*winner of this match will play final against Mumbai Paladins

Full Team Stats Updated Here...

@Aravind. & @Saroj padhy | @Rudolph

NOTE: Team can have a maximum of 4 Oversea Players... Mark your Captain, Wicket Keeper, and minimum Five Bowlers... Every player in the squad must play at-least one game before Play-off...

 

[RUDI]

We'll go same, same line-up.
@ARKRafay close match.

 

[Ohm]

Great bowling. I'm absolutely pleased that we finally beaten one of the best sides in this league; that also came at a vital point.

 

[Perfect Square]

Oh.. We are out of the tournament...

 

[Aravind.]

No Gayle Strom = No Party & WTH with Malinga.

Ajinkya Rahane
Chris Gayle
Suresh Raina
Robin Uthappa
Eoin Morgan
Suryakumar Yadav
Stuart Binny
Ravichandran Ashwin
Lasith Malinga
Ajantha Mendis
Jasprit Bumrah

Raina is proving he is useful with the ball, so he will be our 6th bowler.
Hard hitting Eoin Morgan will replace Andre Russell.
Stuart Binny is not even touching his carrier strike rate, so Suryakumar Yadav will bat at 6.
Chris Gayle will not take the strike will opening, hope this change will bring out the beast in him.

@Saroj padhy to confirm.

14.1 Yuvraj Singh to Robin Uthappa, 1, 69.23kph, The straight one now. R Uthappa played that with soft hands. The batsmen only take one
14.2 Yuvraj Singh to Chris Gayle, 0, 60.00kph, Not finding much turn off this surface. Well-timed on-drive there. The non-striker calls for a non-existent run. C Gayle rightly sends him back
14.3 Yuvraj Singh to Chris Gayle, 4, 60.00kph, Not finding much turn off this surface. C Gayle plays an extravagant on-drive. Glorious timing. Through wide long-on for four. Imperious
14.4 Yuvraj Singh to Chris Gayle, 2, 60.00kph, That one goes on straight with the arm. Two more to the total
14.5 Yuvraj Singh to Chris Gayle, 1, 69.90kph, C Gayle cover drives but can't time it properly. Single taken
14.6 Yuvraj Singh to Robin Uthappa, 1, 63.67kph, Y Singh gives this one some air. That one goes on straight with the arm. R Uthappa cover drives but can't time it properly. Can't get this past the fielder. One more

Ashish Nehra will start a new spell.
15.1 Ashish Nehra to Robin Uthappa, 2, 129.00kph, A Nehra is struggling to find much pace off this surface and he pitches that one on middle. Crunched through the off side. Well executed late cut. Two runs
15.2 Ashish Nehra to Robin Uthappa, WIDE, This delivery just skims past R Uthappa's pads. Unlucky to be called wide
15.2 Ashish Nehra to Robin Uthappa, 1, 124.81kph, No great pace there from A Nehra. Excellent timing from R Uthappa as he plays a leg glance. Single taken
15.3 Ashish Nehra to Chris Gayle, 0, 127.36kph, This one is military medium from A Nehra. That one goes on straight. C Gayle plays it gently through the leg side. No run
15.4 Ashish Nehra to Chris Gayle, 1, 127.29kph, A Nehra is struggling to find much pace off this surface. Wicket to wicket delivery. C Gayle puts bat to ball but mistimes it. That is a comfortable single
15.5 Ashish Nehra to Robin Uthappa, WIDE, This delivery just skims past R Uthappa's pads. Unlucky to be called wide
15.5 Ashish Nehra to Robin Uthappa, 6, 127.30kph, This one is military medium from A Nehra. Spanked through the leg side. Great leg glance. Fielder is underneath it but the ball sails over his head. SIX

Steven Finn will start a new spell.
16.1 Steven Finn to Robin Uthappa, OUT, 135.61kph, S Finn flings this through at decent pace. Short and straight. R Uthappa played that with soft hands. Oh dear, a lapse of concentration there by the batsman and it is an easy catch for Y Singh

    Robin Uthappa  c Y Singh b S Finn  15 (15m 12b 0x4 1x6)  SR: 125.00

The new batsman is Eoin Morgan.

16.3 Steven Finn to Eoin Morgan, 1lb, 135.25kph, S Finn is working up a decent pace here and he pitches that one on middle. That is an ungainly shot - E Morgan is lucky not to have edged that. One more to the total
16.4 Steven Finn to Chris Gayle, 6, 134.99kph, C Gayle swats this one. Six runs! Fantastic batting
16.5 Steven Finn to Chris Gayle, 1, 140.35kph, S Finn is working up a good head of steam here. Short length outside off stump. Well-timed drive there. Can't get this past the fielder. One more
16.6 Steven Finn to Eoin Morgan, 4, 135.93kph, S Finn flings this through at decent pace and he hits a short length outside off. That sped away like a tracer bullet. Fantastic cover drive. Very classy from E Morgan - no stopping this one

* Not the best of outings from S Finn. He'll want to forget this in a hurry.
* Steven Finn  1 / 44  in 4.0 overs, 0 maidens

17.4 Ashish Nehra to Chris Gayle, 2, 128.38kph, A Nehra pushes this through at no great pace. That continues on straight. C Gayle plays an extravagant late cut. Glorious timing. The initial call is two - the batsmen make it quite easily in the end
