On Hold ༺IPL⋄PC STYLE༻

[Perfect Square]

Wow our top order collapsed badly. Then Manoj Tiwary played a brilliant knock! This kind of innings was due on him. Also unexpectedly Axar Patel outta nowhere played a big cameo to ensure win in 18.3 overs!

 

[Akshay.]

We were in the game at the start of both the innings but lost our way at the end
Thanks @Pinch hitter for the league

 

[Na Maloom Afraad]

Delhi vs Rajkot? Bring it on!

 

[Till Valhalla]

Finishing problems.

LINEUPS FOR SEASON 3 - FINAL

DELHI DAREDEVILS v

RAJKOT RENEGADES @ Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium, Hyderabad
@CerealKiller & @Na Maloom Afraad v @Naman Thakur & @Perfect Square ​

NOTE: Team can have a maximum of 4 Oversea Players... Mark your Captain, Wicket Keeper, and minimum Five Bowlers... Every player in the squad must play at-least one game before Play-off...

Spoiler: Pitch Report

Chennai & Kolkata can produce big score games, but batsman need to take special care against spinners...
Rajkot & Mumbai pitches made for big scores... spin & seam both need to be balanced...
Bhubaneshwar, Hyderabad & Surat pitches are more balanced one... you can see reasonable score here... spinners and seam bowlers both have equal chance to shine...
Bangalore, Delhi & Kochi pitch is a mysterious for every one... chance of low scoring matches are high in here... so back your batsman well...

Sarfaraz Khan c J Roy b R Khan 14 (14m 13b 1x4 1x6) SR: 107.69

Talented as you might be, one does not simply take on Rashid Khan and expect to get away with it. Sarfaraz Khan had to learn it the hard way.

Jos Buttler 46* (29b 6x4 2x6) Rashid Khan 4-0-27-2 Naman Ojha 5 (3b 1x4 0x6) Krunal Pandya 2-0-23-0

One could tell the Delhi Daredevils were much relieved to see Rashid Khan finish his spell. In an innings where everyone else had so far gone at rates ranging from 8 to 14, he had conceded runs at only 6.75 per over.

special thanks to @VC the slogger for writing a summary notes of final match...

 

[CerealKiller]

Finally Buttler woke up. Hoping for a similar performance by the bowlers.

 

[Perfect Square]

Man these last 3-4 overs could bite us later in 2nd innings. 190 target won't be easy but it is enough of what our batsmen are capable of.
It's time to bring Trophy home boys!

 

[Na Maloom Afraad]

I will be very upset if we lose now.

What a finish! A nail-biter to the very end. Well played to both teams, but in the end, there can be only one winner. Rajkot Renegades will breathe a sigh of relief after today's match and will be hoping to be more authoritative in the next one. The bowlers were probably licking their lips when they saw the pitch today - the pitch was very sporting, to say the least. All of the disciplines benefited greatly throughout the day. Oh dear - if you're a Delhi Daredevils supporter, I'm afraid the scorecard makes for pretty poor reading. Rajkot Renegades simply showed more hunger for the win today and they will deservedly take all the accolades for the performance they put in.

Yeah !!! Our team did it .

It is very rare of Dhoni to hit a six the very first ball he faced . This being the Final , he made his intentions clear .
Only Dhoni can finish like that . @Perfect Square

And nothing to be taken away from young Krunal Pandya .
