Indian Premier League 2024 (22nd March-29th May)

[NYRB]

SRH are blowing in the field in the last over. No game awareness at all.

 

[NYRB]

RR used up all their reviews, so couldnt review the LBW on the last ball. Oh my! Famous win by 1 run.

 

[NYRB]

Best game of IPL 2024. Wow .

 

[NYRB]

Result effectively ends the hopes of RCB and Mumbai from finishing in the Top 2. Standings after Game 50:

 

[NYRB]

Pat Cummins bowled a very decent 19th over last night and I thought his captaincy was spot on in the backend of SRH V RR.

 

[akkaps]

Surprised we won that game

 

[NYRB]

RR used up all their reviews, so couldnt review the LBW on the last ball. Oh my! Famous win by 1 run.

Comms said at the time there were no reviews left but RR did review that decision last ball.

I thought on inspection LBW was closer than what alot were thinking at first inspection (eg players and comms)

 

[NYRB]

Game 51:

Here are the Impact substitutes for both the teams:

Kolkata Knight Riders Impact Subs: Anukul Roy, Manish Pandey, Srikar Bharat, Sherfane Rutherford, Chetan Sakariya

Mumbai Indians have won the toss and have opted to field

 

[NYRB]

Nick Knight saying its a fresh wicket tonight.

 

[NYRB]

After Carlton v Collingwood blockbuster tonight, this promises to be a humdinger of an encounter Friday night under the prime time lights of Mumbai.

 

[NYRB]

Australias favourite son, Michael Clarke in commentary tonight on Kayo.

 

[NYRB]

KKR In a bit of bother at 22 for 2 off 2.2 overs (said in a Richie Benaud style)

 

[NYRB]

Mumbai have won 9 of their last 10 against KKR at the Wankehede

 

[NYRB]

KKR sink further at 28/3 off 3 overs. Mumbai are all over KKR right now.

 

[NYRB]

KRR are batting like this wicket is Eden Gardens. At 43/4 (4.2 overs) they are in a bit of bother right now.

 

[NYRB]

Rinku goes out to Chawla and KKR 57/5 after 37 balls. They may need to use an impact sub here.

 

[NYRB]

KKR saving Andre Russell at 8 here but one senses these two have to bat till the 15th over before launching.

 

[NYRB]

Manish Pandey Impact Sub activated at 7 for KKR. Thats a handy batsman.

 

[NYRB]

Do Mumbai go for the kill and bowl Bumrah ?

 

[NYRB]

Bumrah outstanding

KKR Bowled out for 169 runs . Advantage Mumbai at the change of innings.

 

[NYRB]

Starc showing why he is one of the more expensive bowlers in the IPL. 3 wickets in that 19th over and that will silence some of the doubters.

 

[NYRB]

Standings After Game 51:

Starc: Impact Player rule has played a part in bowlers' inflated numbers

Says scoring rates are unlikely to be this high at the T20 World Cup, which starts just a week after the IPL

That rule will be gone next season.
