IPL 2023

Cameron into the attack. Took a wicket in last match for MI but hasn't been good with the ball. Still any wickets from him are welcome.

[meninblue]

Six. Can't believe Ajinkya has scored 43 from 16 balls.

[meninblue]

19 balls 52* by Ajinkya

[meninblue]

Finally Ajinkya is out, but due to his innings CSK are now chasing an easy run to ball ratio.

[meninblue]

Another Mumbaite Shivam Dube comes to bat. This is good captaincy by Dhoni.

[meninblue]

There is not much in Cameron Green's run up , but he bowls 140 kph even with that sort of run up.

I usually go heavily on India players for the IPL FL, but I figured QdK would be a sure fire starter every time.

I also figured that in the absence of Bumrah, Jofra Archers place in the side was assured because Mumbai are not otherwise blessed with fast bowlers. It was Bumrah's injury that prompted me to select Archer in my FL side

how wrong I was

Quinton will make playing 11 next match in place of Marcus Stoinis.

Jofra Archer is injured, So is Ben Stokes and Moeen Ali. Jofra Archer too is sure starter if he recovers from injury.

Mumbai will have Archer and Bumrah both fit next year. Certainly a quality spinner is required and that is Mumbai's biggest weakness imo as far as whole squad is concerned.

[meninblue]

Out. Wicket for MI but won't bother CSK much as they need 23 from 25 balls with 7 wickets intact.

oh crikey... that didn't take long

perhaps it was a Harry Kane eyelash injury

[meninblue]

Easy win in chase as CSK win by 7 wickets and 11 balls to spare.

Rohit did say during toss that it was a minor injury but they rested Jofra just to take more precaution. So he should be back in next match.

[Durhamfootman]

I hope so, because Mumbai are 2 matches into the campaign and Jofra hasn't scored a blooming FL point yet

and Hasaranga had better be on the plane right now, because he's supposed to be available for Bangalore from match 3 on Monday

What with QdK and Rabada still missing in action, I'm miles behind you atm

[meninblue]

Gujarat win the toss and opt to bat first. Hardik Pandya is not well. Rashid Khan captaining GT team.

Lockie replaces Tim Southee .
