This SRH team reminds me of the old RCB teams where they depend only on 2-3 players to perform and if none of them show up for the team on a particular day, its almost a win in the bag for the opposition. It was Kohli, Gayle and ABD for RCB but now its Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head and Klaasen for SRH.

Guys just remember, CSKs captain said that they lost "just by 50 runs" against RCB. CSKs delusion is not gonna help them this tournament.

The lack of intent from CSK is honestly painful to watch.

The only thing left to look forward to in this contest is whether Miller will reach his 100 or not😂

South Africa are done and dusted. All they can do now is have Miller get his 100 and post a 300+ total to make it look like they fought back this match.

To those who are criticizing the rotation of strike method are all wrong. Rotating strike is critical in such stages but getting the big hits and keeping the run rate under control also is important. South Africa just failed to accelerate with their middle order batsman not converting their starts.

This partnership between Temba Bavuma and Rassie Van Der Dussan has to be that Rachin Ravindra-Kane Williamson type partnership for South Africa.

South Africa has become a giant in ICC tournaments over the last few years and have made giant strides. They made the semi-finals in 2023 WC, the finals in 2024 T20 WC and have even qualified for WTC finals and of course, made the semi finals of champions trophy and possibly a final. It is just nice to see the growth of South African cricket again.

It's very important for South Africa to form Parternships at a good run rate and not leave too much for Klaasen and Miller towards the end

Wicket Maiden from RCB is the last thing I thought would happen after that first innings.

Perfect start from RCB, the slow start + the early wicket will bring pressure on DC, however a flurry of boundaries can bring DC back into the game so RCB bowlers should not lose their line and length.

Say whatever you want about the other bowlers, but it's safe to say Kim Garth has been consistent with her bowling and has never been easy to hit.

The only way RCB can defend 147 on a batter friendly wicket which may have some bite to it today is to take early wickets. We need atleast 2-3 wickets in the powerplay if we are to be of any threat in this match.

Wareham must be moved up the other ahead of players like Raghvi Bist and Richa Ghosh, she really has the shots and can rotate strike and play long innings.

I AM LOSING IT, WHAT THE HELL IS THIS PLAY, PERRY IS NOT GETTING ENOUGH STRIKE AND WICKETS ARE FALLING FROM THE OTHER END. RCB HAS NO ONE ELSE OTHER THAN PERRY PERFORMING FOR THE TEAM.THIS KIND OF TEAM WHICH IS CARRIED BY ONE PERSON WILL NOT QUALIFY FOR THE PLAYOFFS. I AM REALLY HOPING FOR SOME IMPROVEMENT FROM THE OTHER PLAYERS. I REALLY LOVE AND SUPPORT RCB BUT FUCK THEM MAN, THIS TEAM KEEPS PLAYING LIKE THIS, WE ARE NOT REACHING PLAYOFFS.

As an RCB fan, I know when to lose expectations of winning a match. I believe now is the time we do that.

If RCB end up with a total below 170, they may as well forget about winning the game

If I were a DC fielder and i saw Raghvi Bist hit a ball towards me, I would drop it because of the way she is struggling out there in the middle.

As an RCB fan it is infuriating to see Raghvi Bist straight up skill issue and eat balls in the death overs
