IPL 2018 | May 17 | Day 41 | Discussion Thread

[RamLakhan]

Should they both have controlled their instincts for just that 1 over? Hmmm....

 

[Justcrazy]

149 / 4


15 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

Grandhomme

 

[Justcrazy]

Grandhomme continues to hit

 

[RamLakhan]

Liked the positive intent of all batsmen, as if they bat till No.8, no fear... Liked this approach... Probably some positive coaching has helped them this match....

 

[Justcrazy]

176 / 4

18 balls remains.

 

[RamLakhan]

I don't think this is such a flat pitch... The batsmen have really taken immense risks and punched above their weights... If they bowl decently as they did off late they can defend this....

 

[RamLakhan]

Take all the risks man... This is do or die match... do it

 

[Justcrazy]

Its going to be a big chase for Sunrisers

 

[Justcrazy]

two hundred up

 

[RamLakhan]

This is why MI and RCB are such exciting teams, because they take it till the end to qualify and put their fans on toes, make sure they hit the stadium without fail! Meanwhile RCB may have just found the perfect XI now!

 

[Justcrazy]

Grandhomme gone but he has done the damage

 

[RamLakhan]

Meanwhile SRH has some issues to sort out...

 

[Sam99]

If srh looses this by big margin then it's gonna be hard for mumbai,kxip & kkr to qualify.

 

[Savage]

Moen should have been picked earlier in the tournament. Baz was stuck with for too long.

I was surprised that he didn't get picked when AB devilliers missed out due to fever for 2 matches.It was Ideal time for moeen to play as Bangalore pitch would've suited him.

 

[RamLakhan]

Meanwhile SRH has some issues to sort out...

They have just 1 match left in Hyderabad! Hopefully they win it to make matters easy for RCB

 

[Savage]

RCB 218/6 after 20 overs

Great finish by RCB

 

[RamLakhan]

Perfect team effort by RCB, this is what we wanted from them... Now that has to be replicated with the bowling...

 

[Justcrazy]

219 is the target

 

[Savage]

WOW Thampi went for 70 runs in his 4 overs(just checked scorecard)

 

[DeadBall]

WOW Thampi went for 70 runs in his 4 overs(just checked scorecard)

Really got thumpied.

 

[Kohli The King of Chase]

Thampi..Lol...70..Is that a record?

 

[Ozymandiasza]

Missed AB and Ali, damnit.

Go RCB!

 

[Justcrazy]

Dhawan and Hales to start the chase.

 

[Justcrazy]

Yadav bowling well here , no loose balls so far

 

[Justcrazy]

dhawan

 

[Gabbar Singh]

Terrible decision.

 

[Justcrazy]

Sunrisers have got good start , but they need to continue finding big overs here

 

[Justcrazy]

dhawan gone

 

[Justcrazy]

williamson

 

[Ozymandiasza]

Has the CT mentally scared Kohli?

He seems different...

 

[Justcrazy]

Sunrisers need to keep on hammering here , no other option , and hope it comes off , calculated risks need to be taken.

 

[Justcrazy]

60 / 1

7 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

Moeen introduced into atatck

 

[Ozymandiasza]

AB and Ali, again

 

[DeadBall]

What a catch by ABDV.

 

[Justcrazy]

two down .

 

[Sam99]

that was good catch but ab surely made it look alot difficult.

 

[Justcrazy]

Pandey

 

[Justcrazy]

Required rate over 13

 

[Hasan123]

Williamson is much improved in LO.

 

[Justcrazy]

pandey

 

[Hasan123]

Would have gone with Shakib instead of Pandey.

 

[Sam99]

pandey

in dreams right?

 

[Sam99]

pandey

that's what happens when you follow online commentry

 

[Justcrazy]

Sunrisers Hyderabad require another 126 runs with 8 wickets and 58 balls remaining

 

[Hasan123]

RCB still favourites from here.

 

[Hasan123]

Pandey sucking the life out of the innings. Don't think he is a fit for T20s.

 

[Hasan123]

Great fielding.

 

[Ozymandiasza]

RCB still favourites from here.

If Sunrisers chase this down someone screwed up, or they actually deserve it

 

[Hasan123]

What a shot by Williamson. Need to get him out asap!

 

[Hasan123]

Siraj surely has to be dropped . He is far too expensive.

 

[Hasan123]

SRH need to target this over.

 

[Hasan123]

3 off 8. Not good enough by Pandey so far.

 

[Justcrazy]

Required rate climbing above 14 now

 

[Hasan123]

Another 50 for Williamson. What a tournament he has had so far.

 

[Hasan123]

Singles aren't good enough here.

 

[Hasan123]

Interesting decision to bring Yadav back into the attack.

 

[Hasan123]

What a shot by Williamson.

 

[Hasan123]

6 for Williamson. What a knock so far.

 

[Ozymandiasza]

Great stuff from Williamson

 

[Ab Fan]

Brilliant batting from Williamson.

 

[Hasan123]

SRH are being allowed back into the game. Some poor bowling by RCB.

 

[Ozymandiasza]

Kohli

I'm telling you guys, he's different.

 

[Justcrazy]

Massive hit

 

[Hasan123]

I hope Williamson can replicate this form in international LO games. More impactful knocks in LO will elevate his status.

 

[Hasan123]

RCB badly need a wicket. Chahal into the attack.

 

[Protea Fan]

Oh common RCB can't lose this if they do then its nothing short of embarrassing i would say

 

[Hasan123]

RCB are choking again.

 

[Hasan123]

Pandey just in.

 

[Hasan123]

Can't afford wides here.

 

[Ozymandiasza]

RCB are choking again.

Let the world note that AB did not choke

 

[Justcrazy]

58 and 26 balls

 

[Aman]

I hope Kane plays with this intent in international cricket.

 

[Justcrazy]

54 from 23 balls , this will be tight , but Royals have edge here

 

[Hasan123]

Good bowling by Southee.

 

[Justcrazy]

Sunrisers Hyderabad require another 49 runs with 8 wickets and 18 balls remaining

 

[Aman]

SRH gotta go for it now.

 

[Hasan123]

Siraj is rubbish. Can't believe he's bowling now.

 

[Aman]

Was Kohli abusing his bowler there? )
