Indian Premier League 2023 March 31- May 28

[NYRB]

RR probably need more runs so I dont mind the sub.

At 67/4 after 9.0 overs for RR, they need every run they can get.

Gujarat well on top here.

 

[NYRB]

RR bowled out inside 20 overs for 118. That was a clinical performance from Gujarat tonight

[NYRB]

Interesting finish to game 52 last night. Bowler overstepped bowling a no-ball on the last ball, which in turn cost Rajasthan the game.

Standings are tight heading into Monday night cricket, and with teams having 2-3 games of the regular season remaining.

KKR v Punjab Kings XI has a real meaning tonight, with the winner moving up to 3rd outright.

 

[Around the Wicket]

Plenty of roads this season, heap of 200+ scores, too flat imo.

 

[NYRB]

With the batting team requiring 5 off the last ball to win, it’s criminal of the bowler to be bowling a no ball. No excuses at all.

Rajasthan deserve what they get.

 

[NYRB]

Last nights game was right up there in terms of record books.

 

[NYRB]

2 of those 4 games have been done in IPL 2023

How the hell can anyone get invested in this. I’ve just watched 10 minutes of it and I’m ready to abandon cricket altogether

 

[NYRB]

3 x 200+ scores batting 1st at Eden Gardens in this seasons IPL. One senses Kings XI are going to need something big to defend here.

 

[NYRB]

How the hell can anyone get invested in this. I’ve just watched 10 minutes of it and I’m ready to abandon cricket altogether

Your man Andre Russell is playing

 

[NYRB]

Kings XI Punjab bring up their 50 in exactly 5.0 overs .

 

[NYRB]

I reckon that Livingstone LBW looked out on 1st inspection but turned out to be a bit closer than I thought.

 

[NYRB]

Howie talking in glowing terms of Kolkata.

Might be a destination to visit soon.

 

[NYRB]

Good finish there in the Powerplay and its 58/3 off the initial 6.0 overs.


Kings XI need to be a bit more careful next 5-6 overs here.

 

[NYRB]

Kings XI post 179 and one feels at the change of innings this is fairly even game.

Make soon to see how KKR go in the chase.

 

[NYRB]

KKR a side that are top heavy on spin bowlers. But spin bowlers that bowl relatively well to the conditions. I expect Kings XI to activate their impact sub with a spin bowler.

 

[NYRB]

As expected KKR have activated their impact Sub on Jason Roy.

 

[NYRB]

Nathan Ellis activated as an Impact Sub.

 

[NYRB]

20 off Sam Currans 3rd over and its advantage KKR going to the last over.


Dre Russ with 3 sixes in the 19th over.

 

[NYRB]

surely we couldnt get a super over could we?
