VIVO IPL 2016- Official Tournament Thread- April 9th to May 29th

[Dilscoop]

Top 2 overall teams in the final. Batsmen and bowlers from the both teams are topping the stat sheets. Both are good fielding sides as well. If Fizz is inactive then it will be 70-30 RCB. Sunrisers middle order is just ugly. They failed to utilize Morgan and Kane and overused these Australian no more than utility players who aren't doing enough with either bat or ball. Warner can't keep doing it alone. If Fizz plays, it's 55-45 still RCB.

Should be a fun game. Unless of course it's typical a one-sided RCB game.

with RCB if gayle doesn't get you kohli will and if kohli misses AB will, and god save you if two of them clicks together. I wish someday we see a bowling version of these in IPL, If bowler 1 fails bowler 2 will get you if 2 fails 3 gets you

[Dilscoop]

^ There aren't enough quality bowlers in going around at this point for that to happen.

Funny, when Sachin, Ponting, Dravid, etc all these GOAT batters were batting around, there were more than enough GOAT bowlers going around to tackle them in the late 90's-early 2000's. Now there's not enough bowlers to challenge these batsmen.

[MHRAM]

Also the wickets these days are biased towards the batsman and bats with such thick edges

hope Musta is fit to play, otherwise it will be disappointing.
I don't think it will be a close contest

[ahnaf]

6.50pm Kazi: "Good News: Mustafizur Rahman is fit and he will play in today's final! It had been revealed in his official facebook page".

Nagaraj says that "the Fizz" is bowling full throttle and is now marking his run-up. Enough indication he'll play. His inclusion will make a big difference to the Sunrisers attack, although Boult did not do badly in his first match of the season. RCB are likely to go in with an unchanged XI, Naga adds.

really nice to hear person like Shastri(who spent less words praising someone, specially from bd) praising FIZZ as great talent !!

[simon]

Great batting by Warner but now that he is out the chances of getting 200 is gone

what an cameo from cutting

[Roey Haque]

I think Ben Cutting just retired Shane Watson from ALL forms of cricket! For ever.

[Al_Baseerah]

Amazing knock from Cutting, very strong batting display by SHR. Now the bowlers need to strike! Fizzzzy

[Roey Haque]

Safe to say SRH are the 2016 IPL champs?

Can you really cross 200 against M'Fizz and B Kum?

[aklemalp]

It's bangalore they're playing at...200 might not be a safe target.

[Al_Baseerah]

Don't forget they got 227 in the first game against SHR, first 6 overs will be crucial. Every wicket will be crucial, especially Kohli. He is a beast in chasing.

[simon]

Another Koheli master chase? Another hundred ?
This is a batting paradise.
Anything possible, Sunrisers will have to just target the block hole.

1st over for 6 runs by bhuvi.

[Roey Haque]

Gayle is heating up.

I guess M'Fizz has to bail SRH out.

[NoName]

Gayle is going to finish it

[NoName]

Gayle is going to finish it

[aklemalp]

Gayle in full throttle

[Roey Haque]

That medium off cutter is unplayable. Even for Gayle when he is in touch.

[aklemalp]

Mustafeezorro first over goes for 4

[Roey Haque]

And to think I believed that SRH had a chance without M'Fizz. Lol!

Only Fizz can rescue them now and he might have already started the rescue mission with that brilliantly economic first over.

[aklemalp]

50 up for Gayle

[aklemalp]

6 sixes for Gayle so far...Chinaswammy stadium...what an embarrassment
