IPL 2021 - RCB (160/8) beat MI (159/9) by 2 wickets

[Devadwal]

I don't know how Harshal patel is find a place in team .

 

[Smbhayi]

Super shot by SKY..

 

[Justcrazy]

MI looking for 200 here

 

[silentkiller187]

Kohli real captaining abilities show through when he skippers RCB non of the exceptional indian talent to pull him out of the hole.

 

[Zeshan547]

Even after all these years RCB mantra of having powerful batting (atleast on paper) and rubbish bowlers haven't change, hence neither the results.

 

[Justcrazy]

MI have huge fire power for last 5 overs

 

[Hasan123]

He will get smacked too. It's gonna be fun

Lol. Don't you want your boy ABs team to win?

 

[Hasan123]

This is some awful bowling. Kane Richardson may have been a better pick than Jamieson or Christian here.

 

[Smbhayi]

Beautifully cut to four by sky

 

[Nikhil_cric]

RCB getting trashed again. What a surprise!

 

[Hasan123]

I saw that Chris Lynn and Dan Christian did a lot of training together just before setting off for the IPL. Lynn is destroying his buddy here.

 

[Hasan123]

Christian ,Patel,and Sams are similar types of bowler. Why the heck would you sign all those 3 lol?

 

[Justcrazy]

RCB need wickets here

 

[Ab Fan]

Lol. Don't you want your boy ABs team to win?

Not interested. It is an awful team. Backing DC or SRH this time to go all the way.

 

[Ab Fan]

The stage is set for Kishan, Pollard and Pandya to take the total to 250.

 

[Justcrazy]

83 . 1

9 overs

 

[Hasan123]

Not interested. It is an awful team. Backing DC or SRH this time to go all the way.

DC are my predicted winners but hope my boys CSK can cause an upset.

 

[Hasan123]

Washing Sundar should have bowled by now.

 

[Zeshan547]

at this stage it's as if RCB on purpose select a loser team, its not even funny anymore.

 

[Ab Fan]

DC are my predicted winners but hope my boys CSK can cause an upset.

Watched Ponting's speech a day ago. Extremely motivating. He will probably make sure to bring the best out of DC.

 

[Smbhayi]

Super shot.. SKY

 

[Justcrazy]

SIX

MI lower middle order is terrifying

 

[Hasan123]

Jamieson strikes .

Not sure it's a good thing when Pandya,Pollard,and Kishan are to come.

 

[Smbhayi]

Jamieson got SKY's wicket on a nothing ball..

 

[Hasan123]

Watched Ponting's speech a day ago. Extremely motivating. He will probably make sure to bring the best out of DC.

They also have covered their weaknesses from last year. They have an overseas and Indian WK back up for Pant. Also back up for Rabada and Norje.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Brilliant from Jamieson so far.

 

[Justcrazy]

OUT

RCB strikes

 

[RamLakhan]

Jamieson got SKY's wicket on a nothing ball..

That was not a nothing ball. It was bowled at pace and bounced from awkward length!

 

[RamLakhan]

That was the best fielding I have ever seen from Chahal...!

 

[Hasan123]

Jamieson and Siraj are not death bowlers. Kohli should bowl them out now, tbf they could get a wicket as MI will look to attack.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Jamieson got SKY's wicket on a nothing ball..

Cross seamer that bounced awkwardly I think.

 

[Hasan123]

Washi strikes.

 

[Smbhayi]

Washi got Lynn's wicket in first over

 

[Justcrazy]

OUT

Lyn perishes !

 

[Hasan123]

Kishan is brilliant.

 

[Hasan123]

This was a favorable pitch for spinners and Chahal bowled pathetically. He is playing himself out of contention for the World T20.

 

[Justcrazy]

120 . 3

14 overs

 

[Justcrazy]

RCB would be happy to keep MI down to 180 here

 

[Hasan123]

RCB need to keep it down to 180ish. Don't see them chasing around or over 200.

 

[Devadwal]

RCB would be happy to keep MI down to 180 here

Last 5 over MI can score 65+ runs

 

[Devadwal]

Hardik gone & good over by patel

 

[Smbhayi]

Lol Hardik lbw'd in full toss Delivery

 

[Devadwal]

RCB need Pollard wicket as soon as otherwise he can destroy them in 4 over

 

[Hasan123]

RCB just need to keep getting wickets.

 

[Justcrazy]

MI would like a strong finish here , another 40 runs in last 24 balls.

 

[Hasan123]

Should have been taken.

 

[Devadwal]

Lol He misjudged clearly

 

[Smbhayi]

Poor fielding by Washi.. Costly miss..

 

[Justcrazy]

Pollard has important role to play in the end overs here

 

[Devadwal]

When Nitin Menon raises his finger, you should just turn and walk. He is one of best umpire in world cricket right now

 

[Rajdeep]

Siraj will be top 3 fast bowler in the world very soon across formats. A fantastic talent.

 

[Hasan123]

Good over by Siraj.

 

[Devadwal]

Siraj is ridiculously talented fast bowler .

 

[Sunzi]

Pollard packing some timber ha ha

Excellent over from Siraj, this. Problem is RCBs front-liner has bowled out.

 

[Devadwal]

Siraj dropped a Dolly

 

[Hasan123]

Siraj drops a sitter.

 

[Hasan123]

RCB have done a good job at the death so far . But we have seen this before then they implode.

 

[Justcrazy]

22 off 4 overs

Excellent spell by Siraj

 

[Devadwal]

Last 3 over RCB bowled very well but can they stopped MI under 170?

 

[Sunzi]

Gotta take that. Kishan being given 9 lives here.

 

[Hasan123]

Another wicket. Patel bamboozled Kishan there.

 

[Smbhayi]

That's plumb.. Brilliant delivery by Harshal Patel..

 

[Justcrazy]

OUT

RCB strike again here

 

[Devadwal]

Good review

 

[Sunzi]

Looks plumb.

 

[Sunzi]

Pulling it back well here RCB. On paper didn't think much of their attack - decent of course - but they've done a great job.

 

[Devadwal]

Wow good death bowling by Harshal Patel

 

[Devadwal]

Virat dropped now .what going on here

 

[Hasan123]

Kohli with a drop. RCB fielding other than the drops has been solid.

 

[Smbhayi]

Lol Kohli drops a catch now

 

[Hasan123]

No ball.

 

[Devadwal]

Ohh no free hit .175+ on here

 

[Hasan123]

For a first game in India, Jamieson has done well. I'm sure the NZ management will be praying he does well in this tournament as they will want to include him in their LO team.

 

[Justcrazy]

RCB need to keep it tight , last few balls can be critical in the final chase.

 

[Sunzi]

Indiscipline from RCB here - 3 drops and a couple no-balls.

 

[Sunzi]

Great ball for the free-hit.

 

[sindhiboy]

I knew Jamieson would do better in Indian conditions with his extra bounce. Also has a good yorker.

 

[Hasan123]

Harshal has done a good job at the death. RCB bowlers have done well overall.

It's on their batters now.

 

[Devadwal]

Kurnal Pandya gone

 

[Justcrazy]

OUT

RCB has bowled well so far here
