Hello, Good afternoon to all and welcome to my page to all dear friends here. It will be great match today as we will get second team who will face GT in final, so both team need to give their best to reach final as one team come from defeat and one come by giving defeat. There is a new venue once again so lots of things to discuss this crucial match, so without wasting much time let's start everything in details.
RR was in good form in last match where they played against GT as Buttler back in form which is big plus point for them. Though he played slowly till 15 overs, but we know what ability he has and still he is able to manage 88 runs which is his quality. Samson played his best inning in last match even though it's just of 47 but intent and the way he played which was superb. RR will be happy with Buttler and Samson performance of last match, and they want them to continue in qualifier 2. Though Yashavi Jaiswal was out early but he also in good touch in last few matches, so RR can trust him too in the opening.
RR has still middle order issue as Paddikal looks good at number 4, but then they not look such a strong player although Hetmyer there but not played good inning since he back in team again after break. Parag's form is also not consistent and the big issue from them is that their middle order players are rotating as well as not get much chance for batting. This Ahmedabad pitch is not batting pitch as seen previous match here as it will slow, so I think they need to add Van Der Dussen into the team. RR is doing this big mistake that not giving chance to him since start the tournament.
RR did good batting in previous match but reason behind losing victory is their bowling. Their bowler didn't perform as their skill, and they're doing here one mistake to that not add Kuldeep Sen in playing 11 even though he performed well and took wickets too with good economy. Chahal and Ashwin are wicketless in previous match, and thus they are not able to defend this big total. Ahmedabad's pitch will definitely help them as it's slow unless it change by curator, otherwise it's spinner friendly and low scoring pitch.
Most of the teams did planning to out their main player as they succeed while playing against RCB, but this time RCB's weakness of all times becomes stronger part and Top orders becomes weaker part. Patidar,Lomror, Shahbaz and Dinesh Karthik played crucial role for them in middle order when most of the time their team lost early wickets or in trouble. Karthik once again proved why he was choosing for T20 series against SA as once again did that finisher role so well and one of important batsman for them. RCB is just two-step away from their dream, and thus they must need to show their best in upcoming matches.
RCB bowling looks good in last match even though they gave runs, but most important thing is that they bowl well on good area and according to field. It's not easy to bowl with wet ball while lots of due on the field, but in last match, Hazelwood and Harshal Patel did it and helps in victory of the team. Hasaranga also did good bowling with his googly. Siraj did wonderfully bowl in first spell as he is x-factor though he not took many wickets, but he has pace by it, he can surprise batsman. Maxwell didn't bowl in last match but once again on this slow pitch, Maxi, Shahbaz and Hasaranga will play crucial role for sure. Overall RCB bowling line up is equally good like RR, so it will be good contest.
As it's a first match on this new venue and final also will be play here so don't know how pitch will perform, but we have seen some matches played here as they were low scoring and spinner friendly pitch, I would prefer RR is more favorite but i once again go here with RCB because their batting line up looks stronger compare to RR. I also made Maxwell as captain because he can bat as well bowl too and made Kohli as VC because he is player of big match so hope it will go that way. I will change my final playing 11 once team announce and if any team player not in team. Let hope curator of that pitch made changed in it as hope get some run feast like previous two match. That's it from me for today, and stay tuned for the next post.
