The IPL 2024 final is here, and the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai is set to erupt! Tonight, two titans collide &ndash; the ever-consistent Kolkata Knight Riders, led by the shrewd Shreyas Iyer, and the rampaging Sunrisers Hyderabad under the fiery leadership of Pat Cummins!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>KKR has been the team to beat all season. They&#39;ve dominated the points table, a fortress built on the explosive starts of Sunil Narine and Phil Salt, the solidity of Venkatesh Iyer, and the sheer power of Andre Russell. And let&#39;s not forget Mitchell Starc, the most expensive buy of the season, who&#39;s been worth every penny &ndash; remember his demolition job on SRH in Qualifier 1? It was pure fire!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>But SRH are no pushovers. They&#39;ve been the comeback kings, defying odds and rewriting records. Their batting, led by the young gun Abhishek Sharma and the classy Travis Head, has been a whirlwind, even smashing the highest IPL score ever &ndash; a mind-boggling 287!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>These two teams have already clashed twice this season, and both encounters were heart-stopping thrillers. But a final is a different beast. It&#39;s about nerves of steel, about handling the big occasion. KKR boasts two IPL titles, while SRH is hungry for their second.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>The battle lines are drawn. Starc and Cummins, two of the world&#39;s best pacers, will be breathing fire right from the first ball. Watch out for Iyer&#39;s tactical masterstrokes and Russell&#39;s brute force. Can SRH&#39;s openers continue their fireworks, and will the experience of Bhuvneshwar Kumar hold firm?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Chennai, the stage is set! The crowd will be a sea of yellow and orange, the noise deafening. Every ball will be a battle, a test of skill and temperament. This is a match for the ages, a night etched in IPL history. So, don&#39;t miss a single second! Turn up the volume, grab your favorite snacks, and get ready to witness the crowning of the IPL 2024 champions! Will it be the Knight Riders&#39; reign of consistency, or will the Orange Army rise to the occasion?

This is the third final at this venue and there have been high scores in both the previous finals. Not a lot of spin, but significant bounce. Unconventional shots and horizontal bat shots is what the batters will look to do against spin.

What a season. Probably the two most exciting teams in the final. I think we had a fantastic squad and we remained such a consistent side with contributions from everyone. That was a big part of our success. About the game tonight We lost the toss and got used to the ball first. Having watched the game two nights before here, we didn&#39;t know what to expect but the bowling unit showed all the skills they have and the wicket-taking balls. It was a lot of fun for me personally and we have got an exciting attack.&quot;<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#d35400\"><strong>Pat Cummins, <img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/SRH-text.png\" style=\"height:18px; width:40px\" title=\"\" \/> Skipper: &quot; I thought they bowled fantastically. We did not have enough on the board. We were outplayed tonight. They gave nothing away. Just like the last game in Ahmedabad. It was a tricky track to figure out. Didn&#39;t feel like a 200-plus wicket. 160 would have given us a chance. The style of our play, particularly with the bat, scoring 250 three times is a good feat. So it was a great season. I had not worked with many of the guys before but it was great working with them. A great squad and the staff was amazing. Had a great time.&quot;<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#8e44ad\"><strong>Shreyas Iyer, <img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/KKR-text.png\" style=\"height:18px; width:40px\" title=\"\" \/> Skipper: &nbsp;It was comprehensive. Every player responded well to what was demanded of them and stood up. It&#39;s difficult to express the feelings. So much to cherish right now. Today, we were lucky enough to bowl first. Everything went in our way. Congrats to SRH for the way they played throughout. It was a high-pressure game and Mitchell Starc had been so good off-field.

The loser is out. There is a nice breeze flowing across the ground, but the humidity is quite severe.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>We are on pitch number seven. It&#39;s interesting because this pitch hasn&#39;t been used at all in TATA IPL 2024. It&#39;s uniquely positioned in the square. It&#39;s just 61 meters to my left, 72 meters to my right, and 77 meters down the ground. Matthew Hayden is here with me. He has spent a few seasons here. This pitch looks darker compared to the others. What does that mean for us?&quot;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Hayden: &quot;This surface is extremely hard, made of black clay, which means it will hold together well. There will be a nice bounce for the pacers but not much turn for the spinners. The only advantage for spinners will be the huge boundary. In terms of runs, I feel it&#39;s a 175-180 kind of wicket. Don&#39;t be surprised if Sunrisers Hyderabad bat first if they win the toss, as their blueprint is to score massive and put pressure on the Royals.&quot;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Bishop: &quot;The groundsmen say there won&#39;t be any dew tonight.&quot;<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/commentaryFiles\/IPl Stats Temp 2024 (27)_1716558263.gif\" style=\"width:640px\" \/><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<br \/>\nTOSS: <span style=\"color:#ff0099\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/RR-text.png\" style=\"height:20px; width:31px\" title=\"\" \/>&nbsp;Won the Toss and Elected to Field First&nbsp; &nbsp;<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/commentaryFiles\/image (9)_1716559444.png\" style=\"width:640px\" \/><\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"color:#ff0099\">Sanju Samson |&nbsp;<img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/RR-text.png\" style=\"height:20px; width:31px\" title=\"\" \/>&nbsp;Skipper: &quot;We would like to bowl first, considering what Chepauk usually offers in the second stage of a match.We&#39;re doing our best to recover.

You lose and you go home. Both teams coming in with contrasting form. RCB, winning streak. RR on a losing streak. I&#39;m standing here just beside the pitch that was used yesterday and the boundaries were equidistant. Today, it is slightly different. Away to my right, 61 m. That&#39;s a short side. 68 m to my left and 73 m down the ground. Again, the captains will be looking for the match-ups and force the guys to hit to the bigger boundary. Matthew Hayden who could clear all these easily. Matthew come in and what do you think about tonight&#39;s surface?&quot;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Hayden:&nbsp;&quot;I see that it is very similar actually. It&#39;s quite dry. It&#39;s extremely firm. It&#39;s maybe got a little bit of grass cover. Last night, in my opinion, the dew dramatically affected the game. It became a lot better as the evening went on. It&#39;s currently now 43 degrees Celsius. It has been 48 degrees Celsius. It has been sweat on. But there is so much water in the surface that it is creating so much of dew.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>But on the surface, as a whole, also the wicket on this wicket has been something that the groundsmen had to control because of the heat. There was a little bit of seam movement early on and a little bit of swing. So watch out for those fast bowlers to get that movement laterally or through the air. Otherwise, this wicket was a very high-scoring wicket in the group stages. Lots of runs.&quot;&nbsp;<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/commentaryFiles\/IPl Stats Temp 2024_1716387245.gif\" style=\"width:640px\" \/><\/strong><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<strong>TOSS : <img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/RR-text.png\" style=\"height:20px; width:31px\" title=\"\" \/>&nbsp;<span style=\"color:#ff0099\">Won The Toss and Elected to Bowl&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/commentaryFiles\/Untitled_1716387030.png\" style=\"width:640px\" \/><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#ff0099\"><strong>Sanju Samson <img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/RR-text.png\" style=\"height:20px; width:31px\" title=\"\" \/>&nbsp;Skipper :&quot;We&#39;ve opted to bowl first, considering the dew factor later in the evening.

But the confidence will come back.In the first half of the season, my body wasn&rsquo;t moving well, and I had an abdomen injury. I wanted to put my body on the line for the team. It was about finding rhythm and hitting the right lengths. Transitioning from Test matches to T20s, your body needs time to adjust. As the tournament progressed, I needed a lot of repetitions.

Their eight-wicket triumph over the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the first qualifier left fans awestruck.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>KKR&rsquo;s opening duo, Sunil Narine and Rahmanullah Gurbaz, set the stage on fire. They pummeled SRH&rsquo;s bowlers, racing to 44 runs in the powerplay. Gurbaz&rsquo;s cameo ended at 23, but Venkatesh Iyer joined Narine in the assault. By the end of the fielding restrictions, KKR had already amassed 63 runs.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Skipper Shreyas Iyer and Venkatesh Iyer continued the onslaught. Their 50-run partnership was a masterclass in controlled aggression. Venkatesh&rsquo;s elegant fifty off 28 balls was matched by Shreyas, who reached his half-century in just 23 deliveries. The Iyers remained unbeaten, guiding KKR to victory in a mere 13.4 overs.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>KKR&rsquo;s bowlers were equally lethal. Mitchell Starc&rsquo;s fiery spell dismantled SRH. He dismissed Travis Head for a golden duck and sent Abhishek Sharma packing. Nitish Reddy and Shahbaz Ahmed fell victim to Starc&rsquo;s venomous deliveries, leaving SRH reeling at 39\/4.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>SRH fought back through Rahul Tripathi and Heinrich Klaasen. Their 62-run partnership steadied the ship. Klaasen&rsquo;s aggressive innings ended at 32, but Tripathi&rsquo;s gritty 55 kept SRH afloat. Unfortunately, a mix-up led to Tripathi&rsquo;s run-out, and SRH finished at 159.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>KKR&rsquo;s bowlers hunted in packs. Starc&rsquo;s 3\/34 stole the show, while Varun Chakaravarthy&rsquo;s economical 2\/26 added to SRH&rsquo;s woes. The bowlers paved the way for KKR&rsquo;s batsmen.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>SRH&rsquo;s missed catches and strategic blunders cost them dearly. Captain Pat Cummins&rsquo; early bowling gamble backfired, and the Impact Player strategy misfired.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>KKR&rsquo;s emphatic win propels them to the IPL 2024 final, their fourth appearance in the tournament&rsquo;s history. A decade after their last title, they stand on the brink of glory. Meanwhile, SRH faces the winner of the Eliminator, keeping their campaign alive.&nbsp;Shreyas Iyer become the first ever captain to lead two franchises to IPL finals, DC in 2020 and KKR in 2024 !<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Stay tuned for more IPL 2024 fireworks as the road to the grand finale unfolds!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n<img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/commentaryFiles\/image (12)_1716314913.png\" style=\"width:640px\" \/><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#d35400\"><strong>Pat Cummins <img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/SRH-text.png\" style=\"height:18px; width:40px\" title=\"\" \/>Skipper: &quot;We need to put this one behind us quickly. In T20 cricket, you have days when it doesn&#39;t work out. We earned the right to get another shot at reaching the final, and it&#39;s good we get another crack at it.It was just one of those days. A few guys didn&#39;t get starts, and we couldn&#39;t deliver with the ball either. We would have loved to have Umran on that wicket, but with wickets falling, we thought an extra batter was needed.I thought KKR bowled really well, and then the wicket got better for batting.Starting fresh at a new venue helps.

We weren&#39;t focused on the past but aimed to maximize tonight.The way each bowler stood up was brilliant. Even when we went at nine runs per over, the attitude to come back and pick wickets was crucial.Our bowling lineup&#39;s variety has been consistent. No one takes their place for granted, and we hope to continue the winning momentum.Gurbaz gave us an impactful start in his first game, and Sunil followed through. We made sure to carry forward that momentum.Communicating with Venkatesh was fun; he spoke Tamil, which I understand but can&#39;t speak, so I replied in Hindi (laughs).Right now, it&#39;s important to enjoy the moment. We&#39;ve won an important game, but come match day, we&#39;ll stay focused.&quot;<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#8e44ad\"><strong>Mitchell Starc <\/strong><\/span><strong>(Player of the Match <img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/ball.png\" style=\"height:23px; width:23px\" title=\"\" \/> )<\/strong><span style=\"color:#8e44ad\"><strong>: &quot;We know how important the powerplay is.

Swinging the ball and keeping it in line with the stumps, as we did in the powerplay, was key. Our spinners and the whole bowling unit performed great tonight.(On Head&#39;s wicket) Got lucky, I guess (chuckles). It was nice to get Trav out early, but he&#39;ll probably come out swinging in the next game. They&#39;re exciting to watch and hugely talented.Our attack is young and raw, with skillful players ready to step in if needed. Guys like Harshit have been phenomenal. Our whole bowling attack has been great, and it&#39;s wonderful to see them firsthand.

KKR, riding high on a wave of victories, aims to keep the juggernaut rolling. Meanwhile, the Royals, having hit a rough patch with four consecutive losses, are desperate to rediscover their winning formula. A triumph today would seal a top-two finish for them, no matter how the tides turn in the SRH-PBKS game.As we gear up for the final league fixture, it&rsquo;s a summit clash in Guwahati. The Knights, perched at the pinnacle, are unassailable at the top. But for the Royals, it&rsquo;s a do-or-die affair to clinch that coveted top-two berth after a string of defeats.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Reflecting on their last outing, the Royals faced a setback against the Kings, with Riyan Parag&rsquo;s valiant effort falling short. The Kings, led by Curran&rsquo;s captain&rsquo;s innings, overhauled RR&rsquo;s total with ease.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Now, as we stand on the cusp of the 70th match of this electrifying Indian T20 League, it&rsquo;s the final group game, a prelude to the playoff drama. Rajasthan, once a juggernaut with 8 wins from 9, now finds themselves in a must-win tussle to secure a top-two spot, sans their powerhouse Buttler. Kolkata, on a five-match unbeaten streak, will miss the services of their dynamo Salt, but Gurbaz is all set to step into those big shoes.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Rewind to their previous face-off this season at the iconic Eden Gardens, where Rajasthan chased down a mammoth 224 in a nail-biter.

Actually, I am not very happy saying it. But since we are in Guwahati, we are in the center of the ground. The square boundaries are 61m and 62m, pretty much equidistant. The straight boundary is the one that challenges the batters a bit more at 73m. The last game played here wasn&#39;t high-scoring, but we often see high-scoring games here.&quot;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Hayden: &quot;We&#39;ve got a cracking wicket for the game. It&#39;s a different-looking surface from the last game, which was low-scoring. Last year, Rajasthan Royals got 199 on this same wicket, and Delhi Capitals couldn&#39;t chase it down. So, I&#39;d suggest batting first. It&#39;s an extremely hard pitch with a good sheen to it, ideally prepared with an even covering of grass. There are a couple of areas on the pitch where the grass is missing but still has that sheen look. The ball will slide onto the bat. Remember, in the last game, the spinners came into play, and it was tricky for the batters who had to rotate the strike.

Captains need to consider this. The field dimensions are 66 meters for the square boundaries and 78 meters down the ground.&quot;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Lara: &quot;I&rsquo;m expecting a lot of runs because there&rsquo;s absolutely no grass on this surface. The lack of grass means the ball will get dirty quicker, which will help the spinners later on. However, given the aggressive nature of these two teams, I still expect a high-scoring game. There&rsquo;s a bit of cracking on the surface, but I don&rsquo;t think it will affect play for the next three hours.Any damage to this pitch will come from the bowler&rsquo;s foot marks. There might be a bit of spin later, but it&rsquo;s an absolute belter. SRH would love to finish this part of the tournament with another big score. Many teams fear bowling first against SRH. If I were the opposition, I&rsquo;d prefer to bat first. I believe that the winning captain, whether it&rsquo;s SRH or Punjab, will choose to bat first.&quot;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/commentaryFiles\/IPl Stats Temp 2024 (24)_1716111876.gif\" style=\"width:640px\" \/><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<br \/>\nTOSS : <img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/PK-text.png\" style=\"height:20px; width:54px\" title=\"\" \/>&nbsp;<span style=\"color:#c0392b\">Won the Toss and Elected to Bat&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"color:#c0392b\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/commentaryFiles\/SRHVSPBKS_1716114970.jpg\" style=\"width:640px\" \/><\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"color:#c0392b\">Jitesh Sharma |&nbsp;&nbsp;<img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/PK-text.png\" style=\"height:20px; width:54px\" title=\"\" \/>&nbsp;Skipper: &quot; We&#39;ve decided to bat first because the wicket looks good.

The Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) are on the brink of scripting history, playing their 100th T20 match on this sacred cricketing ground. With an unbroken winning streak on May 18th, the stadium has become a bastion of victory for RCB, a day when they&rsquo;ve consistently turned the tide in their favor.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>This season&rsquo;s narrative for RCB reads like a blockbuster movie script. After a dismal start that saw them at the bottom of the table, they&rsquo;ve surged back with a vengeance, stringing together wins that have left the fans spellbound. At the heart of this revival is the indomitable Virat Kohli, whose bat speaks a language of aggression and finesse, reminiscent of his golden run in 2016. The bowling contingent, too, has stepped up, transforming RCB into a cricketing powerhouse.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>The stakes are sky-high as they face the formidable Chennai Super Kings (CSK), now under the fresh captaincy of Ruturaj Gaikwad. RCB&rsquo;s mission is clear: they need a victory, and not just any win, but one that&rsquo;s emphatic enough to elevate their Net Run Rate and secure a spot in the playoffs. They need to outclass CSK by 18 or more runs or chase a target with a minimum of 11 balls to spare. Conversely, CSK&rsquo;s equation is straightforward &ndash; a win of any margin, or even a rain-induced washout, would propel them into the playoffs, simultaneously dashing RCB&rsquo;s dreams.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>As if the match itself wasn&rsquo;t thrilling enough, the weather adds a layer of intrigue, with the possibility of rain casting a shadow over the proceedings.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>With the countdown to this monumental clash underway, the anticipation is palpable. RCB&rsquo;s storied May 18th legacy and the milestone of their 100th T20 at the Chinnaswamy add an extra dimension to the drama. Will the stars align for RCB once again, or will this day mark a new chapter in their history? The stage is set, the players are ready, and the fans are waiting with bated breath for what promises to be an epic battle where glory and heartbreak are but a heartbeat away.&nbsp;<br \/>\n<br \/>\nHead-To-Head In IPL:<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/commentaryFiles\/Head to Head - 640 (33)_1716039739.gif\" style=\"width:640px\" \/><\/strong><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Milestone Alert<br \/>\n<br \/>\n1- <span style=\"color:#2980b9\">Dinesh Karthik<\/span><span style=\"color:#c0392b\"> <\/span>(299) needs one dismissal to complete 300 Dismissals in T20s.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>4- <span style=\"color:#d35400\">MS Dhoni <\/span>(46) needs four sixes to complete 50 sixes against RCB in IPL.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>7- <span style=\"color:#2980b9\">Virat Kohli<\/span> (2993) needs seven runs to complete 3000 IPL runs at Chinnaswamy Stadium.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>9- <span style=\"color:#d35400\">Ruturaj Gaikwad<\/span> (91) needs nine sixes to complete 100 sixes in IPL.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>44- <span style=\"color:#d35400\">MS Dhoni<\/span>(4644) needs 44 runs to surpass Suresh Raina and become the leading run scorer for CSK in IPL.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>76- <span style=\"color:#2980b9\">Virat Kohli <\/span>(7924) needs 76 runs to complete 8000 runs in IPL.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>88- <span style=\"color:#2980b9\">Dinesh Karthik <\/span>(912) needs 88 runs to complete 1000 runs for RCB in IPL.&nbsp;<\/strong><br \/>\n<br \/>\nVenue Stats In IPL 2024 at M.Chinnaswamy Stadium:<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/commentaryFiles\/IPl Stats Temp 2024 - 2024-05-18T185002_1716039824.jpg\" style=\"width:640px\" \/><br \/>\n<br \/>\nPlayers Battles To Watch Out For:<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/commentaryFiles\/Battles to watch out for (17)_1716039888.gif\" style=\"width:640px\" \/><br \/>\n<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Pitch Report | Danny Morrison and Deep Dasgupta:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Morrison: &quot;We are here for the blockbuster in the Garden City.

Traditionally, this is a good batting surface. The dimensions are 63m to my left, 60m to my right, and 70m straight down the ground. The shortest hit for the day is the third man pocket at 54m. The average score here has been on the higher side, around 199. I&#39;m joined by WV Raman.&quot;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Raman: &quot;This pitch is made of black soil and is nicely rolled. The curator has had ample time to prepare it as this is the first game here today. We can expect the batters to score heavily and perform well.&quot;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Deep: &quot;The pitch might appear cracked, but having covered many games at Barsapara, I can assure you it plays much better than it looks. Don&#39;t be deceived by its appearance. Last season, both games here were won by the team batting first.&quot;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Raman: &quot;While setting a total and defending it is possible, remember that India vs Australia T20I here saw Australia chasing a big score successfully in the final over. So, chasing could be a viable strategy.&quot;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Deep: &quot;Ultimately, whether you bat first or second might not matter as much.

Chinnaswamy Stadium. Both teams are in a do-or-die situation, making this contest not just a game, but a potential playoff decider.RCB, after a rough start to the season, has seen a remarkable turnaround, winning their last four matches. This resurgence has been spearheaded by Virat Kohli, who returned to form with a blistering 47-ball 92 in their last game against Punjab Kings. The team&#39;s morale is high, and they are aiming to continue their winning streak to keep their playoff hopes alive. A loss here, however, would eliminate them from contention.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>On the other side, DC is also in a tight spot, needing wins in their final games to secure a playoff spot. They come off a high-scoring victory over Rajasthan Royals, where their openers set up a big total, followed by a decisive bowling performance led by Kuldeep Yadav. However, DC will be without their regular captain Rishabh Pant due to a suspension, with Axar Patel stepping in as the leader for this critical game.The stakes are further complicated by the weather, with rain threatening to disrupt the game. A washout would be particularly detrimental to RCB, potentially ending their campaign, while DC could still survive but would prefer a full game to secure a win.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Both teams have their strengths lined up, with RCB possibly bringing in Glenn Maxwell or Lockie Ferguson based on the pitch and conditions, while DC might see the return of David Warner if he recovers in time from his injury. The tactical decisions, especially in the selection of the playing XI and the use of impact players, will be crucial in this high-pressure game.The matchup at the Chinnaswamy is set to be a thriller, with both teams aware that only a win can keep their playoff dreams alive. The passionate Bangalore crowd will be a significant factor, providing the home team with the extra boost needed in such a high-stakes game.

