Ireland had their moments in this test match. In both innings, they managed to get a few quick Pakistani top order wickets. A more experienced team may have been able to sustain the pressure and make inroads into the match. They definitely look more at ease in tests compared to Bangladesh in their initial test matches.

Ireland has some great players in the shorter format and they need to have exposure in test to develop a strong team, Bangladesh had a really bad team for many years which were not even competitive in international cricket for years, but now they have a fairly strong line up, they are really strong at home as they have some great spinners and in the coming years will dominate outside the continent too, to be the best team they need to have really good bowler who are able to pick twenty wickets and if they can find some good talents they will be competitive.

Ireland had a pretty good test match debut as they had their moments in this test match and really took the fight up to Pakistan but just couldn't get that 200 run lead that might of seen them win the match or at least draw. I must give credit to Pakistan for fighting back after losing those early wickets which put them under a lot of pressure. Lucky they had Imam-ul-Haq and Babar Azam who batted well to give them the win. I can't see Pakistan doing to good against England but hopefully they can put up a fight and make it a good test match series.

What a massive victory for kkr where rr is still isn't really in a bad spot winning this would have been really important for them but again props to kkr they are really close for qualifying all they have to do now is win the next match against srh which won't be easy for them but they have to win else mi might steal their spot

Yaa it a was a very fighting performance from the Ireland in their first ever international test match and against a very good team.Specially kevin o Brian made a brilliant hundred.Yes if they could got a lead of 200 then they could have won as well..but none the less good fight from them

Personally, I has always wanted RCB to win IPL. They even got some exceptional players but I think there is lack of coordination among the players. You can always feel that if you watch their performance on the filed. Even with so many big names, they always disappoint me. Regarding matches being fixed, it has nothing to do with their current salary.

Except Kohli and ABD, other players are letting down the team. Virat Kohli should support & motivate his team mates; he should bring out the best performances from his team members. There are few wrong decisions taken by the captain kohli and he should avoid it in the future.

Now the team performance improved last 2 games they played superbly especially last game. there run rate is positive so if they win remaining games still they have a chance to qualify playoffs, i want to see them in finals.

Mumbai Indians are playing really well...scoring fast runs but on the same time loosing quick wickets as well...there are now 154/6 in 16 overs and pollard played a brilliant knock in his comeback match scoring fifty of just 23 balls..i think mumbai will reach close to 190

MI finally made 186 runs in their 20 overs. After long time Pollard made some runs and smashed a 23 ball fifty to help Mumbai bowlers to defend this score. If Punjab has to win this match top 3 batsman someone has to make quick 50 to help the team achieve this target.

Yeah winning this match is important for either of the teams though if mi losses this there chance for qualifying is over as punjab and kkr will have 14 points and they will have 1 match left but will have only 10 points so it's impossible for them to qualify , till now punjab has been playing good it's going to be a interesting match

[juliepower]

The match between Mumbai Indians and Kings eleven punjab is looking very very interesting right now...60 runs needed in the last 30 balls..and punjab has only lost 1 wicket so far...anything can happen right now but i am backing punjab to win

KL rahul has won the orange cap but tought luck for him because he missed his century and also was not able to get punjab over the line as well.I think they left it for too late and they should have been aggressive from 10th over

Punjab had a very good chance to progress in to the play-offs, but they wasted the opportunity. For the past 3-4 matches, their form has been horrible. At this point, I was 90% sure that KXIP was going to win. Yet, they lost the match as a result of reckless shot selection.

Yes punjab lose 4 matches back to back i think and that pushed them back...if the first half of the tournament they were doing very well and looked that they could easily reached playoffs...but no one performed in their team leaving rahul..

Tell me again IPL matches can't be rigged last night match is a clear example of that. Punjab were sure shot winners with just one wicket, 60 runs and 30  balls to go but no it's IPL throw the money around and game will change. I'm not surprised by the outcome as I have previously stated matches in IPL seem heavily rigged and better not to play in them.

You are mistaken broo..first of all 60 runs in 30 balls is not easy to score and two of those overs were bowled by bumrah who is the best limited overs bowler right now and that made very difficult for the punjab to score those runs.Credit must be given to the mumbai indians bowlers.

[olib123]

Very good comeback in this IPL by the teams like mumbai indians and royal challengers banglore while punjab did a very bad job in the last stage of this tournament...feel sad for KL rahul who has the orange cap now...dont think punjab will be able to qualify from here now

RCB manage to stay in contention in the IPL by the skin of their teeth. Their score of 218 was a strong one, with De Villiers scoring 69 of just 39 balls. But Sunrisers gave a strong performance, with Williamson playing a captain’s knock and scoring 81. Sunrisers came within 14 runs of the target.

Even though HSR put up good fight, IMO, opening batsmen of Hyderabad Sunrisers should have played with a better strike rate.

Next IPL match will be played between Delhi Daredevils and Chennai Super Kings tomorrow in Delhi. After that, next day, RCB will be playing against RR in Jaipur. RCB vs. RR is surely gonna be something interesting to watch.

The high target and excellent bowling in death overs made RCB to win this match, it's good to see still they have a chance to qualify for semifinals.

CSK vs DD, CSk opt to bowl first and DD lost 4 wickets for 94 runs. I think they can't make a big score with remaining 6 overs, according to me CSK will win this match.
