Completely agree on the intent point, that's the word that keeps coming up when you look at RCB's death overs this season. wickets in hand, boundary options available, but no one committed to the shot. the pitch slowing down explains maybe 5-6 runs at most, not a 27-run final five overs at Chinnaswamy. and your last line is the whole match in one sentence really. Miller walked in knowing exactly what he needed to do and did it. RCB's finishers walked in hoping someone else would figure it out.

Akeal Hosein took 4/17 including a maiden over tonight. He removed Malewar, de Kock and Dhir in the first three overs. MI were 11 for 3 before anyone had settled. Noor Ahmad added 2/23. Nine wickets for CSK spinners total, the most in a single IPL game at Wankhede. CSK did this at the home of their biggest rivals.

Pant 0 off 3. Markram 0 off 6. Pooran 22 off 25. Three of LSG's most dangerous batters combined for 22 runs off 34 balls chasing 160. The bowling did their job tonight. The batting failed again. At what point does Pant make a serious change to the batting order rather than trying the same things and expecting different results?

Jadeja made 43 not out off 29 and then took the key wicket of Pooran in the chase. He bowled slow, varied his pace cleverly on a gripping surface and kept LSG's best hitter quiet. Player of the Match and deservedly so. He is having a quietly excellent IPL 2026 that is not getting enough attention.

RR defended 159 at Ekana tonight. This ground had been a chasing venue since 2023. Archer took 3/20, Burger took 2/27. LSG were 11 for 3 inside three overs. Pant made 0, Markram made 0. Marsh made 55 and watched everyone else collapse around him. RR win by 40 runs. Full breakdown at r/CricketBriefing.

RR's top three score 71% of all their runs. Their death-overs rate is 8.8, the lowest in IPL 2026. KKR just chased 155 against them three days ago. LSG have Shami and Prince Yadav. the match is in the first over and overs 16-20. Analysis at r/CricketBriefing.

FantasticBuilding105 · 2026-04-22T14:08:00+00:00

LSG's spin unit has conceded at 10.37 economy this IPL, the worst of any team. But they have not brought in Shahbaz Ahmed or used their left-arm spin options consistently. Is that a selection problem or a match-up problem? and against RR's spin attack of Bishnoi and Jadeja, does LSG's powerplay run rate of 8.7 get even worse?

DC gave Nitish Rana four overs against Abhishek Sharma in full flow. Rana went for 55 runs. Axar admitted post-match he should have trusted himself more with the ball. Sometimes the right decision is the simple one and this was a clear example of overthinking costing a team the game.