The skies are heavy today; we&#39;ve seen some raindrops earlier, and we&#39;re keeping our fingers crossed that the weather holds. We&#39;re on Pitch 8 today, which has a fascinating track record&mdash;182 was comfortably chased down here, 287 successfully defended, and just recently, RCB chased down 148 in just a few overs. Previously, this pitch was lush with live grass, but now it&#39;s been trimmed and is quite dry. Joining me is Matthew Hayden. Matthew, with the grass cut down from yesterday, how do you think this will affect the play today?&quot;<br \/>\n<br \/>\nHayden: &quot;What we&#39;re seeing is a pitch that&#39;s hard, dry, and completely devoid of grass. Previously, conditions like this really brought the quick bowlers into the game. Today, however, it seems the pacers might not have much of an advantage. This setup suggests we&#39;re in for another strong batting display. While it&#39;s uncertain if the spinners will find much grip, I&#39;m anticipating a high-scoring affair with totals possibly reaching or surpassing 190 once again.&quot;<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<br \/>\nTOSS UPDATE:&nbsp;<img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/DC-text.png\" style=\"height:20px; width:31px\" title=\"\" \/>&nbsp;<span style=\"color:#c0392b\">Won the Toss and Elected to Field first<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/commentaryFiles\/CSKVSRR_1715523202.png\" style=\"width:640px\" \/><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"color:#c0392b\">Axar Patel, <img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/DC-text.png\" style=\"height:20px; width:31px\" title=\"\" \/>&nbsp;Skipper:<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"color:#c0392b\"><strong>&quot;It&#39;s always a great wicket here, and considering it&#39;s a smaller ground, keeping them to a low score would be ideal.

As you might know, Rishabh was quite upset about his ban, as the bowlers were late, yet it&#39;s the captain who faces the consequences. Despite that, he&rsquo;s assured us of his support throughout.

At this point, every match is crucial, but we&#39;re coming in with a lot of confidence from our recent performances. Our approach is to first assess the conditions on the day and then decide when to ramp up the aggression. We really had to battle for this level of confidence early in the season, but now there&#39;s a strong sense of belief throughout the dressing room.

It was a night where RCB&#39;s fiery bats blazed through DC&#39;s bowling, with Rajat &quot;The Rocket&quot; Patidar lighting up the scoreboard with a dazzling 52 off 32, backed by Will Jacks&#39; rapid 41 and Cameron &quot;Run Machine&quot; Green&#39;s breezy 32*. As DC tried to douse the flames, Kuldeep Yadav found himself getting smoked for 52 runs, his wickets providing scant relief. The chase was a fizzler for DC, crumbling like a burnt-out Diwali sparkler, despite Axar Patel&#39;s gritty 57. The RCB bowlers, led by Yash Dayal with a sizzling 3\/20, and Lockie &quot;The Fast and the Furious&quot; Ferguson, turned the pitch into a graveyard of DC&#39;s hopes. The fielding was on lock, tighter than Fort Knox, snuffing out any sparks with crucial run-outs and catches. As the dust settled, the Bangalore fortress roared victorious, with the crowd&#39;s cheers echoing the fiery saga of a team refusing to back down. With this win, RCB not only spices up the points table but also sends a hot, sizzling warning to their rivals: the chase for the trophy is as heated as ever. Next up, another do-or-die clash looms&mdash;so grab your popcorn and brace for more explosive T20 drama!&nbsp;<\/strong><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/commentaryFiles\/image - 2024-05-12T233841_1715537335.png\" style=\"width:640px\" \/><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#c0392b\"><strong>Axar Patel,&nbsp;<img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/DC-text.png\" style=\"height:20px; width:31px\" title=\"\" \/>&nbsp;Skipper: &quot;The dropped catches definitely hurt us, costing us an extra 20-30 runs.

We&#39;ve put in great performances and there&#39;s a genuine sense of satisfaction. It all comes down to confidence, which we&#39;ve managed to find. Our batting has significantly improved, allowing us to post 200+ scores. Now, we&#39;re also seeing enhancements with the ball &mdash; taking wickets and bowling out the opposition, which is a fantastic feeling.In today&#39;s game, it wasn&#39;t so much about matchups but the conditions. The ball was swinging, which is why we used Swapnil sparingly since Axar was at the crease as well. We hope to give him more overs in the upcoming games.&quot;&nbsp;<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<strong>Player of the Match: <span style=\"color:#2980b9\">Cameron Green&nbsp;<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<span style=\"color:#2980b9\"><strong>Cameron Green: &quot;Yes, it was a great game for our team. Unfortunately, our strong performance came a bit late in the season, but we&#39;re still in the hunt, and that&#39;s what matters. We were initially concerned about not reaching a 200 score. However, taking early wickets was crucial, especially since the pitch was challenging. We got a bit lucky, assessed the conditions well, and executed our plans effectively. We realized that keeping the pace on the ball was beneficial for the batters, whereas taking the pace off worked better for us, particularly since there was no dew tonight. We spent a lot of time getting adjusted to these conditions. Compared to last year&#39;s pitch, which was a road, this year&#39;s pitch offers something for the bowlers, which is a welcome change.

In a pivotal IPL clash, the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) host the Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, with high stakes for both teams. CSK, reeling from a recent loss to Gujarat Titans, find themselves in a critical position, needing victories in their remaining games to secure a playoff spot. The team&#39;s performance has been hampered by injuries and inconsistency, placing them in a precarious fourth place tied with other contenders. The previous match saw CSK&#39;s bowling lineup struggle without key pacers, allowing GT&#39;s openers to post a massive total. Despite valiant efforts from Daryl Mitchell and Moeen Ali with the bat, CSK fell short by 35 runs. This loss has intensified the pressure on MS Dhoni and his squad to deliver back-to-back wins against RR and later against Royal Challengers Bangalore to avoid playoff elimination.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>On the other side, RR, led by Sanju Samson, is on the verge of securing their playoff berth. A win against CSK would not only seal their spot but also position them favorably for a top-two finish. Despite recent defeats, RR&#39;s overall campaign has been strong, marked by consistent performances from both their batsmen and bowlers. Key players for CSK in this crucial match will be their spinners, especially given the potential turn on the Chepauk pitch in an afternoon game. RR&#39;s familiarity with spin, highlighted by Ravichandran Ashwin&#39;s expertise, could play a significant role in the game&#39;s dynamics. As CSK confronts their challenges, questions linger about MS Dhoni&#39;s future in the IPL, adding an emotional layer to the encounter. This match not only holds significance for the playoff race but also could mark an end of an era if it turns out to be Dhoni&#39;s last home game.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>The narrative extends beyond the field as fans anticipate a thrilling contest. With both teams desperate for a win, the stage is set for a dramatic showdown at Chepauk, where strategy, skill, and perhaps a bit of luck will determine who advances closer to the IPL playoffs.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nHead To Head :-<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong><img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/commentaryFiles\/Head to Head - 640 (27)_1715522452.gif\" style=\"width:640px\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><br \/>\n<strong>Milestones&nbsp;&nbsp;<img alt=\"kiss\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/party.png\" style=\"height:23px; width:23px\" title=\"kiss\" \/>&nbsp;:-<br \/>\n<br \/>\n5 -&nbsp;<span style=\"color:#f39c12\">Moeen Ali<\/span> (95) needs five fours to complete 100 fours in the IPL.<br \/>\n5 - <span style=\"color:#ff33cc\">Sanju Samson<\/span> (395) needs five fours to complete 400 fours in IPL.<br \/>\n6 - <span style=\"color:#f39c12\">Daryl Mitchell<\/span> (294) needs six fours to complete 300 fours in T20s.<br \/>\n8 - <span style=\"color:#ff33cc\">Yashasvi Jaiswal<\/span> (1492) needs eight runs to complete 1500 runs in IPL.<br \/>\n100 - <span style=\"color:#ff33cc\">Trent Boult is all set to play his 100th game in IPL&nbsp;<img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/clapping.png\" style=\"height:23px; width:23px\" title=\"\" \/><\/span><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<br \/>\nBattles to Watch out for <img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/double-bat.png\" style=\"height:23px; width:23px\" title=\"\" \/>&nbsp;:-<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/commentaryFiles\/Battles to watch out for_1715507665.jpg\" style=\"width:640px\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Pitch Report:-<br \/>\n<br \/>\nPommie Mbangwa :-<br \/>\nIt&#39;s a scorcher out here today! Now, there&#39;s a slight quirk to this ground with the square boundaries measuring a bit uneven&mdash;66 meters on one side and 70 meters on the other. Straight down the ground, you&#39;re looking at a 79-meter hit. The surface itself is quite bare, not a blade of grass in sight, and with this heat, it&#39;s bound to dry out as the game progresses. Daren Ganga chimes in, suggesting that any initial moisture might make the pitch a tad tacky and sticky. We do expect some turn&mdash;this pitch has shown it before. Remember, CSK have cracked the 200-mark here twice this season, so understanding and adapting to how this pitch behaves in daylight will be crucial. That&#39;s the word down here, back to you!&quot;<br \/>\n<br \/>\nDarren Ganga:-<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Now, the key factor to start with is the water content in the surface. It&#39;s critical because, as you can see, there&#39;s no grass&mdash;it&#39;s a bare pitch. I&#39;ve spoken with the curator, and he assures me that the water content is normal. But with today&#39;s heat, maintaining that moisture will be the real test, particularly as it might get a bit tacky and sticky if it dries out, which could challenge the batsmen early on. Historically, this venue has favored the spinners. We&#39;ve seen six matches here this season, and spinners have turned the ball on average 2.1 degrees more than the tournament average. So, do expect the spin to come into play significantly. Looking at the scores, the first innings average here is 183 in day games, though it dips a bit in the evening. Chennai, however, has excelled on this pitch, scoring over 200 in both games they played here at night. So, the team batting first today will likely target a similar score, aiming to set a challenging total right out of the gate.&quot;<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/commentaryFiles\/IPl Stats Temp 2024 (19)_1715507912.gif\" style=\"width:640px\" \/><\/strong><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><br \/>\n<strong>TOSS UPDATE:&nbsp;<img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/RR-text.png\" style=\"height:20px; width:31px\" title=\"\" \/>&nbsp;<span style=\"color:#ff33cc\">Won the Toss and Elected to Bat first<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/commentaryFiles\/image - 2024-05-12T154346_1715508876.png\" style=\"width:640px\" \/><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"color:#ff33cc\">Sanju Samson,&nbsp;<img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/RR-text.png\" style=\"height:20px; width:31px\" title=\"\" \/>&nbsp;Skipper:-&nbsp;<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#ff33cc\"><strong>&quot;We&#39;ve chosen to bat first today as the conditions seem favorable, with a decent wicket typical of day games and no dew expected.

As the innings edged towards the climax, Parag and Jurel cobbled together a gutsy 40-run partnership to add some respectability to the scoreboard.

Shivam Dube added a rapid 18 off 11, and Sameer Rizwi&#39;s quick 15 off 8 helped propel the team to a competitive score.

Unfortunately, we ended up 20-25 runs short. Simarjeet bowled exceptionally well today, adapting to the conditions better than we did. Choosing to bat first seemed favorable at this venue, but as the game progressed, the pitch played slightly better than expected, especially in the second innings. Night games here typically favor chasing due to the dew, and with the summer heat intensifying, we anticipated the pitch would slow down further&mdash;it didn&#39;t quite pan out that way. The match stretching into the 18th over highlighted the challenging batting conditions. At this stage of the tournament, it&#39;s normal to be concerned about qualifications, but our focus remains on controlling what we can and sticking to our processes.

Early in the game, at 55-1, it felt like we were cruising, but cricket is unpredictable, and a couple of quick wickets can change the momentum. As a captain, my role was to anchor the innings, especially with so many stroke-players in our team. We felt comfortable throughout, with minimal pressure until the very end. Regarding the pitch, it&#39;s the kind we thrive on. It allows our spinners to come into the game, and with the boundaries being larger, hitting sixes involves a bit more risk. Our bowling strategy here is usually tailored to the conditions; we take the pace off when the pitch is slower and opt for yorkers on flatter tracks.&quot;<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<strong>Simarjeet Singh, Player of the Match:-<\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"color:#f39c12\"><strong>&quot;I&#39;m incredibly thankful to the CSK management, our physio, and my trainer for their exceptional support during my injury.

Their bowling attack, spearheaded by Varun Chakaravarthy and Mitchell Starc, has been equally potent, with Starc hitting his groove at the right time.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Mumbai, despite a recent win, hasn&#39;t enjoyed a smooth season. Their batting, heavily reliant on Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan&#39;s consistency, has sputtered at times. Suryakumar Yadav, however, has been a lone warrior, recently smashing a century. Their bowling attack, though boasting Jasprit Bumrah&#39;s brilliance, lacks consistent support.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>This match is a must-win for KKR. Victory not only secures a playoff spot but also bolsters their chances for a top-two finish in their final home game. For Mumbai, it&#39;s a chance to salvage pride and potentially disrupt the playoff race, offering glimpses of strategies for next season.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>The Eden Gardens, known for its passionate crowd, is expected to be electric. Will KKR capitalize on their home advantage and recent form to clinch a victory? Or can MI pull off an upset and add a twist to the playoff race?

Rain may have tried to disrupt the flow, but KKR, with their strategic minds in overdrive, orchestrated a heist that left Mumbai bewildered.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Opting to bat first, KKR unleashed an early blitz. Venkatesh Iyer, a firecracker at the top, blazed a trail with a scorching 42 off just 21 balls. Valuable cameos from Nitish Rana, Andre Russell, and the ever-reliable Rinku Singh ensured they posted a competitive 157 on the board. Jasprit Bumrah, Mumbai&#39;s fiery pacer, tried his best to extinguish the KKR batting fire, but it wasn&#39;t enough.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Mumbai&#39;s chase began with promise, with their openers stitching together a 65-run partnership. Ishan Kishan, the left-handed maestro, played a swashbuckling knock of 40 off just 22 balls. However, the tide turned dramatically with the introduction of KKR&#39;s spin twins, Sunil Narine and Varun Chakaravarthy. Narine cast his spell with the dismissal of the dangerous Ishan Kishan, while Chakaravarthy tightened the noose by removing the skipper, Rohit Sharma. The run rate plummeted faster than a dropped ice cream cone!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Andre Russell, the muscle incarnate, joined the party by picking up two crucial wickets &ndash; Suryakumar Yadav and Tim David &ndash; further derailing Mumbai&#39;s chase. Chakaravarthy, the man of the moment, finished with a spellbinding 2\/17, while Russell echoed his feat with a brace of his own. The pressure mounted with each passing over, and with 22 runs needed from the last over, the tension was thicker than fog in London. But young Harshit Rana, a knight in shining armor, rose to the occasion! He snatched the vital wickets of Naman Dhir and Tilak Varma early in the over, slamming the door shut on Mumbai&#39;s hopes and sealing a glorious victory for KKR.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>This win wasn&#39;t just a ticket to the playoffs; it also solidified KKR&#39;s claim for a top-two finish, thanks to their superior net run rate.<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/commentaryFiles\/image - 2024-05-12T005339_1715455538.png\" style=\"width:640px\" \/>&nbsp;<\/strong><br \/>\n<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"color:#2980b9\">Hardik Pandya <img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/MI-text.png\" style=\"height:18px; width:29px\" title=\"\" \/>&nbsp;Skipper : &quot;Our batting foundation was initially solid, but we failed to capitalize and maintain momentum, which ultimately cost us. The pitch was a bit inconsistent and slightly tacky, making it essential to keep the momentum going. Despite the challenging conditions, I think our bowlers performed well. It&#39;s notable that most of the boundaries were hit towards the wet covers area.Looking ahead to our last game, honestly, my approach is simple: just go out there, enjoy the game, and ensure we continue to play good cricket.

The team&#39;s comeback after the powerplay in the first innings was a tremendous effort.I don&#39;t dwell on past records; each day is a new opportunity. Despite the challenging weather, we finished strong. It&rsquo;s not always about who is the best; it&rsquo;s about who performs well on the day. Facing Varun in the nets yesterday was tough; his leg-spin was difficult to handle.

CSK, currently chilling at number four, need a win to keep their playoff dreams on a simmer. But for GT, languishing at the bottom of the table, this is a do-or-die clash &ndash; a win or their IPL journey goes up in smoke.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Despite their recent win against Punjab Kings, CSK&#39;s batting hasn&#39;t exactly been firing on all cylinders. While skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad has been a rock at the top, the rest of the top order, particularly Ajinkya Rahane, has been as consistent as a wobbly internet connection. Guys like Daryl Mitchell and Ravindra Jadeja will need to step up and become the middle-order anchors CSK desperately needs. But hey, on the bright side, their bowling attack has been a revelation! Even with key pacers Matheesha Pathirana and Mustafizur Rahman out injured, the rise of Tushar Deshpande and Jadeja&#39;s experience with the ball could put a serious dent in GT&#39;s batting plans.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>GT, on the other hand, come into this match with their backs against the wall. They&#39;ve been on a three-match losing streak, and their bowling attack has been about as effective as a wet firecracker. Their batting has shown flashes of brilliance with David Miller and Shahrukh Khan, but overall, it&#39;s been a patchy performance. But here&#39;s the thing: when a team has nothing to lose, they can be a real handful. Skipper Shubman Gill will be looking to prove his captaincy mettle and lead from the front. They might even pull a rabbit out of the hat and unleash some unexpected bowling heroes.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>CSK has a clear psychological edge, having won their last three encounters against GT, including the IPL 2023 final. But cricket, as they say, is a funny game, and past performance doesn&#39;t guarantee future success. Plus, CSK needs to keep an eye on their positive net run rate.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>This clash promises to be a spicy battle between a team desperate to stay alive (GT) and another determined to solidify their playoff spot (CSK). CSK&#39;s batting form and GT&#39;s bowling woes are the key areas to watch. While CSK might be the favourites on paper, GT&#39;s unpredictable nature with their backs against the wall adds a layer of delicious uncertainty.

It&#39;s a good wicket and it would have been ideal to know the target and then chase it down. We still have a slim chance of qualifying, about 1%, but as long as there&#39;s a possibility, we&#39;ll give it our all. The team&#39;s mood is like any other match; we believe in doing the best we can.The surface looks conducive for batting, so I&#39;m confident we can keep them to a manageable score and then put up a good total ourselves. I don&#39;t anticipate any dew, which could work in our favor.We&#39;re making two changes today: Wriddhiman Saha has a niggle and will be replaced by Matthew Wade.

Du Plessis has been instrumental, exemplified by his explosive 63 off 23 balls against Gujarat Titans, setting a high pace for the team. The bowlers, including Mohammed Siraj and Yash Dayal, have also stepped up, tightening their game at crucial moments.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>PBKS, however, has struggled with consistency, despite showing potential in high-stakes games, like their record chase against Kolkata Knight Riders.

Historically, the average first innings score for night matches here is 195. Batters typically find it tough to time the ball during the powerplay due to the extra bounce and something in the pitch for the fast bowlers. Spin could also be influential; accurate bowling can be quite effective on this surface. While it&#39;s a good batting wicket, there&#39;s a better balance with opportunities for bowlers too. Aiming for around 190 can set up a strong chance for a win.&quot;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/commentaryFiles\/IPl Stats Temp 2024 (4)_1715262198.gif\" style=\"width:640px\" \/><br \/>\n<br \/>\nTOSS UPDATE: <span style=\"color:#c0392b\">Punjab Kings won the toss and opt to bowl first.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/commentaryFiles\/image - 2024-05-09T193551_1715263674.png\" style=\"width:640px\" \/><\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"color:#c0392b\">Sam Curran <img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/PK-text.png\" style=\"height:20px; width:54px\" title=\"\" \/>&nbsp;Skipper : &quot;We&#39;re bowling first.

This win not only reignited RCB&#39;s playoff hopes but extinguished PBKS&#39;s flickering flame.<br \/>\nFaf du Plessis provided a quick early cameo for RCB before being dismissed by debutant Vidhwath Kaverappa. But the spotlight belonged to the evergreen Virat Kohli. Gifted a couple of early lifelines, Kohli feasted on the bowling attack, composing a scintillating 92 off a mere 47 balls. Seven boundaries and six towering sixes peppered his innings, leaving the PBKS bowlers shell-shocked. Kohli wasn&#39;t a one-man show. Rajat Patidar and Cameron Green provided crucial support, anchoring vital half-century partnerships. Their collective efforts propelled RCB to a staggering 241\/7, rewriting the record books for the highest T20 score at the Dharamsala stadium.<br \/>\nPBKS&#39;s chase sputtered from the start with Prabhsimran Singh departing early. A brief flicker of hope emerged with a 65-run stand between Jonny Bairstow and Rilee Rossouw (who smashed a fiery 61 off 27 balls). However, the RCB bowling attack, orchestrated by the crafty Karn Sharma and the fiery Mohammed Siraj, tightened the screws. Swapnil Singh&#39;s early breakthrough and Sharma&#39;s strategic bowling in the middle overs choked the flow of runs. PBKS&#39;s middle order, unable to handle the pressure, crumbled like a sandcastle, eventually falling short by a massive 60 runs.<br \/>\nThis comprehensive victory not only highlighted RCB&#39;s balanced performance but also exposed PBKS&#39;s inconsistency. While RCB marches forward with renewed momentum and a playoff berth within reach, PBKS heads back to the drawing board after another disappointing season. The night in Dharamsala belonged to RCB, a night where Kohli&#39;s brilliance and the bowling unit&#39;s collective effort outshone a spirited but ultimately outmatched PBKS side.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><strong><img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/commentaryFiles\/PBKSVSRCB_1715281090.jpg\" style=\"width:640px\" \/><\/strong><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#c0392b\"><strong>Sam Curran <img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/PK-text.png\" style=\"height:20px; width:54px\" title=\"\" \/>&nbsp; Skipper : &quot;It&#39;s slightly frustrating and obviously disappointing.

