Indian Premier League (Eliminator) - 6th November, 2020 - SRH defeat RCB by 6 wickets

[MenInG]

When: Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Royal Challengers Bangalore, Eliminator, November 6, 18:00 Local, 19:30 IST

Where: Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi

What to expect: The toss at Abu Dhabi will be significant once more with the last five fixtures all having won by the chasing team.

[Hasan123]

I think this will be a close game. SRH have the momentum but RCB can't be ruled out with ABDV in there ranks!

 

[King_Kohli]

Rashid Khan v RCB in the IPL

Innings : 7
Wickets : 8
Economy : 7.78 rpo
Balls per Boundary : 6.5

Conceding at 7.78 rpo v RCB - it's the costliest of all opposition for Rashid.

 

[King_Kohli]

Lets finish today.
Want to take a break.

 

[Rana]

SRH should fancy their chances

 

[choudhary6964]

I support them due to moeen but I can't believe moeen ali only played 2 games for this team and instead that trundler ultra slow bowler isuru udana played so many games.If moeen plays today then i hope they win this one.

 

[Hasan123]

Lets finish today.
Want to take a break.

You don't want RCB to win?

 

[King_Kohli]

Chris Morris was seen limping in Kohli's birthday party. It would be a big hit for RCB's balance.

 

[King_Kohli]

You don't want RCB to win?

No hopes. Both Morris and Saini injured.
They are half fit.

 

[King_Kohli]

Sunrisers Hyderabad have won the toss and have opted to field

Done and Dusted.
We lost toss again.

 

[Hasan123]

No hopes. Both Morris and Saini injured.
They are half fit.

With CSK out I would like RCB to win. But if those 2 are out it is going to be difficult for RCB to win.

 

[Hasan123]

Saha out with injury.

 

[Rana]

Sunrisers Hyderabad have won the toss and have opted to field

Done and Dusted.
We lost toss again.

Be strong pal. 180 will do the job

 

[Rana]

Saha dropped so Bairstow can play

 

[Hasan123]

I would like RCB to win the tournament but don't mind if DC or SRH win the tournament. Don't want Mumbai winning it every year. But they are extremely well run and fully deserve their success.

 

[Hasan123]

Saha dropped so Bairstow can play

He is injured not dropped.

 

[King_Kohli]

Saha misses out with an injury, Goswami replaces him.

 

[King_Kohli]

Teams:

Royal Challengers Bangalore (Playing XI): Aaron Finch, Devdutt Padikkal, Virat Kohli(c), AB de Villiers(w), Moeen Ali, Washington Sundar, Shivam Dube, Navdeep Saini, Adam Zampa, Mohammed Siraj, Yuzvendra Chahal

Sunrisers Hyderabad (Playing XI): David Warner(c), Shreevats Goswami(w), Manish Pandey, Kane Williamson, Priyam Garg, Jason Holder, Abdul Samad, Rashid Khan, Shahbaz Nadeem, Sandeep Sharma, T Natarajan

 

[King_Kohli]

Be strong pal. 180 will do the job

Lost all crucial tosses
Lets hope

 

[Rana]

Saha misses out with an injury, Goswami replaces him.

Not playing Bairstow is going to bite them back

 

[King_Kohli]

Chris Morris misses out with a quad injury, Joshua Phillipe is out as well. Aaron Finch is back, so is Adam Zampa. Saini replaces Shahbaz Ahmed

 

[King_Kohli]

Stat: 11th toss won by Warner in IPL 2020. In eight-team editions, only Rohit Sharma in 2017 & MS Dhoni in 2018 has won as often. Not to mention, Rohit & Dhoni went to win the IPL in the respective seasons.

 

[choudhary6964]

So moeen is playing today.Better late than never.

 

[Rana]

180 and I’m backing RCB to win this

 

[RamLakhan]

Only two seamers (including Siraj). So we will bowl in the death overs if its a close game?

 

[MenInG]

Teams:

Royal Challengers Bangalore (Playing XI): Aaron Finch, Devdutt Padikkal, Virat Kohli(c), AB de Villiers(w), Moeen Ali, Washington Sundar, Shivam Dube, Navdeep Saini, Adam Zampa, Mohammed Siraj, Yuzvendra Chahal

Sunrisers Hyderabad (Playing XI): David Warner(c), Shreevats Goswami(w), Manish Pandey, Kane Williamson, Priyam Garg, Jason Holder, Abdul Samad, Rashid Khan, Shahbaz Nadeem, Sandeep Sharma, T Natarajan

Sunrisers Hyderabad have won the toss and have opted to field

 

[Rana]

Chahal
Sundar
Zampa
Moeen

4 proper spinners on display. Come on Kohli don’t mess this up!

 

[Hasan123]

Moen Ali deserves a chance. Interested to see how Zampa does.

 

[King_Kohli]

RCB playing with only 2 pacers
and 4 spinners.

Big gamble

 

[King_Kohli]

Moen Ali deserves a chance. Interested to see how Zampa does.

Hope Ali score some runs today.

 

[Rajdeep]

Sunrisers Hyderabad have won the toss and have opted to field

Done and Dusted.
We lost toss again.

Cheer up bro. With Shivam Dube in the side, its very difficult to beat RCB. I have a feeling he will come to the party tonight.

