Champions League T20 - Final - Mumbai Indians v Rajastan Royals

So, the finale or the competition.

Pre-toss, Mumbai 1.73 .. and they drift slightly, after losing the toss (batting), and Mitchell Johnson not playing.

Run-line 159 ..

A fascinating match-up, of fairytale endings, with Tendulkar for Mumbai, Dravid for Rajastan, playing, late in their respective careers.

Mumbai bowling a bit weak, but, lets see what they score :

Here we go :

Mumbai 6-0 after 1 over , Mumbai 1.79

Mumbai 8-0 after 2 overs, Mumbai 1.80

Have small position over 150 runs .. LBW for Sachin turned down ..

Mumbai 17-0 after 3 overs, Mumbai 1.76

Mumbai 27-0 after 4, Mumbai 1.67

Wkt - Sachin goes - 15 from 13 balls, 35-1 after 4.3 .. 1.67

Mumbai 40-1 after 5, Mumbai 1.70

Mumbai 46-1 after 6, Mumbai 1.66

Mumbai 104-3 after 14, Mumbai 1.56


///////////////////////


Sorry, had to go out, and didnt finish this :

Mumbai scored 202, which was a pretty good finish, from 152-1, after 17.1 ..

This was good for my run-lines bet, and it proved a few too many for RR, even thou, at times, RR threatened to get close or even win.

A great finale for Sachin .. and few could say, he doesnt deserve it .. during the tournament, he passed 50,000 runs, in all forms of cricket ..

Champions League T20 - Mumbai Indians v Perth Scorchers

Key game, at least for Mumbai.

To qualify for semi-finals, they need to win by 34 balls (as they have won the toss, and will field).

Pre-toss, Mumbai 1.28 .. no change on toss .. Maxwell comes in for Johnson, to add batting power, but, if Scorchers get a decent total (unlikely), as Voges/Davis missing, their bowling will be really tested.

No position at the prices .. but, would be fairly keen to back Scorchers, if they score big.

Run Line - 142.

Here we go :

Scorchers 1-0 after 1, Mumbai 1.25

Ball turning, and holding .. wont be easy to score big .. run lines coming down ..

Scorchers 6-0 after 2, Mumbai 1.25

Scorchers 12-0 after 3, Mumbai 1.26 .. no position yet ..

Scorchers 22-0 after 4, Mumbai 1.29 .. gone long on runs, at 130 ..

Scorchers 28-0 after 5, Mumbai 1.32 .. 2 run-out chances already missed .. pressure ??

Scorchers 29-0 after 6, Mumbai 1.29 ..

Scorchers 35-0 after 7, Mumbai 1.26 .. seems v slow from Perth, no sixes yet ..

Scorchers 47-0 after 8, Mumbai 1.26 .. some runs at last !!

Easy stumping missed .. fielding errors, mounting ..

Scorchers 51-0 after 9, Mumbai 1.26 .. might be a small lay, as so many wkts in the bank ..

Wkt - 55-1 after 9.2 .. Mumbai 1.23

Wkt 56-2 after 9.5 .. Mumbai 1.17 .. bith Agar and Katich go .. mkt love for Mumbai, rewarded.

Scorchers 57-2 after 10, Mumbai 1.16

Scorchers 61-2 after 11, Mumbai 1.16 .. clear LBW turned down ..

Scorchers 72-2 after 12, Mumbai 1.19 .. no real interest here yet ..

Scorchers 84-2 after 13, Mumbai 1.23 .. poor fielding .. gives 5-7 runs there ..

Scorchers 95-2 after 14, Mumbai 1.33 .. 140 would be an interesting chase, in 15 overs ..

Scorchers 113-2 after 15, Mumbai 1.56 and in trouble .. run lines over 130, looking v good.

Small lay of Mumbai ..

Wkt - 114-3 after 15.3 .. Mumbai 1.39

Wkt 114-4 after 15.4 .. Mumbai 1.33 .. touch and go LBW .. Billy gives it ..

Scorchers 114-4 after 16, big over .. Mumbai 1.30

It definately seems, bowling full and straight, is best ..

Scorchers 120-4 after 17, Mumbai 1.31 .. looks low enough, .. but can Perth get 25 off last 3 ?

Scorchers 129-4 after 18, Mumbai 1.35

Wkt - 130-5 after 18.3 .. Mumbai 1.30

Scorchers 137-5 after 19, Mumbai 1.31 ..could be a big last over, for everyone ..

Wkt - 143-6 after 19.3 .. Mumbai 1.33

Scorchers finish on 149-6 .. not too bad, on a tricky pitch .. Mumbai 1.41 looks low to me ..

Need to score the runs, in 14.2 overs to qualify ..

Mumbai 11-0 after 1, Mumbai 1.25 .. have to lay this price ..

Wkt - Sachin goes .. Mumbai 16-1 after 2, Mumbai 1.33

Mumbai 21-1 after 3, Mumbai 1.32 .. small position against Mumbai ..

Disgraceful LBW not given .. Umpires !!

Johnson bowling great, he's really improved his game.

Rajastan 18-1, after 3, umpire changed the game .. Rajastan 1.47

Rajastan 27-1 after 5, Rajastan 1.52

Rajastan 56-1 after 8, Rajastan 1.19

Rajastan 60-1 after 9, Rajastan 1.18

Rajastan 69-1 after 10, Rajastan 1.14

 

No real pressure being exerted, u would think Rajastan would have to give this away now.

Rajastan 68-1 after 11, Rajastan 1.11

Wkt - 79-2 .. Rajastan 1.16

Rajastan 81-2 after 12, Rajastan 1.18 need 62 from 48

Rajastan 91-2 after 13, Rajastan 1.11

 

Rajastan won easily .. The LBW may have changed the dynamic, but, they won v easy.

Lost £450
