RCB need 183 to win at 9.15 per over

 

[Creag]

Miserable chase so far by RCB ... need 11.70 per over to win with 10.2 overs in hand.

 

[Speedster]

What a finish! AB is a machine

 

[Mike Hoxbig]

Yeah awesome stuff by AB, Vetorri should have brought him in before Tiwary. And let's not forget the Gayle storm that was unleashed in that one over

/relief!!!

That maams Gayle not wasting time, busting the sixes. Skeem he chowed some woomdumbu before the game!

Gayle is insane. His average in T20's is 40.91 at a strike rate of 155. That's for 95 innings too!
His one day average is lower....39.06

 

[NeonNinja]

What a match! Although I stopped watching when Gayle was bowled by Ashish Nehra. Def downloading the highlight for this one. Seemed like a tense one, 24 off last over.

Awesome game and finish by RCB! This is what makes this version of the game so exciting and unpredictable.

Kings IX v KKR ... being played in Mohali

Kings XI Punjab won the toss and elected to bat

Kings XI Punjab team
AC Gilchrist*†, P Dogra, DJ Hussey, SE Marsh, PC Valthaty, Mandeep Singh, AD Mascarenhas, PP Chawla, Harmeet Singh, P Kumar, BA Bhatt

Kings XI Punjab team
AC Gilchrist*†, P Dogra, DJ Hussey, SE Marsh, PC Valthaty, Mandeep Singh, AD Mascarenhas, PP Chawla, Harmeet Singh, P Kumar, BA Bhatt

Brendon McCullum and Brett Lee are back in place of Shakib Al Hasan and Ryan ten Doeschate for KKR. L Balaji has replaced Jaidev Unadkat.

Paul Valthaty returns and Kings XI have left out Bipul Sharma. That's the only change for the home side; Azhar Mahmood will have to wait for his chance then.

I am surprised that they left Shakib out of the KKR team. He's a composite player, but thankfully I am not coach or team selector.

Are they playing themselves?

My team is sucking this IPL (DC). One bad game and two good close games, but to no avail

 

[MickeyD]

I have KXIP to win this one... going to be a tough one to call.

CSK and RCB for me - only because of Albie and AB. Otherwise I have no particular preference.

RCB is my second team and they had a real cracker last night!

 

[MickeyD]

I have RCB as my "base" team... but I support any team containing Saffers!

Pretty much the same for me. If two teams with Saffers go up against each other, then I don't care who wins, as long as our boys perform well

 

[NeonNinja]

I'm an RCB fan, the batting line up there!

 

[Creag]

Did every moth in India converge on the ground

 

[MickeyD]

Looks like lilggg is going to pip us for the yellow cap!

And he'll go top of the MyBB group
