MI needs to win this one if they have any thoughts of qualifying for the play-offs.

Im almost without hope this ipl. We cant make a miraculous comeback every year. And teams like Punjab who were rubbish are decent now.

Punjab are a bit like RCB, they hit very high sometimes and very low mostly, but finally they won't hold the crown anyways!

Quote about IPL from the thesaurus:

IPL is a mega tournament where 8 teams battle out for supremacy and in the end Kohli's team chokes and get out.

 

[troodon]

No BK today. he is not playing today.

Hope Khaleel Ahmed gets a chance.

Do it SRH. KKR played Mavi and Gill. DD played Shaw. Give youngsters a chance... Want to see what this Khaleel Ahmed is made of. India can use as many quicks as they can at this point.

Sandeep Sharma is in SRH right ??

 

[troodon]

Sandeep Sharma is in SRH right ??

I know. Sandeep will play for sure. But I want to see Khaleel in action. If he can be anything like Avesh Khan, then India has a lot of options to pick from for the future.

 

[Sam99]

Sandeep Sharma is in SRH right ??

yes and should play in place of bhuvi. I have seen him swinging more than bhuvi but he doesn't have pace and tricks which bhuvi has.

 

[jagatk]

I would bench Polly for this one. I like the big man but staring down the barrel we can't afford to carry him now on.

 

[WengerOut]

Basil Thampi playing

 

[jagatk]

With stanlake's injury there go SRH's chances of winning the ipl.

 

[Sam99]

Mumbai looks like are winning next 3 matches for sure.

 

[MMHS]

Is MI playing most home games in first half?

 

[troodon]

Saha is a useless batsman.

 

[King Kong]

Tom Moody is usually a good coach, but his selections have been pretty average so far. Why would you weaken the already weakened batting lineup? What's the need for both Shakib and Nabi in the XI?

Hales
Dhawan
Williamson
Manish
Hooda/Yousuf
Shakib/Nabi
Saha
Rashid
Bhuvi
Sandeep
Thampi

This XI is much better.

 

[troodon]

Pandey with yet another useless innings. If this guy is in WC 2019 squad in the middle order, then I don't know what to say.

 

[King Kong]

SRH deserve this!!

 

[troodon]

MI can shutdown SRH for under 100 here. Very poor batting line up SRH has.

 

[rhony]

SRH doesn't deserve a play off spot

 

[King Kong]

SRH is the most boring team in this IPL. Heck even DD who aren't winning anything have some exciting players in the form of Pant, Maxwell and youngsters like Prithvi and Avesh. SRH should get in Hales and Khaleel for the next match.

whole team was dependent on warner and without him looks like pune warrior now.

 

[Justcrazy]

Poor batting by Sunrisers here

 

[Justcrazy]

Sunrisers need few wickets here , to spice up the match

 

[Justcrazy]

first wicket

 

[Sam99]

yes and should play in place of bhuvi. I have seen him swinging more than bhuvi but he doesn't have pace and tricks which bhuvi has.

showing how much more he can swing compared to bhuvi.

 

[Justcrazy]

Couple of more wickets will make match interesting

 

[Sam99]

Couple of more wickets will make match interesting

expect rohit to nick sandeep then

 

[Justcrazy]

three wickets down

 

[Hasan123]

SRH would have had this game for certain had they got 140.

Kane is a very good tactican.

 

[Smbhayi]

yeah that's it. come on srh

 

[Send1983]

Seriously? Another game are we losing? I will take a break of watching IPL if MI loses this game. Can’t take it anymore.

[gani999]

Come on Kane, bring on Rashid now.

[Justcrazy]

Pollard

 

[Justcrazy]

[Justcrazy]

Rashid gets Pollard

 

[Smbhayi]

[Sam99]

How come every match this year is going till last over. Something is fishy.

 

[Justcrazy]

2 for 11 from 3 overs

[WengerOut]

Oh dear !!

 

[Hasan123]

High quality bowling from SRH

 

[Tyler Durden]

Let's see if India's next Kapil Dev can win this match for MI.

 

[Savage]

6 down

 

[Hasan123]

Going to be difficult for Mumbai to qualify if they don't win today.

 

[Hasan123]

Williamson may not have the personality of a leader but he's a good tactican.

 

[Smbhayi]

good over from Thampi. 2 runs and a wicket

 

[Justcrazy]

down

 

[Smbhayi]

out

 

[WengerOut]

This isn't funny anymore

 

[Smbhayi]

look like inside edge

 

[Hasan123]

SRH bowling is gun. Said it at the start of the tournament. As long as they get the runs, I don't see many teams chasing against SRH.

 

[Hasan123]

MI tail doesn't look very strong

 

[Hasan123]

Hardik is the key wicket.

 

[Justcrazy]

seven down

 

[gani999]

True, if any team here can defend 118, it is SRH.

 

[Hasan123]

Well bowled by Kaul.

 

[Justcrazy]

8 down now.

 

[WengerOut]

Well..well..well
