will win.

  8. Hbh can scre 180 plus ???

    • No way they care score 180 against Sunil N. It looks good pitch to bat on but KKR will restrict them. 180 looks like impossible score.

  9. Session: Pass minus 1 run.
    Bang on target

  10. Munna bhai your predictions are really good....

  11. kya lagta han kkr chase kar payega?

    • Easily chase ho jayega, bharosa rakho humpe.

  12. can kkr finsh in 18 overs ??

  13. aj hobart jitega ! ! dakhna ! ! in sha ALLAH ! ! ! ALLAh will help me today !! nahi jita hobart toh mein khatam !!

    • Abe bhang kha rakhi hai kya?

  14. Lambi fail ho gaya big time. Never mind, match result is in our pocket as predicted, just 8 runs away.

  15. KKR wins, my predictions came true.
