[King_Kohli]

KXIP:
Mayank Agarwal and Jimmy Neesham miss out and Mandeep Singh and Chris Jordan come in.

 

[King_Kohli]

SRH
Khaleel Ahmed comes in for Nadeem.

 

[Ab Fan]

KXIP:
Mayank Agarwal and Jimmy Neesham miss out and Mandeep Singh and Chris Jordan come in.

Is Mayank injured?

 

[King_Kohli]

Is Mayank injured?

We understand Mayank is out following bruises sustained during that run-out in the last match. He should be available for the next game.

 

[King_Kohli]

Mandeep sing dad passed away this morning.

 

[King_Kohli]

Mandeep Singh is opening alongside KL Rahul, and the broadcasters say he lost his father earlier today. Props to him for coming out to play. He is at the non-striker's end. KXIP wearing black armbands today.

 

[Smbhayi]

Gayle gone.. now get Nicholas P early.. He's the one i feared a lot.. SRH bowling simply suits his batting style..

 

[Justcrazy]

66 . 3

10 overs

Sunrisers would be happy here with their effort so far

 

[Smbhayi]

Rashid Khan such a wonderful bowler.. he's really a king in T20s..

 

[Smudger]

One can only laugh when some morons compare Rahul to AB. Rahul has not even got 60 percent of AB's ability

 

[Justcrazy]

Punjab needs to get going here and accelerate here

 

[Ab Fan]

Natarajan should be in contention for T20 internationals. Very good with Yorkers. Will do well alongside Bumrah.

 

[Justcrazy]

Maxwell gone ....

Punjab sinks further in the hole.

 

[Justcrazy]

Punjab would be aiming for 140 here

 

[Smbhayi]

Good bowling by Sandeep Sharma today, 29/2 by him.. He's always been good for SRH.. This is how he should be used, bowl him out before 16th over.. and another wicket gone, Rashid Strikes, Hooda gone for none..

 

[Smbhayi]

And Rashid Khan finish with 2/14.. Brilliant bowling by him..

 

[Rana]

Such a boring match. Struggling to stay awake

 

[Ab Fan]

Indian bowlers in contention for WT20 as per performance in IPL 2020:-

Bumrah
Bhuvi
Shami
Saini
Chahar
Natarajan

We will see if any new name gets added after IPL 2021 or not. I have my eyes on Kartik Tyagi for next year though.

 

[Smbhayi]

KXIP reaches 100 in 101 ball..

 

[Smbhayi]

Look like they're waiting for Holder over..

 

[Justcrazy]

101 . 5

18 balls left

 

[Hasan123]

Jason Holder is making a good impact at SRH.

 

[Smbhayi]

Holder also bowled out, good outing by him too, 2/27 by him..

 

[Smbhayi]

First boundary since the 7th over..

 

[Smbhayi]

Poor by Khaleel, that'd been run out if he comes to stump

 

[Ab Fan]

Natarajan is brilliant.

 

[deep82]

Natrajan has to be most consistent Yorker bowler in India. Brillant stuff by him.

Yorker after Yorker. Bowled the maximum Yorkers in death overs in IPL 2020.

 

[Smbhayi]

Excellent last over by NataraJan..

 

[Justcrazy]

127 runs is the target

 

[Smbhayi]

Natrajan has to be most consistent Yorker bowler in India. Brillant stuff by him.

Yorker after Yorker. Bowled the maximum Yorkers in death overs in IPL 2020.

More than 50 Yorkers by him this ipl.. Despite playing only few games Bravo is second, 21 Yorkers by him and Shami is 3rd, 18 Yorkers by him..

 

[Hasan123]

Thought this would be a close game . But seems as though as usual Pubjab choked under pressure.

Delhi,Punjab, and RCB are the franchises which choke the most under pressure.

 

[Mesozoic]

All over for Punjab.

 

[Ab Fan]

It's between Hyderabad and Kolkata after today's match.

 

[Smbhayi]

BTW I don't like umpires decision making.. They should be consistent with their decision.. If batsman moved across and bowler bowled outside wide line they sometimes calls it wide and sometimes don't.. (personally I feel it should be wide if it's outside wide line no matter where batsman stand)..

 

[Hasan123]

It's between Hyderabad and Kolkata after today's match.

Pubjab are playing KKR on Monday. Wouldn't rule them out yet.

 

[Smbhayi]

It's between Hyderabad and Kolkata after today's match.

