Seeing Pandey hitting a 6 off the last ball of the SRH innings to force a super over was amazing. Glad MI won but hats off to SRH for a great performance. If they had Warner it could have been a very different story given how close it was without him.

Ronnie @ Cloudbet

Yes obviously IF Hyderabad had Warner we can see another scenario IMO. 162 runs is not a big amount for SRH. But unfortunately they lost Warner on the game and the game result also changed yesterday.

When I open my phone for live streaming the match in the last moment and saw that SRH need 7 runs in 1 ball. And see an amazing job by Manish Pandey. After that gave thanks to GOD for making a chance to see a super over. But the super over was not like my mind.

I'm not really sure about today's game, both teams have had some terrible form but both will also be scrambling for points to try and draw level with SRH for the 4th playoff spot.

One thing I'm looking forward to is the batting head to head between Rahul and Russell if they both start (getting a little confused about who's already left for the World Cup).

- Andre Dwayne Russell total: Over 25.5 (1.92)
- Total sixes: Over 13.5 (1.90)
- Team with highest score at 1st dismissal: Kings Xi Punjab (1.72)

Going for the over on total sixes today as there's some big hitters in the field

KKR are the better option here. Punjab like most of their IPLs is in a poor form. While KKR has shown some impressive performance.
Though Punjab would have the home advantage, the game would be an easy win for knight riders.

[sujonali1819]

Hello everybody what do you think about KKR now? Still have any chance to be listed on the top 4 Qualifiers list?  If yes then please explain with little bit of information. Thanks

Do you think you will be lucky like you are for Quinton de Kock.

I am having this feeling today that I want to gamble, I know something is saying me that don't coz you (me) will lose but not sure if I can have that control today. :-P

Russell is probably one of my favourite players in the IPL, so I always get over confident with him 

If you feel like a cheeky bet you can always take advantage of our new minimum stakes, all the lines I listed have a minimum of 0.0000001 BTC (€0.00051) so I don't feel as bad betting on wild odds

KKR is in a strong position currently after their recent win while Punjab is losing games left and right which is why I bet on KKR all the way. I feel that they can win comfortably primarily thanks to their batsmen even though their balling lineup is performing badly.

You are asking me to take stress for nothing :-P

By the way, I already placed a 3 fold for Ireland Vs England (odd 1.02 LOL) combined with two other football matches which I think should favor my bet although my luck don't walk with me more often :-D

I also think KKR will win this match however nothing is going as expected in this IPL for me.

This Pooran guy playing brilliantly. I love how he hits those first 2 flat sixes without any footwork. 3rd six was kinda like a aerial shot tho.

Usually Mohali's wicket is considered good for batting but Kings's openers failed to score today but still they can fancy their chance to get close to 180 Mark. What do you guys think about final score according to current scenario?

Kings XI : 8.3 overs - 71/2 wickets so far.

Edit 1: Part timer Rana strikes, got the dangerous looking fish Pooran

Kings XI : 11 overs - 92/3

[AB de Royse777]

Kings XI : 8.3 overs - 71/2 wickets so far.

Now it's 91 for two after 10.3 overs. KXIP recovered well and if they keep going on this pace then 180+ will not be that hard.

Edit: They just lost Pooran. However I think 180+ is still possible if they do not lose track.

Well Punjab not helping themselves, they keep doing self goal, loosing wicket whenever batsman shifting gears

Mayank Runout.....

Still 6 overs to go and I think they can bag 60 more runs if they are not losing couple of more wickets in next 2 overs.

Punjab need only one big over of 20+ runs, which is very much possible in this format.

@Royse IPL thread about to reach 1000 comments mark soon.

You were bang on. Curran played brilliantly to take them to 183 which KKR could easily chase if their batsmen play responsibly. The top bowlers of Punjab(R and M Ashwin) will try and chip away their wickets.

Russell vs the Ashwin duo. This will be fun to watch.

Curren is really improved a lot in his batting. He managed to score 22 runs from the last over. Anyway, the target should not be that hard for KKR and I would like to see Russell play his game.

I have enjoyed Jonny Bairstow, Russell, Dhoni's batting in this IPL.

[sujonali1819]

Finally good job by Sam Curran for Punjab. Mainly last over was fantastic. At last Punjab able to achieve 183 runs. And now I think winning chance is fifty fifty. If KKR will loss wicket early then can lost the match.

As predicted, it's an easy win for Kolkata Knight Riders. Punjab never were in a competition.
With the win of Knight Riders, the formation of top 4 is going to be even more difficult to predict specially for the fourth place.

KKR had an easy win as expected. I think KXIP's journey is officially end? Not sure about the calculation how it's working.

Punjab is out of the tournament. Chennai Super Kings, Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians had already secured their position in top 4. The 4th place is now a competition between Rajisthan Royals, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Kolkata Knight Rider.

True. Among RR, SRH and KKR, RR have the lowest chances while SRH and KKR have the highest chances. It all comes down to whether SRH and KKR will be able to win their final matches or not.

If SRH wins against RCB, they take the 4th spot. KKR would have to win and their NRR needs to cross the SRH NRR which is highly unlikely.

KKR has played an amazing game today and has beaten the Punjab by 7 wickets. Everybody in the top order has fired runs and this has helped the team to win the match easily.  Dinesh Karthik was in aggressive mood today and was shouting at the players during the strategic time out which might have boosted the team players

Yeah..... it was a very easy match for KKR and they won with 2 overs remaining. From the start itself, I thought that KXIP was in trouble after Gayle and Rahul got out early. But the middle order (Mayank Agarwal, Nicholas Pooran and Sam Curran) batted very sensibly. In the end the runs were not enough, with such a weak bowling attack.
