RCB are appalling. Is this team the worst in IPL history?

Bangalore seem very confused with their batting order. Why not go: Gayle, Vinod, Kohli, Head, ABDV and then Kedar Jadhav?

Doubt that will improve anything. Most of those batsmen have still contributed nothing, regardless of where they batted.

Wow what a finish! Tie... super over time!

Finch 1 off 4 in a super over! Mumbai win.

defended 11 in a super over despite bowling a no ball and a wide.

either the batsmen were terrible or the bowler was superb

Bit of both. Finch swung and missed at everything. Bumrah did bowl some good yorkers but also bowled 4 terrible deliveries that should have went for 12.

Despite their loss today Gujarat have really improved over last few matches.

Jadeja, Kushan and Faulkner have impressed me.

delhi doing their best to challenge for that particular title

scores have been dreadful over the last couple of days

perhaps the tourno is too long?

i think the technical description for that first game today is "getting humped"

Warner 98 after 10 overs! 200 on?

the length of it is ok, the quickness of the games is a bit too much.
rarely any break between games.

Delhi's last game is against Bangalore. Could be in for the shortest IPL game ever.

Superb 100 by Warner.

Sanju Samson, Amla, Warner are the 3 ton scorers this IPL.

Chris Lynn got close to a 100 (93* as he did not have enough to chase), Manan Vohra 95. Still about 20 matches left so i am expecting couple of more 100's.
SOmeone amongst Virat, Lynn, Jos, Guptill, ABD, Kane, Big Mac, Smith, Robin.

players are bound to suffer dips in form when things are this concentrated, and teams can easily lose confidence. Once these things start, they can often be hard to break free from, particularly when there is no chance to regroup/take stock
