That was probably the match of the tournament so far. Impressed that SRH almost defended that score. Another great game by Bopara, too...
 
Best chance for MI to get back to form. CSK are poor travelers and more so against Mumbai in Mumbai.

Please don't try to reverse jinx, they gonna win it easily :).
 
CSK might see their first defeat of their season against Steven Smith's Rajasthan Royals. Smith is on a purple patch in his career so far where nothing goes wrong for him. The way CSK let Mumbai get to 183 is a huge cause of concern. Against better teams, they will lose such games very easily. Still was a shock to see MI bowl so bad to Smith and Baz.

Also it would be good for CSK to get some losses under their belt now as they dont seem to go all the way in the tournament if they dominate the league stages.
 
I'm intrigued to see if Watson will play, if yes then in place of whom (think Southee) and will he be captain? If I were the RR management, I'd get him in place of Southee, not as captain but certainly to open. RR leave a lot to do at the end and surely, Smith and Faulkner can't win it for them every time!
 
hope dhoni moves up the order as said in conference, he really needs to get out of his old routines for a bit and see how change goes.
 
Not a bad thing at all for CSK! But they need to take care of quite a few things. Faf has been flopping pretty badly so far and it would make sense right now to bring in an overseas bowler like Matt Henry or Kyle Abbott in Faf's place. Dhoni should not come out after Bravo. He should be coming in earlier. If he gets out, its OK because you still have Bravo and Jadeja. And I for god's sake dont understand why CSK never give an opportunity to Baba Aparajith, who is an allrounder and who can bat really well. If Faf is replaced with an overseas bowler, we might not need Ishwar and Baba can come in his place. It beefs up the batting and keeps the bowling option also for us.

Good to get some losses behind you early in the tournament.
 
Hah, it was incredible while it lasted. Well played AB. It is just so frustrating when some of these teams get their batting order wrong over and over again.
 
Makes absolutely no sense as to why you would put someone like ABD at no5 in a T20 game

If I had it my way, I would open with the dude
 
Finally a win! Jumped to 7!