More like KKR, they 3 easy games left against KXIP, CSK & RR.. SRH have 3 games left against top 3 (or both KKR & SRH can make it to play-offs and one off top 3 can't, I'd like to see that happens )

 

[Smbhayi]

Anyway it can be a tricky chase since how badly Nicholas struggles to hit out.. Seems like two-paced pitch..

 

[Smbhayi]

Jason Holder is making a good impact at SRH.

TBH if SRH had decentish middle order I'd have opted for Stanley..

 

[Hasan123]

Absolutely unreal shot from Warner.

 

[Hasan123]

TBH if SRH had decentish middle order I'd have opted for Stanley..

He did well initially and they don't even pick him now. They need to try and sort their middle order out.

 

[King_Kohli]

SRH has better run rate than KKR.
They just need to match the 4th place team points.

 

[Ab Fan]

More like KKR, they 3 easy games left against KXIP, CSK & RR.. SRH have 3 games left against top 3 (or both KKR & SRH can make it to play-offs and one off top 3 can't, I'd like to see that happens )

Given the matches that KKR and SRH have left, I think it won't be wrong to say that the chances of SRH are slim now and KKR will eventually be in top 4 alongside other three teams.

It is also very unlikely that anyone of MI, RCB or DD will lose all their games.

 

[Smbhayi]

David Warner last Nine innings vs #KXIP
52(40)
58(41)
81(52)
59(31)
52(41)
70(54)*
51(27)
70(62)*
81(56)

He's well set 10th straight fifty against them (hope I'm not jinxing him)..

 

[Justcrazy]

Sunrisers motoring along

48 in 31 balls !!

Well if RCB lose against MI SRH can displace them if we win all remaining games..

 

[Justcrazy]

OUT

Warner gone !!!!

 

[Smbhayi]

To me thats not out, it was handle hitting pads, missed 10th straight fifty

 

[Ab Fan]

Well if RCB lose against MI SRH can displace them if we win all remaining games..

RCB has 4 matches left, they will have to lose three, only losing against MI won't work. Also, KkR has to lose to SRH and win rest and SRH has to win all.

But its not happening

 

[Justcrazy]

OUT

Ashwin strikes

Punjab coming in with 2 quick wickets here

 

[King_Kohli]

SRH middle order exposed

 

[Rana]

2 quick wickets here and game on

 

[Ab Fan]

Vijay Shankar has been impressive this year.

 

[Smbhayi]

Vijay Shankar has been impressive this year.

He don't have power game, was impressive with his bowling last two outings..

 

[Smbhayi]

RCB has 4 matches left, they will have to lose three, only losing against MI won't work. Also, KkR has to lose to SRH and win rest and SRH has to win all.

But its not happening

Thought they've only three left ..

 

[Smbhayi]

Lol SRH losing this match..

 

[Smbhayi]

Should've send Rashid next.. Garg is not big hitter

 

[King_Kohli]

Super over please.

 

[Smbhayi]

Who sends this Garg guy, that's in a slot and he just push for single.. And Holder is out..

 

[Ab Fan]

Super over please.

Yes please

 

[Smbhayi]

 

[King_Kohli]

Lol..
This match reminds RCB vs SRH first match.
SRH collapsed same way.

 

[Smbhayi]

Too much shuffling on batting order cost this match for SRH..

 

[King_Kohli]

Yes please

Punjab not allowing.

 

[King_Kohli]

Absolute Garbage.

 

[Ab Fan]

How can't they chase 127? Shambolic.

 

[King_Kohli]

SRH Indian batsmen are horrible except Pandey.

 

[Ab Fan]

Jason Holder being an experienced player should have seen SRH through.

Anyways, so here we are now in the race of playoffs:-

KKR next three matches:-

Punjab
Chennai
Rajasthan

KXIP next three matches:-

Kolkata
Rajasthan
Chennai

KKR vs KXIP on Monday is gonna be a blockbuster and it is in Sharjah.

Sharjah is a low scoring venue these days..

 

[Smbhayi]

SRH Indian batsmen are horrible except Pandey.

Even then I believe sending Samad and Garg ahead of Shankar and Rashid was turning point of the match..

 

[MenInG]

 

[Rana]

Respect KL Rahul. Pulled off a real thriller here

 

[MenInG]

SRH lost 10 wickets for 58 runs.

Should calls for a stewards inquiry!

 

[Rana]

Mad respect for Bishnoi, Ashwin, Jordan and Arshdeep. Great character shown by the bowlers.

 

[Saj]

Strange game of cricket that.

How on earth did SRH lose.