However, its fame remains. It&#39;s a central pitch today, which means there are no notably short boundaries; they are all roughly in the mid-sixties, varying by just a few meters, and the straight hit is particularly long. This setup favors spinners, who will appreciate the relatively larger boundary dimensions.&quot;<br \/>\n<br \/>\nHayden: &quot;We&#39;re at the peak of the Indian summer, and Hyderabad feels like a clay oven today&mdash;extremely hot and dry. The pitch itself is hard and has begun showing tiny cracks. I doubt we&#39;ll see a record score today. It looks like a pitch where 200 runs is feasible, thanks to a very fast outfield and minimal dew expected tonight. Fast bowlers will likely use their cutters effectively, particularly in the middle overs. Bowlers like Natarajan can exploit these conditions well, especially towards the end of an innings.&quot;<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/commentaryFiles\/IPl Stats Temp 2024 (17)_1715176003.gif\" style=\"width:640px\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<strong>TOSS: <span style=\"color:#2980b9\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/LSG-text.png\" style=\"height:18px; width:40px\" title=\"\" \/>&nbsp;Won the Toss and Elected to Bat first&nbsp;<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/commentaryFiles\/image - 2024-05-08T194157_1715177539.png\" style=\"width:640px\" \/><\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#2980b9\"><strong>KL Rahul&nbsp; <img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/LSG-text.png\" style=\"height:18px; width:40px\" title=\"\" \/>&nbsp;Skipper: &quot;We&#39;ll bat first.

Truly, a testament to their exceptional skill.They&#39;ve clearly worked incredibly hard on their six-hitting abilities, and it showed today. They didn&rsquo;t even let us assess the pitch in the second innings; they were just relentless from the start.The pitch itself didn&#39;t change much, but facing batters with such fearless intent, who connect from the first ball, poses a significant challenge. The only strategy to counter such aggression is to take early wickets during the powerplay. Unfortunately, we couldn&rsquo;t manage that today.After a loss, it&#39;s natural for decisions to be scrutinized. We fell short by 40-50 runs. Losing early wickets prevented us from building a strong innings, though Ayush and Nicky did well to help us reach 166.

They were unstoppable. I let them play their game; they&#39;re both incredibly positive and skilled.

With the pitch in Delhi proving to be a goldmine for batsmen this season, spectators can brace themselves for another high-voltage encounter.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>The Delhi Capitals, currently in a precarious sixth place, have shown flashes of brilliance but remain inconsistent. The dynamism of Jake Fraser-McGurk,combined with the power plays of Rishabh Pant and Tristan Stubbs, has been central to their strategy. On the other side, the Rajasthan Royals have exhibited a more robust form, anchored by their pacers who have been the most economical in the league with an average of 23.57. Their top-order has been prolific, despite some hiccups in the lower-middle order. The experience of their spinners and a formidable new-ball attack could be key in stifling DC&#39;s aggressive batting lineup.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Previous encounters this season saw the Royals narrowly edging out the Capitals, with a 12-run victory in Jaipur.

The ground&#39;s small dimensions are a big factor. To my right, the boundary is just 59 meters, and behind me, the shortest side is only 53 meters. The longest stretch on my left reaches 67 meters, and it&#39;s 75 meters towards mid-wicket.&quot;<br \/>\n<br \/>\nLara: &quot;The pitches initially had more grass, which masked the cracks. Now, more bare patches and cracks are visible. There&#39;s still a grass strip in the middle, but pitching up isn&#39;t effective as the ball slides under the bat. Bowlers should aim for a consistent good length. The pitch conditions seem secondary to how the batters are playing; another high-scoring game is likely.&quot;<br \/>\n<br \/>\nDeep: &quot;High scores are common here, and today should be similar, though slightly lower due to less grass. Talking with the curator, Ankit, he mentioned minimal dew lately.

Their batting needs a spark, especially at the top. Quinton de Kock&#39;s return is a sigh of relief, but all eyes will be on the in-form Marcus Stoinis, who&#39;s been a superhero with back-to-back winning knocks. Deepak Hooda and Nicholas Pooran add muscle to the middle order, but the loss of Mayank Yadav weakens their bowling. Spin wizard Amit Mishra might just weave his magic on this Lucknow turner.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>KKR, on the other hand, are riding a wave. Their batting boasts explosiveness at the top with Phil Salt and Sunil Narine, while Shreyas Iyer and Venkatesh Iyer hold the fort in the middle.

This venue is one of the bigger grounds. Straight down the ground is 76m, square boundaries - 68m and 61m respectively. The dimensions will make a bit of a difference, we&#39;ve seen the ball into the surface being used particularly with one side bigger than the other right throughout this tournament. When we come to the wicket, this is the third time that this surface is being used. There&#39;s a hint of green grass on it, but there are some bare red patches. We expect it to slow down a little bit more than it might have in the past.

The Chepauk drubbing still stings for CSK, and their top order, particularly Ajinkya Rahane, needs to find some form pronto. Ruturaj Gaikwad&#39;s flying form is a saving grace, but questions linger about their middle-overs mojo. Injuries haven&#39;t helped their bowling attack either, leaving them a tad patchy.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Meanwhile, PBKS are buzzing after their record run-chase and a convincing win over CSK. Jonny Bairstow&#39;s hot bat is a welcome addition to their batting line-up, while their bowling, especially the death bowling, seems to be plugging the leaks. This is a team on a roll, high on confidence and enjoying a bit of home advantage.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>So, can CSK bounce back and exact revenge, or will the in-form Punjab Kings continue their rampage? The answer hinges on a few key areas: Can CSK batsmen like Shivam Dube translate their practice nets pyrotechnics into match-winning knocks? Will the afternoon Dharamsala negate the dew factor that hampered CSK in Chennai?

Everyone seems to think it&#39;s good to lose the toss, but honestly, it matters to me. We initially thought we could push for a higher score like 180-200 given the start we had, but consecutive wickets fell, and we adjusted our target to 160-170, which felt slightly short. However, given how the pitch played later, it seemed just about par.<\/strong><\/span><span style=\"color:#f39c12\"><strong>Talking about Simarjeet&#39;s performance, he&#39;s really picked up pace, hitting around 150s in pre-season, though he didn&rsquo;t get many chances earlier with Deepak, Shardul, Tushar, Pathirana, and Fizz around. It&#39;s great that he got to play today. We considered an impact batter but opted for a bowler, thinking a good spell might secure more for us than a few quick runs.Overall, it&rsquo;s a huge relief to win, especially with all the injuries we&#39;ve had. This morning, we weren&#39;t even sure who would play, so I&#39;m really happy with how things turned out.&quot;<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<strong>Player of the Match :-<\/strong><span style=\"color:#f39c12\"><strong> Ravindra Jadeja :<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color:#f39c12\"><strong>&quot;The pitch for today&#39;s game was slow, which was pretty much anticipated due to the heat affecting it during this day game. In terms of our batting, we started strong in the powerplay but struggled to maintain momentum due to a lack of partnerships in the middle overs. I was aiming to establish a solid partnership to set up for a strong finish. As for our bowling, our pacers delivered upfront during the powerplay, with Tushar snagging two crucial wickets, and then Mitch and I managed to contain the opposition in the middle overs. Although the pitch appeared flat initially, it became challenging to play as the ball aged and didn&#39;t come onto the bat as expected. This being a new venue, it was tricky to predict the amount of turn or stoppage. We felt we were short by about 15-20 runs, but thankfully, our disciplined bowling in the powerplay and middle overs kept us in the game. My role as a batter is to anchor and build innings, looking to accelerate towards the end. However, when we lose early wickets, it&#39;s challenging to regain momentum, which is critical in matches that we eventually win.&quot;<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","MatchRow":53,"ProjectedScore":"139","2ndProjectedScore":"0","3rdProjectedScore":"0","MOM":"Ravindra Jadeja","MOM_TYPE":"Batting\/Bowling","MOMPlayerId":"46","MOMRuns":"43","MOMBalls":"26","MOMWicket":"3","MOMRC":"20","MOMImage":"https:\/\/scores.iplt20.com\/ipl\/playerimages\/NcCLI8nzgA171100732646.png","KO":""},{"CompetitionID":148,"MatchID":1434,"MatchTypeID":8,"MatchType":"T20 (N)","MatchStatus":"Post","MatchDate":"2024-05-04","MatchDateNew":"4 May 2024","MatchName":"Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Gujarat Titans","MatchTime":"19:30","GMTMatchTime":"14:00 GMT","GMTMatchDate":"2024-05-04","FirstBattingTeamID":35,"FirstBattingTeamName":"Gujarat Titans","SecondBattingTeamID":19,"SecondBattingTeamName":"Royal Challengers Bengaluru","FirstBattingTeamCode":"GT","SecondBattingTeamCode":"RCB","GroundID":12,"GroundName":"M Chinnaswamy Stadium","Commentss":"Royal Challengers Bengaluru Won by 4  Wickets ","TossTeam":"Royal Challengers Bengaluru","TossDetails":"Royal Challengers Bengaluru Won The Toss And Elected To Field","TossText":" Won The Toss And Elected To Field","Flag":1,"FirstBattingSummary":"147\/10 (19.3 Ov)","SecondBattingSummary":"152\/6 (13.4 Ov)","ClientMatchID":"","MATCH_COMMENCE_START_DATE":"2024-05-04 19:30:00","city":"Bengaluru","FlickrAlbumID":"","LiveStream":"","FBURL":"https:\/\/www.royalchallengers.com\/","T20ProMatchID":"","Temperature":"","WeatherIcon":"","TempUpdatedDate":"","GroundUmpire1ID":526,"GroundUmpire2ID":527,"GroundUmpire3ID":159,"RefereeID":116,"HomeTeamID":"19","HomeTeamName":"Royal Challengers Bengaluru","HomeTeamColor1":"#319490","HomeTeamColor2":"#df7317","AwayTeamColor1":"#319490","AwayTeamColor2":"#df7317","AwayTeamID":"35","AwayTeamName":"Gujarat Titans","timezone1":"Asia\/Kolkata","MatchEndDate":"4 May 2024","MatchEndTime":"23:30","MATCH_NO_OF_OVERS":"20","ROUND_ID":"26","MatchTypeName":"T20","RowNo":52,"TeamType":null,"CompetitionName":"Tata Ipl 2024","GroundUmpire1":"AKSHAY TOTRE","GroundUmpire2":"VINOD SESHAN","ThirdUmpire":"KN Ananthapadmanabhan","Comments":"Royal Challengers Bengaluru Won By 4  Wickets ","HomeTeamLogo":"https:\/\/scores.iplt20.com\/ipl\/teamlogos\/GT.png?v=1","AwayTeamLogo":"https:\/\/scores.iplt20.com\/ipl\/teamlogos\/aFPMviEPyJ1710927747rcb.png","MatchHomeTeamLogo":"https:\/\/scores.iplt20.com\/ipl\/teamlogos\/aFPMviEPyJ1710927747rcb.png","MatchAwayTeamLogo":"https:\/\/scores.iplt20.com\/ipl\/teamlogos\/GT.png?v=1","VideoScorecard":0,"TimeZone":"+9.5","CurrentStrikerID":"2022-100mb00000001483-5afb915c543411","CurrentStrikerName":"Swapnil Singh","StrikerRuns":15,"StrikerBalls":9,"StrikerFours":2,"StrikerSixes":1,"StrikerSR":166.66,"StrikerImage":"https:\/\/scores.iplt20.com\/ipl\/playerimages\/3IAmDJVxRX17110079001483.png","CurrentNonStrikerID":"2018-100mb00000000013-1031ba8ae99c11","CurrentNonStrikerName":"Dinesh Karthik","NonStrikerRuns":21,"NonStrikerBalls":12,"NonStrikerFours":3,"NonStrikerSixes":0,"NonStrikerSR":175,"NonStrikerImage":"https:\/\/scores.iplt20.com\/ipl\/playerimages\/JCXtEQbAYN171100789113.png","CurrentBowlerID":"2019-100mb00000000218-42d9d6f544bf11","CurrentBowlerName":"Rashid Khan","BowlerOvers":"1.4","BowlerRuns":25,"BowlerMaidens":0,"BowlerWickets":0,"BowlerEconomy":15,"BowlerSR":0,"BowlerImage":"https:\/\/scores.iplt20.com\/ipl\/playerimages\/wka0wrWIzF1711262830218.png","ChasingText":"","MatchBreakComments":"","MatchProgress":"","CurrentInnings":"2","1Summary":"147\/10 (19.3 Overs)","1FallScore":"147","1FallWickets":"10","1FallOvers":"19.3","1RunRate":"7.54","2Summary":"152\/6 (13.4 Overs)","2FallScore":"152","2FallWickets":"6","2FallOvers":"13.4","2RunRate":"11.12","3Summary":"","3FallScore":"","3FallWickets":"","3FallOvers":"","3RunRate":"","4Summary":"","4FallScore":"","4FallWickets":"","4FallOvers":"","4RunRate":"","5Summary":"","5FallScore":"","5FallWickets":"","5FallOvers":"","5RunRate":"","6Summary":"","6FallScore":"","6FallWickets":"","6FallOvers":"","6RunRate":"","DivisionID":"6","SecondInningsFirstBattingID":null,"SecondInningsFirstBattingName":"","SecondInningsSecondBattingID":null,"SecondInningsSecondBattingName":"","ThirdInningsFirstBattingID":null,"ThirdInningsFirstBattingName":"","ThirdInningsSecondBattingID":null,"ThirdInningsSecondBattingName":"","WinningTeamID":"19","MatchOrder":"Match 52","RevisedOver":"","RevisedTarget":"","PreMatchCommentary":"<p><strong>Royal Challengers Bengaluru is set to clash with Gujarat Titans in a pivotal reverse fixture in the match number 52 of the TATA IPL 2024 at the M.

This crucial encounter finds both teams at pivotal moments in their campaigns.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Mumbai Indians find themselves in a precarious position, ranked ninth with just six points from ten matches. Despite facing consecutive defeats, MI still has a slim mathematical chance to qualify for the playoffs, provided they win all remaining matches by substantial margins and other results go their way. A loss in this match, however, would officially eliminate them from playoff contention. The team has relied heavily on Tilak Varma, who has consistently stepped up to anchor the batting, while Jasprit Bumrah has been a standout in the bowling department, excelling in both wicket-taking and maintaining a low economy rate. However, concerns about the form of their captain, who has had a disappointing IPL season, remain a significant challenge. Mumbai Indians are eager to turn their fortunes around and rekindle their winning ways.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Kolkata Knight Riders come into this game riding high after a commanding win over Delhi Capitals, thanks to a stellar bowling performance by Sunil Narine and Varun Chakaravarthy. Prior to this victory, KKR experienced two tough losses against PBKS and RR, where they posted substantial totals but failed to secure wins. Positioned second in the table with 12 points from nine games, KKR is looking to solidify their playoff position with a couple more wins. Narine and Phil Salt have been crucial with the bat, providing the team with solid starts. With a confident squad, KKR aims to maintain their momentum and extend their winning streak.<\/strong><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>As both the teams gear up for exciting contests, the history says its Mumbai while the form says Kolkata.

The boundary sizes vary, with the shorter square boundary measuring 60 meters to my right and 65 meters to the left. Down the ground, it&#39;s 74 meters. Overall, the pitch looks conducive to good cricket.&quot;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Michael Clarke: &quot;From this end, the pitch appears dry, which could favour spin bowling. However, there&#39;s potential for pace and bounce from the other end due to the even grass covering. Winning the toss will be crucial, especially with the expected dew. Both teams have their strengths, with Mumbai relying on their quicks and KKR favouring spinners.

Our bowlers, though, did a fantastic job. The pitch got better after the first innings, and the dew factor came into play. We&#39;ll review the game and identify areas where we could have done better.In times like these, I always remind myself to keep fighting. You can&#39;t give up, even when the going gets tough.

Winning here at Wankhede after 12 years is truly special. We would have loved to savor this victory longer, but with another game in two days, our focus shifts to recovery. The impact rule played a crucial role in this game. Manish is a talented player, and it was great to see him build a partnership with Venky. All I had to tell the bowlers was that if we set a good total, we could defend it. The spinners were exceptional, executing our plans perfectly. Venkatesh Iyer&#39;s knock was fantastic.

Since I was hitting the ball well, I decided to anchor the innings, and it worked out nicely. This was the 4th or 5th time Manish was padded up, and finally, he got to bat today, all thanks to the impact player rule. It was beneficial to send someone like Manish to anchor the innings before Russell and Ramandeep. Throughout the innings, Manish guided me, offering insights on which bowlers to take on and which situations to handle. He&#39;s an experienced campaigner, and his mentorship was invaluable. Being a smarter cricketer allows you to make better decisions. While I could have taken on Piyush Chawla or any other seamer, I chose to play according to the situation. I&#39;m a huge fan of Dada so I sought his advice on my stance and position, which worked out well for me.

I think our bowlers were superb, the spinners and Jonny striking them well, even the way we paced that chase, it was brilliant.

Recent matches at Eden Gardens have consistently seen high scores, with two successful chases over 220 and a narrow miss, indicating a trend of high-scoring games this season.

Both teams are struggling in the lower half of the points table, with the visitors currently at the bottom. Royal Challengers Bangalore come into this match with a bit of momentum, having secured a win against Sunrisers Hyderabad in their last outing, breaking a streak of six consecutive losses. They are keen to build on this recent success, especially with their bowling unit showing significant improvement.<\/p>\n\n<p>On the other side, the Gujarat Titans are looking to recover from a narrow defeat against Delhi Capitals, where they lost by just four runs while chasing a formidable target of 225. A major concern for the Titans has been the lackluster performance of their middle order, which has contributed the least runs in the league so far this season. The team urgently needs these key players to step up if they are to compete effectively and return to winning ways. As both teams face off, Gujarat aims to leverage home advantage to overcome their challenges, while Bangalore looks to continue their revival in form.<\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>Head-To-Head In IPL:<\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/commentaryFiles\/Head to Head - 640 (15)_1714293412.gif\" style=\"width:640px\" \/><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>Potential Contenders for T20 World Cup:<\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>Since IPL 2023, Virat Kohli has been in exceptional form, amassing 1,098 runs in just 25 innings with an average of 52 and a strike rate of 142.78. His outstanding performance has earned him the Orange Cap in IPL 2024. Kohli&#39;s consistent run-scoring and extensive experience are crucial for India&#39;s prospects at the upcoming World Cup. Selectors are considering whether to utilize him as an opener or at the number three position, aiming to capitalize on his ability to anchor the innings. His role will be pivotal in providing stability and guiding the team through high-pressure situations, ensuring India can build substantial totals or chase down challenging targets.<\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/commentaryFiles\/Individual player stats (2)_1714294248.jpg\" style=\"width:640px\" \/><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Milestones Alert:-<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>49- <span style=\"color:#c0392b\">Faf du Plessis<\/span> (9951) needs 49 runs to complete 10000 runs in T20s<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>3- <span style=\"color:#2980b9\">Rashid Khan<\/span> (147) needs three wickets to complete 150 wickets in IPL<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>22- <span style=\"color:#2980b9\">Rahul Tewatia<\/span> (978) needs 22 runs to complete 1000 runs in IPL.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>76- <span style=\"color:#c0392b\">Virat Kohli<\/span> ( 12424) needs 76 runs to complete 12500 runs in T20s<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n\t<li><strong>VENUE STATS:<\/strong><\/li>\n\t<li><strong>T20 AT AHMEDABAD IN IPL 2024:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/li>\n\t<li><strong>WON <img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/cricket-bat.png\" style=\"height:23px; width:23px\" title=\"\" \/> FIRST: 1<\/strong><\/li>\n\t<li><strong>WON <img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/cricket-bat.png\" style=\"height:23px; width:23px\" title=\"\" \/>SECOND : 3<\/strong><\/li>\n\t<li><strong>AVG 1ST INN TOTAL: 154<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"color:#330000\">PITCH REPORT:&nbsp;<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color:#330000\">Michael Clarke and Graeme Swann: &quot; It&#39;s a hot day, 62m and 64m are the square boundaries while down the ground is at 72m.

What used to take a couple of overs to change is now happening in just a few balls. Given the intense pressure on the bowlers in such games, we&#39;ve backed ourselves to adapt.Reflecting on our performance, there were moments where we could have been more aggressive, particularly during the middle overs. With a left-arm spinner like Axar Patel bowling, our left-handed batters could have taken more chances, which unfortunately we missed out on due to a lack of game awareness.Jake Fraser-McGurk&#39;s batting was truly impressive. He displayed maturity by selecting the right balls to attack, taking calculated risks, and utilizing the field effectively. It&#39;s a testament to the fearlessness of youth.As for the decision to bowl first, I wouldn&#39;t change it.&quot;<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<span style=\"color:#c0392b\"><strong>Rishabh pant,&nbsp;<img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/DC-text.png\" style=\"height:20px; width:31px\" title=\"\" \/>&nbsp;Skipper: &quot;We were pretty satisfied with our score, crossing the 250-mark. However, the impact player rule adds a new layer of complexity to the game with each passing day. As for keeping up to the stumps, it&#39;s definitely something I can do. Yet, it requires coordination with the bowlers, especially when they&#39;re delivering full and wide deliveries. It&#39;s a strategy to keep the batters in check within their crease.Today, it worked well, particularly against a batter like David who tends to walk down the pitch. Fraser-McGurk has been outstanding since day one, displaying remarkable growth in each match. It&#39;s precisely the kind of progress you hope to see in a young player.Regarding our playoff chances, they&#39;re gradually improving, but we&#39;re adopting a game-by-game approach, focusing on the present without getting ahead of ourselves.&quot;<br \/>\n<br \/>\nJake Fraser - McGurk <\/strong><\/span><strong>is the Player of the Match&nbsp;<\/strong><span style=\"color:#c0392b\"><strong><img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/cricket-bat.png\" style=\"height:23px; width:23px\" title=\"\" \/><br \/>\n<br \/>\nJake Fraser - McGurk:&quot;<\/strong><\/span><strong><span style=\"color:#c0392b\">It was nerve-wracking out there.

Coming off a narrow victory over Royal Challengers Bangalore, KKR is well-positioned in second place in the points table and aims to maintain their winning momentum. On the other hand, Punjab Kings are struggling this season, having suffered back-to-back losses and languishing in ninth place on the leaderboard.

They boast the highest total of this IPL season at 287 runs. In contrast, Royal Challengers Bangalore find themselves in a precarious position at the bottom of the standings, having lost seven games. Despite their struggles, RCB posted the highest total in a losing effort this season (262 runs), and Virat Kohli leads the tournament in runs, wearing the Orange Cap with 379 runs from eight games.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Royal &nbsp;Challengers Bengaluru&#39;s main concern has been their bowling, as they have secured the fewest wickets in the tournament&mdash;only 34 in eight games&mdash;highlighting a critical area in need of improvement if they are to reverse their fortunes.

