IPL 2020 : Mumbai [195/5 (20)] defeat KKR [146/9 (20)] by 49 runs

[Rajdeep]

Not a single Bengali in Kolkata team. As a bengali, I feel gutted.

 

[cricketjoshila]

There's big difference between Cummins the test bowler and Cummins with white ball in T20s.

Cummins avgs 20.62 in T20Is. Thats ve ry good by any standard.Its better than Shaheen or Amir.

 

[Justcrazy]

KKR need some good shots here , they cannot let required rate go high.

Which Bengali will play? Ranji team is dumps. The best ranji players in Bengal team are not ethnically Bengali either.

Wriddhiman Saha can be handy

plenty of talent. or is it talunt? just kidding. India are stacked. Need to be patient. Too much pressure on these kids. It's very hard to get into the Indian team.

Yeah that's why Iam saying,it's not a magic that you will get according to your wish.

 

[andy0204]

is shami ethnically Bengali?

No he is from UP.

 

[Justcrazy]

41 . 2

7 overs

KKR is getting behind here

 

[Smbhayi]

Lol that was fun in the dug out btw Swann and Styris..

 

[Justcrazy]

138 from 70 balls ....

Match can go down the wire

 

[Ashmal]

Not sure if bowling avg is the best criteria to judge bowlers in T20s.

I am not comparing him with others, all I am saying is that he's someone like Dale Steyn.
A great test bowler but not so great with the white ball so far.

 

[King_Kohli]

Not a single Bengali in Kolkata team. As a bengali, I feel gutted.

Not a single Telugu player from both states in Hyderabad team.

All key Karnataka players are in Punjab team (KL Rahul, Mayank Agarwal, Karun Nair and Krishnappa Gowtham and Jagadeesha Suchith)

Padikkal is the only Karnataka player playing for home team Bangalore.

Delhi boy Kohli never played for Delhi

 

[Justcrazy]

Required rate is just below 12 here , match getting interesting.

 

[tyron_woodley]

gully boy gill got destroyed today.

gully boy mavi is fast but very erratic. Looks and bowls like musa khan. Not impressed at all.

cummins has been trash.

bumrah is just mean killing machine when he is fully fit.

patto has been excellent. Gritty tough bowler.

 

[Justcrazy]

Karthik gone , Morgan comes in.

 

[Hasan123]

There's big difference between Cummins the test bowler and Cummins with white ball in T20s.

Still better than all Pakistan T20 bowlers.

 

[Hasan123]

[MENTION=2099]Cricket[/MENTION]johsilla , I know you support KKR . If you don't quality for the play offs , Baz and Karthik have a lot to answer for. KKR have the quality to at least be in the play offs.

 

[Justcrazy]

KKR is behind here , they need someone to play a solid cameo here

 

[andy0204]

Come on KKR let's do it.

 

[Rana]

Surprised Morgan is allowed to use his CA in the IPL

 

[Hasan123]

This partnership is KKR last hope.

 

[Justcrazy]

115 from 45 balls , its just beyond KKR here

 

[Hasan123]

Pathetic performance by KKR so far.

 

[Hasan123]

Russell or Morgan should have come in ahead of Karthik. Karthik is at his best when finishing.

 

[Justcrazy]

101 from 34 balls , KKR can reach close , but I think will fall short here

 

[JaDed]

Pathetic performance by KKR so far.

Boult, Bumrah ,Pattinson coming one after the other, and somehow Pollard managed to bowl well as well..

 

[Ab Fan]

Credit where due, MI bowled very well. Their team are favourites really. Rohit and de kock at top, Boult, Bumrah and Pattinson pace trio and middle order of Pandya and Pollard.

 

[JattMaula]

Bumrah getting that accuracy and bowling brain working again.

 

[Ashmal]

Great game for Bumrah

 

[OldWarHorse]

Not a single Bengali in Kolkata team. As a bengali, I feel gutted.

Were there any since Dada left?

 

[King_Kohli]

Bumrah 4 overs 32/2

First 3 overs - 5 Runs - 2 wickets.
Last over - 27 Runs.

 

[Rana]

Lol Bumrah

 

[King_Kohli]

Credit where due, MI bowled very well. Their team are favourites really. Rohit and de kock at top, Boult, Bumrah and Pattinson pace trio and middle order of Pandya and Pollard.

Nitish Rana is very good player but no space for him in MI.
Now he is in KKR.

 

[King_Kohli]

15.5 Cr guy Cummins doing batting rather than bowling.

 

[OldWarHorse]

Nitish Rana is very good player but no space for him in MI.
Now he is in KKR.

Need a better spinner than Chahar. Expect him to get carted against the better teams.

 

[King_Kohli]

Need a better spinner than Chahar. Expect him to get carted against the better teams.

Right.
MI spin department is weak.

 

[MenInG]

Most wins against an opponent in IPL

20 MI vs KKR
17 KKR vs KXIP
17 MI vs CSK
16 MI vs RCB
15 CSK vs DC
15 CSK vs RCB

Last 11 matches: MI 10; KKR 1

 

[MenInG]

And the excuses are flowing....

Dinesh Karthik:

Couple of the guys - Cummins and Morgan - just finished their quarantine today, it is hard - playing in the heat and getting used to the conditions

All are following Dhoni.

 

[MenInG]

Rohit Sharma:

I back myself to play the pull shots and have practiced quite a bit. Pretty happy with the performance of my squad. All my shots were good (laughs), can't pick one. I haven't played a lot of cricket in the last six months time and was looking to spend some time in the middle; it didn't come out well in the first innings but glad to have done it tonight. We never knew that the IPL would happen in the UAE so we wanted a pace attack that was strong for the Wankhede. But the ball was seaming around for the first six overs over here as well. We haven't played much with Trent Boult and Pattinson,

 

[sweep_shot]

What about gill?

What? KKR is the strongest team in this IPL.

Narine
Gill
Morgan
Nitish Rana
Russel
DK

Two very good Indian locals with Gill being best young batsman in India, and Nitish Rana is also a good player.

Cummins
Mavi
Warrier
Kuldeep

Give a better XI than this.

See? Mumbai manhandled KKR.
