Sunrisers' seamers snuff out Knight Riders

An aggregate had been effectively guarded in three out of five matches on moderate Feroz Shah Kotla surfaces this season. There was no motivation behind why Sunrisers Hyderabad, with one of the best rocking the bowling alley assaults in the opposition in spite of Ashish Nehra's nonappearance, couldn't protect 163 in a knockout amusement. Kolkata Knight Riders, the two-time champions, had won six out of their eight amusements pursuing. This was an even challenge on a pitch genuinely like the ones at Eden Gardens. Be that as it may, taught knocking down some pins and remarkable handling by Sunrisers wrecked Knight Riders and by goodness of the 22-run win, Sunrisers have set up a conflict with Gujarat Lions in the second qualifier in Delhi on Friday.
It wasn't a night for hyper six-hitting yet Yuvraj Singh's 30-ball 44 had every one of the components that made him a dreaded restricted overs batsman quite a long time ago. However the exertion that underlined his significance on Wednesday was an immediate hit from in reverse point to release Colin Munro early and actuate alarm among the Knight Riders.
It likewise lifted a unit that connected weight cordiality David Warner's prudent playing changes to raise the asking rate. Bhuvneshwar Kumar pulled off a shocking catch at profound midwicket to release the in-structure Yusuf Pathan to further imprint Knight Riders. At 69 for 4 in the eleventh over, they were solidly behind in the amusement.
A down to business challenge woke up as Manish Pandey and Suryakumar Yadav counterpunched, their 46-run stand, bound with strangeness, brought on a couple vacillates in the Sunrisers camp, yet there was dependably the threat of them dying in the mission for the huge hits. Suryakumar, who was reprieved in the fifteenth over by Mustafizur Rahman at third man, miscued a trudge to Shikhar Dhawan in the following over to leave Knight Riders requiring 47 off 24.
Warner summoned his trump card Mustafizur for the first of his two remaining overs, and he reacted by yielding only eight. With no alternative yet to search for fast runs, Pandey continued swinging, one of which discovered Deepak Hooda at long-on. Bhuvneshwar, who completed with 3 for 19, took after the release by skewering in yorkers and full-length conveyances which the batsmen couldn't get underneath. It was lessened to a round of hit-and-miss from that point on, much like it was in the primary half when Yusuf Pathan and Morne Morkel had Sunrisers, who were sent in, battling for early energy.
Dhawan's initial wicket constrained Warner to tread mindfully. He scored his first limit off his tenth conveyance, yet his strategies digressed from the standard thing. Rather than strong hits, he depended on the drive and touching behind the wicket. He was reprieved on 10 when Yusuf put down a troublesome chance off his own rocking the bowling alley, however he would just go ahead to include 18 more. Henriques completed with 31 off 21 and went ahead to get two wickets also.
By pressing three extra overs from Yusuf in the Powerplay, Gambhir guaranteed he had control over the center overs. His bowlers likewise constrained Warner's off-side play by adhering to tight lines. The initial six was hit by Henriques, when he pulled Yusuf towards profound midwicket to flag Sunrisers' turn; the initial six overs, four of which were knocked down some pins by the spinners, delivered 43.
Left-arm wristspinner Kuldeep Yadav, presented in the eighth over, was difficult to pick. And also Warner and Henriques did to turn strike, the pair discovered limit hitting troublesome, as a three-over period after the initial six brought only one four. Kuldeep abused the weight to daze Sunrisers with a twofold strike. Subsequent to taking a skier off his own particular knocking down some pins to send Henriques back, he clean rocked the bowling alley Warner with a wrong' un that beat his trudge clear. At 71 for 3 with 10 overs left, Sunrisers needed to begin anew.
Yuvraj exited to a slip and senseless point, and was put through an examination by the wily Narine. He could dismantle Kuldeep however and one of his two hurled hits was soaks with his old swagger. He hustled to 18 off 12. When he begins off in that design, particularly on a ground with short limits, it focuses to inauspicious signs.
Hooda was unflinching by the complain at the flip side; profound midwicket being his favored zone. He trudged two sublimely coordinated sixes, however his pursue out a mistake with Yuvraj in the sixteenth over - Kuldeep affected an immediate hit at the bowler's end from mid-off - slowed down Sunrisers' once more.
By then, Yuvraj was in an antagonistic state of mind as he picked three leg-side limits before a planned scoop against Jason Holder brought about the smoothing of his center stump. Bipul Sharma smacking Morkel for two sixes in the last over gave them energy going into the break, which they rode on to guarantee IPL 2016 will have another champion.


