Indian Premier League - General Discussion

If this game gets decided by a 5-over match, then it's absolutely the worst way to go through to the next round. A target of 41 in 5 overs with 10 wickets in hand? Are you kidding me?

Rain just keep on falling till 1:26 and we are through...

Although I still think we stand a chance... Just Bhuvi and Rashid must perform out of their skins

To be fair, that's another worst possible way to go through too.

A way is a way.
Shortening the overs is always bad for the bowling side. Wickets from the batting side should be reduced to balance the game for both sides.

It will be very unfortunate for KKR if they lose out on the rain rule. But SRH also had the misfortune in the league stage of having a washout spoil the chances to become No.2 and have a double bite at the final spot. If they didnt have the washout and won that game, SRH would have been No.2 because their NRR was higher than Pune.

Let us see if SRH get their due of 'luck' this time around. But its best that this Eliminator is played out and KKR given the chance to chase.

Yupe. I don't understand why wickets are not reduced.

According to D/L method the target gets up as the overs are reduced. Does this happen because, in D/L wickets are not reduced so they just add some runs to the target?

If SRH gets out Lynn, Gambhir and Uthappa inside 5 overs without them going blitzkrieg will increase SRH chances of winning by tenfold.

Don't forget Narine! His 30 odd runs can chance the face of the match.

I don't think he can sustain the pressure.

I don't understand why did they pick Jordan in a crucial match like this. He never looked more than a bit's and pieces player.

Nabi would have been a much better choice...

If they wanted a Pacer, Cutting was there.

Actually I don't think we should rule out SRH so soon... SRH can win but they need to get the three big fishes cheaply.... Robbie, Gautam and Lynn

Eliminator Scenarios :

11:50 PM - cut off time for 20-over innings
12:58 AM - for 5-over innings
1:20AM for Super-over .

We still have two hours time for 5-overs play .

11:25 the match will resume. Covers are back.
