11th Match, Group B - RCB v South Australia @ Durban

[surendar]

So, same Durban where South Australia won Mumbai Indians few days back. Another SA win is expected atleast by the supporters of MI to make this semis battle interesting. That Klinger guy really holds the main key!

One cannot underestimate the Royal Challengers though. They are one of the most consistent sides. This match will be quite a decider for the Mumbai Indians though. If RCB wins, MIs are definitely out of the tournament !!

Best of Luck MI!!

This should be a cracker, before this tournament you would have put an easy with for RCB but SA are playing like a team.

Both teams can afford a loss. But if South Australia wins this match I am sure Bangalore will go through to the semi-finals. Bangalore have yet to play a direct match against Mumbai and based on form I would say Bangalore is the favourite.

Mumbai will need Bangalore to win this match, otherwhile they will have to battle with Bangalore in the direct match for the one semi-final spot.

Mumbai will need Bangalore to win this match, otherwhile they will have to battle with Bangalore in the direct match for the one semi-final spot.

I think Mumbai will be hoping that Bangalore loses, as the only way for Mumbai to reach the semi-finals is the NRR. If Mumbai ties with Bangalore in points, then surely Bangalore will make it through to the semis as their NRR is too good.

 

[ZexyZahid]

It's the way how you look it. I feel if Mumbai want to go through, it will be at the expense of South Australia.

Wow, 2 down. Here comes my main man Rossco.

 

[ZexyZahid]

It's great to see Ross Taylor batting.

Dravid is out, but he was only slowing things down.

White has come out now. This combination of Taylor and White should be fun.

 

[aussie1st]

Taylor has been awesome so far, such crisp hitting to the fence. SA bowlers are struggling apart from Tait.

 

[ZexyZahid]

Tait just bowled a 149,5 kmph ball. It went for 5 wides though.

A bit surprising that Tait has been brought back at this situation.

ZexyZahid added 1 Minutes and 58 Seconds later...

And Tait has done his job. A bit sad though. I was actually enjoying Ross Taylor's batting.

 

[aussie1st]

Brilliant capataincy by Klinger and a pretty good over by Bailey apart from that first ball. Doesn't seem to be getting much turn unless hes top spinning it but grabs himself a wicket.

 

[Biggy]

Get on the boundary son!

Biggy added 3 Minutes and 56 Seconds later...

Think he's touched the boundary. Bad luck.

Biggy added 3 Minutes and 48 Seconds later...

I would've bowled Tait out last over, or at least this over.

 

[aussie1st]

Not looking good now, du Preez is on fire, hes basically playing the White role.

 

[ZexyZahid]

This is pretty surprising. White scored 18 runs and didn't hit a boundary so far.

 

[Biggy]

Bowl him Tait.

Biggy added 7 Minutes and 46 Seconds later...

Redbacks have given themselves every chance to win this. Still don't know what Bailey is doing here. 82/2 @ 10.25rpo in his 3 games. Should play one of their three quicks sitting on the bench.
