**Official* IPL 2016

Sensational. I started watching at around the 12 over mark when RCB was in deep trouble and in the end it wasn't even close. You have to back them in the final too given that any of their top three could win the game on their own.

Incredible innings but I think a lot of the times AB's downfall is that he has moments of playing brain dead cricket.

There was a moment in the game where they needed 50 or so in 32 balls and AB skewed a shot and barely cleared Finch for a six. I thought he looked like a man who would never do that again from his face expression. The next ball he almost flat bats a swat and the ball falls just short of Bravo. Remember if he was out here, the game is done.

I think in the long run it is this decision making that costs him. Nothing to do with pressure, just bad decision making.

Yeah there is no question AB had some luck. In his defense he hit those shots when Abdulla was struggling with just 9 off 16 balls which put a lot of pressure on AB who probably felt they needed a big over before the game slid out of reach. That over was definitely the turning point.

Fantastic innings by Ab to guide his team home..love watching the guy bat especially when he decides ita time to change gears and step on..

Defended the selection of Cutting. but I dunno coming down the track to your first ball really isn't the canniest.

Time for Ojha to make up for his horror innings on Sunday.

The advantages of being an all-rounder. Just bowl well and you still had a good game.

Aye, he bowled well indeed.

Kane and Morgan have had their chances and not taken them, Cutting has done fine since he came in.

Nice performance from Henriques as well, he isn't world class, but he is important to this side.

KKR seemed to have regressed over last few years, to reliant on Russell and Pathan heroics, Narine also might be warming the bench, he looks done and dusted.

Wait, Ben Cutting bowled well in a T20? Hasn't been an all-rounder in the format for years ffs; specialist bat in the format these days.

Can you imagine how funny it would be if the IPL was decided by match-winning performances in the final by Moises Henriques and Ben Cutting with de Villiers, Kohli & Watson all failing?

You heard it here first

I didn't even realise SRH had Boult in the sidelines throughout this tournament. Their pace bowling stocks are so much better than the rest it's not even funny. Bhuvi-Boult-Fizzy-Nehra-Sran! Some other sides would be happy to get any 2 among the 5. If they win this match, the final will be between the best batting team and the best bowling team.
