150 for KKR. 42 for Kallis striking at 102. Shouldn't be a problem for the mighty RCB!

Sorry ... cannot help myself :p :D

There's no excuse for RCB to lose a match. That Yuvi's up and down though. They've got all the talent and names...

That high scoring match was an exception.

Agreed. So much talent in their batting line up and cruising as they were, they gave it away in the end.

Great for me in SB prediction too, as I was the only one (iirc) who went with KKR.
 
2.00 pm KP is Delhi Daredevils captain and he is out at the toss right now. His right hand is heavily taped up though. Sunrisers Hyderabad have won the toss and will bat. "It's a dry wicket," says Dhawan, "Want a good score and make sure the chase is tough". Irfan Pathan is out Naman Ojha is in to bolster the batting. Daredevils have opted for Quinton de Kock and Wayne Parnell, and among the domestic boys Laxmi Shukla.

I felt the game was taken to easy whilst kholi and juvi batted. Told myself these guys take it to easy and gonna put pressure on the guys at the end loosing wickets at the wrong time.... felt maybe ab should have take the second run.... hehehe, these games. If and when and should... bla bla :p
 
A great over from Mishra. Despite the onslaught of QDK, he manage to restrict it to 3 runs.
 
"2"

The number of times Daredevils have successfully chased a 180+ target in the IPL (in 11 previous attempts)

Interesting stat. But this team has a good chance. Some good batting to come.
 
Sharma to de Kock, OUT, tossed up on off stump, De Kock goes for the slog sweep. This has gained considerable height but there is a man in the deep. Aaron Finch camps under it and holds on to a simple chance. Touches gloves with his partner as he walks back
Q de Kock c Finch b Sharma 48 (30b 6x4 1x6) SR: 160.00

Kudos to the lad. A great innings. He almost certainly keeps Ross Taylor out of the next couple of games.
 
SRH in trouble, call Steyn. He's changed the complexion of this game, but can the rest back him up.

Cometh the hour, cometh the man.
 
Vikas: "ok, this isnt cool man... everytime I go to the kitchen, something changes in the game. I went to the kitchen with KP and DK on the crease. "

...then go back to the kitchen again :)
 
Ratna (SRH Supp: "Vikas Kitchen Again please... I smell Split milk....." Bhuvi has to soak in all the pressure now. Dhawan is in deep conversation with him. Tiwary is pacing at the batsman's end

Tension is obvious. So much to play for.
 
What a finish. JP should have been sent in at 3. But who was to know that KP would be so rusty. Good game.

Hyderabad T20 184/1 (20/20 ov)
Delhi T20 180/4 (20/20 ov)

Sunrisers Hyderabad T20 won by 4 runs

5.45 pm They have over 9 an over to chase, but their best batsman has faced only seven balls in the innings. Daredevils need to chalk out a better strategy than that. The openers laid a decent platform, but an out of form KP and a lack of acceleration in the death set up Sunrisers' first win of the season
