IPL 2019
Match 22: KXIP Vs SRH Post Analysis
Steady Chase from Kings XI makes their win comfort
After a small gap a match held at Mohali between the home boys Kings XI Punjab and Sunrisers Hyderabad. Last match Sunrisers lost against Mumbai in chasing the targetted 139 runs. They had a chance to recharge their skills in this match. But again Sunrisers faced a deafeat at mohali. Eventhough they scored a competitive figure of 150 runs at the end of 20 overs, Ashwin and Co chased it without hesitation and make their position strong in the points table.
After the toss SRH batted first with inform batsmen Warner and Bairstow. Once again Bairstow lost his wicket quickly for 1 run by facing 6 balls. This put pressure over SRH batsmen warner and Vijay shankar, they were in mind the same thing should not happened as like the previous match. So both started building partnership and trying not to lose wickets. Moreover Mujeeb and Ashwin spinned the ball exteme well. They both showed lot of variations in length. At 11th over ashwin got Vijay shankar and broke the pair. Sunrisers didnt made any change in the middle order. But they promoted Nabi at 4, it didnt work perfectly. Punjab skipper striked once again and run out Nabi. Asusual SRH middle order weakness exposed and other end Warner struggled and managed to cross 50 runs. Finally at the end of 20th over Sunrisers scored 150 runs for 4 wickets. Deepak hooda scored some quick runs for his team 14 runs from 3 balls.
Kings XI started the chase with Rahul and Gayle, still Gayle didnt return to his form after a six and boundary he went to pavilion in rashid khan over. Then rahul and mayank make a bond, they keep on rotating strike. Even rahul didnt pick the ball at middle of the bat. But mayank picked well and hitting continuously. Suddenly at 18th over Sandeep Sharma made a twist by picking the wickets of Mayank and Miller in the same over. But its too late Kings have already reached 138 runs just a short of 13 runs to win. Another end rahul takes Kings XI Punjab to reach home safely. Once again the same strategy to keep wickets failed, which was already practised by Rajasthan against Kolkata. The same strategy SRH used and lost one more match. This season IPL was ruling by spinners i think in all the matches spinners controlling runs. Most of the teams playing with atleast 2 expertise spinners except RCB. Still Kohli didnt realize that.
