Introduction

Some teams in the 2026 IPL play with a new plan. Some teams are doing well, but other teams have problems.

Main Body

The Gujarat Titans are in first place. They have a good plan for bowling. Their players, Rabada and Siraj, bowl very well at the start. Sai Sudharsan is also a great batter. He has more than 500 runs. The Punjab Kings are in fourth place. They lost four games in a row. They make many mistakes in the field. Also, the team owners and players are angry. They disagree about the fitness of the players. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is only 15 years old. He is a very good player. AB de Villiers says he must play longer games to become a better professional. Now, many players in the league can hit the ball hard and fast.

Conclusion

Comparing Things

In the text, we see a contrast between two types of teams. To reach A2, you need to show the difference between groups using Some and Other.

The Pattern:

Some [group A] $\rightarrow$ [action/quality]
Other [group B] $\rightarrow$ [different action/quality]

Examples from the news:

Some teams are doing well $\rightarrow$ other teams have problems.
Some teams take big risks $\rightarrow$ other teams play carefully.

Why this works: Instead of saying "This team is good and that team is bad," using Some and Other makes your English sound more natural and organized.