Marcus Stoinis emerged as the hero of the night, delivering a monumental innings that defied expectations. LSG won the toss and elected to field here at Chepauk considering the dew factor. CSK had a mixed start with Ajinkya Rahane falling early. Ruturaj Gaikwad, alongside Daryl Mitchell, steadied the innings. Despite Mitchell&#39;s early departure, Gaikwad&#39;s impressive knock of 108 not out and Shivam Dube&#39;s explosive 66 off 27 balls propelled CSK to 210. In the second innings, despite a shaky start with early losses, including Quinton de Kock and KL Rahul, LSG found themselves under pressure with a hefty target of 211. The game&#39;s pace changed dramatically as Stoinis, paired first with Nicholas Pooran and then Deepak Hooda, shifted gears dramatically. Stoinis not only scored a staggering 124 from 63 deliveries, but his innings also included a high-octane final over where he secured the win with three balls to spare.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/commentaryFiles\/MicrosoftTeams-image (20)_1713897445.png\" style=\"width:640px\" \/><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#f39c12\"><strong>Ruturaj Gaikwad, CSK Captain: &quot;Tough to accept, but good game of cricket. LSG played well. We had the game in control till 14 overs, but Stoinis played a great innings. Dew played a part and it took our spinners out of the game. Otherwise, we&nbsp;could have controlled the game better and taken it deeper. But these are parts of the game. Jaddu is batting at number 4 since we lost the second wicket within the powerplay. I thought our target wasn&rsquo;t enough.&quot;<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"color:#2980b9\">KL Rahul, LSG Captain: &quot;Very special. It was very special to pull it off from where we were before. Different conditions here. I think they started off really well and put us under pressure. 170-180 would&rsquo;ve been a great total here but they batted really well. Full credit to Stoinis. It was not just power hitting, it was very clever batting. You need to go harder in the powerplay and the impact player rule also gives you a bit more depth. There&rsquo;s no set plan, apart from the openers, everyone else is ready to go out whenever we feel it&#39;s right.&quot;<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Marcus Stoinis is the Player of the Match<span style=\"color:#2980b9\">&nbsp;&nbsp;<img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/crown.png\" style=\"height:23px; width:23px\" title=\"\" \/><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"color:#2980b9\">Marcus Stoinis:&nbsp;&quot;There were some bowlers we wanted to target and some bowlers we wanted to be more cautious against.

Out of the four games played here, teams batting first have won twice, while teams fielding first have also emerged victorious twice. Spinners haven&#39;t dominated over seamers as expected, and the team scores have generally ranged between 180 to 190. Tonight, we find ourselves in the middle once again, with square boundaries measuring 67 meters on either side and a straight hit distance of 76 meters.&quot;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Lara: &quot;This pitch is truly a sight to behold. It&#39;s dry, hard, and impeccably even. Addressing the question of why we haven&#39;t seen scores over 200, I believe it comes down to the lack of moisture, which typically provides bounce. Without that extra bounce, players may feel cautious about playing cross-batted shots against bowlers targeting the stumps directly. While the pitch remains conducive to batting and we may still witness scores close to 200, surpassing that milestone would likely require a bit more bounce. Nonetheless, it&#39;s a beautiful pitch to bat on, and with two formidable batting teams like the Mumbai Indians and the Rajasthan Royals, we&#39;re in for an exciting contest.&quot;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><br \/>\n<img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/commentaryFiles\/IPl Stats Temp 2024 (1)_1713795955.gif\" style=\"width:640px\" \/><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<strong>TOSS UPDATE :&nbsp; <span style=\"color:#2980b9\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/MI-text.png\" style=\"height:18px; width:29px\" title=\"\" \/>&nbsp;WON THE TOSS AND ELECTED TO BAT FIRST&nbsp;<img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/cricket-bat.png\" style=\"height:23px; width:23px\" title=\"\" \/>&nbsp;<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/commentaryFiles\/MicrosoftTeams-image (23)_1713796090.png\" style=\"width:640px\" \/>&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#2980b9\">&nbsp;<strong>Hardik Pandya&nbsp; <img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/MI-text.png\" style=\"height:18px; width:29px\" title=\"\" \/>Skipper : &quot;We are going to bat first.

His unbeaten 104 off a mere 60 deliveries &ndash; his second century against Mumbai and his first of the season &ndash; sealed the win in style.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Mumbai&#39;s bowling attack, usually their strength, faltered under pressure. Jasprit Bumrah (0 wickets, 37 runs) and debutant Nuwan Thushara (0 wickets, 28 runs) were expensive, while dropped catches added to their misery. However, the story of the night belonged to Rajasthan&#39;s Sandeep Sharma, who ripped through the Mumbai batting order with a career-best spell of 5\/18.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/commentaryFiles\/image_1713811994.png\" style=\"width:640px\" \/><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"color:#2980b9\">Hardik Pandya <img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/MI-text.png\" style=\"height:18px; width:29px\" title=\"\" \/>&nbsp;Skipper : &quot;I think we put ourselves in trouble early on.

People are professional enough to understand what they need to do when they get a break, so I am really happy with the approach.Y. Jaiswal always gets confidence. We knew it&#39;s just a matter of one game. The way he batted in the powerplay, he was calm and composed, knowing that things are in control.

I got fit just two days ago, so this is my first game after recovery. Feeling really good. The pitch was on the slower and lower side, so my plan was to keep bowling those variations, including cutters. It worked out really nicely tonight.If you&#39;re bowling in the end, you have to have a big heart. As we&#39;ve seen in this IPL, bowlers are under pressure and batsmen are going big. So it&#39;s important to keep believing in yourself, and execute your variations and plans. That&#39;s what I&#39;m trying to do, and I&#39;m enjoying myself. As you know, two years ago, I went unsold and came in as a replacement.

Chasing a below-par total of 143 runs, GT emerged triumphant by 3 wickets with 5 balls to spare, thanks to a late onslaught by the swashbuckling Rahul Tewatia. Opting to bat first, Punjab Kings got off to a promising start with openers Prabhsimran Singh and Sam Curran stitching together a 52-run partnership. However, their batting woes resurfaced as wickets fell in quick succession. The middle order failed to capitalize, leaving the team reeling at 99\/7 after 16 overs. A late cameo from Harpreet Brar (29 runs off 12 balls) provided a much-needed boost, taking Punjab past the 140-run mark. The innings eventually folded for a meager 142 runs, with Sai Kishore wreaking havoc for Gujarat Titans, claiming a four-wicket haul. Mohit Sharma and Noor Ahmad chipped in with two wickets each, while Rashid Khan picked up one. Gujarat&#39;s chase began on a shaky note as they lost their prolific wicket-keeper batsman Wriddhiman Saha early on. However, the young guns Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan displayed maturity, consolidating the innings with a 40-run partnership. Just as GT seemed to be in control, Liam Livingstone rattled their batting order, dismissing the dangerous David Miller and the in-form Gill. With the score reading 89\/4 and victory slipping away, Rahul Tewatia rose to the occasion. He played a blistering knock of 36 runs off just 18 balls, peppering the boundaries with his trademark sixes. His aggressive batting reignited Gujarat&#39;s hopes and put the pressure back on Punjab. Despite losing a couple of late wickets, GT secured a thrilling victory with 5 balls remaining, thanks to Tewatia&#39;s heroics.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><strong><img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/commentaryFiles\/MicrosoftTeams-image_1713723554.png\" style=\"width:640px\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"color:#c0392b\">Sam Curran&nbsp; <img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/PK-text.png\" style=\"height:20px; width:54px\" title=\"\" \/>&nbsp;Skipper: &quot;I believe we fell short by about 10-15 runs.

Let&#39;s delve into recent history. Last time at Eden Gardens, Kolkata Knight Riders amassed 223, with Sunil Narine even reaching a century. Despite that, Rajasthan Royals successfully chased down the target. So, you&#39;d expect a plethora of runs on this pitch. However, being an afternoon game alters the dynamics entirely. Let me quickly remind you of the boundaries: one short boundary to my right, roughly 61 meters, and to the left, 66 meters.&quot;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Swann: &quot;Oh, it&#39;s incredibly hot out here today, a scorching <span style=\"color:#d35400\">43 degrees<\/span> in the middle. This pitch is going to feel the brunt of it. It&#39;s parched, very dry indeed. This strip has been used before, and there&#39;s one fascinating aspect I&#39;d like to point out. Most of the pitch is fairly even, but there&#39;s this distinct band here in the good length area. It&#39;s a big circle of dryness, forming a slight arc across the wicket. The grass has been trimmed more in this section, making it a tad plainer than the rest. Whether this translates to drier conditions or more sun exposure remains to be seen. Spinners might find this intriguing as it&#39;s about a spinner&#39;s length. Bowling from that end could yield some movement, but overall, this pitch looks fantastic, and I anticipate a run-fest.&quot;<\/strong><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Manjrekar: &quot;The burning question for an afternoon clash: win the toss, what&#39;s your call?&quot;<\/strong><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Swann: &quot;I&#39;d opt to bat first. It might not be the popular choice as many prefer to chase, but considering the intense heat, it could prove to be a significant advantage. So, my vote goes to batting first.&quot;&nbsp;<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/commentaryFiles\/IPl Stats Temp 2024 (3)_1713692630.gif\" style=\"width:640px\" \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<strong>TOSS UPDATE :&nbsp;&nbsp;<img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/RCB-text.png\" style=\"height:18px; width:40px\" title=\"\" \/>&nbsp;<span style=\"color:#27ae60\">WON THE TOSS AND ELECTED TO FIELD FIRST&nbsp;<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"color:#27ae60\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/commentaryFiles\/MicrosoftTeams-image (2)_1713694551.png\" style=\"width:640px\" \/><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<span style=\"color:#27ae60\"><strong>Faf du Plessis <img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/RCB-text.png\" style=\"height:18px; width:40px\" title=\"\" \/>&nbsp;Skipper : &quot;We&#39;ve decided to chase. Eden Gardens has a history of favoring the chasing side, and we&#39;ll stick to that strategy today. We observed the conditions yesterday, and it did get cooler after a while, so we&#39;ll look to adapt accordingly. T20 cricket has evolved, and even conceding runs in the powerplay doesn&#39;t necessarily mean poor bowling. The key is to take wickets consistently, even if the opposition is scoring, and capitalize on the latter part of their innings.&quot;&nbsp;<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<span style=\"color:#8e44ad\"><strong>Shreyas Iyer <img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/KKR-text.png\" style=\"height:18px; width:40px\" title=\"\" \/>&nbsp;Skipper: &quot;Last time around, we played an afternoon game here, so we&#39;ve got a good sense of how the pitch behaves.

It&#39;s crucial to adapt quickly to the conditions, execute our plans, and play each ball on its merit.

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) engaged in a high-octane battle, culminating in a heart-stopping finish that saw KKR edge out by the slimmest of margins, a solitary run. The day commenced with KKR taking the crease first after RCB opted to field. The innings started on a shaky note with Sunil Narine returning to the pavilion early, managing only 10 runs off 15 balls. Despite Sunil Narine&#39;s early dismissal, Phil Salt set the stage ablaze.&nbsp;Displaying a masterclass in aggressive batting, Salt blazed through RCB&#39;s bowling lineup, hammering 48 runs from just 14 balls, electrifying the crowd with his audacious strokes. Though Angkrish Raghuvanshi and Venkatesh Iyer couldn&rsquo;t make significant contributions, scoring 3 and 16 runs respectively, it was Shreyas Iyer who anchored the innings. Displaying maturity and finesse, Shreyas crafted a well-composed 50 off 36 balls. The innings was further bolstered by cameos from Rinku Singh, who added a quickfire 24, and the duo of Andre Russell and Ramandeep Singh, who remained not out, contributing 27 and 24 runs respectively to set a formidable target of 222\/6 for RCB. As RCB began their chase, Virat Kohli launched an onslaught, albeit briefly, smashing 18 runs off just 7 balls before his dismissal. Faf du Plessis, usually reliable, faltered and was dismissed for 7, leaving RCB in a precarious position. However, the tide turned with Will Jacks and Rajat Patidar at the crease. The pair orchestrated a stunning display of batting, both reaching their fifties and adding over 100 runs together, momentarily putting RCB in a dominant position. But the game was far from over. Andre Russell, known for his knack for crucial breakthroughs, was introduced into the attack and delivered spectacularly by removing both set batters in a single over. This pivotal moment swung the momentum back in favour of KKR as RCB began losing wickets at regular intervals. Despite a valiant 25 from Dinesh Karthik, RCB found themselves needing 21 runs from the final over with Karn Sharma on strike. In an over that defined the term &#39;cliffhanger,&#39; Sharma hammered Mitchell Starc for three sixes in four balls, dramatically reducing the equation to 3 runs needed from the final two deliveries. The penultimate ball saw Starc taking a stunning low catch off his own bowling to dismiss Sharma. With one ball left and the scores almost level, Lockie Ferguson came to the crease, managed to score only one run, and was run out while attempting the second run that would have tied the game. This last-ball thriller, where the match hung in balance till the final moment, was a showcase of cricket at its most exhilarating. The pendulum of fortune swung wildly before resting in KKR&#39;s favour, concluding a match that was nothing less than a saga of dramatic twists, individual brilliance, and nerve-wracking excitement.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/commentaryFiles\/MicrosoftTeams-image_1713712504.png\" style=\"width:640px\" \/><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#27ae60\"><strong>Faf du Plessis <img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/RCB-text.png\" style=\"height:18px; width:40px\" title=\"\" \/>&nbsp;Skipper: &quot;<\/strong><\/span><span style=\"color:#27ae60\"><strong>It was crazy, rules are rules. Virat and I thought that the ball was higher than the waist (on Kohli&#39;s dismissal). I guess they measured from the popping crease. One team thinks it&#39;s high, the other doesn&#39;t. That&#39;s how the game goes at times. Then the partnership, it was magnificent (on the Jacks-Patidar partnership), but when you don&#39;t win too many games, some sort of panic sets in and the Narine over was game-changing. You don&#39;t feel that you have time to settle down and bat (on the evolution of the IPL this season). The game doesn&#39;t allow it to do that; obviously, you have an extra batter, but in chases like these, you have to keep going. The match-up against Narine, I thought that was the game-changing over. The small things, I am actually proud of the boys tonight, the way we bowled and fielded. We did give away a couple of big overs towards the end, but I thought we kept them down to a par score. We thought we&#39;ll go hard in the batting powerplay, find those boundaries at the start of the innings. We were desperate, 10\/10 from an effort perspective, the way we put up the effort on the ground, the faces told the story. We&#39;ve got an unbelievable fanbase, we want to make them happy, we want them to have a smile on their face. We&#39;ll have to continue putting in our efforts and try to change things around.&quot;&nbsp;<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<span style=\"color:#8e44ad\"><strong>Shreyas Iyer <img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/KKR-text.png\" style=\"height:18px; width:40px\" title=\"\" \/>&nbsp;Skipper: &quot;It takes a lot off your body and drains you out completely because you go through so many emotions. It&rsquo;s tough to stay calm but I&rsquo;m elated. We got two points on the board and that&rsquo;s all that matters. It&rsquo;s extremely tough when the pressure is on; I feel that every individual should put their hands up and take the responsibility. Russell did that by picking up two wickets and completely changed the game in our favor; that kind of attitude is needed in the team. It&rsquo;s a funny game, when you need 18 runs off 6 balls, the pressure is on the bowler. One six here and there, it completely changes the momentum. It is important that we maintain our calmness and stay in the present and make the batter hit where you want them to hit. We need to stick to our routines and processes and see to it that we execute the things we want. It was a pivotal knock; I wanted to stay till the end and steady the ship. We were losing wickets and I wanted to stay till the end and see it off. We got some important boundaries towards the end and I was very happy about that.&quot;<br \/>\n<br \/>\nAndre Russell, Player of the match&nbsp; <img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/double-bat.png\" style=\"height:23px; width:23px\" title=\"\" \/>:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#8e44ad\"><strong>&quot;Thanks to the almighty. I always back my bowling as I said earlier. Getting the ball at a crucial time, I knew that I had to come good and thankfully it happened today. Happy for the two points. When I was batting earlier, change of pace was difficult to hit. As a bowler that&rsquo;s what I wanted to do. The slower balls were gripping and holding. Was happy to get the two set batters out and I think that&rsquo;s what changed the game. Those two wickets from Narine were also very important and that&rsquo;s what started the slide for RCB. When I look at the bowling equation, I had two left and I conditioned myself to bowl that (19th) over. Tried to give Starc as many runs as I could. DK wasn&rsquo;t getting off strike so I looked at bowling 6 deliveries to him and mix it up, thankfully it worked.&quot;<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","MatchRow":36,"ProjectedScore":"221","2ndProjectedScore":"0","3rdProjectedScore":"0","MOM":"Andre Russell","MOM_TYPE":"Batting\/Bowling","MOMPlayerId":"141","MOMRuns":"27","MOMBalls":"20","MOMWicket":"3","MOMRC":"25","MOMImage":"https:\/\/scores.iplt20.com\/ipl\/playerimages\/k9HNNNr5UH1711106337141.png","KO":""},{"CompetitionID":148,"MatchID":1417,"MatchTypeID":8,"MatchType":"T20 (N)","MatchStatus":"Post","MatchDate":"2024-04-20","MatchDateNew":"20 Apr 2024","MatchName":"Delhi Capitals vs Sunrisers Hyderabad","MatchTime":"19:30","GMTMatchTime":"14:00 GMT","GMTMatchDate":"2024-04-20","FirstBattingTeamID":20,"FirstBattingTeamName":"Sunrisers Hyderabad","SecondBattingTeamID":14,"SecondBattingTeamName":"Delhi Capitals","FirstBattingTeamCode":"SRH","SecondBattingTeamCode":"DC","GroundID":17,"GroundName":"Arun Jaitley Stadium","Commentss":"Sunrisers Hyderabad Won by 67  Runs ","TossTeam":"Delhi Capitals","TossDetails":"Delhi Capitals Won The Toss And Elected To Field","TossText":" Won The Toss And Elected To Field","Flag":0,"FirstBattingSummary":"266\/7 (20.0 Ov)","SecondBattingSummary":"199\/10 (19.1 Ov)","ClientMatchID":"","MATCH_COMMENCE_START_DATE":"2024-04-20 19:30:00","city":"Delhi","FlickrAlbumID":"","LiveStream":"","FBURL":"https:\/\/insider.in\/tata-ipl-2024-match35-delhi-capitals-vs-sunrisers-hyderabad-april20\/event?utm_source=IPL&utm_medium=website","T20ProMatchID":"","Temperature":"","WeatherIcon":"","TempUpdatedDate":"","GroundUmpire1ID":129,"GroundUmpire2ID":221,"GroundUmpire3ID":363,"RefereeID":220,"HomeTeamID":"14","HomeTeamName":"Delhi Capitals","HomeTeamColor1":"#319490","HomeTeamColor2":"#df7317","AwayTeamColor1":"#319490","AwayTeamColor2":"#df7317","AwayTeamID":"20","AwayTeamName":"Sunrisers Hyderabad","timezone1":"Asia\/Kolkata","MatchEndDate":"20 Apr 2024","MatchEndTime":"23:30","MATCH_NO_OF_OVERS":"20","ROUND_ID":"26","MatchTypeName":"T20","RowNo":35,"TeamType":null,"CompetitionName":"Tata Ipl 2024","GroundUmpire1":"Navdeep Singh","GroundUmpire2":"Madanagopal Jayaraman","ThirdUmpire":"Tapan Balwant Sharma","Comments":"Sunrisers Hyderabad Won By 67  Runs ","HomeTeamLogo":"https:\/\/scores.iplt20.com\/ipl\/teamlogos\/SRH.png","AwayTeamLogo":"https:\/\/scores.iplt20.com\/ipl\/teamlogos\/DC.png","MatchHomeTeamLogo":"https:\/\/scores.iplt20.com\/ipl\/teamlogos\/DC.png","MatchAwayTeamLogo":"https:\/\/scores.iplt20.com\/ipl\/teamlogos\/SRH.png","VideoScorecard":0,"TimeZone":"+9.5","CurrentStrikerID":"2018-100mb00000000018-6e65e6f7e99c11","CurrentStrikerName":"Rishabh Pant","StrikerRuns":44,"StrikerBalls":35,"StrikerFours":5,"StrikerSixes":1,"StrikerSR":125.71,"StrikerImage":"https:\/\/scores.iplt20.com\/ipl\/playerimages\/CBJeO6dA8l171117091218.png","CurrentNonStrikerID":"2022-100mb00000001462-cbc59298427c11","CurrentNonStrikerName":"Mukesh Kumar","NonStrikerRuns":0,"NonStrikerBalls":2,"NonStrikerFours":0,"NonStrikerSixes":0,"NonStrikerSR":0,"NonStrikerImage":"https:\/\/scores.iplt20.com\/ipl\/playerimages\/mtYoBn1aVp17111708761462.png","CurrentBowlerID":"2023-100mb00000001944-c9a4b0e8c40511","CurrentBowlerName":"Nitish Kumar Reddy","BowlerOvers":"2.1","BowlerRuns":17,"BowlerMaidens":0,"BowlerWickets":2,"BowlerEconomy":7.85,"BowlerSR":6.5,"BowlerImage":"https:\/\/scores.iplt20.com\/ipl\/playerimages\/IozBAaYkzy17111722041944.png","ChasingText":"","MatchBreakComments":"","MatchProgress":"","CurrentInnings":"2","1Summary":"266\/7 (20.0 Overs)","1FallScore":"266","1FallWickets":"7","1FallOvers":"20.0","1RunRate":"13.3","2Summary":"199\/10 (19.1 Overs)","2FallScore":"199","2FallWickets":"10","2FallOvers":"19.1","2RunRate":"10.38","3Summary":"","3FallScore":"","3FallWickets":"","3FallOvers":"","3RunRate":"","4Summary":"","4FallScore":"","4FallWickets":"","4FallOvers":"","4RunRate":"","5Summary":"","5FallScore":"","5FallWickets":"","5FallOvers":"","5RunRate":"","6Summary":"","6FallScore":"","6FallWickets":"","6FallOvers":"","6RunRate":"","DivisionID":"6","SecondInningsFirstBattingID":null,"SecondInningsFirstBattingName":"","SecondInningsSecondBattingID":null,"SecondInningsSecondBattingName":"","ThirdInningsFirstBattingID":null,"ThirdInningsFirstBattingName":"","ThirdInningsSecondBattingID":null,"ThirdInningsSecondBattingName":"","WinningTeamID":"20","MatchOrder":"Match 35","RevisedOver":"","RevisedTarget":"","PreMatchCommentary":"<p><strong>Hello and welcome to the live coverage of TATA IPL 2024 match 35, which marks the end of the first half of the group stage.

