After keeping Shakib on the bench for 5 matches, Kolkata has added Shakib to their squad today. Shakib should have been given a place in the squad earlier. Because, foreign players like Morgan, Narine are not performing well. SRH's collection in 11 overs is only 54/4. Shakib managed to take 1 wicket with 10 runs in 3 overs. Pretty good bowling.
All the KKR bowlers did well.. including Shakib. I was disappointed because they didn't included Lockie Ferguson. T20 seems to be a no-go zone for bowlers who average 90 mph and above. For SRH, the game was over as soon as Saha, Roy and Williamson got out. Their middle order is really useless. Priyam Garg got a good start, but he could not convert it to a big score. Right now they are 80/6 after 16.1 overs. Looks like they may struggle to get to a three digit total (unless Rashid Khan can score some big hits).

Kolkata bowlers have shown an extraordinary performance today. Especially the performance of Sakib and Narine was very good. Hyderabad scored only 120 runs in 20 overs. It is not possible to win with a target of 115 runs on such a batting-friendly pitch unless the Kolkata players face a batting disaster. If the Kolkata opener can make a good start for the batsmen then it is an easy win for Kolkata. And if they lose this match. Then sorry to say, Kolkata is not a worthy team to go to the next round.
I think Shakib is a world-class cricketer! Regardless, he turned in an excellent performance after a long break through bowling and fielding. SRH were restricted to 115/8 with an impressive bowling performance from Kolkata Knight Riders. It will be an easy and deserved victory for the Knight Riders. I'm watching the chase. SRH is having a forgettable season this season, nothing is going right for them.

116 to win. The chances that SRH may win this match is less than 1%. The tailenders added some valuable runs, else they would have ended below 100. Is it that difficult for the SRH to find some local talent? Always it is like 4 players of SRH (overseas quota) against 11 players of the opposite team. The local players have almost zero contribution. This was not a major issue when Warner, Williamson, Rashid and Holder were in form. But now it looks like their overseas players have also gone out of form.

BTW, JSRAW will be happy. The Kolkata Knight Riders have included Shakib Al Hasan in their squad (replaces Tim Seifert). BTW, Umran Malik from Jammu and Kashmir is making his debut for Sunrisers Hyderabad.

Bhai i'm big fan of Shakib in every format. I wish we had couple of more guys like him along with Jaddu and Ashwin. Good on KKR that they included him tonight, hope he perform with the bat too. Pitches in UAE are slow and SRH bowlers are good on slow pitches so they need to watch out for the surprises.

Umran Malik is local guy for me but never heard about him in the domestic, guess Irfan Pathan is backing him similar to Samad.

Punjab Kings just blew their opportunity to qualify and they need to win the match against Royal Challengers Bangalore to stand a chance to get qualified and they blew up at the last moment. Today Kolkata Knight Riders is looking for a win and by the way the match is going Sunrisers Hyderabad is giving them the opportunity in a golden platter as they are struggling for 110 for the loss of 8 wickets and just 2 balls left.

It should have been an easy win for the Punjab Kings. But they literally threw away the match. They were 91/0 after 11 overs and ended up at 158/6. Royal Challengers Bangalore won the match by 6 runs. This is the 4th consecutive failure for Nicholas Pooran, and I guess they should consider Deepak Hooda in his place. And with the extra overseas slot, they can play either Chris Jordan, Nathan Ellis or Riley Meredith. 

It was not an easy win for the Punjab Kings. We all know that the performance of their players is irregular. However, if the middle order batsmen performed a little better, they could have won. Despite the good performances of Kl Rahul and Agarwal, the performance of other players was very poor. We have seen such incidents in the previous few matches. Punjab has managed to score only 10 points in 13 matches. They don’t seem to be able to go to the next round.

Suddenly change of situation is fascinating I was sure they are going to win this match very easily and will enjoy their better NRR but now few quick wickets, and they are out of match even Shahrukh is on crease, but they are going to lose match because last over, and they need 20 runs which is not achievable for them in current situation after having very start from Rahul and Agarwal. This lost is going to give them big setback as they will be out of race and moral is also going down as they are on top, but suddenly they lost.

Edit: first ball of 20th over and Shahrukh gone, mean match is also gone from their hands.

LOL.. all of a sudden the RCB vs Punjab Kings match has become interesting. Kings were cruising nicely, but then Chahal and Garton picked up crucial wickets to put them on backfoot. Shahrukh Khan hit a massive hit off the bowling of Harshal Patel just now, but Kings still need 27 runs from two overs. Not impossible, but right now RCB is having the advantage. Mohammed Siraj and Harshal Patel need to bowl the 19th and 20th overs respectively. If they don't make too many mistakes, then RCB will end up with two more points, which will take their tally to 16. And this would mean that they qualify for the playoffs.

Anyone following the National T20 cup. Khyber and Sindth teams are leading the table but central Punjab and Northern Pakistan aren't far away in the points table. There are some very competitive cricket being played and the young talents performance is mind blowing.


The match between Northern Pakistan and Khyber P is under progress and it look like Northern Pakistan may win this one.
Khyber need 34 runs in 17 balls. I think Northern Pakistan should be able to defend the total of 181 runs. Shadab Khan captain of  Northern Pakistan played well to score 46 runs along with Mohammad Nawaz who scored 51 runs.

