zen Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 (edited) The Battle of the Royals at Mumbai At one corner is the team in red (not just its dress) hot form, RCB, and at the other, a team that has been plagued by injuries to its key players but still doing the best with the resources available ... For RCB, Maxwell, ABDV, Harshal, Siraj and Jamieson have been brilliant so far. Maxwell & ABDV even helped their team go past 200 at Chennai! What more can you ask? ... For RR, it has been musical chairs with someone or the other stepping up in a game. There is no formula here (for those with simple minds preferring things to have recognizable patterns, it can be confusing) but a random phenomenon where a Samson can hit a 100, a Buttler can smash tons of 6s, a Morris can man handle bowlers, a Unadkat can pick up wkts, a Fizz can become a wiz, and so on ... Therefore, on paper, RCB would start as the favorite. On the field, however, its is more about which wild wild west turns up: If the wild wild west wakes up on the right side of the bed, you may see the following images from the other team (RCB): Get ready for a wild ride. Behold the team that shoots first and talks later. Get wild with the wild wild west: Every game is a shaandaar party for the wild ones! Sit back and enjoy the game !!!!!!!!!!!!! Other odds that the wild wild west will fight is that @Global.Baba has picked it over RCB: Cricinfo Preview PS Poll added ... Poll closes at the start of the game at 10 AM EST Edited April 22, 2021 by zen velu, Global.Baba, New guy and 3 others 2 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I6MTW Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 This depends on who is batting first. If RCB bat first, they have a chance to score 220+ provided AB and Maxwell fire. If not , anything less than 200 is easily chaseable here. Hell, I'm not sure if RCB can even defend 220, their bowling attack so far has been benefiting from the Chennai pitch. This is the first time they are bowling on a flat track. I expect them to go for runs. If RCB bats second, I expect them to concede 200+ on this track, and falter chasing it. RCB are due for a loss. My Prediction: RR in a comfortable win. nevada 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone Wolf Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 (edited) Expecting some thrashing for Jamieson tonight. RR a bit under strength due to players leaving to injuries & other factors. Finn Allen might play tonight for RCB so watch out. Edited April 22, 2021 by Lone Wolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zen Posted April 22, 2021 Author Share Posted April 22, 2021 Not a bad toss to lose as RR can bat w/o the RRR pressure Dube still persisted, so hopefully, he will make the most of this opportunity Gopal in, which could be turn out to be a big gamble if dew kicks in. Not a fan of going purely by "matchups" without looking into the form of a player and playing conditions. If he can somehow manage to get wkts, credit to him (RR may need to use him early if gets dewy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coffee_rules Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 Great OP, @zen Royal Challengers Bangalore: 1 Virat Kohli (capt), 2 Devdutt Padikkal, 3 Shahbaz Ahmed, 4 Glenn Maxwell, 5 AB de Villiers (wk), 6 Kyle Jamieson, 7 Washington Sundar, 8 Harshal Patel, 9 Kane Richardson, 10 Mohammed Siraj, 11 Yuzvendra Chahal Rajasthan Royals: 1 Jos Buttler, 2 Manan Vohra, 3 Sanju Samson (capt & wk), 4 Shivam Dube, 5 David Miller, 6 Riyan Parag, 7 Rahul Tewatia, 8 Chris Morris, 9 Shreyas Gopal, 10 Chetan Sakariya, 11 Mustafizur Rahman RCB chose to field? Why they could have set 220 and demlosihed RR. I guess they are in benevolent mood to share some points , MI ishtyle! No Jaydev! Why do RCB carry people like Shahbaz at the top, he is clearly not set any pitch on fire! Kyle Jamieson and Kane Richarson.
