[Rana]

Seeing some high quality cricket and dismissals here

 

[Ab Fan]

Terrible from Rashid..He was ball-watching while the guy at other end was running hard to make it a double and they collided. This is absolutely pathetic cricket from SRH in last few years.

 

[Justcrazy]

29 from 18 balls required .

 

[JaDed]

SRH inexperience showing..

KP is so much torture in the commentary box. Keeps talking sooo much, no wonder he never got on with his team mates

Good spell from Saini

 

[Justcrazy]

Three wickets in one over , SunRisers ship almost sunk now

[JattMaula]

KP is so much torture in the commentary box. Keeps talking sooo much, no wonder he never got on with his team mates

Switch to dugout mode. No KP and no ads.

Welcome to the UAE mate, not pleasant viewing for cricket

For cricket fans - its all fun.

 

[Smbhayi]

Welcome to the UAE mate, not pleasant viewing for cricket

Terrible match due to things happened in the field.. Poor fielding, injury, collapse, bizzare way to get out etc..

 

[Thunderbolt14]

Most competitive league in the world, ladies and gentlemen! I’m starting to agree with the BJP: Pakistanis have no place here

Bangalore need Gurkeerat Maan and Chris Morris next match.

whom to replace?

 

[King_Kohli]

What's all the fuss about this guy, that good huh?

Dammnn good.
Soon he will replace Dhawan in all formats.

 

[Smbhayi]

whom to replace?

Morris (or Ali if pitch assist spin) for Australian WK, (he probably a very good bat but he's a top order batsman, and he won't get a chance there so basically they're wasting him down the order) and Gurkeerat in for Dube..

ya
Morris should play.
Josh Philippe has to wait

 

[Ab Fan]

whom to replace?

Hard one, probably one of them because if AB can't keep, they will have to play Parthiv.

Morris is needed for finisher role. Finch is there for solidity so Gurkeerat Maan is probably not needed. Shivam Dube can hit a few on cow corner if it's coming up well on bat.

Finch
Padikkal
Virat(c)
AB
Parthiv(wkt)
Dube
Morris
Sundar
Saini
Chahal
Steyn

This looks good though. If top four can bat for 15 overs consistently, just send Dube and Morris for smashing. Parthiv is needed just for keeping.

This team is perfect.
In second half RCB can try Moeen Ali or Zampa depends on conditions.
My only concern little fellow Parthiv cant fit in middle order, he is only power play batsman. As you said needed just for keeping.

I agree with highlighted part on Dube

Yeah, Phillipe is an opener, they shouldn't expect him to finish off games, rather go with a genuine finisher with some experience and someone who has been bought at such a high price like Chris Morris who can also bowl 3-4 overs.

I have watched Dube's batting in past. He flopped today but his batting is suited for T20 cricket in late middle overs. His bowling is poor though, can't bank on him for three overs.

There will be more changes as the game progresses.
