RR VS RCB: Match Report

 


RR'S chariot of wins continued as they defeated RCB by 29 runs. The match was overshadowed by a verbal spat between Harshal Patel and Riyan Parag, Kuldeep Sen's Four-for and Ashwin giving a breakthrough to RR in the crucial overs.

RCB had won the toss and chose to field first. Padikkal faced his former teammate Siraj and played a classy off drive but was soon dismissed by a yorker. We again got a surprise package as Ashwin was sent again on number 3 and played a short but striking inning of 17 runs in 9 balls and was dismissed by a short ball bowled by Siraj which he misjudged. Buttler could not show his destructive batting as he was dismissed by Hazelwood.

Samson punished Hasranga in his First over by playing a Six over the deep extra cover, Long off and a four in the point region. Though RR was completely under pressure as they lost wickets in succession and could not score big runs in the Powerplay. Daryl Mitchell played an underwhelming inning of 16 runs in 25 balls which proved woeful for RR but Parag came as a saviour for RR as he saved RR from a very difficult situation and scored 56 off 31.

We again had a surprise again as Kohli opened the innings with Du Plessis but could put up a big score and his poor form and drought of form continued and gave a rueful smile after being dismissed by Krishna Du Plessis did look intimidating for some period of time but was dismissed by a short ball bowled by Sen. Maxwell when came out to bat looked as if he might finish the innings for RCB but was bowled by 140+ ball bowled towards the 5th stump by Sen which was caught in the slips. Ashwin showed his experience by dismissing Patidar and Prabhudesai with his intimidating off Spin which was a lot bouncier.

SRH VS PBKS

 Srh Can Finally Take a deep breath as they've found their core players and the right team combination to speed up their chariot of wins. Umran has certainly improved his line length along with his menacing raw pace. Pooran has been consistent with his runs. Tripathi's big-hitting along with his perfect timing is a knock on the selector's door for the T20 World Cup. Punjab's Livingstone too has brought his Big Hitting to the Indian Premier League as he primarily attacked Suchith and used his quick wit against Umran's Quick Pace by hitting boundaries towards the third man and long on.
