IPL 2018

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

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 :o

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

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.