Eventually, the PBKS team was able to win against KKR. KKR lost this match due to their bowling in today's match. I don't understand why Shakib Al Hasan is not being given a place in the squad even after being in the team. Narine is not performing as expected. Southee bowled very poorly today. Management should give Shakib a chance.
Only 4 overseas players can be included. One of their best bowlers can't be included (Lockie Ferguson), because spots were taken by Tim Southee and Sunil Narine. Eoin Morgan and Andre Russell make up for the remaining spots (they included Tim Seifert in the place of Russell yesterday). If Shakib has to be included, then the captain himself needs to drop out. Otherwise the bowlers are in very good form (Narine, Ferguson, Southee). Also, there is no room for an allrounder, as Venkatesh Iyer is doing an amazing job right now.
They should have added Shakib for the last game. Seifert is opening batsman and he came at no 7. Local openers doing good job for the KKR so Seifert inclusion in the squad made no sense to me. Also Shakib could have bowled as front line bowler so that they don't need to use part timers during critical period but it seems Morgan losing his mojo with his form along with the coaching staff.

Morgan is not doing well. Seifert's performance is not good. The team is not getting the expected performance from Sunil Narine. In this situation, they should be given a chance to be the best player in the world like Shakib. If Shakib had been in the squad in the previous match, I think Kolkata could have won. Kolkata lost only because of poor bowling.
Oh well, it was Seifert's first IPL game so he was debutant in the last game he played. My point was he's opener not lower order batsman so Morgan and KKR's think tank wasted him in the last game, they can't fit him at the top order because Local talent is doing exceptionable job. Clearly a lack of planning and tactic keeping Shakib out from the bench.

Looks like Punjab Kings are having upper hand here. Garton had bowled an excellent over (14th) in which he conceded just three runs. And then over-rated Mohammed Siraj released the pressure the very next over by conceding a couple of boundaries. As long as Mayank is there, I don't foresee any real chance for the Royal Challengers Bangalore. Kings have 8 wickets to spare, and they only need another 52 runs in 5 overs. Sarfaraz Khan, Shahrukh Khan and Moises Henriques are yet to bat and they are all known for big hits.

Edit: Mayank gone.

IPL update:

Today we have two matches both are very crucial for Punjab Kings and KKR because these both teams are still in for qualifying just need some better effort from them first match is going to start in 5 minutes, and we have teams announcement's RCB no changes and Punjab Kings with three changes.

RCB: 1. Kohli , 2. Padikkal, 3. Srikar Bharat, 4. Maxwell, 5. ABD, 6. Dan Christian, 7. Shahbaz Ahmed, 8. George Garton, 9. Harshal Patel, 10. Siraj, 11. Chahal

PK: 1. KL Rahul, 2. M Agarwal, 3. Markram, 4. Nicholas Pooran, 5. Sarfaraz Khan, 6. Shahrukh Khan, 7. Henriques, 8. Harpreet Brar, 9. Bishnoi, 10. Shami, 11. Arshdeep Singh

RCB start was very good through Kohli and Padikkal they give some good punishment to Punjab King bowlers but kohli's wicket give some good opportunity to Punjab King bowlers for fighting back, and they have done very good job even in middle Maxwell and AB De Villiers also have some good hitting but Mohammad Shami keep his cool after some punishment and bring back his team in last few overs.

I was expecting target like 190 to 195, but they have done good and restricted them to RCB for 164 for 7 now they have some good opportunity to done job like Rajasthan Royals and bring their team in limelight for next round.

Rahul and Agarwal have their best lesson from yesterday match and now following Rajasthan Royals technic punishing badly to RCB all bowlers look like they will be going to end this match very early and going to enjoy their Super Sunday.
Match was going completely in favour of PBK but suddenly wicket of Rahul change things for RCB as now Run Rate is going down Chahal takes another very important wicket of Pooran, so now things can change very quickly in last 3 overs we have no boundary which is creating more pressure on Agarwal and Markram. From here Agarwal need to take charge and take charge from here because he is already inform and set batsman which can help his team to win if they are unable to handle from here surely this can go to hurt them require rate is already touching 10 per over and this will increase very quickly in next few balls now.
Now requirement is 62 from 6 overs with 8 wickets in hand still achievable for PBK.

What an insane win from RR. Winning with having 15 balls in hand is very special. Also a very good knock from Jaiswal. He Scoring 50 from only 21 balls. Shivam Dube also played a good knock earlier in the innings and scored 64 off of 42 balls. The later part of the group stage would be very interesting, who would qualify? Very excited about the following matches.

Jaiswal just blew away the bowlers. After 7 overs, RR were like 100 and the required run rate had dropped to 6 runs per over by then. The initial powerplay decided the course of the match. For CSK, their opening bowlers conceded too many runs. By the time they brought in Shardul Thakur and got the first wicket, the match was almost over. They could have given a spell to KM Asif in the initial powerplay, rather than persisting with Sam Curran and Josh Hazlewood. Have to say that Dhoni showed poor captaincy.

This was totally unexpected from RR. I was confident that this would be a one sided match after CSK scored 189. RR were able to reach that score with 15 balls left. Jaiswal scored 50 runs in just 21 balls, great batting.
The win against Chennai Super Kings is huge for Rajasthan Royals as they need a win to stay alive in this competition and they won with 15 balls to spare which i did not expect. Kolkata Knight Riders, Punjab Kings, Mumbai Indians are having the same points and they are competing to get qualified. The run rate will be a factor during the later stages and this win with balls to spare will help them.
