IPL 2023

[Durhamfootman]

I know everybody goes on about big hitting, but these low total affairs are so often the most exciting matches for the punters

LSG choke

[Durhamfootman]

make that 4 wickets in 4 balls... another run out

Lucknow fallen apart

[Durhamfootman]

sometimes the brain goes with 12 needed off the last over

2 hole outs (perhaps) and 2 scramble brained run outs. Any other part of the match and Lucknow would probably score close to (or reach) the 12 required instead of the 4-4 they ended up with

All about composure, really

[meninblue]

Arjun Tendulkar to bowl the first over. He has been good with his line and length in previous matches.

[meninblue]

5 from the first over. Couple of wides in that though. Arjun needs to bowl better in the second one.

[meninblue]

Jason Behrendorf to bowl the 2nd. Two left armers for MI.

[meninblue]

Decent over by Jason as well. Good fielding to support his over.

[meninblue]

Out Cameron Green takes wicket of Matther Short. Caught easily by Piyush.

Punjab 18/1 in 2.4 overs.

[meninblue]

Jofra bowls the 1st delivery at 142.8 kph.

[meninblue]

10 runs from Jofra's first over. Bowled at good pace as if he did not return from any injury.

[Durhamfootman]

Jofra bowling...... am I in dreamland?

if he scores a FL point, I'll know I really am dreaming

[meninblue]

58/1 for Punjab in powerplay.

Bowled a good over. That six ball could have been been better. That bouncer was not close to the body which allowed batsman to use his pace and guide it over third man for six.

[meninblue]

88/4 in 11 overs. Punjab too have a long batting lineup so one good partnership and they can give bowlers a good total to defend.
