What's new

Sunrisers Hyderabad beat Royal Challengers Bangalore by 8 runs to win IPL 2016

Warner goes at a crucial time. Had he stayed till the end SRH could have got around 220. But now I think 180 might be a challenge.
 
yuvi has been good with his cameos and is the only performer in the middle order
 
SRH anthem is irritating and they keep playing it. Go go go go doesn't stop
 
Gayle will obviously fail against any good bowling lineup so SRH dont have to worry. Its all about Kohli and AB and I feel mustafiz will trouble them
 
Kohli won't get out for a less score again. He looks hungry to score big after that duck.
 
Its not right that Garbage like Jordan get so much money. 6 straight full tosses in the last over. Too much mediocrity getting rewarded for nothing. RCB couldve chosen a better foreign bowler
 
That should have been a no-ball plus free hit as well. Watson got away with it.
 
RCB winning would be a fitting and fair end.

SRH to much dependent on 1 batsmen to score runs.

Hope RCB wins this.
 
This is where ipl scouting is good. Cutting isn't a regular in Australian team but SRH and Tom Moody would know him from big bash and scouted him
 
Always love to see Watson treated like the trundler he is.

Yeah never rated him as a bowler . World class batsman no doubt .

He simply gets a lot of wicket courtesy of the pressure being built up by the other bowlers. His bowling lacks penetration.
 
Too big a total , RCB will choke . Unfortunately the most boring team of the lot to win this time .
 
If anyone can chase this down then it's RCB but they have to do it against Fizz. Oh and Bhuvneshwar too.

Hes got a very well directed bouncer which he uses very well . I wudnt say hes overrated
 
Its just amazing how T20 is rewarding for the most unskilled but powerful hacks.

Cutting couldn't get bat on ball for the fist part of his innings except for a easy pie full toss which he smashed for 6.

Now look at the ending.

Not that I have anything against Watto.

But I've always wondered how batsmen struggle to score runs against him in T20s. He's not a special bowler but a normal wicket to wicket bowler who bowls with some good discipline.
 
RCB fans. No worries. It seems like Kohli intentionally got out for a duck in the last match to redeem himself in this final. He will win it with the help of ABD. Gayle obviously goes for less score as this is final. I hope he gives a firing start.
 
Only Bhuvneshwar can win this game for SRH. He has carried the SRH bowling and should win it for them.
 
How on earth was that 117mts only if yuvis hit against Brett lee was 119mts??? How do they calculate it??

There is a saying in cricket that your best bowler seldom takes the wicket but your lesser bowler does. This is because batsman are more cautioned and concentrating against the better bowlers but not as much.

Do you know that Al Amin is no. 6 in t20 rankings? He took the wickets when it was Taskin and Fizz who built up the pressure.

The same way BK and fizz has built up a lot of pressure and that helped Henriques and co. in the middle to get some wickets with ordinary bowl. SRH bowling isn't special at all without nehraji. It's those two bowler who made the others look so good.

However thjs where the best batsman excel. Kohli Warner Amla Sanga, they are always focused. You won't see them getting dismissed
 
RCB's mediocre bowling has caught up with them at the most important moment. This total is way too big and will take something very special from multiple batsmen, not just kohli. You can be sure srh bowlers wont gift 6 balls like watto and jordan and co
 
He is a top quality hack who is criminally misused because he gets too few overs.

Gorgeous clean hitter especially off pacers.

Good clean hitter becomes valuable (for a long time) when he knows how to play tougher balls well.

Maxwell is a great hitter (poor form now) but this guy doesn't look like that.

Could be he was out of touch just today or maybe he isn't that good.

Last time they conceded 227 here
 
Only thrice has a team scored more than 208 in IPL2016 so far: all three times it has been RCB - CricInfo
 
Warner never improvises. Always adheres to his pre-prepared script. Should have given the ball to Fizz straightaway after Bhuvi's first over to try and exploit the scoreboard pressure. Even if Fizz bowls a brilliant over next, he'll be taken off and made to bowl three overs at the death. :facepalm:

His captaincy is very predictable
 
Warner has to bring mustafizur on. He could get a tight over or maybe even a wicket
