How the hell did MI throw this one away ? Anyhow some of us are happy

SRH 118 (18.4 Ovs)
MI 87-all out (18.5 Ovs) CRR: 4.62

Sunrisers Hyderabad won by 31 runs

Between the stadium banshee and the miserable innings by SH, I had honestly written this off. Even watched an old NCIS with my wife

Like one of the commentators said, it' nice to see a 200 run innings, but defending a low score like that is also exciting.

 

[Dan C]

not happy!

Mbayshark has overtaken you...

Fully agree. If not more exciting. Pity that I didn't give SH a sniff. Hadn't factored in how poor MI are this season. To be fair, Rohit is a poor captain. Cannot recall any innings of consequence with the bat and several bowling/field decisions have been exceptionally short-sighted.

[Luke7777]

Would've picked Miller above Finch... and pushed Sran off the steps

/update : That NB wicket just confirmed it

Idiotic comment. Hyderabad's batting is atrocious.

 

[AirWolf]

Teams are chasing massive totals and failing to chase relatively small scores :wtf:.

 

[mbayshark]

Well that was piss poor bowling from KKR...... throwing the game away!

 

[AirWolf]

No yorkers in the last few overs and they got hammered.
