Qualifier: Gujarat Lions vs. Sunrisers Hyderabad

 

[street cricketer]

Torn between which team to support. Like both teams.

But I think SRH will offer better competition in the final to RCB than Gujarat Lions.

 

[Hasan123]

Hope SRH win them nd RCB are the 2 teams I like after rps/csk

 

[MRSN]

is it final today?

No RPS/CSK fan has ever liked Bangalore but that's mostly because Chennai and Bangalore have a massive rivalry eventhough RCB has never won a title

They are the noisy neighbours. It's been a difficult few years for us (United) and a good few years for them (City). But it will take long for them to knock us off our perch

Im a Pakistan the rivalry between the 2 doesn't apply to me

 

[RamLakhan]

Karnataka has neat 8-2 record vs. Tamil Nadu in Ranji Titles.
CSK, RCB don't represent the ethnicity actually (though there is regional support) moreover hardly any regional Player made significant contribution in winning IPL (its more because of Raina, Dhoni's captaincy & Srini's blessings )

Tamil Nadu has a 4-2 record over Karnataka in the Vijay Hazare trophy.

The CSK has a 2-0 record in the IPL and 2-0 record in the Champions League.

Case closed

 

[Hasan123]

Fizz is out of today's game . Lets see if sunrisers can survive without. Glad to see of my favourite bowlers trent Boult gets a game

 

[Hasan123]

Dwivedi outtt

 

[troodon]

Bhuvi is in such an awesome form this IPL.

The good thing is, he upped his pace to 140k and is able to swing the ball too. Terrific stuff from him.

Too bad hes become mediocre since his injury. Got whacked around by Hafeez and Babar. Lets hope he isnt finished since he was great to watch.

 

[street cricketer]

What happened to the Fizz??!!

 

[Executioner]

What happened to the Fizz??!!

Hamstring niggle.

Boult doing well in his stead, but should SRH qualify for the final I think they will risk him against RCB.

 

[Hasan123]

Yes it's a shame hopefully it's just a blip. New zeeland need him back in form with tours to south Africa and India to come. Confident he will get back to his form

 

[Firebreaker]

I think Finch should bat down the order rather than open for Australia as well

 

[Executioner]

Anything close to 160 will be difficult to chase here.

 

[Executioner]

Boult struggling here

 

[Justcrazy]

Hyderabad struggling here.

 

[Justcrazy]

Warner playing a captains knock here, he is the key , he needs to stay till the end.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Boult struggling here

called it

 

[Justcrazy]

four down

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Its all on David Warner. Warner stays till the end of this game, they win the IPL. You heard it here first. Its all about this innings.

 

[Justcrazy]

Just cutting and Ojha left , Sunrisers need a cameo from one of them here, or both

 

[Justcrazy]

Its all on David Warner. Warner stays till the end of this game, they win the IPL. You heard it here first. Its all about this innings.

He needs others to support him.

 

[street cricketer]

Looks like it's bye bye for Hyderabad.

I would like SRH to reach the final because even though they have a weak batting line up, they are the only bowling line up who could pose some test for Bangalore. Gujarat will be cannon fodder at the Chinnaswamy again.

 

[Justcrazy]

81 from 48 balls.

One big over required here.

 

[Justcrazy]

They need to get 11 an over in next two three overs and not let required rate increase.

 

[Justcrazy]

ctting gone , Its over for Hyderabad , unless warner explodes here

 

[marlonbrowndo]

That wasn't out. These IPL umpires take 2 minutes to raise the finger and give the wrong decision. Its like they flip a coin first. Cringeworthy.

 

[street cricketer]

I hate Dinesh Karthik with all my might.

 

[Justcrazy]

by warner .......

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Umpires in the IPL are more vulnerable than a Mirelurk's face

 

[Justcrazy]

Good hits by warner

 

[Justcrazy]

19 from the over. can this be it

 

[street cricketer]

They should perhaps change their name to the Cheating Lions.

 

[Justcrazy]

six down

 

[Ab Fan]

Warner is doing De Villiers here. Not looking good for GL.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

You dont need good bowlers to get wickets in the IPL you need good actors in the 30 yard circle. Ive barely watched it this year but I usually see umpires fall for huge appeals. Drop Devilliers etc and get Robert De Niro and Al Pacino to field. Teams will be all out for 50 odd

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Karthik's appeal wasnt loud enough otherwise it wouldve been given out

 

[street cricketer]

Lol Paindoo kumar embarrassing himself.

