That's printed an awful lot of money at high speed.

Fool. Neither had I, sadly. Hat trick ball comfortably missed by the batsman. Well, uncomfortably missed anyway.

Batting Ohja at 5 they don't deserve to get to 100!

Seeing how much they're struggling, backing Kings was a no brainer

Yep, Kings batting lineup definitely capable of a collapse. Need to post 130 min you would think to put them under any pressure

I was already on KXIP but wish I'd topped up. Question has to be can they get enough runs that they even remotely look like defending it? I'm thinking probably not but you never quite know. Even 130 could be tough if the bowling is spot on and Rashid could be close to unplayable on this.

That's my intention too but I'd like their odds to get pretty low.

You often see when people have been in for a long time on a difficult pitch (50+ balls), they can really explode at the end of the innings, so if Warner is still there it's not inconceivable that he can go nuts
I'm worried about that, yes but there's not all that much else in their batting line up to worry about now, albeit that Ojha has actually started uncharacteristically well.

Looks like smart batting from SRH, let Warner anchor it and hope he can go nuts at the end and tell Ohja to go for it now
Irritating but yes, they've done very well indeed since the two wickets went down. Axar bowling an indifferent over rather than another terrifying one helped them though.
Deck lends to new ball and spin, but when the shine(wd) is gone it's a touch easier, over 150 will be tough against rasher and Nabi, but as it's IPL............

Lots of players could learn from watching Warner run
Yes, he's made the most of a pretty turgid start although Morgan dropping him at the end for 6 has rather massaged his stats.

Laxman says its a match winning total
I'd say it is about half the time! I'd maybe slightly favour SRH but not by much and a bit of Jew could screw them over. I don't think KXIP has a great batting line up, as I kept pointing out last game they played but equally it's not a terrible selection of batsmen. Even Morgan occasionally comes good.

Not that Quick surely?

I've got my losses on innings runs to consider although I could probably also go about level here.
Maxwell seems to be in rather more of a hurry than is really justified. Surely he's good enough that he can display some discrimination about which balls he tries to hit. I suppose his average is 24.5 with SR 157.5 precisely because that isn't how he plays though and I guess he did play a fairly normal set of shots first over.

Only 2 fielders out and Maxwell trying to clear one of them, brainless stuff
He's not the most discerning batsman, is he?
They've utterly marmalised the spinners here for 10 then 19 runs off their first overs, having only been on 22/2 off the first 4 overs. Tempted by a reverse on to SRH now but not all that tempted with Vohra batting so well. Would be nice if he could run an easy second though.

To be fair, he actually looks a bit younger than me (I'm 40) on the field, unlike in his cricinfo profile picture).
Another life. Needs an innings like last game from Axar, which was obviously with no pressure on as always in a losing cause.
They don't like to run the 2s, do they?
limited overs cricket encourages right arm leg break bowlers to go to the googly too often.

The no ball might, just might bring this back to life. It's not actually many more runs.
feels like a record...
big big balls. not sure it was the right choice, but big balls nonetheless.
Even by IPL standards, that was some movie............
