Cricket-Match-Special ... A forum for discussion

A big night for Polly. Mumbai were nowhere near chasing 200 down with Polly in single figures and the asking rate up to 20. then I look again and there is a super over being played. How Polly and Kishan got there, I have no idea, but it is typical of Mumbai that they still ended up losing. Hardik has been in no form at all up to now, so why he was sent out to scratch around in a super over instead of Kishan who had hit 9 sixes earlier in the innings is beyond me.

Think I enjoyed that Kishan innings more than Tewatia's yesterday.

Good 40s from Pollard and Pooran.

Priyam Garg saved his blushes as he went on to score a match winning 50 after running our Kane Williamson when they were both on 0. Only his 15th ever T20 game.

Shreyas Iyer really is starting to look like a player comfortable in his own skin. Was instrumental in Delhi's victory over Kolkata today.

No idea why Watson was man of the match when Faf scored more off fewer balls.

Probably because his capt came out and said he would never drop him no matter what. POM will help to justify what would otherwise be a ridiculous thing to say

That's how Dhoni PR works.

indeed

And here's another odd one......Rabada gets a fourfer and Axar Patel gets MOTM.

Gill is disappointing. Gifted his wicket there to a ordinary ball. Also was very lucky while taking singles. Poor running.

Shaw is better backup opener to Rohit and Rahul.

Chennai finally ditch Chawla, but then don't pick Tahir (again)

they lose (again)

Delhi at 93/4 in 11 overs. Very poor by the lineup of Shikhar, Prithvi, Shreyas and Rishabh. So far all innings at Sharjah have been over 200. DC struggling here though.

Rahul Tewatia strikes. Delhi Capitals 109/5 after 13.3. RR have done excellent work by picking ickets at regular intervals.

Hetmyer!
