IPL 2021 Match 5 - MI 152 all out defeat KKR 142/7 by 10 runs

[OMB]

I hope MI don't adopt this script - slow starter and eventual winner. What if it fails

 

[Justcrazy]

141 . 7

8 balls to go.

 

[Justcrazy]

KKR would be happy to chase 160 runs.

 

[Hasan123]

KKR look very strong. Nagakoti and Mavi can replace Krishna on quicker wickets, they also have Narine and Cutting as options.

They usually don’t do well against Mumbai as well. So this would be a good confidence booster for them.

[Justcrazy]

153 is the Target for KKR !!!

 

[Hasan123]

MI may need to rethink their strategy. The current line up is suited to their home conditions and flat pitches. They are playing a lot of games in Chennai, they may need to fit in another spinner.

 

[OMB]

MI - 152 / (20 ov)

 

[Hasan123]

KKR really should be winning this.

 

[Justcrazy]

19 after 3 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

KKR need to bat smart here , 153 is not that big target , If I was coach I would promote Harbhajjan to see how is he batting

 

[Justcrazy]

This is ideal target for Gill , does not need to go all out .

 

[Justcrazy]

KKR has batted sensibly here , good chance for them to go ahead in run rate here

 

[Ab Fan]

Looks like two losses in row coming for MI.

 

[Justcrazy]

KKR need 103 runs in 78 balls. RRR: 7.92

KKR need to keep required rate within 8

 

[Sunzi]

Pollard serving up haleem with garma-garam naan to Rana here.

Yum-yum.

 

[Sunzi]

Threw it away did Gill.

 

[Ab Fan]

I think kKR are struggling to use Shakib's batting in T20s. He is not an out and out ball striker so should be used in top 4 only, maybe even at 3.

 

[Justcrazy]

KKR need 49 runs in 43 balls. RRR: 6.83

 

[Sunzi]

KKR won't get a better chance than this but they're not making it easy for themselves. Still KKRs to lose.

 

[silentkiller187]

would be hilarious if Rohit is ruled out for the rest of the tournament injuring himself trying to bowl of 2 steps

 

[Hasan123]

KKR are still favourites here. But credit to Mumbai for making a game of it.

 

[Justcrazy]

4 - 27 from 4 overs

Excellent spell by Chahar

 

[Hasan123]

Lol KKR are losing the plot here.

 

[Justcrazy]

OUT

5 wickets down , poor stuff by KKR

 

[Justcrazy]

KKR need sensible batting in next 2 overs and get close to target

 

[Hasan123]

KKR aggressive approach seems to be the way Morgan and Mcculum want to go about things.

 

[Sunzi]

KKR "peak-Pak'ing" it here.

 

[Justcrazy]

stokes out of ipl with finger injury.........

 

[Justcrazy]

These two have to get KKR home

 

[Hasan123]

KKR are choking here. IPL is so tight a loss here could prove costly.

 

[Hasan123]

Bad drop.

 

[Hasan123]

Bumrah vs Russell the key contest.

 

[Justcrazy]

KKR need 23 runs in 19 balls. RRR: 7.26

 

[silentkiller187]

seems like no one wants this game

 

[Hasan123]

Russell looks clueless against Krunal.

 

[Rana]

Bumrah continues to choke in this game

 

[WengerOut]

Indias greatest ever choker is Bumrah.

 

[Rana]

Top overs by Krunal btw

 

[Smbhayi]

Bumrah never look like taking that skier..

 

[Rana]

Don’t bowl Boult in the 19th!

 

[Ab Fan]

Krunal with his variations has always been a good T20 bowler.

 

[Hasan123]

Another close game it seems. The only game which hasn’t been close it Delhi vs Chennai.

What a tournament man. 2 months of this.

 

[WengerOut]

Krunal with his variations has always been a good T20 bowler.

No. He was massaacred by Aus and Eng. Just the pitch.

 

[Rana]

Above 13 to get in the last over and Boult will defend it

 

[Hasan123]

KKR will want to chase 10 or less off the final over. Anything more would be difficult.

 

[Justcrazy]

KKR are messing this up here , they need a big hit somewhere

 

[Hasan123]

Good so far from Bumrah.

 

[Ab Fan]

No. He was massaacred by Aus and Eng. Just the pitch.

Which format and when?

 

[Rana]

Kya baat hai Bumrah!

 

[Justcrazy]

Very mediocre batting KKR , they do not deserve to win

 

[WengerOut]

Dodgy speed guns. Slower balls are clocked over 140

 

[Hasan123]

What an over from Bumrah.

 

[Rana]

Backing Boult to defend this

 

[Justcrazy]

MI will win this , 15 off last over is not easy , you need 2 sixes

 

[Hasan123]

Russell will back himself against Boult. AB took him apart in the 1st game.

 

[Ab Fan]

Except de Villiers, no cricketer can take on Bumrah in the death overs with the same ease. Not even Russell who has often struggled vs Bumrah especially.

 

[Rana]

14 of 5

 

[guna]

KKR choking badly here. They should have never been in this situation.

 

[Hasan123]

Ah not sure about Karthik.

 

[Rana]

Leg stump yorker

 

[Smbhayi]

Lol what a choke from KKR.. it's all due to Morgan-Mccullum combo..

 

[Hasan123]

Lol knew Karthik was going to try something like that.

 

[Rana]

13 off 4

 

[guna]

KKR need a six.

 

[Rana]

Well the Disastrous investment needs two sixes

 

[Hasan123]

Lol what a choke from KKR.. it's all due to Morgan-Mccullum combo..

No team ever made Mccullum captain in franchise cricket despite his success with NZ.

Makes you wonder......

 

[Justcrazy]

Russell is weak point of KKR , Bring in Cutting.

 

[Smbhayi]

And Russell out.. Lol..

 

[WengerOut]

Which format and when?

My bad. Aus and NZ. He was beaten to pulp by Eng in ODI series. No difference between ODI and T20 in getting obliterated.

 

[guna]

Its over now. KKR cannot hit 2 sixes here.

 

[WengerOut]

Well the Disastrous investment needs two sixes

Investment was for bowling

 

[Hasan123]

Morgan and Mcculum duo needs to be replaced if this KKR team don’t get to the play offs.

 

[Justcrazy]

13 from 3 balls against Boult , not possible.

 

[Hasan123]

What a ball.

 

[Rana]

Hahaahahahahahahahahahahahah

$2.2M to have your poles out of the park!!!

 

[Smbhayi]

Cummins clean bowled..

 

[Rana]

Whoooos your daddy nooooooow IPL!!!

 

[Hasan123]

All on Harbajaan.......

 

[guna]

KKR what a shame.