Sunrisers Hyderabad 162 for 8 (Yuvraj 44, Kuldeep 3-35) beat Kolkata Knight Riders 140 for 8 (Pandey 36, Bhuvneshwar 3-19) beat by 22 runs

Delhi Daredevils vs Rising Pune Supergiants, 49th Match

Having lost three of their last five matches, Delhi Daredevils are wobbling at a bad time. That one of them came against Mumbai Indians, a rival in the race for playoff berths, will add to their jitters as they approach their final three league games. Sunday's events showed the Daredevils batting line-up is still raw and their hitherto reliable spinners can also lose the plot.

Two more wins should seal their progress; there can't be many better incentives to revert to their best XI and rediscover their early-season gumption. 
Rising Pune Supergiants, on the other hand, have very little riding on them. They were the first team to crash out of the playoff race, and can only hope to be party-poopers now. That could mean anything from left-field selections and out-of-the-box tactics to fearless cricket and uncluttered minds. All that brings a certain unpredictability, for which Daredevils must be prepared.

Weather: A high of 31 degree Celsius with humidity between 79-83%. Thunderstorms have been predicted. The pitches at Visakhapatnam have generally played on the slower side, which is expected to be the case for the game on Tuesday as well.

Pakistan vs. Australia 2016: Match Time and Prediction

With one semifinal place already taken by New Zealand and India closing in on the other, Friday’s World Twenty20 contest between Pakistan and Australia is almost do-or-die. For Pakistan, in what will be their final game of Group 2, a win is the very least that is required to keep their slim hopes alive. For Australia, a defeat wouldn’t spell the end, but it would make things very complicated indeed going into their final match two days later against India.
Prediction: Both teams have had their problems thus far, making it difficult to make any hard and fast predictions. However, while they can never be written off, Pakistan’s problems appear far more fundamental. For Australia, the talent, especially with the bat, is there, it is in large part a matter of finding the right blend. They should be good enough to see off Pakistan.

Sir Donald Bradman

Sir Donald George "Don" Bradman,  AC (27 August 1908 – 25 February 2001), often referred to as "The Don", was an Australian crickter, widely acknowledged as the greatest Test batsman of all time. Bradman's career test bating average of 99.94 is often cited as the greatest achievement by any sportsman in any major sport.

 Sir Donald Bradman of Australia was, beyond any argument, the greatest batsman who ever lived and the greatest cricketer of the 20th century. Only WG Grace, in the formative years of the game, even remotely matched his status as a player. And The Don lived on into the 21st century, more than half a century after he retired. In that time, his reputation not merely as a player but as an administrator, selector, sage and cricketing statesman only increased. His contribution transcended sport; his exploits changed Australia's relationship to what used to be called the "mother country".

Bradman made his first class debut at the Adelaide Oval, aged 19.  In all, he went to the crease 80 times in Tests, and scored 29 centuries. He needed just four in his last Test innings, at The Oval in 1948, to ensure an average of 100 ­- but was out second ball for 0, a rare moment of human failing that only added to his everlasting appeal. Bradman made all those runs at high speed in a manner that bewildered opponents and entranced spectators. Though his batting was not classically beautiful, it was always awesome.

Playing in only his tenth first-class match, Bradman, nicknamed "Braddles" by his teammates, found his initial Test a harsh learning experience. Caught on a sticky wicket. Australia were all out for 66 in the second innings and lost by 675 runs (still a Test record). Following scores of 18 and 1, the selectors dropped Bradman to twelth man for the Second Test. An injury to Bill Ponsford early in the match required Bradman to field as substitute while England amassed 636, following their 863 runs in the First Test. RS Whitington wrote, "... he had scored only nineteen himself and these experiences appear to have provided him with food for thought".Recalled for the Third Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, Bradman scored 79 and 112 to become the youngest player to make a Test century, although the match was still lost. Another loss followed in the Fourth Test. Bradman reached 58 in the second innings and appeared set to guide the team to victory when he was run out It was to be the only run out of his Test career. The losing margin was just 12 runs.

After his wife's death in 1997, Bradman suffered "a discernible and not unexpected wilting of spirit. Hospitalised with pneumonia in December 2000, he returned home in the New Year and died there on 25 February 2001, aged 92.
