Champions League XX - It's time to give the people what they need, not what they want...

"Two hundreds , one 5-fer" .... LOL ! I thought that there would have been hundred each from both the teams ....

After seeing that Bairstow & Ross scored hundreds , why NMA why ? :/

Only one line for the match >> Babar Azam batted as usual .... :p
 
Outstanding victory that for Quetta against Durban, Shaheen bowled nicely and fantastic all round performance from Stoinis! Eoin played important innings that gave us victory.[DOUBLEPOST=1596571486][/DOUBLEPOST]
What? Uncharacteristic display from our batsman. ABD 18 of 33 balls :( That toss proved to be extremely important. Congrats to the opposition .. Back to the drawing board.

Thanks
 
Total dominance right from the first over. Batsmen did a wonderful job. Masood scored with quick 50 and Bairstow held the innings in one end and Taylor was amazing ! Couldn't have asked for better score.

Amir bowled a very good spell. Not only was he economical but took 5fer ! Deserved the MoM award. All the bowlers supported him very well. Wonderful team performance overall.

There really is no stopping Steve Smith, is there? He hits his third hundred in succession in spite of a mediocre overall batting display from the Sydney Roosters.
This is not the kind of performance you expect from a batting line of Sydney's calibre, but it isn't inconceivable on adverse conditions and against Royals' bowling.

A calm and collected 57 off 49 deliveries from Joe Root, batting alongside Smith garnered a 107-run partnership which resuscitated Sydney from being 31 for 3.
Ben Stokes partnered with Smith to add 85 runs in a follow-up to the Smith-Root pairing furthering Sydney's progress, but it all went downhill from that point.

Sydney Roosters lost their last 5 wickets for 20 runs to be bowled out for a modest at-best 246 with only three of their batsmen going past the double-figure mark.
Shaheen Afridi claimed 3 wickets, but Kagiso Rabada and Ravindra Jadeja were the real trouble makers for Rajasthan. They claimed 2 and 3 wickets, respectively.

Martin Guptill's hundred and a protective 57 from Ankit Bawne ensures a convincing victory for Rajasthan Royals, even if the convincing win wasn't comfortable.
Sydney Roosters bowling department is the clear weak spot for the team, and the lack of a second specialist spinner made things incredibly difficult for them.

Shane Watson struck to remove David Warner after a brief start and Nathan Coulter-Nile capitalized on that breakthrough immediately by removing Nitish Rana.
But Martin Guptill's tremendous knock coupled with the fact that Ankit Bawne was simply refusing to let his wicket go brought Rajasthan Royals back into the game.

MS Dhoni was dismissed prematurely for 6 off 8 within 3.0 overs of Ben Stokes finally removing Guptill, but it was all set and done for Rajasthan at that point.
Washington Sundar and Ravindra Jadeja only had to push their team over the finishing line and secure a 5-wicket win over the on-paper favourites of this season.

Rajasthan Royals won by 5 wickets (with 27 balls to spare)

Man of the match: Martin Guptill (Rajasthan Royals)
 
Wonderful match that! When we had them 30 odd for 3 it was a fantastic start but Root and Smith counter attacked and put us on a backfoot as they were scoring freely. And they still had lots of batting to come. But to come back after that and bowl them out below 250 is a commendable effort by the bowlers, kudos to them!

Martin Guptill showing his class here with that hundred. Pleased to see youngster Bawne playing an anchor and then Jadeja and Shorey guiding us through. Overall a great first match and hopefully we keep doing this and we are set.
 
We lacked one more good spinner on this track
Smith is scoring hundreds for fun and expecting better from Kohli in the next one

Kolkata Knight Riders finish with 303 for 9 in their 50.0 overs with Virat Kohli's 103 off 105 deliveries stealing the limelight away from Jason Roy's 81 off 68 balls.
Joe Root remained unbeaten on a staunch-y 53, but he had to witness the lower-order and tail collapse from the other end without being able to do anything at all.

Kolkata Knight Riders lost their last 5 wickets for 25 runs, failing to finish with a bang after the start they were provided by their top and middle-order's prowess.
Marcus Stoinis dismissed both openers including the breakthrough wicket of Jason Roy, and Rashid Khan ran a riot against the tail-end to cleanup Kolkata's innings.

But it was Shakib Al Hasan who picked up the all-important wicket of Virat Kohli shortly after he reached his hundred. He was stopped in his trail to a bigger score.
Despite picking-up nine wickets, Adelaide Crows' bowlers were more on the expensive side with James Pattinson and Shakib Al Hasan being the only exceptions.

Incredible hundreds from David Warner and Aaron Finch guide Adelaide Crows to a victory while chasing a 304-run target, completing the task in just 42.3 overs.
The opening pair got off to a flyer and amassed a 214-run partnership for the first-wicket, which lasted less than 28.0 overs. But it was more than sufficient.

Aaron Finch scored 106 runs from 88 deliveries before falling victim to Mohammad Nabi in the 29th over, where Nabi also dismissed Shikhar Dhawan two balls later.
And just like that Kolkata Knight Riders finally had a semblance of hope, but it was soon shattered by David Warner who scored 11 runs from the very next over.

In that 11-run over, David Warner completed his century, arriving there in 89 deliveries. His final score was 137 from 118 deliveries as he too was dismissed by Nabi.
Warner's dismissal was of no avail as the outcome of this match was pretty much set in stone at that point. George Bailey and Marcus Stoinis only completed it.