 

[Justcrazy]

33 from 16 balls

 

[marlonbrowndo]

What a flick

 

[Justcrazy]

crucial strike ....

 

[Justcrazy]

24 from 12 balls .

Big over coming up.

Sunrisers need to find couple of boundaries here at least.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Tear this Mickey Mouse cricket club level bowler Bravo apart

 

[street cricketer]

C'mon Hyderabad!

You can beat the cheating lions..

 

[Justcrazy]

good start to over

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Wait for every one of Bravos deliveries. Anticipate the slower one. Third man and fine leg are up so it will be one of his gimicky slower ones. Amazing fielding from Finch

 

[Justcrazy]

16 from 9 balls , its getting tight

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Shot of the day from Warner. Charged the bowler. Ball was too slow so he waited and cut it perfectly

 

[street cricketer]

Come on Warney

 

[Justcrazy]

Warner on fire

 

[street cricketer]

Lol Bipul Sharma outshining Warner

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Six! This guy is a good hitter, saw him win the game against KKR like this too. Sunrisers will win the IPL. Club level bowler Bravo fittingly lost them the game.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Lol Bipul Sharma outshining Warner

This guy has amazing domestic stats. Why hasnt he played for India as an all rounder

 

[Prince_]

Warner

 

[street cricketer]

Yesssss!!!

Warney you beauty

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Unbelievably amazing knock from Warner

 

[street cricketer]

This guy has amazing domestic stats. Why hasnt he played for India as an all rounder

I noticed his hitting ability only from the last match. I always thought he was an another bits and pieces player.

He bowls decent and hits the ball sweetly. Probably can try for a match or two.

 

[Justcrazy]

Great batting by Warner

 

[Executioner]

Warner is the star of this tournament no doubt. Kohli and ABDV scored a lot of runs right but in Chinnaswamy mostly. Warner had to score runs on less convenient surfaces and had to single handedly carry the batting for his team

 

[Imran Hasan]

To me Bipul sharma is the hero of this match. Bipul hit 2 sixes that change the momentum. Warner struggled against Kulkarnis over but Bipul cleverly hit that six in that over and again he hit six in last ball of Bravo's penultimate 19 over. He did the same thing against kkr too.

 

[Prince_]

Where is Pravin Kumar with his fake aggression, lol. He looked so ridiculous when he tried to verbally abuse Warner.


Someone should've reminded him his average bowling speed

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Completely agree with you

 

[Executioner]

RCB in Chinnaswamy will be a tough challenge. Perhaps Mustafiz will play the next match

 

[street cricketer]

This guy has amazing domestic stats. Why hasnt he played for India as an all rounder

Just saw his cricinfo page.

Has a first class batting average of almost 44 and bowling average of around 28. Looks more like a batting all rounder but has been used more as a bowler for SRH.

That's an impressive record.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Raina didn't try Jaddu cos Warner was batting?

Shivil the spinner finished with 4 overs 22 runs and 2 wickets.

Even Raina bowled 2 overs for 15 runs.

Yet lost the match.

If Jaddu wasn't injured and could bowl, Raina is a dumbass and blind follower of Dhoni's (offlate) stupid moves that have cost the team a lot.

He pretty much lost the side 2 winnable games.

Give Credit to Warner who played an innings similar to DeVilliers'.

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

Warner's batting has been so insane this IPL.

 

[Executioner]

Can Bipul Sharma be given a BD passport? We need a bowler who can bat.

I think the six over deep square leg boundary off Kulkarni was the turning point.

 

[Ab Fan]

Warneyyy..! You beauty.. The best opener in the world.

 

[Havok]

Warner is the man of hyderabad, literally carying the team on his back.

Yes but was commenting on the Raina issue.

Just wrote about Warner and then saw your post now.

Ofcourse but then he never had to face your ATG Fizz.

I think he must have had a niggle. Otherwise it's a gargantuan brain fa*t of a decision.

 

[street cricketer]

[MENTION=90229]Sandeep[/MENTION] where are ya mate!!

 

[Imran Hasan]

SRH is playing as a unit in recent matches. The final against inform RCB should be a mouthwatering contest. Would love to watch Fizz playing in the final but thats unlikely due to hamstring injury.