 

[Hasan123]

Hope Ali score some runs today.

Takes some pressure off AB and Kohli knowing Ali will be there to smash spinners in the middle and to finish.

 

[Hasan123]

[MENTION=139595]Ab Fan[/MENTION] , Finch is playing .

 

[Ab Fan]

RCB will win this game.

 

[Hasan123]

Hopefully we get a close last few games. This has been a brilliant IPL. Deserves to finish with some close games.

 

[Hasan123]

Kohli is opening. Why play Finch if he isn't going to open lol?

 

[RamLakhan]

Kohli is opening

 

[Rana]

[MENTION=151307]King_Kohli[/MENTION] we wanted Kohli to open. He is today

 

[Hasan123]

Sandeep Sharma has a good record against Kohli. High risk strategy by RCB here.

 

[Hasan123]

Kohli will aim to bat through and set it up for AB and Moen to finish the innings.

 

[Hasan123]

Kohli would probably open for India in T20s if it wasn't for Dhwaan and KL.

 

[Mesozoic]

Supporting RCB today. Will support them again against Delhi walas.

Akhir final mein Kohli ki beizzati bhi toh dekhni hain woh bhi Hitman ke haathon.....

 

[Hasan123]

It's remarkable how SRH have gotten to the play offs without Bhuvi Kumar.

 

[Hasan123]

Jason Holder has definitely improved in LO.

 

[Hasan123]

Holder strikes. What a player man.

 

[Rana]

Surely that was thigh pad?

 

[Rajdeep]

Surely that was thigh pad?

Exactly. It was clearly not out

 

[Hasan123]

Holder
Bhuvi
Rashid Khan
Sandeep
Natarajan

That is a decent attack. SRH may want to strengthen their batting, but next season I would expect them to have a good season.

 

[RamLakhan]

RCB has already messed with selection and batting order!

 

[Hasan123]

RCB choking when it matters again.

 

[Rana]

Exactly. It was clearly not out

Kohli walked. And there was a small snick on the glove. Soft dismissal for a big player.

 

[RamLakhan]

Holder
Bhuvi
Rashid Khan
Sandeep
Natarajan

That is a decent attack. SRH may want to strengthen their batting, but next season I would expect them to have a good season.

They will reach the finals this season too

 

[Rana]

You could be blind and still know that Finch has zero timing out there

 

[Rana]

Trevor Bayliss. Great coach

I would love this guy to give us 2 years before the world cup

 

[silentkiller187]

de villiers and moeen going to be key here

 

[Hasan123]

SRH aren't going to be easy to beat.

 

[Hasan123]

AB has to come out now.

 

[ShoonyaSifar]

4 changes for the knockout match, changes the opening combo. Only Kohli is allowed to make such horrible mistakes tournament after tournament yet remains the captain of India and RCB.

 

[Hasan123]

If Mitch Marsh didn't get injured, Holder would be watching the tournament from home!

 

[tyron_woodley]

bounce billo bounce billo bounce on my own

 

[Rana]

bounce billo bounce billo bounce on my own

Lol who’s bouncing on their own?

 

[RamLakhan]

4 changes for the knockout match, changes the opening combo. Only Kohli is allowed to make such horrible mistakes tournament after tournament yet remains the captain of India and RCB.

IPL is the best example why Kohli should not captain Indian Team! (Similarly Ravi Shastri is the kind of coach who is similar to RCB management - only talk & no tactics!)

 

[Hasan123]

Warner and Holder add leadership, but I'm sure Kane Williamson and Trevor Bayliss are having a big say in how SRH are set up tactically.

 

[silentkiller187]

we always talk about kohli the captain when things are going well, but some of the decisions he makes, especially in crunch knockout games makes me wonder if he is actually just a front and whether he is actually a good leader and tactician.

 

[Hasan123]

Looks a difficult pitch to time. RCB spinners need something to defend.

 

[RamLakhan]

we always talk about kohli the captain when things are going well, but some of the decisions he makes, especially in crunch knockout games makes me wonder if he is actually just a front and whether he is actually a good leader and tactician.

Not just that, Kohli also lost his magical batting sense as soon as he took over captaincy!

 

[silentkiller187]

Not just that, Kohli also lost his magical batting sense as soon as he took over captaincy!

Maybe its time for india to try Rohit in LOI's , let Kohli focus on his batting and tests.

 

[RamLakhan]

Bizarre batting by RCB...

 

[Hasan123]

Chance for Moen Ali to show his worth.

 

[silentkiller187]

haha moeen out on a free hit, first time ive seen that

 

[Hasan123]

Moen runs himself out. Pathetic cricket from RCB.

 

[Gabbar Singh]

Lol why did he run?

 

[silentkiller187]

Lol why did he run?

Hes a brainless cricketer, has a lot of talent but most of the time he throws his own wicket away

 

[Hasan123]

All on AB now. He should try and bat till the 20th over.

 

[RamLakhan]

Hopefully both RCB & India has a different captain next year!

 

[King_Kohli]

I am crying

Bye bye.

 

[Hasan123]

For next year RCB need to sign a top class overseas fast bowler to partner Morris and a top class middle order player.

 

[Hasan123]

Positive for RCB that AB is still there.

 

[Hasan123]

Rashid Khan overs are finished and AB still there. RCB hanging on by a thread.
