Today's pitch is gripping and no dew till now.Seems 170 is a winning score in case of no dew.

Hyderabad should bring in Rahul Chahar as impact player. Also only Head can bowl part time spin.

They can sub out ishan .hyd needs every spinner/bowler on that pitch

Hyderabad finding it very difficult to accelerate here.

Pandya is the most important player for India in white ball cricket right now, he gives a crucial balance , I do not think any other team has a seam bowling all rounders like him right now. He gets wicket almost every time he bowls , and with bat he can hit at any stage , also can also play restrained innings.

He is one of the two most important white ball players that we have, the other being Bumrah.

SRH needs to find ways to accelerate, their bowling is nothing to write home about.

Finally Klasen connects something

Deepak Chahar getting smashed to bits by Klassen.

It takes Bumrah just one delivery to get rid of Klassen. They just can't deal with his awkward action and angle.

 

[BDfanforever]

Oh now Pandya got smashed in the last over.

Never really understood this 1 short rule.

Batsmen run 2 but because they run short, they are only given 1 run. But if you have run the 1st run short, aren't you automatically running the 2nd run short? So technically you shouldn't be allowed even a single run. It should be a dot ball.

163 for Hyderabad to defend , Shami and Cummins need to pick early wickets.

 

[Justcrazy]

Shami to Sharma , good contest.

 

[Justcrazy]

Four of the first over.

SRH have the worst bowling attack. They deserve to be at the bottom

BCCI has warned IPL regulators be wary of suspicious events

MI won after Pat Cummins shone with ball for SRH

Hardik Pandya and Tilak Varma hold the key for MI, following a middle-order collapse. Earlier, a late blitz from Heinrich Klaasen and Aniket Verma powered SRH to 162/5. SRH were struggling at 115/4 at the end of the 17 over before Klaasen shifted the momentum, slamming Deepak Chahar for 21 in the 18th over. Jasprit Bumrah dismissed Klaasen to pull SRH back slightly, but Aniket and SRH captain Pat Cummins combined to collect 22 runs off the final over from Hardik Pandya. For SRH, Abhishek Sharma top-scored with a 40 while Will Jacks (2/14) was the standout bowler for MI.

Lol I know! Maybe the other guy ran two and they take pity on him?

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Ryan Rickelton’s 21-run innings was initially over, caught by Cummins, but a Klaasen keeping error led to the dismissal being overturned and resulted in a no-ball and free-hit.

Yesterday, watching travis head bat was disappointing. That guy was just missing everything. Could not middle anything.

Today's RCB match could be a rain washout OR shortened game!