Their bowling, however, has been a cause for concern. While Pat Cummins and T Natarajan have impressed so far, the rest of the attack has leaked runs. SRH will need to tighten things up if they want to continue their winning ways.&nbsp;For DC, bowling has been their trump card in recent wins. The Indian pace trio of Ishant Sharma, Khaleel Ahmed, and Mukesh Kumar have been firing on all cylinders. Spinners Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel add further depth to a well-balanced attack.&nbsp;The arrival of Jake Fraser-McGurk has bolstered the DC batting line-up. He and the experienced duo of Rishabh Pant and Prithvi Shaw provide a solid foundation. However, a question mark hangs over David Warner&#39;s availability, which could be a concern for the Capitals.&nbsp;This match promises to be a thrilling battle between a resurgent DC bowling attack and a free-scoring SRH batting line-up. Can the Capitals contain the orange brigade&#39;s batting blitz? Or will SRH continue their record-breaking run?

SRH, after being put to bat first, unleashed carnage from the get-go. The opening duo of Travis Head (89 off 32 balls) and Abhishek Sharma (46 off 12 balls) tore into the DC bowling, putting on a record-breaking 131-run partnership in just 38 balls! The powerplay was a nightmare for the Capitals as SRH amassed a staggering 125 runs. The onslaught continued with valuable contributions from Nitish Kumar Reddy (37 off 27 balls), Shahbaz Ahmed (59 off 29 balls), and Abdul Samad (13 off 8 balls). SRH finished their innings at a mammoth 266\/7, the highest total in IPL history for the third time this season!&nbsp;Only the spin duo of Kuldeep Yadav (4-55) and Axar Patel (1-29) offered some resistance for DC. The pacers were taken to the cleaners, with Mukesh Kumar picking up a solitary wicket but conceding a lot of runs.&nbsp;Chasing a near-impossible target of 267, DC started brightly. Impact player Prithvi Shaw smashed four boundaries in the opening over but was dismissed cheaply by Washington Sundar. David Warner also departed early. However, Jake Fraser-McGurk (65 off 18 balls) and Abhishek Porel (42 off 22 balls) provided a glimmer of hope with their aggressive knocks. But the dismissal of Porel triggered a collapse, and DC were eventually bowled out for 199 in 19.1 overs.T Natarajan (4-19) was the wrecker-in-chief for SRH, picking up four crucial wickets. Nitish Kumar Reddy, Mayank Markande, Washington Sundar, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar chipped in with wickets as well.&nbsp;This comprehensive 67-run victory propels SRH to the second position in the points table. For DC, it&#39;s a bitter pill to swallow as they lose their first game at home. The match highlighted the destructive power of the SRH batting line-up and the need for DC to strengthen their bowling attack, especially their pace department.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/commentaryFiles\/image (1)_1713637970.png\" style=\"width:640px\" \/><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#2980b9\"><strong>Rishabh Pant&nbsp;<img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/DC-text.png\" style=\"height:20px; width:31px\" title=\"\" \/>&nbsp;Skipper: &quot;<\/strong><\/span><span style=\"color:#2980b9\"><strong>The decision to bowl first was mainly based on the expectation of dew, which didn&#39;t materialize.

I expect the pitch to hold a bit more due to its Wankhede-like appearance. Being inland, there may not be as much spin since the soil doesn&#39;t compact tightly. However, I anticipate it to play well overall. The new ball will be crucial, and finding wickets in the powerplay will be key on this surface.

KL Rahul&#39;s astute decision to bowl first proved to be advantageous. CSK, with the help of a valiant 57* from Ravindra Jadeja and contributions from Ajinkya Rahane (36) and MS Dhoni (28* off 9), could manage a fighting total of 176\/6. Krunal Pandya and Marcus Stoinis were the bowling stars for LSG, keeping the CSK batsmen in check.&nbsp;In response,&nbsp;Openers KL Rahul (82 off 53) and Quinton de Kock (54 off 43) stitched together a magnificent 134-run partnership to lay the foundation for victory. Even after de Kock&#39;s dismissal, Rahul continued his aggressive knock, but a sensational one-handed catch by Jadeja brought his innings to an end. Nicholas Pooran and Marcus Stoinis ensured a comfortable finish, securing the win for LSG with 1 over to spare.&nbsp;CSK&#39;s bowlers struggled to contain the LSG batsmen. Matheesha Pathirana (1\/29 in 4 overs) offered some resistance.&nbsp;This win propels LSG to 8 points on the table, joining the likes of KKR, CSK, and SRH. Both CSK and LSG find themselves in the top five, with the reverse fixture scheduled for Tuesday in Chennai.

With the impact sub rule, you need extra runs. Pitches like these start off sluggish but improve with dew. 190 would have been a good score. One area we need to improve is taking wickets in the power play to put pressure on the opposition. It&#39;s good to play them again in the next game at Chepauk.

The bowlers executed really well, and the team is sticking to the plans. At the halfway stage, I would have been happy with 160, considering the slow wicket and grip. MSD walking in put pressure on the bowlers, as he has had that intimidation factor on opposition bowlers. Our young bowlers were under pressure with the crowd going berserk as well, giving the opposition 15-20 extra runs. I&#39;ve been trying to assess the situation, and it came off today. I knew the CSK spinners would put pressure on, so I picked my bowlers accordingly. Quinton batted well too, making life easy for both of us. Playing in Chennai is a different ball game, especially in front of a mini Chennai crowd.

Another tricky aspect is the shorter boundaries behind the wicket, just 58 and 56 meters, which will have players strategizing. The pitch also has a bit of green, which I like.&quot;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Anjum Chopra added her perspective on the implications for the bowlers, &quot;Given the pocket-sized boundaries, it&#39;s seemingly tough for the bowlers. However, this ground has been quite favourable for them. Yes, spinners have performed well, but it&rsquo;s the seamers who really made a mark in the last game by hitting hard lengths and troubling the batters. The seamers have excelled, which isn&#39;t great news for the batters.&quot;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Danny also noted, &quot;The average first innings score here is 168.&quot;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Anjum concluded, &quot;While that&#39;s a decent score, teams might want a bit more on the board given the conditions.

However, a solid partnership between Rohit and SKY steadied the ship. SKY then continued the momentum alongside Tilak Varma, adding another 49 runs. Late cameos from David and Pandya pushed the total to a respectable 193. Harshal Patel and Sam Curran kept things tight for Punjab with three and two wickets respectively, but the score proved challenging nonetheless.&nbsp;Punjab&#39;s chase began disastrously. They were in tatters at 14-4 after just 2.1 overs. Hope seemed lost as wickets continued to tumble, leaving them at a precarious 77-6 by the 10th over.&nbsp;Enter Ashutosh, the unlikely hero! In a stunning display of power hitting, he blazed a trail of destruction with a blistering 28-ball 61. Helicopter pulls, audacious sixes off Bumrah and Madhwal - Ashutosh, alongside Shashank, brought Punjab back into the contest. With MI gasping for air, victory seemed within reach for the Kings.&nbsp;But alas, it wasn&#39;t meant to be. Just when Punjab sniffed victory, Ashutosh holed out in the deep, leaving them 25 runs short of the target. The lower order couldn&#39;t manage the chase, and Mumbai&#39;s bowlers, led by the ever-reliable Bumrah, ensured their side crossed the finish line. Bumrah, with his miserly spells and crucial wickets, once again proved his worth as Mumbai&#39;s death-overs ace.&nbsp;Ashutosh&#39;s heroics and Shashank&#39;s gritty knock threatened to rewrite the script, but Bumrah remained unfazed. He also topped the purple cap list again&nbsp;<img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/purple-cap.png\" style=\"height:24px; width:24px\" title=\"\" \/>. However, it was a fiery spell from the young Coetzee that ultimately swung the momentum back in Mumbai&#39;s favour. This match will be remembered for Ashutosh&#39;s valiant knock and another heart-breaking last-over defeat for Punjab Kings, their fourth in IPL 2024.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/commentaryFiles\/Untitled_1713468344.jpg\" style=\"width:640px\" \/><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#c0392b\"><strong>Sam Curran,&nbsp;<img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/PK-text.png\" style=\"height:20px; width:54px\" title=\"\" \/>&nbsp;captain: &quot;It was a close one indeed. This team seems to thrive on close matches. Credit to Ashutosh for getting us so close; his effort was exceptional. Losing close games is always tough, especially when you&#39;ve been losing early wickets consistently throughout the tournament. It&#39;s heartbreaking for the guys to come so close and still end up on the losing side. Ashutosh and Shashank showed incredible confidence in their game; Ashutosh&#39;s ability to sweep fast bowlers is impressive. Hopefully, we can turn these close encounters into wins and build some momentum. It&#39;s been a roller-coaster ride, winning one game and then losing the next. I&#39;d rather lose close matches than get completely outplayed.&quot;<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#2980b9\"><strong>Hardik Pandya,&nbsp;<img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/MI-text.png\" style=\"height:18px; width:29px\" title=\"\" \/>&nbsp;captain: &quot;It was indeed a very good game of cricket. Everyone&#39;s nerves were put to the test. We discussed before the game that our character would be tested, and that&#39;s exactly what happened. Even though you feel you&#39;re ahead in the game, the IPL has a way of producing these close encounters. Ashutosh&#39;s knock was unbelievable - he was hitting almost every ball in the middle. I&#39;m happy for him and excited for his future. During the timeout, we emphasized that it doesn&#39;t matter how good we look; we need to keep scrapping in this game. There were moments where we were a bit soft, but in the end, a win is a win.&quot;&nbsp;<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<span style=\"color:#2980b9\"><strong>Jasprit Bumrah <img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/purple-cap.png\" style=\"height:24px; width:24px\" title=\"\" \/>, Player of the Match: &quot;It was a closer game than we anticipated. Naturally, as a bowler, you want to make an impact when conditions favour the ball. In this format, the ball swings for only a couple of overs, unlike Test cricket where I can bowl more and have a greater influence. T20 cricket presents challenges for bowlers due to time constraints and rules favouring impact players. The batting lineups also tend to become deeper, which is beyond our control. I try to relay messages to the bowlers when possible, but I also avoid overloading them with information during the heat of the moment.&quot;<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","MatchRow":33,"ProjectedScore":"191","2ndProjectedScore":"0","3rdProjectedScore":"0","MOM":"Jasprit Bumrah","MOM_TYPE":"Bowling","MOMPlayerId":"9","MOMRuns":"-","MOMBalls":"-","MOMWicket":"3","MOMRC":"21","MOMImage":"https:\/\/scores.iplt20.com\/ipl\/playerimages\/7ID0MgCukM17112091009.png","KO":""},{"CompetitionID":148,"MatchID":1413,"MatchTypeID":8,"MatchType":"T20 (N)","MatchStatus":"Post","MatchDate":"2024-04-17","MatchDateNew":"17 Apr 2024","MatchName":"Gujarat Titans vs Delhi Capitals","MatchTime":"19:30","GMTMatchTime":"14:00 GMT","GMTMatchDate":"2024-04-17","FirstBattingTeamID":35,"FirstBattingTeamName":"Gujarat Titans","SecondBattingTeamID":14,"SecondBattingTeamName":"Delhi Capitals","FirstBattingTeamCode":"GT","SecondBattingTeamCode":"DC","GroundID":55,"GroundName":"Narendra Modi Stadium","Commentss":"Delhi Capitals Won by 6   Wickets ","TossTeam":"Delhi Capitals","TossDetails":"Delhi Capitals Won The Toss And Elected To Field","TossText":" Won The Toss And Elected To Field","Flag":0,"FirstBattingSummary":"89\/10 (17.3 Ov)","SecondBattingSummary":"92\/4 (8.5 Ov)","ClientMatchID":"","MATCH_COMMENCE_START_DATE":"2024-04-17 19:30:00","city":"Ahmedabad","FlickrAlbumID":"","LiveStream":"","FBURL":"https:\/\/insider.in\/tata-ipl-2024-match-32-gujarat-titans-vs-delhi-capitals-apr-17\/event?utm_source=IPL&utm_medium=website","T20ProMatchID":"","Temperature":"","WeatherIcon":"","TempUpdatedDate":"","GroundUmpire1ID":87,"GroundUmpire2ID":95,"GroundUmpire3ID":221,"RefereeID":87,"HomeTeamID":"35","HomeTeamName":"Gujarat Titans","HomeTeamColor1":"#319490","HomeTeamColor2":"#df7317","AwayTeamColor1":"#319490","AwayTeamColor2":"#df7317","AwayTeamID":"14","AwayTeamName":"Delhi Capitals","timezone1":"Asia\/Kolkata","MatchEndDate":"17 Apr 2024","MatchEndTime":"23:30","MATCH_NO_OF_OVERS":"20","ROUND_ID":"26","MatchTypeName":"T20","RowNo":32,"TeamType":null,"CompetitionName":"Tata Ipl 2024","GroundUmpire1":"Virender Kumar Sharma","GroundUmpire2":"Nikhil Patwardhan","ThirdUmpire":"Madanagopal Jayaraman","Comments":"Delhi Capitals Won By 6   Wickets ","HomeTeamLogo":"https:\/\/scores.iplt20.com\/ipl\/teamlogos\/GT.png?v=1","AwayTeamLogo":"https:\/\/scores.iplt20.com\/ipl\/teamlogos\/DC.png","MatchHomeTeamLogo":"https:\/\/scores.iplt20.com\/ipl\/teamlogos\/GT.png?v=1","MatchAwayTeamLogo":"https:\/\/scores.iplt20.com\/ipl\/teamlogos\/DC.png","VideoScorecard":0,"TimeZone":"+9.5","CurrentStrikerID":"2022-100mb00000000975-56f6385ba44611","CurrentStrikerName":"Noor Ahmad","StrikerRuns":1,"StrikerBalls":7,"StrikerFours":0,"StrikerSixes":0,"StrikerSR":14.28,"StrikerImage":"https:\/\/scores.iplt20.com\/ipl\/playerimages\/LG0Noz0HPU1711263543975.png","CurrentNonStrikerID":"2023-100mb00000002518-9a5f0c5357b311","CurrentNonStrikerName":"Spencer Johnson","NonStrikerRuns":1,"NonStrikerBalls":1,"NonStrikerFours":0,"NonStrikerSixes":0,"NonStrikerSR":100,"NonStrikerImage":"https:\/\/scores.iplt20.com\/ipl\/playerimages\/81YMDUAVI517112629762518.png","CurrentBowlerID":"2022-100mb00000001462-cbc59298427c11","CurrentBowlerName":"Mukesh Kumar","BowlerOvers":"2.3","BowlerRuns":14,"BowlerMaidens":0,"BowlerWickets":3,"BowlerEconomy":5.6,"BowlerSR":5,"BowlerImage":"https:\/\/scores.iplt20.com\/ipl\/playerimages\/mtYoBn1aVp17111708761462.png","ChasingText":"","MatchBreakComments":"","MatchProgress":"","CurrentInnings":"2","1Summary":"89\/10 (17.3 Overs)","1FallScore":"89","1FallWickets":"10","1FallOvers":"17.3","1RunRate":"5.09","2Summary":"92\/4 (8.5 Overs)","2FallScore":"92","2FallWickets":"4","2FallOvers":"8.5","2RunRate":"10.42","3Summary":"","3FallScore":"","3FallWickets":"","3FallOvers":"","3RunRate":"","4Summary":"","4FallScore":"","4FallWickets":"","4FallOvers":"","4RunRate":"","5Summary":"","5FallScore":"","5FallWickets":"","5FallOvers":"","5RunRate":"","6Summary":"","6FallScore":"","6FallWickets":"","6FallOvers":"","6RunRate":"","DivisionID":"6","SecondInningsFirstBattingID":null,"SecondInningsFirstBattingName":"","SecondInningsSecondBattingID":null,"SecondInningsSecondBattingName":"","ThirdInningsFirstBattingID":null,"ThirdInningsFirstBattingName":"","ThirdInningsSecondBattingID":null,"ThirdInningsSecondBattingName":"","WinningTeamID":"14","MatchOrder":"Match 32","RevisedOver":"","RevisedTarget":"","PreMatchCommentary":"<p><strong>Gujarat Titans are set to host Delhi Capitals in match number 32 of the TATA IPL 2024 at the iconic Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on April 17th.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Gujarat Titans enter the contest buoyed by a historic chase in their previous game, propelled by Shubman Gill&#39;s robust batting and a thrilling finish by Rashid Khan and Rahul Tewatia.

The square boundaries measure 61m and 72m, while the straight hit extends to 75m. It&#39;s a scorching 41 degrees today, and with such high temperatures, dew might become a significant factor as the game progresses.

Bowling, fielding, and captaincy - everything clicked for Delhi today. Rishabh Pant&#39;s decision to bowl first, though initially hesitant, proved to be a stroke of genius. The Delhi bowlers, led by the experienced Ishant Sharma, exploited the slow pitch conditions perfectly. Some deliveries kept low, creating problems for the GT batsmen. While the spinners found some grip, the majority of the GT dismissals were self-inflicted due to poor shot selection.&nbsp;This is Gujarat Titans&#39; lowest total in IPL history! Their previous lowest score of 125, coincidentally, also came against Delhi Capitals in Ahmedabad last year. Rashid Khan&#39;s valiant 31 was a lone bright spot in an otherwise disastrous batting display for GT.&nbsp;Mukesh Kumar emerged as the star bowler for Delhi, grabbing a well-deserved three wickets for a mere 14 runs. Fraser-McGurk, the young opener, threatened a quick chase but was dismissed by Spencer Johnson. Sandeep Warrier chipped in with a couple of wickets as well.&nbsp;Delhi, always keeping an eye on the Net Run Rate, ensured they wrapped up the innings quickly. They finished the chase in just 8.5 overs, giving their NRR a significant boost while simultaneously depleting Gujarat&#39;s.&nbsp;This comprehensive victory sees a massive shakeup in the points table! The Capitals climb from ninth to a much more comfortable sixth position, while the Titans slide down from sixth to seventh.

The pitch itself was alright; the dismissals were more about poor shot selection than anything else.

It&#39;s a clash of the table-toppers, promising a high-octane match. The field dimensions here vary significantly, with a 12-meter difference square of the wicket&mdash;59 meters to the right and 71 meters to the left, with the straight boundary at 75 meters. Bowlers will likely focus on defending the bigger side. Michael, we&#39;ve seen diverse outcomes here; what&#39;s your take on today&#39;s pitch?&quot;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Clarke: &quot;The conditions are similar to the previous game. We thought 190 was a standard score during the day. Tonight, dew will likely play a role, making teams prefer chasing. It&rsquo;s a fantastic surface, complemented by a very quick outfield and fairly even boundaries. It&rsquo;s an excellent pitch that favors batting at any point, especially with the new ball when the pitch is hardest.&quot;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Badree: &quot;Considering the impact of bowlers like Sunil Narine, who has been economical here, how should teams approach facing him?&quot;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Clarke: &quot;Narine stands out as a key bowler for KKR, challenging batters who struggle to read him. The key against him is to watch his hand closely. Batters must pick the ball from his hand, which is easier said than done but essential for success against his spin.&quot;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><strong><img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/commentaryFiles\/IPl Stats Temp 2024 - 2024-04-16T185433_1713274115.jpg\" style=\"width:640px\" \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<br \/>\nTOSS:&nbsp;<span style=\"color:#990066\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/RR-text.png\" style=\"height:20px; width:31px\" title=\"\" \/>&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color:#ff0099\"> WON THE TOSS AND ELECTED TO FIELD&nbsp;<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/commentaryFiles\/image - 2024-04-16T193455_1713276350.png\" style=\"width:640px\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"color:#ff0099\"><strong>Sanju Samson <img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/RR-text.png\" style=\"height:20px; width:31px\" title=\"\" \/>&nbsp;Skipper :&nbsp; &nbsp;&quot;We&#39;ve chosen to bowl first.

It was a night of spectacular performances and heart-stopping moments culminating in a last-ball thriller. The game kicked off with KKR&#39;s decision to bat first, a move that saw Sunil Narine stepping up in a big way. The Trinidadian exploded with a fiery century, scoring 109 runs that included a barrage of boundaries. His maiden IPL century left the Royals&#39; spinners, including veterans like Ashwin and Chahal, scrambling for answers.&nbsp;Rajasthan&#39;s chase began promisingly with Yashasvi Jaiswal giving the team a brisk start. However, the innings soon encountered turbulence as wickets fell at regular intervals. Sanju Samson and Riyan Parag tried to stabilize the inning with Buttler on one end, but their efforts were insufficient to keep the required rate in check. Just when all seemed lost, Jos Buttler took charge in a display of sheer determination and skill. Alongside Rovman Powell, who contributed with a quickfire cameo, Buttler steered the chase back on track. The duo&#39;s vital partnership breathed new life into RR&#39;s innings, setting the stage for a dramatic finale. The match reached its climax in the final over. Buttler, standing firm and undeterred, struck a crucial six early in the over before playing it smart with a calculated single in the last ball.&nbsp;<\/strong><br \/>\n<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/commentaryFiles\/image - 2024-04-17T000928_1713293437.png\" style=\"width:640px\" \/><\/p>\n\n<p><br \/>\n<strong><span style=\"color:#8e44ad\">Shreyas Iyer&nbsp;<img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/KKR-text.png\" style=\"height:18px; width:40px\" title=\"\" \/>&nbsp; Skipper: &ldquo;It&rsquo;s a tough pill to swallow.

