Narine was the difference. Used the powerplay to good effect. He tooks his chances. Kiilled the game right there. He showed how to utilize power play. KL Rahul in the following innings showed how not to use power play.
 
Sunil Narine's sparkling fifty and a collective effort by the bowlers fashioned Kolkata Knight Riders' 98-run win over Lucknow Super Giants in the IPL at Ekana Cricket Stadium on Sunday. Deciding to bowl first didn't go as per plan for LSG as KKR became the first team to cross the 200-run mark at the Ekana stadium. Proving his worth with the willow once again, Narine (81 off 38 balls) went on a six-hitting spree, blasting seven maximums and six fours to take the visitors to 235/6.

Chasing an imposing total, LSG batters had to go from the word go but the hosts found it hard to get the big shots and were eventually bundled out for 137 in 16.1 overs.

Within the first 10 overs, LSG had lost half the side including skipper KL Rahul (25), Arshin Kulkarni (9), Deepak Hooda (5) and big hitters Marcus Stoinis (36) and Nicholas Pooran (10).

Ashton Turner hit some lusty blows and looked in mood to showcase his batting prowess but the Australian was supremely unlucky as an inside edge deflected off his boot with Varun Chakravarthy completing a caught and bowled.

With the win KKR moved to the top of the table. They have 16 points, the same as Rajasthan Royals but have played one game more.
 
IPL bowlers and teams can't seem to figure out Narine this year. He is literally smashing them out of the park each games with like 200 SR.

He has good hitting technique. Not even guys like Buttler, Bairstow could go like that consistently. At times he even outplays phil salt world no.1 T20 batsman. But in the previous editions he was bounced out by most players. So they dropped the idea of him opening after Gambhir left KKR. Gambhir is back again. He is again clicking. Not sure what Gambhir does with Narine. He is clicking again. You could say other pitches are batting friendly. Ekana ground is far from batting friendly. No team ever crossed 200 here until today. It is a very large ground. Pitch is not easy to hit through.
 
Wow this has to be Travis Head day.. twice he was lucky inside edge just pass leg stump now he's clean bowled on a
no ball, and another no ball.. lol
 
Abhishek struggled massively against Bumrah. Looked clueless.

Kamboj was also a bit unlucky.

Well clearly his day today.. now an easy catch dropped in 3rd man
 
Kamboj is very very unlucky. A good prospect for MI for the future.

Finally Kamboj gets the wicket of Agarwal. Head is still lucky.
 
Kamboj, 1-42 in 4 overs.

He bowled much better than that. He is hitting the seam at 140 clicks. It seems he is an all rounder. I hope he bats well too.

India needs pace bowling all rounders desparately.
 
SRH's high risk game not working today. Their batsmen lost form collectively in the last few games.
 
This is why Australia are always a dangerous team. Cummins who comes in at no.8 can hit like this.

Compare this to the last 4 Indian batsmen who raise their bats after scoring a single.
 
Innings Break

SunRisers Hyderabad 173/8 in 20 overs (T Head 48, H Pandya 3/31) against Mumbai Indians in an IPL 2024 game
 
Well, at least SKY is back in form for WC.

Rohit is joke of a batsman now. Huffs and puffs and gets out at low strike rate.
 
Sunrisers Hyderabad 173/8

Mumbai Indians (17.2/20 overs) 174/3

MI won by 7 wickets (with 16 balls remaining)
 
SRH posted a total of 173/8 in 20 overs with Travis Head top-scoring with 48. Hardik Pandya and Piyush Chawla took three wickets each while Jasprit Bumrah contributed with one scalp for MI.

Mumbai Indians debutant Anshul Kamboj, who was initially denied by a no-ball and a dropped catch, finally took his first IPL wicket after dismissing Mayank Agarwal.

Suryakumar Yadav slammed a sensational century while Tilak Varma provided perfect support as Mumbai Indians beat Sunrisers Hyderabad by 7 wickets to keep their IPL 2024 playoff dreams alive.
 

IPL 2024 Playoffs Qualification Scenarios Of All 10 Teams - Explained​


IPL 2024 Playoffs Qualification Scenarios: CSK, SRH, and LSG are under the scanner as the battle for the third and fourth spots intensifies.​


As the Indian Premier League 2024 season edges closer to its business end, the competition among the teams to secure a top-four spot and qualify for the IPL 2024 playoffs has intensified. Since the expansion of the league to include 10 teams in 2022, a minimum of 16 points (8 wins) has been typically required for a team to qualify for the playoffs. After Mumbai Indians defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad on Monday at the Wankhede stadium in Mumbai, the competition for the playoffs spot has become even more intriguing for teams like Lucknow Super Giants, Delhi Capitals, and Royal Challengers Bengaluru.

One must note that there has also been an instance where a team with 14 points managed to qualify for the playoffs. With a couple of weeks still left for the league stage games, let's have a look at what the teams need to do to make the IPL 2024 playoffs.

He’s looked useless against McGurk
 
Jake mcgurk is the most young talent right now in the world cricket.
He is bashing Indian trundlers like no tomorrow.
 
DC batting is paper thin.

Hope is hopeless.
Pant is erratic
Stubbs is average.

Then you have Axar and tail.:ROFLMAO:

Boult is not indian trundler. Possibly the 2nd best LOI bowler in the world

2nd best lol where did you get that number? Hahah. He is a trundler and way past his best. Not good enough anymore.
Jake is beating Indian trundlers mercilessly.
 
Parag is so unlucky to not be in the squad ahead of Axar.

Parag can dart a couple of overs like Axar and can bat like a champ in the middle or lower middle order.
