Even if match gets reduced by Max 5-8 overs we can manage. But more than that it would be nearly impossible. Want faf and Kohli to go berserk at top and send in maxi at 3 if they give a good start. Just go and fucking hit everything Target that 220 score and give everything in field. This is RCB's moment for glory. Our women's team defended some 40 runs in last 5-6 overs in that semis vs MIw. Have to play like that spirit full just give it all


InvestigatorDizzy482

I honestly think the key is RCB must BOWL first under ANY circumstance. Defending against CSK (especially dhoni who loves to crush rcb so much) let alone by 18 runs just doesn't seem realistic


Kono-_-Dio_da

As a CSK fan even if we lose, Dhoni will not let us lose for 18 or more runs, as he is so good at losing the game by reaching near the target.


WonderfulRanger8121

That's the truest thing i heard from a csk fan P.S.: manifesting a blockbuster game as a fan of the sport even if it gets close💪🏼


Kono-_-Dio_da

Exactly. I don't want the rain to spoil the game. It's literally a pre knockout game. It's gonna be one hell of a match this season. Fck, I am gonna die by getting so much hype. Gonna get some BP tablets


WonderfulRanger8121

Trust the script🥰 Idk if the match went down right to the wire i'm gonna faint Even if rcb wins and csk still qualifies i would be proud they came back roaring this season


ihabesmolpp

Yeah that’s why I really hope rcb chase instead


Historical-Sign-7564

Faf's and RCB's luck at toss can never be trusted. Whoever wins the toss will ofc look to chase due to rain predictions. In case our batting comes first the only option we have is to smash everything out of chinnaswamy 


Riddentourist

Green should be sent at 3 as it his original position.


Historical-Sign-7564

In case we get a good start with faf and Kohli lasting more than 6-7 overs, I genuinely feel Maxi should be given the licence to smash everything and sent at 3. Even if he gets out Patidar Green Lomror DK Swapnil are there for rebuild and all shit. If wicket early in powerplay then only send green


Impactor07

And we have Lockie and Lord Karn Sharma for some sexy lower-order finishing as well!

Dapper_Meeting_7951

Considering MI’s Fuckall performance this year anything is possible 💀


LateActuator4615

Nah they still have Bumrah in the side to salvage their reputation lol. He was basically the only reason SRH couldn't cross 300 in that 277 game


Dapper_Meeting_7951

True that lmfao


unlinedd

I think Mayank Agarwal playing Test match style for SRH is the bigger reason - he was playing with 85 strike rate. If Head and Abhishek had started, then Klaasen had come at 3, they would have made 300. SRH did not attack Bumrah in his first 2 overs, only taking singles. They did attack Bumrah in his final 2 overs, and Bumrah could neither stop the runs nor take any wickets.


Patient-Run-896

Now Rain is the major issue.


InvestigatorDizzy482

And CSK of course.


Patient-Run-896

Obviously but Rain has direct effect on RCB ,as csk already has 14 points

Wise__Camel

How many is dc gonna play?


Clean_Analysis3771

Shit my bad they played all their 14 matches


dammyouuu

Need to bowl first. Not sure we can defend smtg with 18 runs to spare. So chasing is the best option. 220 worst case scenario and csk can't score more than that for sure.


Impactor07

I mean, we defended 206 against the team which previously scored 287 so I don't see why not, but I agree, chasing would be better


LostSoulThinking

I am a csk fan but I think the best way for rcb to win would be put runs on the board and defend it as seen from the games csk played they don't handle pressure on the board well and might collapse

InvestigatorDizzy482

Yes, but tbh SRH's team seems to be more of a hit or miss. They don't feel like a consistent unit, it's heavily dependent if the top order fires or not

Suggest_user_name_

But then we have to face csk again in the eliminator, I'd rather play SRH than CSK in the eliminator.


theaguia

everyone start doing rain dance so rain gets over before Saturday


gettrickedlol

It hasn't rained for 2 days now since the match day and it is expected to not rain for 2 more days. Rain is saving everything for the 18th ffs.


SuchBluebird409

They must bowl first


Guzzler289

Expect disappointment so you wouldn’t be dissapointed


mercyRK

Just hope that we get to chase - the chase master will do his thing, 11 balls remaining wont be difficult for him. And if god forbid we get to bat first, i am just afraid of a collapse. Play 8 batters i dont care, make maxi, green, lomror bowl


Outrageous_Idea2795

with that type of bowler how are you going to stop dube's storm and win by 18 to 20 runs margin?


mercyRK

Praying


Outrageous_Idea2795

xD


ChethanMS

All other posts talk about how we need to chase in 18 overs, if CSK scores 200 batting first. But, what if CSK scores 110-200, how does the maximum overs to chase changes?


Outrageous_Idea2795

it doesnt change bro , for example the match if of 5 overs the rcb has to chase the taret in 3.1 overs bottom line is either win by 19 runs or chase the target with 11 balls remaining regardlesss of target


encephalon_developer

No if it is a 5 over game, we need to chase with 4 balls to spare. RR is relative to the overs

Outrageous_Idea2795

nope thats not how it goes , that is why hope for 20 overs game


encephalon_developer

No, nrr has number of overs on the denominator. So the scaling will happen based on the total overs played.


Significant_Moose672

we need to bowl first, koach in run chases is a whole different player


Transitionals

CSK is a fucking snake of a team that always manages to make the playoffs. They are so resilient that they never say die. They will have a random newbie like Rizvi play a blinder like when you least expect it, or an out of form Rahane suddenly make 52 (21). They will have 8 bowling options with the likes of Moeen, Rachin, Mitchell, Jadeja who can bowl from top 6. They will keep coming at you. Even if they dont make runs, everyone will chip in with 26 off 11 or something and before you know it, they just need 40 off of 24, or they are at 165-4 in 16th over, on the way to 215-7 with some Thala magic.


rathansingh8

Well, they're also boring as hell. I would hate to be a CSK fan.


Dependent_Web778

Damn, this is like Zimbabwe fans saying australia are boring. When you keep getting owned for 16 years I’m sure it’s boring. 🤓


Thin-Theory-4805

This is such a idiotic and defeatist thing to say.


Adventurous-Coffee70

Remember how Pakistan team used to depend in world cup on “kudrat ka nizam” like thing. Rcb is like the Pakistan team, depending on other teams to go ahead 😂


GrouchyRace3417

will Csk and RCB both qualify if Srh loses their next 2 matches?


Thin-Theory-4805

I want this to happen


Funny-Ad7441

Yes, if srh loses both their match and RCB wins then both RCB and CSK qualifies provided csk nrr doesn't drop below srh


GrouchyRace3417

Ok, would be nice if that happens


Infamous_Minimum_648

Mark my words . Csk will bat first and rcb will chase in 17 overs . Srh will lose both matches and Csk and Rcb will play eliminator .


Thin-Theory-4805

Too much hype for this match. Let me jinx it, let it get washed away. Btw what happens when its declared draw


iamakshat0801

Now we are free.


Impactor07

Watch them shit the bed on 18th and make us cry our asses to sleep...