With Buttler striking cleanly, we tried slowing it down by giving Varun the last over, hoping the lack of pace would help, but it&rsquo;s challenging with five inside the circle.

If they lose, expect drama. It&#39;s interesting, the boundary dimensions here&mdash;57 meters off-side, 64 meters leg side, and 69 meters straight&mdash;are so compact they hardly impact the game.&quot;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Aaron Finch: &quot;Looking at the pitch, there&rsquo;s a lot of green grass, albeit patchy. This means for fast bowlers, some balls will zip and others will skid with the new ball. More intriguing is the amount of spin we&#39;ve seen here this season, more than any other venue. The pitch, with its dry spin and cracking surface, will likely favor the spinners as the game progresses. While there&#39;s some dew, it&rsquo;s not as significant as Wankhede, favoring the team batting second.&quot;<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/commentaryFiles\/IPl Stats Temp 2024 - 2024-04-15T192515_1713189375.jpg\" style=\"width:640px\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<strong>TOSS: <span style=\"color:#000066\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/RCB-text.png\" style=\"height:18px; width:40px\" title=\"\" \/>WON THE TOSS AND ELECTED TO FIELD&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"color:#000066\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/commentaryFiles\/image - 2024-04-15T193521_1713189977.png\" style=\"width:640px\" \/><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#000066\"><strong>Faf du Plessis| <img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/RCB-text.png\" style=\"height:18px; width:40px\" title=\"\" \/>&nbsp;Skipper: &quot;We&#39;re set for a chase tonight, which has been typical this season.

Despite their valiant effort, RCB fell short by 25 runs while chasing down a mammoth 288 set by SRH.A brutal opening assault laid the foundation for Hyderabad&#39;s victory. Travis Head, in particular, was unstoppable, reaching his century in a mere 39 balls - the fourth-fastest in IPL history. The carnage continued as Heinrich Klaasen blitzed his way to a 23-ball fifty. Later cameos from Aiden Markram and the big-hitting Abdul Samad ensured SRH crossed the 280-run mark with ease, posting a record-breaking total of 287.RCB&#39;s chase started brightly with Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli taking the attack to the bowlers. However, Kohli&#39;s dismissal triggered a collapse, and wickets quickly fell. Mayank Markande, the impactful substitute, and Pat Cummins stifled the chase with crucial wickets despite the pitch offering minimal assistance. Dinesh Karthik, though, provided a lone fightback with a scintillating 83 off just 35 balls, but his knock lacked support from the other end.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>This match will be forever remembered for the sheer volume of runs scored. With a staggering 549 runs amassed, it rewrote the record books for the highest-scoring T20 match ever witnessed.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><strong><img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/commentaryFiles\/image - 2024-04-15T234117_1713204701.png\" style=\"width:640px\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#d35400\"><strong>Travis Head (Man of the Match): &quot;After my innings, I took a shower and enjoyed some good food. The pitch played beautifully today. We received some insights from the groundsmen and knew we needed to adapt during the initial six overs. Our batting order was set up nicely, giving everyone the freedom to aggressively target the bowlers. Abhishek Sharma and I have a great partnership; we really complement each other and boost each other&rsquo;s confidence. I&rsquo;m really enjoying batting alongside him. As for how to bowl to me, I&#39;m not sure there&rsquo;s a straightforward strategy. Bowlers have tried various approaches, but nothing specific has stood out. While my technique might not be the prettiest, I&rsquo;m really pleased with how I struck the ball today.&quot;<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#d35400\"><strong>Pat Cummins(SRH Skipper):&quot;I sometimes wish I was a batter, especially after a game like today. We had a similar experience against Mumbai, and I thought it wouldn&#39;t happen again, but here we are. You do your best as a bowler. Even an over where you concede just seven or eight runs can really impact the match significantly. Honestly, I&#39;ve stopped trying to predict how pitches will play here at Chinnaswamy. Despite appearances, they often turn out to be fantastic for batting. We&#39;ve secured four wins so far. It&#39;s really the freedom with which our players are performing that&#39;s been the highlight. It&rsquo;s great to see them continue to play with such liberty, and I&rsquo;m really pleased with how everyone is performing.&quot;<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#000066\"><strong>Faf du Plessis(RCB Skipper): &quot;Yeah, it was definitely a quintessential T20 pitch. The amount of runs scored today was extraordinary, possibly a world record. So credit to us for staying in the fight and trying to keep up, although 270 isn&#39;t too far off. Behind the scenes, we&#39;ve been experimenting with different strategies to find what works best, but it&#39;s been tough. Cricket can be a merciless game. When you&#39;re struggling with confidence, there&#39;s really nowhere to hide on the field. We&#39;ve been tweaking our approach, like incorporating leg spin in the middle overs. In terms of batting, we&#39;ve pinpointed areas where we need to push harder, especially after the powerplay considering the high scores. Despite the resilience the team has shown, giving up 30-40 extra runs in our bowling was pivotal. After a game like this, it&#39;s crucial to take a break and clear our heads. The mental strain of such defeats is significant, and right now, it feels like we&#39;re facing an uphill battle.&quot;<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","MatchRow":30,"ProjectedScore":"262","2ndProjectedScore":"0","3rdProjectedScore":"0","MOM":"Travis Head","MOM_TYPE":"Batting","MOMPlayerId":"37","MOMRuns":"102","MOMBalls":"41","MOMWicket":"-","MOMRC":"-","MOMImage":"https:\/\/scores.iplt20.com\/ipl\/playerimages\/UcE1cNJKGb171117273637.png","KO":""},{"CompetitionID":148,"MatchID":1411,"MatchTypeID":8,"MatchType":"T20 (N)","MatchStatus":"Post","MatchDate":"2024-04-14","MatchDateNew":"14 Apr 2024","MatchName":"Mumbai Indians vs Chennai Super Kings","MatchTime":"19:30","GMTMatchTime":"14:00 GMT","GMTMatchDate":"2024-04-14","FirstBattingTeamID":13,"FirstBattingTeamName":"Chennai Super Kings","SecondBattingTeamID":17,"SecondBattingTeamName":"Mumbai Indians","FirstBattingTeamCode":"CSK","SecondBattingTeamCode":"MI","GroundID":21,"GroundName":"Wankhede Stadium","Commentss":"Chennai Super Kings Won by 20  Runs ","TossTeam":"Mumbai Indians","TossDetails":"Mumbai Indians Won The Toss And Elected To Field","TossText":" Won The Toss And Elected To Field","Flag":1,"FirstBattingSummary":"206\/4 (20.0 Ov)","SecondBattingSummary":"186\/6 (20.0 Ov)","ClientMatchID":"","MATCH_COMMENCE_START_DATE":"2024-04-14 19:30:00","city":"Mumbai","FlickrAlbumID":"","LiveStream":"","FBURL":"https:\/\/in.bookmyshow.com\/sports\/mumbai-indians-vs-chennai-super-kings\/ET00392852","T20ProMatchID":"","Temperature":"","WeatherIcon":"","TempUpdatedDate":"","GroundUmpire1ID":42,"GroundUmpire2ID":525,"GroundUmpire3ID":87,"RefereeID":86,"HomeTeamID":"17","HomeTeamName":"Mumbai Indians","HomeTeamColor1":"#319490","HomeTeamColor2":"#df7317","AwayTeamColor1":"#319490","AwayTeamColor2":"#df7317","AwayTeamID":"13","AwayTeamName":"Chennai Super Kings","timezone1":"Asia\/Kolkata","MatchEndDate":"14 Apr 2024","MatchEndTime":"23:30","MATCH_NO_OF_OVERS":"20","ROUND_ID":"26","MatchTypeName":"T20","RowNo":29,"TeamType":null,"CompetitionName":"Tata Ipl 2024","GroundUmpire1":"Nitin Menon","GroundUmpire2":"Khalid Saiyed","ThirdUmpire":"Virender Kumar Sharma","Comments":"Chennai Super Kings Won By 20  Runs ","HomeTeamLogo":"https:\/\/scores.iplt20.com\/ipl\/teamlogos\/CSK.png","AwayTeamLogo":"https:\/\/scores.iplt20.com\/ipl\/teamlogos\/MI.png","MatchHomeTeamLogo":"https:\/\/scores.iplt20.com\/ipl\/teamlogos\/MI.png","MatchAwayTeamLogo":"https:\/\/scores.iplt20.com\/ipl\/teamlogos\/CSK.png","VideoScorecard":0,"TimeZone":"+9.5","CurrentStrikerID":"2018-100mb00000000006-2cf4bba8e99b11","CurrentStrikerName":"Rohit Sharma","StrikerRuns":105,"StrikerBalls":63,"StrikerFours":11,"StrikerSixes":5,"StrikerSR":166.66,"StrikerImage":"https:\/\/scores.iplt20.com\/ipl\/playerimages\/PkGocfnXm717112088856.png","CurrentNonStrikerID":"2019-100mb00000000217-29d6c58644bf11","CurrentNonStrikerName":"Mohammad Nabi","NonStrikerRuns":4,"NonStrikerBalls":7,"NonStrikerFours":0,"NonStrikerSixes":0,"NonStrikerSR":57.14,"NonStrikerImage":"https:\/\/scores.iplt20.com\/ipl\/playerimages\/UfEtDAomXm1711208571217.png","CurrentBowlerID":"2022-100mb00000001014-1f0cfb3dc17911","CurrentBowlerName":"Matheesha Pathirana","BowlerOvers":"4.0","BowlerRuns":28,"BowlerMaidens":0,"BowlerWickets":4,"BowlerEconomy":7,"BowlerSR":6,"BowlerImage":"https:\/\/scores.iplt20.com\/ipl\/playerimages\/KJCZZ2GM6p17114657091014.png","ChasingText":"","MatchBreakComments":"","MatchProgress":"","CurrentInnings":"2","1Summary":"206\/4 (20.0 Overs)","1FallScore":"206","1FallWickets":"4","1FallOvers":"20.0","1RunRate":"10.3","2Summary":"186\/6 (20.0 Overs)","2FallScore":"186","2FallWickets":"6","2FallOvers":"20.0","2RunRate":"9.3","3Summary":"","3FallScore":"","3FallWickets":"","3FallOvers":"","3RunRate":"","4Summary":"","4FallScore":"","4FallWickets":"","4FallOvers":"","4RunRate":"","5Summary":"","5FallScore":"","5FallWickets":"","5FallOvers":"","5RunRate":"","6Summary":"","6FallScore":"","6FallWickets":"","6FallOvers":"","6RunRate":"","DivisionID":"6","SecondInningsFirstBattingID":null,"SecondInningsFirstBattingName":"","SecondInningsSecondBattingID":null,"SecondInningsSecondBattingName":"","ThirdInningsFirstBattingID":null,"ThirdInningsFirstBattingName":"","ThirdInningsSecondBattingID":null,"ThirdInningsSecondBattingName":"","WinningTeamID":"13","MatchOrder":"Match 29","RevisedOver":"","RevisedTarget":"","PreMatchCommentary":"<p>The upcoming clash between <img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/MI-text.png\" style=\"height:18px; width:29px\" title=\"\" \/> and <img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/CSK-text.png\" style=\"height:20px; width:43px\" title=\"\" \/> at the Wankhede Stadium in the 2024 IPL is set to be a thrilling encounter.

The team has showcased potential in flashes but has struggled to maintain consistency, especially in crunch situations.

With the likes of Andre Russell and Venkatesh Iyer adding firepower to their lineup, KKR looks well-equipped to extend their winning momentum.<\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Key Battles to Watch out :&nbsp;<img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/double-bat.png\" style=\"height:23px; width:23px\" title=\"\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>The clash between CSK&#39;s batting prowess and KKR&#39;s spin wizards will be a spectacle, with both teams looking to leverage Chennai&#39;s pitch conditions. <span style=\"color:#f39c12\"><strong>Shivam Dube&#39;<\/strong><\/span>s aggressive batting will be crucial for CSK to counter the spin threat posed by <span style=\"color:#8e44ad\"><strong>Narine and Chakravarthy<\/strong><\/span>.

Their victory over <img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/KKR-text.png\" style=\"height:18px; width:40px\" title=\"\" \/>&nbsp; wasn&#39;t just about superior skills but a demonstration of acute tactical awareness and execution that outclassed their opponents in every department. The turning point of the match undoubtedly came in the 7th over when Ravindra Jadeja, CSK&#39;s spin wizard, was introduced into the attack. With KKR off to a stable start and looking to build momentum, Jadeja&#39;s over was nothing short of a masterstroke. Claiming two crucial wickets in a single over, he not only broke the backbone of KKR&#39;s batting lineup but also significantly shifted the momentum in favour of CSK. His ability to bowl with precision and exploit the pitch conditions underscored the strategic planning behind his introduction at that juncture of the game. Following Jadeja&#39;s lead, the rest of the CSK bowling unit tightened the screws on KKR. The bowlers, backed by astute field placements, gave nothing away, showcasing discipline and control. The pressure created led to KKR&#39;s middle order crumbling, unable to find the boundary with regularity, and consequently being restricted to a below-par total of 137. <strong>CSK&#39;s Chase: A Mix of Caution and Aggression.&nbsp;<\/strong>In pursuit of a modest target, CSK approached the chase with a blend of aggression and tactical acumen. Ruturaj Gaikwad, leading from the front, notched up a vital half-century, his first as the captain of CSK, playing a captain&#39;s knock when it mattered the most. His innings were a mix of caution and calculated aggression, setting the tone for the chase. Shivam Dube&#39;s cameo further accelerated the pace, ensuring that the required run rate was always within control. Dube&#39;s ability to strike lusty blows, coupled with Gaikwad&#39;s anchoring role, exemplified CSK&#39;s batting depth and their ability to pace the innings according to the match situation.<\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"color:#8e44ad\">Shreyas Iyer, <img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/KKR-text.png\" style=\"height:18px; width:40px\" title=\"\" \/>Skipper:<\/span> <span style=\"color:#8e44ad\">&quot; &nbsp;It&#39;s deafening out here, but I&#39;ll try to express. We got a great start in the powerplay, but we lost consecutive wickets which tilted the momentum. We weren&#39;t able to assess the conditions quickly after the powerplay and thus scoring runs wasn&#39;t easy. They very well know the conditions and did pretty well to assess the same, they bowled according to their plans. It Wasn&#39;t easy for the new batters to go after the bowlers from the first ball. We were trying to construct the innings, but it didn&#39;t fall in place according to the plan and we fell short.

As for the ball I got out to, I was actually trying to play it a bit square, but I missed it.He&#39;s (Umesh Yadav) someone who&#39;s very experienced, and even Darshan, the way our bowlers bowled in this game, as I&#39;ve already mentioned, was tremendous to watch. They got off to a decent start, and to restrict them to around 160-165 runs was what we were hoping for.&quot;<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"color:#2980b9\">KL Rahul&nbsp;<img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/LSG-text.png\" style=\"height:18px; width:40px\" title=\"\" \/>&nbsp;Skipper<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"color:#2980b9\">&quot;We&#39;ll take the win, I am not going to make too much out of it. I think for the young bowling group that we have, it helps when we bat first and they get a bit of an idea of how the wicket&#39;s playing and they&#39;ve also been adapting really well. [On 100% record of defending 160+ total] Yeah, it&#39;s a good record to have, obviously. But I also think it&#39;s because of where we&#39;ve played and the conditions. Last time we played here in Lucknow, the wickets were very low-scoring, and it&#39;s a low-scoring ground. So, we defended quite well there. Having that home advantage obviously helps a little bit. And yes, I mean, the bowlers have come through the ranks in the last couple of years. You&#39;ve seen the same guys playing last season as well, and they&#39;ve adjusted to their roles. They&#39;re reading the wickets really well. That&#39;s something that I try to discuss with them a lot more off the field and even during practice.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#2980b9\"><strong>Player of The Match: Yash Thakur<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#2980b9\"><strong>I am happy for the first 5-wicket haul and first player of the match award.

Starting with the outfield, it&#39;s in pristine condition, allowing for ground shots instead of just lofted hits. The square boundaries measure 63 and 62 meters, while the straight boundary stretches to 74 meters, the longest here. Turning our attention to the pitch, I&#39;ve got Simon Katich with me. Simon, what&#39;s your take on the pitch?&quot;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Katich: &quot;We&#39;re looking at pitch number seven today, and it&#39;s as hard as concrete. It&#39;s the same strip from the recent game against Rajasthan Royals, where Trent Boult showcased his swing bowling prowess. However, with today&#39;s hotter conditions, I&#39;m anticipating a high-scoring game. The pitch has a covering of grass, but it&#39;s really set up for the batsmen. Last year, we saw four centuries scored here, and many of Mumbai&#39;s batsmen relish playing at the Wankhede. Statistically, spinners have been more economical than pacers here and have a better average. But given the small dimensions of the ground, bowling spin comes with its own set of risks due to the likelihood of the ball sailing over the boundary.&quot;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Mbangwa: &quot;The decision at the toss is a tricky one, as historical data suggests chasing teams often have the upper hand.

Key performances from Romario Shepherd, Rohit Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Jasprit Bumrah, and Gerald Coetzee were instrumental in MI&#39;s win.

Prithvi Shaw&#39;s quick fifty provided some momentum, but Jasprit Bumrah&#39;s exceptional yorker cut his innings short. Tristan Stubbs offered a glimmer of hope with a rapid half-century, but the absence of a powerful hitter alongside him left DC struggling.

But all eyes are on the silent giants &ndash; Buttler and Jaiswal. A big knock from either could send shivers down RCB&#39;s spine.RCB, on the other hand, are desperate to turn things around. With a solitary win in four, their campaign is riddled with inconsistency, especially from their star-studded batting line-up.&nbsp;<br \/>\n<br \/>\nThis clash promises a fascinating battle between contrasting bowling attacks. However, RR&#39;s&nbsp; bowling mastery, currently the best in the IPL, could be RCB&#39;s lower order&#39;s undoing. The explosive Shimron Hetmyer, often used as a late-innings finisher by RR, could be the game-changer.

Previously, this pitch has seen scores around 180.

It&#39;s well-maintained, promising high-scoring affairs. Fast bowlers can look forward to some extra bounce with the new ball, yet it&#39;s not all challenging for the spinners. This surface, in particular, offers more turn, around 2.2 degrees, more than the usual 1.8 degrees on other pitches at this venue.&quot;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Dasgupta: &quot;WV points this out because upon close inspection, the grass is quite patchy. There are spots completely devoid of grass, and then there are grassy patches.&quot;<br \/>\nRaman: &quot;Indeed, and despite the dry patches, the spinners can be heartened by the bigger boundaries compared to other venues, giving them a unique advantage.&quot;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong><img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/commentaryFiles\/IPl Stats Temp 2024 (56)_1712411869.jpg\" style=\"width:640px\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>PLAYER BATTLES TO LOOK OUT FOR&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"color:#000066\">Virat Kohli <\/span>vs <span style=\"color:#990033\">Sandeep Sharma<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"color:#990033\">Jos Buttler<\/span> vs <span style=\"color:#000066\">Mohammed Siraj<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"color:#000066\">Glenn Maxwell<\/span> vs <span style=\"color:#990033\">Yuzvendra Chahal&nbsp;<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"color:#990033\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/commentaryFiles\/image (95)_1712412321.png\" style=\"width:640px\" \/><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>TOSS UPDATE:&nbsp; <img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/RR-text.png\" style=\"height:20px; width:31px\" title=\"\" \/>&nbsp;<span style=\"color:#990033\">WON THE TOSS AND ELECTED TO FIELD&nbsp;<img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/cricket-ball.png\" style=\"height:23px; width:23px\" title=\"\" \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"color:#990033\">Sanju Samson |&nbsp;<img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/RR-text.png\" style=\"height:20px; width:31px\" title=\"\" \/>&nbsp;Skipper : &quot;We&#39;ve decided to bowl first on this pitch.

Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis unleashed a storm against RR, crafting a dazzling century partnership for the opening wicket until Chahal struck, providing the much-needed breakthrough for RR. Following this, RR tightened their bowling, ramping up the pressure on RCB.

Despite our efforts, hitting was difficult, with many shots not connecting as intended.<\/span><\/strong><strong><span style=\"color:#000066\">Virat was in fine form, and with partners like Green or DK, we aimed to capitalize in the final overs, given our wicket reserve.

Narine&#39;s explosive cameo and Venkatesh Iyer&#39;s classy half-ton in their previous match? Pure gold!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Now, as these Titans gear up for a clash that&#39;s got everyone on the edge of their seats, it&#39;s not just about the runs or the wickets; it&#39;s about making a statement. With DC&#39;s balanced attack squaring off against KKR&#39;s dynamite lineup, we&#39;re in for a cricketing spectacle loaded with nail-biting moments and heart-thumping action.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>So, strap in, folks. Whether you&#39;re Team Delhi, rooting for that strategic masterclass, or Team Kolkata, all about that unbeatable streak, one thing&#39;s for sure &ndash; this clash is going to light up the night sky.

The weather is pleasantly cool, making for a comfortable environment. This ground isn&#39;t the largest, which is evident from the boundary dimensions &ndash; 60 meters square on both sides. For a right-hander, behind me, the distance is even shorter at 53 meters, making it quite easy to notch up a few quick runs to that boundary. The deep third man stands at 59 meters. Given that KKR, known for their high six-hitting capabilities, is in town, we&#39;re in for a thrilling match.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Examining the pitch, it&#39;s extremely well-maintained and incredibly firm. The lack of live grass suggests that spinners might find it challenging to extract much deviation or manipulate the pace and line effectively.This element will definitely add an exciting dimension to tonight&#39;s game.The pitch appears to offer a balanced surface throughout. I&#39;m hopeful it will remain consistent, allowing the batsmen to execute a full range of shots.

The bowlers really stepped up during the Powerplay, and we came together well as a team. Our batting needs to pick up a bit too.

It&#39;s fantastic to see our bowlers stepping up when needed and making the most of their moments. Regarding the injury concern on the field, I can empathize; I&#39;ve been there.

