Until Zahir’s over I still thought the Zouks would do it. Kuggeleijn going for 16 in his last over was unexpected.
It was a terrific performance by TKR, after the first ten Zouks overs. Simmons and Bravo running through the Zouks’ dances as they hit six after six was rubbing it in a bit.

Two phenomenal games in the knockouts so far.
Sunil Narine bowled magnificently against RCB tonight, picking up four wickets and unlucky not to get five or six, then walks out to bat in a tight game and hits three consecutive sixes.

Sorry
Disappointing but not entirely unexpected, unfortunately, particularly after getting crushed by Afghanistan in the week.
There’s a lot of negativity around squad selection and today’s team selection that seems to be getting to the players. Pooran’s had an abysmal IPL but he’s justified in starting to keep wicket. Gayle is being picked primarily on sentiment at the moment, though. Narine is a huge absence.
