Re: Indian Premier League

Shoaib Akhtar will finally make his IPL debut today. Its strange to see that he is going to replace Gul. He hasn't played for almost 5 months. The Knight Riders are batting first and I think they need to get a big score because their bowling could go either way.
 
Re: Indian Premier League

I think Delhi is going to win. They like to chase targets and they are having the chance to do that today.
Kolkata are playing too slow. This is a good start for ODI but not for T20.
 
Re: Indian Premier League

The openers have done a poor job. To score at less than run-a-ball in the first six overs is unacceptable. They've suddenly lost 2 wickets now in an attempt to increase the run rate. I think Ganguly should have opened as he can hit the big shots. Chopra is not suited to this format.
 
Re: Indian Premier League

Except Yomahesh I think Delhi have bowled very well. Kolkata are looking for the same formula as the last match when they will go after the bowling in the last 6 overs but Delhi has much better bowling and I think Kolkata will find it hard to get a good total. If they will get 150-160 it will be a cakewalk for Delhi.
 
Re: Indian Premier League

Good bowling by Delhi. They have done a fantastic job. I think its hard that KKR will even get to 150. They are playing like the test team today :p. Delhi should easily win the match.
 
Re: Indian Premier League

16 overs have gone and Kolkata have just 105 on the board so it doesn't look likely that KKR will reach 150, especially with 2 overs of Mcgrath left.
 
Re: Indian Premier League

133 is a laughable total. Daredevils will win inside 15 overs. I hope for some fireworks from Sehwag and Gambhir because this was extremely boring batting by Kolkata.
 
Re: Indian Premier League

If Knight Riders don't get early wickets this game will certainly be over within 15 overs. I don't know what was the gameplan of the Knight Riders. Most teams get low totals because they lose a lot of wickets in the first six over, but Kolkata had lost only 1 wicket in the same period. They had the wickets in hand but still didn't look for runs.
 
Re: Indian Premier League

No fireworks from either Sehwag or Gambhir :( Shoaib Akhtar has come off for the Knight Riders. I think Delhi still have the advantage because the target is really small.
 
Re: Indian Premier League

Wonderful bowling from Shoaib Akhtar. He has rattled the Delhi Daredevils by dismissing their top four. He has justified the faith of Sourav Ganguly and Sharukh Khan in him. He just has one over left though, so the other bowlers have to pull their weights.
 
Re: Indian Premier League

Wow Akhtar has chosen the perfect moment to perform. I think he got lucky with Gambhir but all the other wickets were due to brilliant bowling.
Dilshan is in aggressive mood today. I think he is the last hope for Delhi now.
 
Re: Indian Premier League

The game is still on for Delhi but this is the last partnership that can do it. This game has turned out to be more exciting than I anticipated.
 
Re: Indian Premier League

Delhi will win if they get singles of every ball. There is no need to go for the big shots. The required run rate is too low. I think this will go right down to the wire.
 
Re: Indian Premier League

Not good running by Delhi. The last two wickets have been lost through run outs. The game was drifting towards Delhi, but this was a timely breakthrough for Kolkata. The game is still too close to pick a winner. I think this will surely go down to the wire.
 
Re: Indian Premier League

What a over by Shukla. They need to go for the big shots because the required rate is gone over 10. The two wickets has almost finished the game. I think it will be nice now if Shoaib gets the last wicket and gets 5 wickets.
 
Re: Indian Premier League

What a way to finish the game. Shukla just needed 5 balls to finish the game lol. I wasnt expecting KKR to win at all but their bowling and fielding was simply stunning.
 
Re: Indian Premier League

I wasn't expecting Kolkata to win either. Shoaib knocked the wind out of Delhi with 4 early blows and the other bowlers did well enough to maintain the pressure. They were at least 15-20 runs short but made up for it with their brilliance in the field.
 
Re: Indian Premier League

Yeah Shoaib just changed the game. He was playing after 5 months but still managed to perform. I think he has improved. He gave 100% on the field and at the presentation he was very humble.

Sachin is fit to play tomorrows game. I cant wait for it. :D
 
Re: Indian Premier League

We are on fire. We need to wicket of Dhoni and the game will be all but over. The double strike by Kulkarni in the last over has crippled Chennai. Brilliant bowling.