With two losses in defensive stands and only one victory in a chase, the team faces the familiar scrutiny over its bowling capabilities. Ahead of their clash against the Lucknow Super Giants&mdash;a side that previously snatched a dramatic victory from their grasp&mdash;the challenge of overcoming the venue&#39;s inherent disadvantages looms large.Nicholas Pooran, pivotal in LSG&#39;s last-season win against RCB, steps up again amid speculation around KL Rahul&#39;s role due to fitness concerns. Boosted by a recent win against Punjab Kings and the spotlight on Mayank Yadav&#39;s pace prowess, LSG&#39;s confidence is high.RCB, on the other hand, pins hopes on its batting powerhouses like Faf du Plessis, Glenn Maxwell, and Rajat Patidar to make their mark. Amidst this, the bowling lineup seeks to reinforce its support for Virat Kohli, who is playing his 100th game in BengaluruLSG, similar to RCB in navigating early-season jitters, eyes continuity in victory. Both teams, poised at a crucial juncture, aim to shed their early inconsistencies. This confrontation at M.Chinnaswamy Stadium is not just a test of strategy and skill but also a momentous occasion marking Kohli&#39;s centenary of appearances, promising a duel rich in narratives and the potential for an epic showdown in IPL 2024&#39;s unfolding saga.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>\n<br \/>\nPitch Report | Murali Kartik and Graeme Swann : <\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>&quot;Pitch number 7, previously seen in the game against Punjab Kings where 175 was scored, now shows an average first innings score of 196 in recent years. Immediately noticeable is its dryness, suggesting significant spin potential, particularly for Glenn Maxwell. In the recent clash between RCB and PBKS, spinners from both disciplines found turn on this surface. This year, it&#39;s emerged as the IPL&#39;s top spinner-friendly venue. Maxwell, and other spinners, will likely target the dry, crack-laden areas outside the right-handers&#39; off-stump, resembling a riverbed with interspersed grass patches. This could introduce variable bounce and turn, making it an intriguing pitch for spin bowling.&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><strong><img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/commentaryFiles\/IPl Stats Temp 2024 (6)_1712066841.png\" style=\"width:640px\" \/><br \/>\n<br \/>\nHead-to-Head at Bengaluru<\/strong> &ndash;<strong> The single encounter between <span style=\"color:#c0392b\">RCB <\/span>and <span style=\"color:#000066\">LSG <\/span>at this venue saw the latter emerging victorious, setting the stage for a revenge saga this season.&nbsp;<img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/double-bat.png\" style=\"height:23px; width:23px\" title=\"\" \/>&nbsp;<\/strong><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/RCB-text-logo.png\" style=\"height:38px; width:68px\" title=\"\" \/><strong>&nbsp;AND<\/strong>&nbsp;<img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/LSG-text-logo.png\" style=\"height:21px; width:80px\" title=\"\" \/>&nbsp;<strong> FORM IN IPL 2024<\/strong><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/RCB-text.png\" style=\"height:18px; width:40px\" title=\"\" \/>&nbsp; <strong><span style=\"color:#e74c3c\">L<\/span>&nbsp;<span style=\"color:#2ecc71\"> W&nbsp;<\/span><\/strong> <span style=\"color:#e74c3c\"><strong>L<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/LSG.png\" style=\"height:40px; width:40px\" title=\"\" \/>&nbsp;<span style=\"color:#e74c3c\"><strong>L&nbsp;<\/strong><\/span> <span style=\"color:#2ecc71\"><strong>W&nbsp;<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>&nbsp;<img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/commentaryFiles\/image (50)_1712066746.png\" style=\"width:640px\" \/><\/strong><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<strong>TOSS : <img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/RCB-text.png\" style=\"height:18px; width:40px\" title=\"\" \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style=\"color:#c0392b\">WON THE TOSS AND ELECTED TO FIELD&nbsp;<img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/cricket-ball.png\" style=\"height:23px; width:23px\" title=\"\" \/>&nbsp;<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"color:#c0392b\">Faf du Plessis: &quot;We&#39;ve decided to chase today.

His pace was impressive, but even more so was his control over lengths, especially with that extra pace. Our bowling in the powerplay wasn&#39;t up to mark, too many deliveries played to their strengths. Maxwell did a great job pulling us back into the game, and we managed to restrict them towards the end. However, when chasing, building partnerships is crucial, and we failed to do that. We need to show some strong character in our next games to chase down totals successfully.&quot;&nbsp;<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"color:#000066\">KL Rahul | <img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/LSG-text.png\" style=\"height:18px; width:40px\" title=\"\" \/>&nbsp;Skipper: &quot;Overall, it was a solid team performance. The pitch offered some help for the fast bowlers, making it slightly tricky. By the time their bowlers figured out the right lengths to bowl, we had already put up a competitive score. We opted not to target the yorkers immediately, considering the pressure at Chinnaswamy can be overwhelming, and focused instead on bowling the right lengths.Keeping to Mayank Yadav was an experience, especially with one delivery hitting me quite hard. It&rsquo;s been fantastic watching Mayank&#39;s growth, especially after his patience through injury and training in Bombay.Regarding our record while defending, despite the trend in T20 to bowl first, our history suggests batting first works well for us. My strategy of losing the toss seems to work in our favor (laughs).<br \/>\nWe don&rsquo;t see setbacks in a negative light; it&rsquo;s all about how we stay engaged in the game. If we&rsquo;re outplayed, then it&rsquo;s a different discussion, but making mistakes is part of the game since the opposition also aims to win. Our focus is on improving our powerplay bowling, which has been a concern. This game we opted for spin, which worked well against their lineup, and we&rsquo;ll continue to work on taking early wickets.&quot;<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><br \/>\n<strong>PLAYER OF THE MATCH : <span style=\"color:#000066\">MAYANK YADAV&nbsp;&nbsp;<img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/clapping.png\" style=\"height:23px; width:23px\" title=\"\" \/>&nbsp;<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<span style=\"color:#000066\"><strong>Mayank Yadav: &quot;Winning the Player of the Match in two consecutive games feels great, but seeing my team win is even more satisfying.

Honestly, the early wickets were beyond our expectations, but their performances were exceptional.Our team is blessed with notable talents, yet it&#39;s the collective understanding of our role within the team that truly makes us stand out. Ashwin, for instance, adapting his bowling to the slowing pitch, exemplifies this perfectly, maintaining pressure during the crucial middle overs.There&#39;s a unique zeal within the squad to excel every IPL season.

Winning the toss and executing our plan set the tone, putting them under pressure right from the start. Facing Rohit, I always aim to mix it up; it&#39;s rewarding when the plan succeeds. Nandre Burger brings immense value with his confident South African bowling style, complementing our attack that includes consistent performers like Sandeep, Ashwin, and Chahal.

A pleasant breeze is sweeping across the field, and we&#39;re positioned on pitch number 4, perfectly centered. The boundaries measure 62m on either side of the wicket and extend to 71m down the ground. The pitch sports an even grass cover, and the robust root structure is holding the soil well, indicating limited turn. It looks like a fantastic pitch for batting. While the average first innings score from games prior to 2019 hovered around 157, it&#39;s a bit outdated. We anticipate the current average first innings score to be in the range of 175-180. Bowlers will need to be strategic in their approach, leaning towards back of a length deliveries, varying pace, and employing cutters effectively.

The pitch seems promising, and we aim to maximize it with our batting. Our goal is to post a solid total and then effectively defend it with our bowling. Practicing here has made a significant difference. We&#39;re making two adjustments to our lineup today. Kuldeep Yadav is dealing with a minor issue, so he&#39;s out, and Prithvi Shaw will be taking his place. Ishant Sharma will be stepping in for Ricky Bhui.

The spectacle of Dhoni&#39;s late onslaught, while thrilling, wasn&#39;t enough to bridge the gap for Chennai Super Kings. From the outset, Delhi Capitals executed their game plan with precision, maintaining control over the proceedings. The target of 192, initially seen as reachable given the favorable pitch conditions and shorter boundaries, became a daunting task under the spell of Khaleel Ahmed&#39;s remarkable opening spell. Ahmed&#39;s prowess not only led to the dismissal of CSK&#39;s crucial openers but also showcased his dominance over a talent like Rachin, highlighting the effectiveness of his attack.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Throughout the game, Delhi Capitals balanced aggression with strategic play, setting a formidable score thanks, in part, to Rishabh Pant&#39;s aggressive half-century. Despite the magical moments provided by Dhoni, it was the collective effort and strategic execution by the Capitals that sealed the deal.

Considering their start at 60 for no loss, pulling them back to 190 felt like a solid effort. Throughout the game, the pitch seemed consistent, though Rachin appeared to struggle a bit with the spongy bounce. Our start wasn&#39;t ideal, and that gap became the critical difference. Initially, the target seemed achievable, but we soon faced significant seam movement and struggled to catch up, lacking those crucial big overs. Regarding Deepak, he&#39;s accustomed to bowling three overs upfront, although the last over in the powerplay turned out costly. After two wins, a setback in the third game isn&#39;t unexpected. Losing by 20 runs came down to just a few shots, and overall, our bowlers performed commendably.&quot;&nbsp;<\/span><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<span style=\"color:#c0392b\">Rishabh Pant, <img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/DC-text.png\" style=\"height:20px; width:31px\" title=\"\" \/>&nbsp;Skipper: &quot;Today, our bowlers were spot on. We&#39;ve taken our previous lessons to heart. Shaw has been putting in the effort for the last two weeks, and giving him the opportunity paid off today. Mukesh&#39;s role, especially at the death, will vary from game to game. For me, cricket has always been my life, and giving my all is non-negotiable. After not playing much for 1.5 years, it took some time to adjust, but my self-belief has never wavered. It&#39;s crucial to keep coming back, no matter what.&quot;<br \/>\n<br \/>\nKhaleel Ahmed (Player of the Match): &quot;My performance today is the fruit of relentless hard work at the domestic level. I&#39;ve focused on enhancing my swing, and it&#39;s gratifying to see the outcomes. There&#39;s a unique joy in watching batters struggle against my swing. Of course, making a comeback to the Indian team remains my ultimate aim.

CSK&#39;s bowling unit then took centre stage, curtailing GT&#39;s chase to 143\/8.<\/p>\n\n<p>SRH, meanwhile, has been the talk of the tournament following their explosive performance against MI, where they racked up the highest-ever IPL team total of 277 runs.

Had a few goals, but can&#39;t help if injuries come in the way.&quot;<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","MatchRow":11,"ProjectedScore":"178","2ndProjectedScore":"0","3rdProjectedScore":"0","MOM":"Mayank Yadav","MOM_TYPE":"Bowling","MOMPlayerId":"987","MOMRuns":"-","MOMBalls":"-","MOMWicket":"3","MOMRC":"27","MOMImage":"https:\/\/scores.iplt20.com\/ipl\/playerimages\/amTBliCBsC1711262331987.png","KO":""},{"CompetitionID":148,"MatchID":1363,"MatchTypeID":8,"MatchType":"T20 (N)","MatchStatus":"Post","MatchDate":"2024-03-29","MatchDateNew":"29 Mar 2024","MatchName":"Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Kolkata Knight Riders","MatchTime":"19:30","GMTMatchTime":"14:00 GMT","GMTMatchDate":"2024-03-29","FirstBattingTeamID":19,"FirstBattingTeamName":"Royal Challengers Bengaluru","SecondBattingTeamID":16,"SecondBattingTeamName":"Kolkata Knight Riders","FirstBattingTeamCode":"RCB","SecondBattingTeamCode":"KKR","GroundID":12,"GroundName":"M Chinnaswamy Stadium","Commentss":"Kolkata Knight Riders Won by 7  Wickets ","TossTeam":"Kolkata Knight Riders","TossDetails":"Kolkata Knight Riders Won The Toss And Elected To Field","TossText":" Won The Toss And Elected To Field","Flag":1,"FirstBattingSummary":"182\/6 (20.0 Ov)","SecondBattingSummary":"186\/3 (16.5 Ov)","ClientMatchID":"","MATCH_COMMENCE_START_DATE":"2024-03-29 19:30:00","city":"Bengaluru","FlickrAlbumID":"","LiveStream":"","FBURL":"https:\/\/www.royalchallengers.com\/","T20ProMatchID":"","Temperature":"","WeatherIcon":"","TempUpdatedDate":"","GroundUmpire1ID":261,"GroundUmpire2ID":44,"GroundUmpire3ID":352,"RefereeID":88,"HomeTeamID":"19","HomeTeamName":"Royal Challengers Bengaluru","HomeTeamColor1":"#319490","HomeTeamColor2":"#df7317","AwayTeamColor1":"#319490","AwayTeamColor2":"#df7317","AwayTeamID":"16","AwayTeamName":"Kolkata Knight Riders","timezone1":"Asia\/Kolkata","MatchEndDate":"29 Mar 2024","MatchEndTime":"23:30","MATCH_NO_OF_OVERS":"20","ROUND_ID":"26","MatchTypeName":"T20","RowNo":10,"TeamType":null,"CompetitionName":"Tata Ipl 2024","GroundUmpire1":"Rohan Pandit","GroundUmpire2":"Anil Chaudhary","ThirdUmpire":"Bruce Oxenford","Comments":"Kolkata Knight Riders Won By 7  Wickets ","HomeTeamLogo":"https:\/\/scores.iplt20.com\/ipl\/teamlogos\/aFPMviEPyJ1710927747rcb.png","AwayTeamLogo":"https:\/\/scores.iplt20.com\/ipl\/teamlogos\/KKR.png","MatchHomeTeamLogo":"https:\/\/scores.iplt20.com\/ipl\/teamlogos\/aFPMviEPyJ1710927747rcb.png","MatchAwayTeamLogo":"https:\/\/scores.iplt20.com\/ipl\/teamlogos\/KKR.png","VideoScorecard":0,"TimeZone":"+9.5","CurrentStrikerID":"2018-100mb00000000012-ea4c47d2e99b11","CurrentStrikerName":"Shreyas Iyer","StrikerRuns":39,"StrikerBalls":24,"StrikerFours":2,"StrikerSixes":2,"StrikerSR":162.5,"StrikerImage":"https:\/\/scores.iplt20.com\/ipl\/playerimages\/1QBCWO2zhl171110625912.png","CurrentNonStrikerID":"2019-100mb00000000152-335aed3d44aa11","CurrentNonStrikerName":"Rinku Singh","NonStrikerRuns":5,"NonStrikerBalls":5,"NonStrikerFours":0,"NonStrikerSixes":0,"NonStrikerSR":100,"NonStrikerImage":"https:\/\/scores.iplt20.com\/ipl\/playerimages\/La76P0ZzSW1711106362152.png","CurrentBowlerID":"2022-100mb00000001547-613ed5ea54ee11","CurrentBowlerName":"Mayank Dagar","BowlerOvers":"2.5","BowlerRuns":23,"BowlerMaidens":0,"BowlerWickets":1,"BowlerEconomy":8.12,"BowlerSR":17,"BowlerImage":"https:\/\/scores.iplt20.com\/ipl\/playerimages\/kyHFvTvYdV17110079641547.png","ChasingText":"","MatchBreakComments":"","MatchProgress":"","CurrentInnings":"2","1Summary":"182\/6 (20.0 Overs)","1FallScore":"182","1FallWickets":"6","1FallOvers":"20.0","1RunRate":"9.1","2Summary":"186\/3 (16.5 Overs)","2FallScore":"186","2FallWickets":"3","2FallOvers":"16.5","2RunRate":"11.05","3Summary":"","3FallScore":"","3FallWickets":"","3FallOvers":"","3RunRate":"","4Summary":"","4FallScore":"","4FallWickets":"","4FallOvers":"","4RunRate":"","5Summary":"","5FallScore":"","5FallWickets":"","5FallOvers":"","5RunRate":"","6Summary":"","6FallScore":"","6FallWickets":"","6FallOvers":"","6RunRate":"","DivisionID":"6","SecondInningsFirstBattingID":null,"SecondInningsFirstBattingName":"","SecondInningsSecondBattingID":null,"SecondInningsSecondBattingName":"","ThirdInningsFirstBattingID":null,"ThirdInningsFirstBattingName":"","ThirdInningsSecondBattingID":null,"ThirdInningsSecondBattingName":"","WinningTeamID":"16","MatchOrder":"Match 10","RevisedOver":"","RevisedTarget":"","PreMatchCommentary":"<p><strong>Welcome to the blockbuster showdown as Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Kolkata Knight Riders prepare for an electrifying clash in match number 10 of the Indian Premier League 2024 at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium.&nbsp;The host, <img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/RCB-text.png\" style=\"height:18px; width:40px\" title=\"\" \/>&nbsp; steps into the arena with a win and a loss from their opening two encounters.

The square is a little bit used, but the outfield looks superb. The dimensions of the ground aren&#39;t huge. We are the centre of the square - 61 metres (square) on either side and 75 metres straight. A high six-hitting ground. In the first game played here, we saw a number of seam bowlers taking pace off the ball and using the slower option. Maybe that&#39;s something faster bowlers may go to today. It looks interesting. It&#39;s still a good wicket and if the spinners keep landing the ball well it can get you a little more turn.

Looking at the way we batted in the first innings it was tough due to the lack of pace.

Notably, since IPL 2013, MI has historically found themselves on the back foot in season openers.<\/p>\n\n<p>In their opening game, Jasprit Bumrah delivered an exceptional performance, with figures of 4-0-14-3, playing a crucial role in containing GT to a manageable total. Rohit Sharma, the stalwart Mumbaikar, contributed a fiery 43 off 29 balls, keeping MI&#39;s chase on track before his dismissal turned the tide of the game.

Both teams have won their respective openers, with CSK defeating their rival RCB, while GT overcame the five-time champions, Mumbai.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>For CSK, Mustafizur Rahman delivered a fearsome spell in the first game, claiming four important wickets, including those of Kohli, Faf, Patidar, and Green, while Deepak Chahar accounted for the dangerous Maxwell. Rachin Ravindra had an impressive debut, going berserk against the opposition with a quickfire 37 off 15 balls, while his compatriot, Daryl Mitchell, also made a notable debut, scoring 22 off 18, including two sixes. The duo of Shivam Dube and Ravindra Jadeja provided a perfect finish to the game with a solid half-century partnership.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>For GT, Sai Sudharsan and Shubman Gill picked up where they left off, impressing the management with a flurry of runs, with the former scoring 45 and the latter adding an important 31. The pace department collectively secured 8 wickets, with all four bowlers&mdash;Umesh Yadav, Mohit Sharma, Spencer Johnson, and Azmatullah Omarzai&mdash;picking up two wickets each. The spin duo of Sai Kishore and Rashid Khan bowled economically in the middle overs, conceding only 47 runs in their eight overs and taking a wicket.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>Both teams will look to carry the winning momentum going ahead.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/CSK-text.png\" style=\"height:20px; width:43px\" title=\"\" \/> vs <img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/GT-text.png\" style=\"height:20px; width:32px\" title=\"\" \/><strong> Head-to-Head:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>In the five games battled, <span style=\"color:#2980b9\">GT<\/span> won three games while <span style=\"color:#f39c12\">CSK<\/span> won two.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/commentaryFiles\/14_1711458728.png\" style=\"width:640px\" \/><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Stats and Records at MA Chidambaram Stadium:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>The Pacers have picked as many as 506 wickets in the 77 matches played at this venue while spinners have picked 331 wickets in as many games. 46 of the games have been won by teams defending while 31 games have been won by teams chasing.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Ground Dimensions:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/commentaryFiles\/IPl Stats Temp 2024 (3)_1711459596.png\" style=\"width:640px\" \/><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>PITCH REPORT:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Matthew Hayden<\/strong>&nbsp;: &quot;It&#39;s a different track tonight.

The innings were marked by notable contributions from their lineup, particularly the left-handed duo Rachin Ravindra and Shivam Dube. Ravindra delivered a fiery 46 at a strike rate of 230, while Dube unleashed a barrage of hits, amassing 51 off just 23 balls. Tasked with a daunting target of 206, GT faced an uphill battle right from the onset, compounded by the early loss of their captain, Shubman Gill, during the powerplay. Deepak Chahar&#39;s initial breakthroughs, removing both openers, laid the groundwork for CSK&#39;s dominance in the subsequent overs. GT struggled to find their rhythm, with CSK&#39;s bowlers efficiently dismantling their batting lineup and ensuring wickets fell consistently. Ultimately, GT could not surmount the challenge, falling short by 63 runs, as CSK&#39;s fortress remained unbreached.<\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"color:#2980b9\">Shubman Gill, GT Skipper:<\/span> <span style=\"color:#2980b9\">&quot;They outplayed us in the second innings and their execution was spot on.

I think it&rsquo;s a great learning for the bowlers. I think it&rsquo;s better to have this kind of game early on in the tournament rather than in the latter stage.

In Chennai we are not sure how the wicket will be, we need to do well irrespective of batting or bowling first. Here if we have wickets in hand at the end it helps. Personally felt, that Rachin batted brilliantly in the powerplay and took the game away. From there we were always ahead. Shivam Dube is high on confidence, the management and Mahi bhai worked with him, and his confidence is very high. He knows his roles very well. Definitely he is a big plus for us.

The pitch is rock hard, there&#39;s a bit of grass on it and what we know about last year&#39;s IPL is the average first innings score is 196. The ball is going to fly everywhere. The trend in this IPL so far has been the home team winning. Can the RCB get off the mark tonight in front of their adoring fans? There are a few cracks but they look superficial and it also looks patchy with patches of grass. Maybe a little bit two-paced because it is dry where there are cracks but under lights you expect the ball to come on to the bat&quot;.&nbsp;<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/commentaryFiles\/IPl Stats Temp 2024 (18)_1711375005.jpg\" style=\"width:640px\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>TOSS:&nbsp;<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/commentaryFiles\/MicrosoftTeams-image - 2024-03-25T193843_1711375756.png\" style=\"width:640px\" \/>&nbsp;<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/RCB-text.png\" style=\"height:18px; width:40px\" title=\"\" \/> <span style=\"color:#2980b9\">has won the toss and have elected to <img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/ball.png\" style=\"height:23px; width:23px\" title=\"\" \/>&nbsp; first<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#2980b9\"><strong>Faf du Plesis, <img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/RCB-text.png\" style=\"height:18px; width:40px\" title=\"\" \/> Skipper: &quot;We are going to have a bowl.

