IPL: Day 5

With a strike rate of nearly 200, AB De Villiers single handedly lead the Daredevils to a 9 run victory over Super Kings.  This is the first IPL ton this season and i am happy a South African got it 😀

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Super Over. Each team gets one over to bat and the team which scores the most wins. If it’s a tie then the team which scores the most sixes in the match wins.  Picking the Knight Riders to win it cam to the last over and ended in a tie, brining in the Super Over.

IPL: Day 2

 

With the skies opening up on the second day saw the 3rd game against Punjub  and Delphi being delayd.

 

 

The match was shortened to an 12 over game.  Punjub ended on 104/7 for their 12 overs. Daredevils came in and knew they had to get going before the skies open again. The captain Sehwag smashed the ball all over the park when rain came down heavier than there had been all day.

 

When they came back onto the field they needed to get 54 from 6 overs from a revised D/L system. 

Points for me in Superbru 😀 and cricket.com’s Fantasy League.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Due to the heavy rain, the first game was postponed forcing the second game to be postponed also.
It was taking back about 30min, but then one of the palleton’s (floodlights) broke. Putting a section of the field in darkness with an already grey sky. Thus making the game start 1 hour late.

The crowd was not going home and the players were ready for the action.!
Rainy conditions made the first game very uninteresting.  The second one was far from that!  Gibbs and Sharma resulted in a Deccans victory over the Knight Riders.
