Hazelwood and Siraj will be big danger for Butler 

[Ankit_sharma03]

Hasarnga has already owned Samson

This is Prasidhs favourite hunting ground, prasidh will eat them alive, just wait.

Too close to call! One good performance can make a difference

• i think they ll drop Mccoy , motera has longer boundaries where bowlers who bowl cutter are very effective . Kuldeep sen strength is hard length which doesnt bother kohli n faf one bit 
• If Faf n Kohli sees off boult threat then they wont have much trouble specially on longer grounds their running comes into play . Faf will play that pressure knock he mostly does 
• Butler has a huge threat in Hazelwood n Siraj who gets the ball back in sharply
• Samson already has issues against hasaranga that to big one
• Their was a time Maxi was yuzi's bunny but post developing that switch hit everything changed
• RR problem isnt just death bowling its also 6th bowler - thats where DK n Maxi become very dangerous . If you observe DK actually has every bowler in his zone apart from chahal but do they save him for death overs. 
• Even if RR somehow manage to get rid of RCB top order they dont have finishing skills in bowling unless it jags around like crazy 

 

I think RCB is winning it 

Same points as i mentioned in other thread

Would love to see how the surface plays out. If it favors turn game on .

[kepler37b]

The result depends on Kohli. If he stays less than 5 balls, RCB win. If he stays more than 20 balls, RCB will loose.

One team has a slightly better death bowling due to Harshal. hazlewood on a good day can be handy as well in death overs. Other team has array of hittable bowlers in death overs.

that team also have a lot of bowling options- hazelwood, siraj, harshal, hasaranga, shahbaz, Maxi, lomror 

RR 6th option is parag unless they play neesham 

[Ankit_sharma03]

Sq boundaries are more then 75m so Chahal, Harshal, Mccoy, Neesham can play a big role . 

Prasidh if bowls at a correct length will also be very handy , like how he got pant out on a cutter bouncer in wankhade

RR just need to do what they did at Pune against RCB.

[Lone Wolf]

RR has defended 140 odd vs RCB earlier so they need to keep faith in their superior attack.  Motera has some bounce as was seen in ODIs vs WI.

RR badly needs Hetmeyer to click though.  Likes of Parag haven't been doing enough fir them at the death

More or less evenly matched sides: 

 

Batting
Faf < Buttler

Kohli = Jaiswal

Patidar = Samson

Maxwell > Paddikal

DK = Hetmyer 

Shahbaz = Parag 

Lomror = Ashwin 

 

Bowling 

Hazlewood = Boult

Siraj = Prasidh 

Harshal > McCoy/Neesham/Kuldeep S

Hasaranga = Yuzi

Shahbaz < Ashwin 

Maxwell

My intuition says, RCB gonna win. IPL needs “Jazba, Junoon etc” in the finals… which Kohli brings in. Ian foreseeing Kohli jumping around showing fake bravado in the finals… Might try to unsettle HaPa…
