So my niece Laiba has just pronounced the word "IPL" as "Eepal", pronouncing the three letters together as one.

As for the ongoing match, the wicket looks like a good one for batting. Seems like that it´ll be a high-scoring affair. Here´s hoping for a good game.

 

[Justcrazy]

77 . 1

11 overs

Both batsmen set , Hyderabad needs to explode here

 

[Justcrazy]

Both the batsmen here now need to take calculated chances

 

[Justcrazy]

Warner not batting fluently here.

 

[Justcrazy]

Four

100 up for Hyderabad !!!

 

[Justcrazy]

SIXX

Warner launches that one !

 

[Justcrazy]

113 . 1

30 balls left

Hyderabads need to look at 50 more runs here

 

[Ab Fan]

Warner playing for stats

 

[Ab Fan]

What an absymal XI SRH has. No Samad and no Abhishek.

Pandey playing well today though.

 

[Ab Fan]

Faf's catching skills is among the best of all-time.

 

[Justcrazy]

Hyderabad need 22 runs in 12 balls to reach 160 , can they get there

 

[Ab Fan]

Williamson 23*(6)

 

[krikit]

And people think Babar is better than Williamson

 

[Justcrazy]

Williamson 25 from 8 balls !!!

Splendid hitting

Samad is injured.. Abhishek make way for Sandeep..

 

[Justcrazy]

And people think Babar is better than Williamson

Babar is Not that bad of a player , as people making him to be. He is among the top 10 batsmen in all formats , its not easy thing to do . To replace a player like Kohli from the top spot does not happen every day.

He's very good but the each of the top guys all just something extra that Babar hasn't shown so far.

 

[Justcrazy]

172 runs is target for Chennai !

 

[Justcrazy]

He's very good but the each of the top guys all just something extra that Babar hasn't shown so far.

In Test Matches Kane is ahead , but in shorter formats, Babar has far better record.

Babar in OD scores @56 plus
Williamson scores @47

Both have 13 hundreds .

Babar in 78 williamson in 144 innings

In 20 20

Babar has 2000 runs in 52 innings averaging 47

Williamson has 1800 runs in 65 innings averaging 31

What is the extra?

 

[Justcrazy]

Lot of swing , Sandeep is making the ball nip back !

 

[Ab Fan]

Both Babar and Kane are legends of the game. It is undue respect to both of them if either of them are demeaned by fans and an apology must be served for the same.

Neither of the Fab 4 are the best T20 players out there but with the exception of Root, each of them have shown that they possess that 6th gear (Root is more 5th gear) which Babar doesn't (no The Blast and SA B team don't count). They can be 20(20) and still get to 70(40) at the back end. As long as they are their, you have hope even in difficult chases and low scoring 1st innings
Obviously they are not as consistent as Babar in T20I for some reason but you could do the same analysis for AB and Kohli's T20I stats but we can see them playing together and clearly see who the superior batsman is.

It is obviously Test matches which are the reason for their supremacy but they can be match winners in LOI too.

 

[Justcrazy]

67 for no loss after 8 overs

Hyderabad bowling not able to make in roads into Chennai batting here

I am not talking about AB , he does not play International Cricket , you need to refute my arguument with the player you mentioned , that is Williamson .

 

[Ab Fan]

Samad is injured.. Abhishek make way for Sandeep..

Is Bhuvi injured too?

 

[Justcrazy]

Chennai and RCB are two strongest sides this year , if we see them in final it will not be surprising

 

[Justcrazy]

Out

Rashid strikes , probably too late

 

[Justcrazy]

Rashid finishes with three wickets , but has been a tad expensive today , that is why Hyderabad did not make that much impact.

 

[Justcrazy]

Hyderabad need to drop Warner and play Jason Holder in the team.

 

[Justcrazy]

Super Kings won by 7 wickets (with 9 balls remaining)

 

[sindhiboy]

It seems like Babar azam like t20 50s are more common than we think
First rishabh pant losing the match with a slow 50 and now Warner.

 

[Hasan123]

An easy win for CSK. SRH looks hopeless right now. Will need to win every game to have a chance of getting to the play offs. They are too reliant on Warner and Bairstow with the bat. That middle order is too weak. Also Bhuvi and Natrajaan being out under strengths their bowling. Tbf I didn’t think they would get to the play offs but expected them to perform better than this.
