[MP2011]

Another poor inning from Kohli, 51 off 42 despite being dropped on nought. These innings suck the life out of a T20 innings.

Jammieson to Rohit , let the chase begin

Sharma 18 from 10 balls !

 

[Justcrazy]

Mum Indians need 135 runs in 100 balls.

MI have got a good start. They have the base for the chase, but they need to keep going.

 

[Justcrazy]

One of these two openers need to bat till 12 - 13 overs here

 

[Justcrazy]

In 51 runs MI has 9 boundaries so far.

 

[Justcrazy]

Mum Indians need 110 runs in 84 balls.

Solid start so far by Mumbai , with power hitters to come.

 

[Justcrazy]

Super start by Chahal wicket and only 2 runs

 

[Justcrazy]

Even Maxwell turning now , RCB can feel it.

 

[Justcrazy]

Sharma hits a crucial blow here to keep MI in the hunt

OUT

Sharma gone , RCB are back in the game

 

[Justcrazy]

Required rate is almost touching 9 here , MI need a couple of big overs here to keep things under control.

 

[Justcrazy]

OUT

Great bowling by Chahal here , MI ship is sinking now

 

[Justcrazy]

Things getting bad for MI here .

10 an over required now , MI needs some big hits here , now or never

 

[Justcrazy]

OUT

Maxi is on fire here

 

[Justcrazy]

Mum Indians need 69 runs in 36 balls.

 

[Justcrazy]

Right then. Pollard the key here, as Royal Challengers bring back Siraj. Over the wicket to Suryakumar

 

[sweep_shot]

Mumbai have been quite sloppy during the 2nd half.

RCB are looking good.

 

[BaankeJi]

Not looking good for Team India who have many of MI players in their ranks. Ishan Kishan and SKY failing is not a good sign. I guess selectors will come up with some changes before Oct 10th deadline.

Very much possible. Although I think Ishan and SKY are good selections, if they are not in form then it makes sense to go for other options.

Shikhar Dhawan and Yuzvendra Chahal I'd say India must reconsider, at the expense of Ishan and Axar.

I have my doubts over Bhuvi too, would any day prefer Thakur over him on current form.

Chahal is a good case to consider definitely.
