I think we are done,

/thread

 

[_Sam_]

Slightly dissapointed, we really needed to get the key batsmen earlier to get an easier target. A high scoring pitch though so with hope we can pull it off.

 

[themusketeer]

Sir Garry Sobers ! 2nd century and what a way to bring it. 313 is good enough total and I am sure our bowling attack will restrict them.

 

[PCA]

Its a very good score for the finals. I think its 75 - 25 in favour of KKR now.
But SS got batsmen to chase this kind of score.

They need something special from Brendon Mccllum.

 

[Pinch hitter]

KKR are known for Big Totals and they kept there reputation intact... Well Played, specially after Samurai's put them Bat first... Now pressure is in Samurai's camp...

 

[PCA]

If Mcgrath is taken to the cleaners then am not sure what will happen to the likes of Matt Henry, Samuel Badree and Kyle Abott.
Though KKR are ahead, I think SS have the batting to chase this kind of score.

 

[themusketeer]

Not to forget we have Mitchell Starc & Botham. Kyle Abbott the most economical bowlers till now for us. Stokes would like to contribute with ball in this match.

 

[_Sam_]

We could do with one of the top 3 to go big and support the whole innings whilst Smith, Williamson, Dhoni and Bopara hit out and up the RR a bit to be honest. Will be tough but not unchaseable.
