Delhi Daredevils vs. Kolkata Knight Riders Live Score- IPL Match 44 Preview

Posted: 01 May 2013 02:23 AM PDT

The under knock Delhi Daredevils will be facing Kolkata knight Riders in the 44th IPL match. The team will be in front of each other this time at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium, Raipur. The team Daredevils is nowhere in the big picture for the IPL trophy this season. Having lost 7 out of 9 matches that the team has played there is only a notion left to be in the game. The team has to win all of the 7 games or it will see itself out which is not so easy to achieve. On the other side Knight Riders are not at safer place either, their last defeat against CSK has bought them into deep waters and one more loss may mean an end for them this IPL.

Match Venue and Date

Delhi Daredevils will face Kolkata Knight Riders in the 44th IPL 6 match. The game will be played at Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium, Raipur on May 1, 2013 starting at 8:00 pm.

Delhi Daredevils

The key players for Daredevils Virender Sehwag and Mahela Jayawardene were not proving to be an asset for the team this season. The players have to more scoring rather than just being good starters for the match. David Warner is the name who is bearing the most burden of the team's batting order but alone he is not enough to make a change. Kedhar Jadhav is also a potential player for the team and can easily stand in the death overs. Point where things can get complicated for the team is the selection for their 4th overseas player among Andre Russell, Ben Rohrer, Johan Botha and Jeevan Mendis. They all are given their chances but failed to deliver what is expected from them. Roelof van der Merwe is the name to show consistency till now and can be seen at the Raipur play as well.

In the bowling Irfan Pathan is making a better impression while Morne Morkel and Ashish Nehra are somewhat proving to be expensive. Pacer Umesh Yadav is really crucial for the team this time as well. Shahbaz Nadeem who was a perfect starter in the IPL 6 season has gone low this in the last few matches.

DD vs KKR

Kolkata Knight Riders

The match will not be looking forward for the same out of form play from Captain Gautam Gambhir. However Manvinder Bisla has made a perfect substitute for Captain's out of form by boosting his performance. Brendon McCullum was not impressive in the last match and there are very less chances that Jacques Kallis this time. Yusuf Pathan was nowhere even close to his play this season and Debabrata Das, was also not being able to bat enough to prove his talent. Name that is still the same is that of Eoin Morgan, who has taken on other teams aggressively throughout this season. He is a master player and can technically handle all kinds of deliveries easily.

In the bowling Lakshmipathy Balaji as well as Shami Ahmed is proving to be expensive continuously. Kallis also proved to be expensive at some points, Sunil Narine also got battered mercilessly in the last match. Off spinner Sachitra Senanayake is seen to return to aid Narine to handle Delhi this time. Raja Bhatia is surely one of the most deadly bowlers in the KKR team.

 

Probable Team Squad

Delhi Daredevils: V Sehwag, M Jayawardene(c), U Chand (or) M Juneja, D Warner, K Jadhav(wk), R van der Merwe (or) B Rohrer, M Morkel, U Yadav, I Pathan, S Nadeem, A Nehra

Kolkata Knight Riders: G Gambhir(c), M Bisla(wk), J Kallis  (or) B Mccullum, Y Pathan, S Senanayake, S Narine,  E Morgan, D Das, R Bhatia, L Balaji, P Sangwan

Posted: 01 May 2013 02:16 AM PDT

The IPL 6 season is closing its end and this time it is Sunrisers Hyderabad and Mumbai Indians who will be facing each other. The match will be played this Wednesday at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium in Hyderabad.  Talking about the team Mumbai Indians, they are on a high after their two consecutive wins that too on the mighty teams like Royal Challengers. On the other side Sunrisers Hyderabad is facing defeat from the last couple of matches and this time will look forward for a lead again.

It will be interesting to see how the teams manage their part where one has the best batting order in the IPL while the strength of the other is their bowling.

Match Venue and Date

Sunrisers Hyderabad and Mumbai Indians will be in front of each other at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium, Hyderabad. The match will begin at 4:00 pm on May 1, 2013.

Sunrisers Hyderabad

The batting order has always being the loop hole in the team Sunrisers and it has shown the implications. The team is not able to be consistent with their bat on the field however they have shown steady play but it is not enough to clinch the silver ware. The team has also not being able to score any big any the best pay from their side is of 160 runs that is only in one of the games. Cameron White and Captain Kumar Sangakkara are not able to stay on the pitch for complete 20 overs. Thisara Perera is yet the important name for the team and Hanuma Vihari is a technical player who is also crucial for the team. The last match's performance of the duo Shikhar Dhawan and Darren Sammy gives Sunrisers a hope for a stronger play this time.

On the bowling front Sunrisers are as devastating as any other IPL team. The bowling is the strongest point of the team which is showcased brilliantly on the ground where the team has restricted others at a minimal score. Pacer Dale Steyn is firing aggressively while the show stealer has been Amit Mishra. The leg spinner has netted 14 wickets till now in IPL. Also Thisara Perera and Ishant Sharma have been able to restrict the batsmen in the game. Karan Sharma is an added advantage for the team.Sunrisers-Hyderabad-vs-Mumbai-Indians

Mumbai Indians

The team that is recently being in highlight is the Mumbai Indians. The team has smashed two excellent wins the last couple of matches. The best batting order of the team possessing all niche players from experienced to aggressive newbies, MI is a threat. Ricky Ponting's dropping for the poor play and Rohit Sharma's captaincy has shown brilliant result for the team. Rohit Sharma has shown some of the best plays after taking position of Captain, his 79 for 39 balls innings against Kings XI Punjab was spectacular. Kieron Pollard and Dinesh Karthik are also batting pretty well; also Dwanye Smith has being impressive with his bat so far. Sachin has being inconsistent in the IPL this season.

In bowling Mumbai has a reason for concern. The team loses on its bowling performance and inconsistency has being there at times. Mitchell Johnson has been expensive but has done a good bowling for the team, Harbhajan Singh along with Pragyan Ojha has netted 20 wickets so far. Dhawal Kulkarni was impressive in the last play.  In the middle order Kieron Pollard is the reliable one.

 

Probable team squad

Sunrisers Hyderabad: Kumar Sangakkara (c), Shikhar Dhawan, Parthiv Patel (wk), Hanuma Vihari, Thisara Perera, Darren Sammy, Ashish Reddy, Dale Steyn, Karan Sharma, Amit Mishra, Ishant Sharma.

Mumbai Indians: Rohit Sharma (c), Dwayne Smith , Sachin Tendullkar, Dinesh Karthik, Dhawal Kulkarni, Pragyan Ojha,  Ambati Rayadu, Kieron Pollard, Mitchell Johnson, Harbhajan Singh, Lasith Malinga
