IPL7 - 2014: The Official Thread

Next match... KKR (home) vs Mumbai (away).

Toss: Knight Riders win the toss and choose to bowl. Kolkata bring in Shakib Al Hasan for Jacques Kallis.

A Mumbai win helps RCB's cause...

Thanks Slab. I was so worked up the Kings IX, I had forgotten the next game

 

[Devill]

6 wickets! And that's bang on the [-]money[/-] bonus points for me

Congrats

Anwy: "Malinga's last game for Mumbai before he flies off to England. We gonna miss the yorkers..."

Congrats

Thank you, esteemed Sire

Slab, so who are you placing your "money" on the win tonight? For me KKR look to have the better balance.

 

[NeonNinja]

Mumbai's really taken a dip from last season. They look out of sorts... KKR also, with the home advantage. For RCB's sake though, I'm rooting for them.

Average first score at ground = 172.
MI = 141.

A contrasting match compared to the violent one earlier in the day. But this Cuttack pitch seems to be very different from the one that was used earlier in the tournament. The ball is staying low, it's sticking in too. Rohit Sharma's half-century might have given Mumbai a decent target to defend. Back in ten..

Until the target is chased down in 15 overs with a 6 wicket win.

Really pedestrian compared to the first game. KKR are making this chase look difficult.

James: "If you are a Mumbai fan you gotta like KKR not sending in Shakib. Expect a massive collapse. Also if you are just a cricket fan then you might like this too. Shakib comes in at the end to make it interesting ... may be even make super over out of KKR's mess. "

Pushkar: "Uthappa is now the top scorer in this year's IPL among indians and 3rd overall. This combined with his performance in the 3 domestic tournaments that he helped his state win, he should surely be in the Indian team. Atleast to the Bangladesh series"

Then bring Shakib in already...

 

[NeonNinja]

It's a 6 wicket win alright. Only in the 19th over.

KKR @ no. 4.

RCB must win all their remaining 4 matches to stand a chance in the top 4..

I am one of the hoard. this year there are less surprises. Form teams win 90% of the games.

I have just seen that there is no IPL today or tomorrow!

Are they trying to wean us off of the tournament
