Strategic time out is a downer....

[aklemalp]

Thr team batting first has the best chance of winning this game....it's hit and humid..and bowling first takes a bit out of the fielding team...

[aklemalp]

Another ipl century on the cards..soon to come

[Austin 3:!6]

B.Kumar underrated. Outbowled Mustafizur again like he did throughout this tournament.

[aklemalp]

No century for amla

True, Bhuvi is the senior...mustafizur is the junior....Bhuvi admitted that he was taking advice from mustafizur after the brain-freeze he encountered during the latter part of their first match against RCB, where sarfaraz was making Bhuvi his bowling machine.

Ya , too much hype on Mustafiz but ignoring how Bhuvi has bowled throughout.

Yeah I agree. Minus the first two games and he has been exceptional. They both complement each other - you need more than one good bowler in a team.

Hope sunrisers win today.

I like it how everyone is accepting that Bhuvi bowled well throughout the tournament, shows that we acknowledge good bowling where it is even if its not from our bowler. but there are some people with no class, you cant help it, there are bad tomatoes in every garden

[iDumb]

On the batting side, dhawan has been ignored as warner stole the limelight. Again after first few matches, he came good. 2 occasoins where he carried the bat but didn't win the mom but deserved.. went to a bowler..

Who are they? Name and shame them

heh..lol

[aklemalp]

Krunal Pandya is chasing a century now...76 off 32 balls and 3 overs remaining after this...

A 100 in the IPL is a joke now....someone needs to score a double century soon.

[aklemalp]

He's Krunal. No century for him

[aklemalp]

Shakib with some late innings power hitting along with Russel

[aklemalp]

50 run partnership up for the pair:

Current partnership 54 runs, 4.3 overs, RR: 12.00 (Shakib Al Hasan 18, Russell 35)

[aklemalp]

So KKR finishes on 183/5

Considering the conditions around the ground, there is a strong feeling that rain will finish this match earlier than predicted...Duckworth-Lewis

[aklemalp]

Kind comparison between Mustafizur and Chris Jordan from one of Cricinfo's keyboard warriors:

Mo: "Some of Jordan's yorkers reminded me off when The Fizz swept Russel off his feet and got a wicket."

[aklemalp]

7 off the 1st over for RCB...they require 177 from 19 overs at 9.31 an over...tough task.

Hope Gayle fires today

[aklemalp]

2nd over goes for 8...required run rate is 9.38

Back to back boundaries in that over from Gayle

[aklemalp]

17 runs off the 3rd over..and the required run rate slumps to sub 9.00

[aklemalp]

RCB making a mockery of this target

[aklemalp]

Narine dismisses Gayle 1 run shy of his half century

71/1 halfway thru the 8th over

[simon]

Should be a chase in the park for Koheli and ko
