IPL 2024

[Pegging]

199 still one ball to go in the 14th over,

205 in 15 overs
15 short of my prediction. That's because Head got out.

RCB bowlers

 

[Maurice Kitching]

Another record total.

 

[Dan C]

Highest total in IPL history EVER !!

SRH - 287


Highest totals in IPL
287/3 SRH vs RCB Bengaluru 2024
277/3 SRH vs MI Hyderabad 2024
272/7 KKR vs DC Vizag 2024
263/5 RCB vs PWI Bengaluru 2013
257/7 LSG vs PK Mohali 2023

Three of the five 250+ totals have come in 2024 edition alone.

Must be the bigger bats they are using

 

[Maurice Kitching]

Jissis. Head speaks as fast as he bats. Shouldn't have asked him to run them through his innings.

 

[Dan C]

Four RCB bowlers have conceded 50+ runs - there have never been more than two bowlers doing the same previously in an IPL innings

Topley 1/68
Dayal 0/51
Ferguson 2/52
Vyshak 0/64

In Faf , we trust

 

[Pegging]

Can't Kevin Pietersen just shut the F up ?

Rather give Danny a double stint, as annoying he is. Well he is at least funny at times.

Nooit. I think Cris Morris did alright, they can use him.

Brian Lara is disappointing as commentator, hope he gets better. He is my favorite batsmen of all time.

 

[stefan9]

Faf looks like he is about to burst into tears

I would be doing the same if I have captain that bowling side on these flat pitches.

Did Chris bring his gardener along ?

TBH, I think Polly is one of the better commentators lately. Pity he is not there.

Stat: 7 x 50+ partnerships in this match - there haven't been more than five in any T20 match previously

 

[Maurice Kitching]

Say what you like, it was a valiant effort.

Avesh Khan to Philip Salt, out Caught&Bowled!!

That was a brilliant catch !

KKR 21-1

 

[Diesal]

Guys, RCBs bowling has always been lackluster from wayback when they had AB and Gayle.

They always somehow managed to claw defeat from the jaws of victory...

From Faf's own words (before the SRH match)

Groggy RCB teeter home to haul sputtering campaign back on track

After a crushing defeat in Mumbai, the league's stragglers welcome a strong SRH outfit placed in the happy half of the standings

www.cricbuzz.com

"We have to push for that 200. We don't have as many weapons in our bowling. So it comes down to the batting. From a bowling perspective, we have lacked penetration. We have to get them two or three down in the powerplay. Always feels like we are on the back foot after the first four overs," the RCB captain lamented after the crushing loss in Mumbai.

The recent demolition at the hands of SRH would have only compounded this fact. Seems like some off season recruiting is in order.
