IPL-8 Match no.16: At Last, Mumbai Indians Win a Match!

 April 20, 2015   R K Gupta

, , , , , , ,

After four consecutive defeats in IPL 2015, all that the Mumbai Indians had was the nadir of their morale. Even after the toss, Rohit Sharma looked far from convincing, when he uttered some practiced lines in reply to a question of a media person. Therefore, the victory against the Royal Challengers Bangalore on Sunday night […]

Rahane and Watson Star in Royals’ Emphatic Win Over Chennai Super Kings

 April 20, 2015   R K Gupta

, , , , , , ,

In the battle between the two hitherto undefeated sides, Royals proved a decisive superiority over Chennai Super Kings, when the two teams met at Ahmedabad’s Motera Stadium on Sunday afternoon. Packed with great batting power, CSK rightly chose to bat rather than slog in the sweltering summer heat of Western India. Only the other day, […]

Andre Russell’s Late Burst Helps Kolkata Carve out a Victory over Punjab

 April 20, 2015   R K Gupta

, , , , , , ,

Kings XI Punjab failed in their batting yet again. In the 2014 season, Glenn Maxwell had dominated the bowlers of every other side and his explosive batting helped his team hoist huge scores in several matches. That rampaging batting display is clearly missing in IPL’s 8th edition. Though in Saturday’s match against the Kolkata Knight […]

Delhi Draw Decisive Edge From Duminy’s Daredevil Display in IPL’s 13th Match

 April 20, 2015   R K Gupta

, , , , , ,

It was another match that went to the wire. The spectators at the YS Rajasekhara Reddy Stadium in Vishakhapatnam were on their feet, when Sunrisers Hyderabad needed 7 runs from the last two balls of Nathan Coulter-Nile. SRH had Karn Sharma and Praveen Kumar out in the middle to bring them the winning runs, when […]

CSK Pack Too Much Punch Against Hapless Mumbai Despite a Challenging Total

 April 19, 2015   R K Gupta

, , , , , ,

For the second match running, Mumbai Indians batted first after winning the toss. But the script was the same. Their top order collapsed like it did in the previous match. This was the third time that MI’s later order batsmen came to the rescue after the earlier batsmen had brought the innings to a pathetic […]

After a cricket World Cup in Australia and New Zealand during which the performance of the England team was widely criticised, the test match squad hoped to regain some prestige for the much-maligned players when facing West Indies in Antigua. Although England failed to secure a morale boosting victory, the achievements of bowler James Anderson in becoming leading England wicket-taker did offer some welcome distraction for a team unable to dislodge the remaining West Indian batsmen during the final two sessions of the First Test.

Royals Record Fourth Win in a Dramatic Finish in IPL’s Low-Scoring 11th Match

 April 17, 2015   R K Gupta

, , , , , , ,

What looked like a straightforward match for Rajasthan Royals for most part, turned into a late drama and ended in the last-ball finish at Dr YS Rajasekhara Reddy Cricket Stadium in Vishakhapatnam on Thursday. Rajasthan Royals had done everything right after winning the toss. They sent Sunrisers Hyderabad in and restricted them to 127, the […]

IPL Match 10: Scratchy Batting from KXIP Lends Daredevils a Win after 11 Consecutive Losses in IPL

 April 17, 2015   R K Gupta

, , , , , ,

Except Mumbai Indians, the remaining 7 teams have won at least one match this season. Yesterday, it was the turn of Delhi Daredevils, who restricted Kings Eleven Punjab to 165, which wasn’t commensurate with the firepower that the KXIP team is packed with. However, they still had a good foundation in the 14th over with […]

Meandering Mumbai Mauled by Smith after They Commit Hara-Kiri Earlier

 April 15, 2015   R K Gupta

, , , , , , ,

What Steven Smith did to MI bowlers was an event that was a sequel to Mumbai’s own initial blunders and some misfortune. Rohit Sharma and Mumbai’s top-heavy think-tank decided to bat first. In all likelihood, if they had lost the toss, Smith would have asked them to bat first as well. That is a conjecture […]

IPL Match 8: Warner Wins Batting Battle Against Gayle as SRH Edge Out RCB

 April 14, 2015   R K Gupta

, , , , , ,

Any IPL team playing against Royal Challengers Bangalore can come good if they take out Chris Gayle early. The cheap dismissal of the giant West Indian offers the opponents a huge psychological advantage because the guy is capable of wreaking havoc, when he is well-settled. It happened in RCB’s first match against the Kolkata Knight […]
