IPL 2023

This match is so boring and one sided now that they have started telecasting the MI - RCB match toss.

[meninblue]

RCB win toss and ask MI to bat first.

MI - Tim David, Cameron Green, Jofra Archer, Jason Behrendorf.


RCB - Faf, Glenn Maxwell, RMichael Bracewell and Reece Topley.

Ishan strikes two fours in the first over.

MI 11/0.

I hope Cameron green might bats higher in the batting order.

Siraj dismisses Ishan. Early wicket for RCB.

Good to see Cameron bat higher at one down.

Good to see Cameron bat higher at one down.

Lasted only 4 balls.

But i like this strategy from MI to use a hitter in Power Play. RR tried Jos Buttler as opener and he changed RR batting innings. Cameron isn't in the same league yet as batsman, but he has batted in top 3 for Australia i guess and MI also needs someone to take attack to opposition in power play.

Little bit of movement and Talent edges to the keeper.

Akash Deep takes the wicket of Rohit Sharma. MI 3 down

[meninblue]

Reece Topley off the field injured trying to save runs with a dive.

Tilak Varma has been very impressive inspite of MI being in awful position when he came to bat. Tim David is yet to bat. MI should look to bat full 20 overs to give bowlers something to bowl at.

I've just come in and looked at the scorecard...... what on earth is Rohit playing at? 1 run off 10 balls. If everyone else in his team did the same, MI would end up scoring 12 for the innings.

and this is not the first time either, it feels to me as though he's been doing this for a while. Time to put his big boy pants on, accept that he isn't the right man to open anymore and slide down the order. 1 off 10 balls.... hopeless! If Mumbai lose their first match, that will have been where they lost it

in happier news, my boy Yuzi starts his campaign with a 4 fer for practically nothing

MI fans have been wondering the same thing for many years. Inspite of him having pasted international level bowlers in WC , he struggles to make even top 3 run scorer for MI inspite of opening. Total waste if he cannot score 400+ even in IPL season even though he comes in as opener. Better let Ishan and SKY open with Cameron green at 3 if he cannot score good number of runs.

what an innings by Tilak Varma. 84 from 46 balls. Wonderful given the way MI was struggling. Faf must be feeling worried that MI scored 171 from that position. Now even MI has a chance to win this.

[meninblue]

58/0 in 7 overs. Faf and Virat have put on a good partnership to chase this target.

[meninblue]

CSK openers are having fun in powerplay.

79/0 in 6 overs.

Cannot understand why captains do no give their best pace bowler first over. Mark bowled the 6th one.