Yash Dayal&#39;s formidable powerplay overs, coupled with Siraj&#39;s adept run rate management, saw the duo surrender a mere 49 runs across their combined 8 overs while claiming three vital wickets. Shashank Singh&#39;s spirited charge towards the end propelled PBKS to a commendable 176.<\/p>\n\n<p>RCB&#39;s chase witnessed early setbacks, losing two wickets early on, yet Kohli, true to his moniker &#39;King Kohli,&#39; kept the scoreboard ticking, crafting a masterful 77 off 49 balls.

It was then that DK stepped up, epitomizing the adage &quot;cometh the hour, cometh the man,&quot; alongside Mahipal Lomror, who unleashed a flurry of shots. Lomror&#39;s rapid 17 off 8 and DK&#39;s explosive 28 at an astounding strike rate of 280 ushered RCB to victory with four balls to spare, illustrating the dynamic, unpredictable nature of cricket where heroes emerge in the face of adversity.<\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><strong><span style=\"color:#c0392b\">Shikhar Dhawan, <img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/PK-text.png\" style=\"height:20px; width:54px\" title=\"\" \/> Skipper: &quot; &nbsp;It was a decent game, we came back and again lost it.

Gujarat Titans&#39; opening duo, Wriddhiman Saha and Shubman Gill, got off to a swift start.&nbsp;Gill contributed 31 from 22 deliveries, B Sai Sudharsan compiled 45 from 39, and Azmatullah Omarzai&#39;s brief appearance yielded 17 runs off 11 balls. Bumrah&#39;s tight bowling was the highlight, ending the figures of 4-0-14-3. Rahul Tewatia&#39;s quick 22 off 15 helped set GT&#39;s score at 168\/6 by the end of their innings. Omarzai early on rattled MI with the dismissal of Ishan Kishan for a duck and later Naman Dhir, who had started aggressively with 20 runs from 10 balls. Rohit Sharma and Dewald Brevis stitched together a promising 77-run partnership, seemingly steering Mumbai towards a comfortable chase during the mid-overs. However, Sai Kishore, managed to dismiss Rohit for 43 off 29 balls, signaling a shift in momentum. As the match progressed, GT&#39;s bowlers excellently exploited the conditions, elevating the required run rate and putting pressure on the Mumbai lineup, which faltered despite having power hitters like Tim David and Pandya. Mohit Sharma&#39;s spell of 4-0-32-2 and Spencer Johnson&#39;s crucial 19th over, where he claimed two vital wickets, underscored a remarkable turnaround by the Titans just as MI appeared in control of their chase. Needing 19 runs off the last over, Pandya&#39;s initial boundaries brought hope, narrowing it down to 9 required from 4 balls.

Despite these challenges, their batsmen lit up the powerplays, marking themselves as the most aggressive starters, a stark contrast to LSG&#39;s more measured approach, which ranked them among the slowest. Looking ahead to IPL 2024, both Rajasthan Royals and Lucknow Super Giants maintain their squad cores without major overhauls. Royals&#39; strategy revolves around the formidable Jos Buttler, while LSG will lean on KL Rahul&#39;s prowess, with Devdutt Padikkal potentially leading their charge as the opener. The spin duo of Ravi Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal for Rajasthan, and Naveen-ul-Haq with Ravi Bishnoi for Lucknow, are set to headline their respective bowling attacks.

Riyan Parag then took charge, contributing a valuable 43 to the innings. The partnership between Samson and Parag laid the foundation for RR&#39;s substantial total. Samson&#39;s innings, coupled with Dhruv Jurel&#39;s quickfire cameo, propelled RR to 193\/4. On the LSG front, Naveen-ul-Haq emerged as the lead bowler, claiming two crucial wickets. LSG initially lost 3 wickets in the powerplay and was put on the backfoot. KL held one end and Hooda provided the acceleration! As the chase intensified, LSG found themselves in a crunch situation, needing 49 runs off the final 24 deliveries. It was Sharma&#39;s crucial over, culminating in Rahul&#39;s wicket, that tipped the scales. Despite Rahul&#39;s patient 58 and Pooran&#39;s more aggressive 64* off 41, their efforts fell short. Initially, RR seemed to lose grip after reducing LSG to a precarious position, but Sharma, with his 1 for 22 in three overs, was precisely what RR needed. Their tight bowling restricted LSG, sealing a pivotal win for the home side.<\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#ff0066\"><strong>Sanju Samson, RR Skipper and Player of the Match:<\/strong><\/span> <span style=\"color:#ff0066\">&quot;Always great to spend time in the middle and it becomes more special when you win the game.

Neither team managed to secure a spot in the playoffs in the previous season.&nbsp;<br \/>\nThis year, both teams will be steered by new captains, bringing a fresh perspective to the field. Shreyas Iyer makes his much-anticipated return to KKR, ready to lead the team with renewed vigour after a year&#39;s absence. Meanwhile, Pat Cummins, known for his cool and composed demeanor, takes the helm of SRH following a series of global cricketing successes. The inclusion of Travis Head and Wanindu Hasaranga, alongside the trade for Shahbaz Ahmed, positions SRH as one of the most well-rounded teams in the competition. With Marco Jansen and Aiden Markram also key figures, SRH is looking forward to initiating their campaign on a triumphant note.<br \/>\nOn the other side, KKR is eager to make a strong start under the leadership of Shreyas Iyer, who is back to infuse dynamism and strategic prowess into the team. The acquisition of Mitchell Starc represents a significant investment, adding a layer of rich experience to the squad. The team also welcomed Dushmantha Chameera as a replacement for the injured Atkinson, and Phill Salt steps in for Jason Roy, who opted out of the IPL to manage his workload. With such strategic changes, KKR aims to embark on this tournament with high spirits and a winning mindset.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>KKR vs SRH Head-to-Head&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>In the 25 games contested between the two, <span style=\"color:#8e44ad\"><strong>KKR has won 16 games<\/strong><\/span> while <strong><span style=\"color:#d35400\">SRH has managed to win the rest of the nine.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/commentaryFiles\/IPl 2024 Notification Temp_1711198258.jpg\" style=\"width:640px\" \/><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Stats at Eden Garden:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>The Pacers have picked 503 wickets at this venue while the spinners have managed to pick 378 wickets. <strong>The average score batting first here is 160.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><br \/>\n<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><strong><img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/commentaryFiles\/IPl Stats Temp 2024 (7)_1711198602.jpg\" style=\"width:640px\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>TOSS:&nbsp;<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/commentaryFiles\/GJXDSA5W8AESks6_1711204002.jpg\" style=\"width:640px\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"color:#d35400\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/SRH-text.png\" style=\"height:18px; width:40px\" title=\"\" \/>&nbsp;has won the toss and have elected to <img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/ball.png\" style=\"height:23px; width:23px\" title=\"\" \/> first&nbsp;<br \/>\n<br \/>\nPat Cummins <img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/SRH-text.png\" style=\"height:18px; width:40px\" title=\"\" \/>&nbsp;Skipper: We&#39;ve decided to bowl first; the pitch looks great.

However, KKR&#39;s spinners, led by Sunil Narine, tightened the screws in the middle overs, making the chase increasingly arduous. Klaasen&#39;s late surge, scoring a fiery 63 in 29, brought SRH tantalizingly close, but Rana&#39;s cool final over, defending 13 runs, clinched the thriller for KKR.This electrifying clash wasn&#39;t just a game; it was a testament to KKR&#39;s resilience and strategic brilliance, echoing the golden era of 2014 with Gambhir&#39;s spirit felt in the dugout and Russell and Narine turning back the clock with their match-winning performances. As KKR embarks on their campaign with a nail-biting victory, the echoes of Eden Gardens&#39; roars remind us of the magic of cricket and the fine margins that define it.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#d35400\"><strong>Pat Cummins <img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/SRH-text.png\" style=\"height:18px; width:40px\" title=\"\" \/>&nbsp;Skipper : &quot;It was a nail-biter, truly a fantastic display of cricket. Sadly, it didn&rsquo;t swing in our favor. I&rsquo;m largely pleased with our bowling effort through the game. Andre Russell, in the closing stages, did what he&rsquo;s known for, proving to be a formidable challenge to contain. On the whole, I believe we managed quite well. Despite the planning and execution, facing someone like Dre Russ is always a tough call. He played some exceptional shots, though there were a few deliveries we possibly could have executed differently. Bowling to a powerhouse like him in the final overs is arguably the most challenging task in cricket. It can go either way, but it was remarkable how Klaas (Klaasen) and Shahbaz brought us back into contention and nearly across the line. It was unexpected yet impressive to get that close. Competing against such a strong team, especially at their home ground, is commendable. There&#39;s a lot from this game that&rsquo;s encouraging, alongside standout performances, but also a few aspects we need to tweak. I&rsquo;m content with how the coin toss turned out.&quot;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#8e44ad\"><strong>Shreyas Iyer&nbsp;<img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/KKR-text.png\" style=\"height:18px; width:40px\" title=\"\" \/>&nbsp;Skipper: &quot;Heading into the 17th over, my stomach was in knots, sensing the game could swing any way in the final moments. With 13 runs needed and a less experienced bowler at the helm, the pressure was palpable. Yet, my belief in him was unwavering. I reassured him, urging him to have faith in his abilities, emphasizing that the outcome was secondary. He seemed anxious, but I made it a point to look him straight in the eyes and remind him, &#39;this is your moment, buddy.&#39; Encouraging him to trust in his skills, regardless of the game&#39;s direction. Their team&#39;s experience is formidable. Watching Andre excel with both bat and ball, along with Sunny&#39;s exceptional performance with the ball, was heartening. Having such talent in the team not only motivates but also brings a wealth of knowledge. Kicking off with a victory always boosts morale. Nevertheless, this match has been a learning curve, offering insights we&#39;re keen to carry forward. Fielding, in particular, is one aspect we&#39;re looking to bolster.&quot;&nbsp;<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<span style=\"color:#8e44ad\"><strong>Andre Russell | Player of the Match: Honestly, it&#39;s not often that I pay attention, but occasionally, I&#39;ll notice highlights on my Instagram and realize just how well I&#39;ve been hitting the ball. It&#39;s a nice reminder that things are going well. I&#39;ve had to adapt to whatever&#39;s thrown my way, especially in the past couple of years, as bowlers craft specific plans against me. Despite that, I&#39;ve managed to score runs, fully aware that every opponent has a strategy for me. Reflecting on my time with KKR, I started off on the sidelines, but I always aimed to contribute meaningfully. This team holds a special place in my heart, and what I achieved tonight is a testament to the significance of wearing this jersey. I&#39;m hopeful to continue delivering performances like this. Speaking of Harshit Rana, his actions speak volumes about his character. He was adamant about bowling the final over, took the responsibility upon himself, and remarkably bounced back after the first delivery was hit for a six.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n","MatchRow":3,"ProjectedScore":"204","2ndProjectedScore":"0","3rdProjectedScore":"0","MOM":"Andre Russell","MOM_TYPE":"Batting\/Bowling","MOMPlayerId":"141","MOMRuns":"64","MOMBalls":"25","MOMWicket":"2","MOMRC":"25","MOMImage":"https:\/\/scores.iplt20.com\/ipl\/playerimages\/k9HNNNr5UH1711106337141.png","KO":""},{"CompetitionID":148,"MatchID":1355,"MatchTypeID":5,"MatchType":"T20 D\/N","MatchStatus":"Post","MatchDate":"2024-03-23","MatchDateNew":"23 Mar 2024","MatchName":"Punjab Kings vs Delhi Capitals","MatchTime":"15:30","GMTMatchTime":"10:00 GMT","GMTMatchDate":"2024-03-23","FirstBattingTeamID":14,"FirstBattingTeamName":"Delhi Capitals","SecondBattingTeamID":15,"SecondBattingTeamName":"Punjab Kings","FirstBattingTeamCode":"DC","SecondBattingTeamCode":"PBKS","GroundID":131,"GroundName":"PCA New Stadium","Commentss":"Punjab Kings Won by 4  Wickets ","TossTeam":"Punjab Kings","TossDetails":"Punjab Kings Won The Toss And Elected To Field","TossText":" Won The Toss And Elected To Field","Flag":1,"FirstBattingSummary":"174\/9 (20.0 Ov)","SecondBattingSummary":"177\/6 (19.2 Ov)","ClientMatchID":"","MATCH_COMMENCE_START_DATE":"2024-03-23 15:30:00","city":"Mullanpur","FlickrAlbumID":"","LiveStream":"","FBURL":"","T20ProMatchID":"","Temperature":"","WeatherIcon":"","TempUpdatedDate":"","GroundUmpire1ID":221,"GroundUmpire2ID":95,"GroundUmpire3ID":61,"RefereeID":87,"HomeTeamID":"15","HomeTeamName":"Punjab Kings","HomeTeamColor1":"#319490","HomeTeamColor2":"#df7317","AwayTeamColor1":"#319490","AwayTeamColor2":"#df7317","AwayTeamID":"14","AwayTeamName":"Delhi Capitals","timezone1":"Asia\/Kolkata","MatchEndDate":"23 Mar 2024","MatchEndTime":"19:30","MATCH_NO_OF_OVERS":"20","ROUND_ID":"26","MatchTypeName":"T20","RowNo":2,"TeamType":null,"CompetitionName":"Tata Ipl 2024","GroundUmpire1":"Madanagopal Jayaraman","GroundUmpire2":"Nikhil Patwardhan","ThirdUmpire":"Alex Wharf","Comments":"Punjab Kings Won By 4  Wickets ","HomeTeamLogo":"https:\/\/scores.iplt20.com\/ipl\/teamlogos\/DC.png","AwayTeamLogo":"https:\/\/scores.iplt20.com\/ipl\/teamlogos\/PBKS.png","MatchHomeTeamLogo":"https:\/\/scores.iplt20.com\/ipl\/teamlogos\/PBKS.png","MatchAwayTeamLogo":"https:\/\/scores.iplt20.com\/ipl\/teamlogos\/DC.png","VideoScorecard":0,"TimeZone":"+9.5","CurrentStrikerID":"2019-100mb00000000183-f4a991db44b611","CurrentStrikerName":"Liam Livingstone","StrikerRuns":38,"StrikerBalls":21,"StrikerFours":2,"StrikerSixes":3,"StrikerSR":180.95,"StrikerImage":"https:\/\/scores.iplt20.com\/ipl\/playerimages\/pUwFBE2gZx1711170298183.png","CurrentNonStrikerID":"2019-100mb00000000130-89338eb7449a11","CurrentNonStrikerName":"Harpreet Brar","NonStrikerRuns":2,"NonStrikerBalls":2,"NonStrikerFours":0,"NonStrikerSixes":0,"NonStrikerSR":100,"NonStrikerImage":"https:\/\/scores.iplt20.com\/ipl\/playerimages\/Cmg9oXuZj31711170126130.png","CurrentBowlerID":"2022-100mb00000001535-6fd8867c54e911","CurrentBowlerName":"Sumit Kumar","BowlerOvers":"1.2","BowlerRuns":19,"BowlerMaidens":0,"BowlerWickets":0,"BowlerEconomy":14.25,"BowlerSR":0,"BowlerImage":"https:\/\/scores.iplt20.com\/ipl\/playerimages\/b99QXAsodH17111719201535.png","ChasingText":"","MatchBreakComments":"","MatchProgress":"98.33","CurrentInnings":"2","1Summary":"174\/9 (20.0 Overs)","1FallScore":"174","1FallWickets":"9","1FallOvers":"20.0","1RunRate":"8.7","2Summary":"177\/6 (19.2 Overs)","2FallScore":"177","2FallWickets":"6","2FallOvers":"19.2","2RunRate":"9.16","3Summary":"","3FallScore":"","3FallWickets":"","3FallOvers":"","3RunRate":"","4Summary":"","4FallScore":"","4FallWickets":"","4FallOvers":"","4RunRate":"","5Summary":"","5FallScore":"","5FallWickets":"","5FallOvers":"","5RunRate":"","6Summary":"","6FallScore":"","6FallWickets":"","6FallOvers":"","6RunRate":"","DivisionID":"6","SecondInningsFirstBattingID":null,"SecondInningsFirstBattingName":"","SecondInningsSecondBattingID":null,"SecondInningsSecondBattingName":"","ThirdInningsFirstBattingID":null,"ThirdInningsFirstBattingName":"","ThirdInningsSecondBattingID":null,"ThirdInningsSecondBattingName":"","WinningTeamID":"15","MatchOrder":"Match 2","RevisedOver":"","RevisedTarget":"","PreMatchCommentary":"<p><strong>Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals will start their campaign facing each other in match number 2 of the Indian Premier League 2024 at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur, Chandigarh.

The presence of Pant will set the balance of Delhi in the batting department, while they have invested a huge price for the young sensation, Kumar Kushagra, who showed promise in the domestic circuits. Australian Captain Mitchell Marsh and Axar Patel are their key all-rounders, while Anrich Nortje will spearhead their pace bowling attack, and David Warner will be the key prospect with the bat, given the huge amount of experience he has got. The new-look Delhi will be keen to start their campaign on a high.Punjab Kings, on the other hand, led by Shikhar Dhawan, will be finding their combinations right this season. The trio of Rabada, Sam Curran, and Arshdeep Singh form the base of their bowling attack, while the addition of Harshal Patel has strengthened their bowling unit, providing a variety of options in the death. In the batting department, they have invested a good price in Rilee Rossouw, who will combine with Dhawan and Livingstone, forming a strong batting core. Jonny Bairstow is set to return to the squad to provide depth in the batting, along with the finisher, Jitesh Sharma.

However, this season, they&#39;ll be without key players Devon Conway and Matheesha Pathirana, who were instrumental in their success, as well as Ambati Rayudu, who will be missed following his retirement. Despite these absences, CSK has refreshed its squad with promising talents such as Sameer Rizvi and Aravelley Avanish, who have shown remarkable performance in local circuits recently. The inclusion of potent players like Daryl Mitchell and Rachin Ravindra adds a dynamic edge to the team, making CSK a well-balanced mix of experience and youthful exuberance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>On the other hand, Royal Challengers Bengaluru is looking to bounce back from a rather ordinary season last year, finishing in sixth place with an equal number of wins and losses. Their performance heavily relied on the batting prowess of Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis, and Glenn Maxwell, while their bowling lineup struggled to make an impact. To revamp their bowling attack, RCB released Harshal Patel, Wanindu Hasaranga, and Josh Hazlewood, bringing in Alzarri Joseph, Lockie Ferguson, and Yash Dayal.

Looks a good pitch, conditions here are always a bat first wicket. First time back here, great to see the Chennai fans again but I&#39;m here with RCB and hopefully we can turn over a very good CSK team. Prep has been good, we need to turn up now. Andy Flower is a seasoned campaigner, brings that experience. Our bowling resources fit well. Got more backup. Hopefully, injuires don&#39;t concern us much. Alzarri Joseph comes in tonight, got a few spinners in the middle.

But I want to try and be in my shoes, not fill MSD&#39;s shoes. I got to know last week, but Mahi bhai hinted at it last year. Everyone is experienced here, sadly we are missing Conway and Pathirana. We&#39;ve got Rachin and Mitchell coming in though this year so they should fit in well. Four overseas - Mitchell, Rachin, Fizz and Theekshana.

Although it may not have been the suspenseful drama that some had anticipated, this major competition is off to a great start. RCB performed admirably earlier, posting 173 after struggling at 78\/5. Courtesy of Mustafizur Rahman who bagged 4 wickets on his CSK Debut. Although it was a respectable score and RCB would have realized that they needed to bowl well because the surface became slightly more favorable for batting under lights. The opening pair for CSK were off to a flying start, with Rachin making a memorable debut with a 15-ball 37. RCB somewhat recovered during the middle overs. But the onslaught from Dube and Jadeja gave no chance to RCB bowlers to stage a comeback during the death overs.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#f39c12\"><strong>Mustafizur Rahman is Player of the Match<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#c0392b\"><strong>Faf du Plesis, <img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/RCB-text.png\" style=\"height:18px; width:40px\" title=\"\" \/> Skipper: &quot; Always when you play, you get a bit of dip after the powerplay. Chennai is a very good team in the middle overs, they squeeze you with their spinners. Maybe we were about 15-20 runs short, the pitch wasn&rsquo;t as bad as we played in the first 10 overs. They were always ahead in the chase, we tried to squeeze and get a couple of wickets, but in the end, we didn&rsquo;t have enough runs on the board. On this pitch, it is always better to bat first. Last year, the record leans towards teams that batted first. The ball started to grip a bit with our spinners. Good for DK to set up his season, especially for someone who hasn&rsquo;t played a lot of cricket. Anuj Rawat has shown some great promise for us, he showed great composure for a young guy and great power through the backend.&quot;<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#f39c12\"><strong>Ruturaj Gaikwad, <img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/CSK-text.png\" style=\"height:20px; width:43px\" title=\"\" \/> Skipper: &quot; Total control I would say, right from the start apart from two-three overs in the middle over phase. Would&rsquo;ve loved 10-15 runs less but I think they played well towards the end to get to that score. I feel that was a big turning point to get Maxwell and Faf out. We got three quick wickets and it helped us control the next overs, that was the real turning point. I&rsquo;ve always enjoyed it captaincy, but never felt it as an additional pressure. Role clarity helps. Couple of things to work on, everyone batted well but I think if someone from the top 3 batted till the 15th over it would&rsquo;ve been even easier.&quot;<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","MatchRow":1,"ProjectedScore":"188","2ndProjectedScore":"0","3rdProjectedScore":"0","MOM":"Mustafizur Rahman","MOM_TYPE":"Bowling","MOMPlayerId":"258","MOMRuns":"-","MOMBalls":"-","MOMWicket":"4","MOMRC":"29","MOMImage":"https:\/\/scores.iplt20.com\/ipl\/playerimages\/q4cdVvsO361711105817258.png","KO":""}]});
