This appears to be a very batting-friendly pitch. Only a 200+ will win the match for MI.

Aaron had a very tight strike rate under 14 last season, going with his high economy. This time, a wicket is hard to come by, and his economy has soared further. Let's not forget, he doesn't get as much active cricket as his teammates in Jharkhand or RCB.

Chahal, on the other hand, has a career economy of 6.45, but that was under six before he became a regular bowler for RCB- where his economy rate rose to Varun Aaron levels.

Unmukt Chand is a T20 misfit, as his strike rate suggests. Yet he's playing a breathtaking knock striking over 150. Maybe that gives a hint about where this match is headed.

Hardik Pandya. What a name.

 

[Shri]

Roussow is very droppable. RCB have enough batsmen.

And still struggle at times. Weakening the batting will only add pressure on those guys.

 

[Arjun]

So this may be a match-winning score on a flat deck. Not so much for MI, who don't have the bowling to sustain on a flat deck. Much will depend on McClenaghan, because Malinga's out of form, Bhajji's had a reversal in form once more and the rest of this bowling attack are up-and-down medium pacers whom Gayle, AB, Roussow and Weise will enjoy facing.

Gayle in Sanga mode.

Makes sense when you actually picture the guy saying it

Still better than "He's a gonzo"

 

[MyLord]

**** their team selection - but cheerleader selection is impeccable.

 

[MyLord]

4 wides and still only 7 for the over - gun bowler!

 

[Niall]

Horror start to their chase for Bangalore.

Love Kohli but this is a game where he needs to go big and no a strikerate of 120 won't do.

 

[Arjun]

Not the Chris Gayle we know and love. Unless he and Kohli are playing out Slinga and Bhajji, and waiting for the free-scoring opportunities later on.

 

[Jono]

Hate when Dhoni and Gayle and ****s with ridiculous hitting ability bat like this. ffs

 

[Niall]

Karthik ahead of AB when you need 14 an over.

The power of fail is strong with Bangalore tonight.

 

[Jono]

Yeah that's just a dumb **** decision.

 

[Niall]

Yeah that's just a dumb **** decision.

Heck

I'd have sent in Wiese for a slog rather than Karthik if hiding AB.

So confused.

 

[Niall]

Good work this, keep running those singles.

One of you hit out or get out.

 

[Niall]

2 of the worst t20 innings i have ever seen.

Well done Kohli and Gayle.

 

[Jono]

bahahah AB immediately spanking it.

**** YOU RCB for holding him back
