The game originated before the independence of India is Satta Matka a form of gambling. Explanation: It was originated before Indian independence in this game the players who participate in are supposed to choose the number for the winning game. Like a game is going on and the participants have to choose the right number for the winning.
What positives can you take out from a match in which you were bowled out for 84 and then ended up losing in the 14th over? Not many. The best thing that KKR can do is to forget that match and look to start fresh. Learn from the mistakes, yes, but do not ponder over them.
As it stands, KKR is still in the best position to lock up the fourth place. It has one win more than all of its competitors and could extend that lead further with a win in this match.

It is not going to be easy, however.
KKR is likely to be without Andre Russell who picked up a minor injury. Sunil Narine could make a comeback after being cleared by the IPL but how that affects his bowling remains to be seen. Changing the team also means reshuffling the balance of the team once more and that is not something that KKR wants.
Its batting is a big concern. Shubman Gill has been sedate at the top of the order and seems to be under pressure to be more aggressive. Rahul Tripathi has looked out of his depth against genuine pace, something he will come up against DC.
Nitish Rana has been a shadow of his best self this season and the senior pair of Dinesh Karthik and Eoin Morgan have not set the IPL alight either. KKR is struggling with its batting and is going to go up against the best bowling attack of IPL 2020 in the next match.
The bowling for KKR has got a boost after adding Lockie Ferguson to the playing eleven. However, he has been a lone warrior for the team in their recent two matches. Pat Cummins seems to be struggling to pick wickets, Prasidh Krishna has been pedestrian, and Kuldeep Yadav is short of confidence.
We like Varun Chakravarthy but he is not someone that is going to run through sides.

DC is at the top of the table standings at the time of writing this article but it has some problems to take care of as well. Shikhar Dhawan became the first-ever player to score two consecutive centuries in the IPL but his second inning did not result in a win.
In fact, even the win prior to that required Axar Patel to come in and score 18 runs off the last over.
DC’s batting has been misfiring for some time now and it is a concern. Dhawan’s brilliant form has covered up the poor returns from Prithvi Shaw, Shreyas Iyer, and Rishabh Pant. It is only a matter of time before Dhawan fails in one of the matches and that could test DC out like never before.
There is no doubt in our mind that Prithvi Shaw is going to be under pressure to keep his place with a player Ajinkya Rahane on the bench. Every single batsman apart from Shikhar Dhawan needs to step up.
Perhaps playing in Abu Dhabi, a venue where the fast bowlers have got some help, will help them since they all like the ball coming on to the bat.
Marcus Stoinis, Shimron Hetmyer, and Axar Patel give DC a lot of power in the middle-order. This is an area that DC has an advantage over KKR, especially if Russell continues to miss out.
The real advantage for DC is its bowling. We expect a full-strength bowling lineup with Rabada, Nortje, Axar, and Ashwin in there. The fifth bowler could see a change and we think Harshal Patel may make a comeback in place of Tushar Deshpande.
The conditions in Abu Dhabi have been helpful for the fast bowlers and we think DC will enjoy these conditions much more than KKR.

The murder of Mumbai's 'matka king' Suresh Bhagat last month, allegedly on a supari of Rs 45 lakh, has given a whole new meaning to the term 'hostile takeover'. Matka, which was earlier thought of as a glorified version of the lottery system, finally revealed itself as a lethal game to play, where contracts are paid, people killed and deception is the norm.
Matka Gambling In Kolkata Newspapers
Also known as satta, matka involves people betting on numbers (either two or three digits) and the winner gains 80 times the amount wagered. It originated in Mumbai in the early 1960s and was a big craze in the 1970s and 1980s, until the police cracked down on matka operators in the mid 1990s.
Matka Gambling In Kolkata Delhi
Mumbai's Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime) Rakesh Maria says, 'During the days of first matka operators Ratan Khatri and Kalyanji Bhagat, evidence of matka gambling was also seen in states like Gujarat and Delhi, besides Mumbai. However, with the boom in information technology and communication in the '90s, people from Malaysia, Nepal and also West Asia started betting on numbers. Moreover, earlier, there was an element of luck and fairness to the game. Now, with computers and mobile phones being used by matka operators, the essence of the racket is fixing, with luck playing no role in who bets on the winning number.'
Suresh Bhagat, believed to be running matka operations worth crores of rupees, was killed on June 13 when a truck rammed into the car he was travelling in with five other associates on Alibaug-Pen Highway.
What initially seemed like an accident, turned out to be the result of a conspiracy to eliminate Bhagat and take over his multi-crore matka operations. Police arrested Bhagat's ex-wife, Jaya, and their son, Hitesh, for allegedly hatching the conspiracy. Bhagat had, in fact, informed the Crime Branch of threats to his life, said police officers.
