Competitions 2024 IPL RDT Fantasy- RD1: Saturday 23rd March-12:30am AEST

[Herbie66]

Brevis , Kishan & SKY the only 3 not to bowl + Rohit has come on for Tendulkar

 

[mike89]

More rain you couldn't write this script

 

[Professor]

I'm going to bed this is ridiculous, rain was never on the radar for this game.

 

[tso]

RCB V CSK

 

[Diabolical]

2/73 from new recruits Stoinis and Hardik continues the final round struggle.

I made the moves last night because the weather forecast in my phone app for tonight doesn’t look pretty … so watch them get a full game in!

 

[tso]

1/0

Kamboj 0/48 off 3

 

[Professor]

1/14, so you say hold onto Pooran? Well Kishan had the game set-up to chase down a big score, so Mumbai decide he doesn't open and comes in at 4. 🤔

 

[mike89]

Grr. I didn't want a bar of this game as neither team had any stakes in it, but the risk of rain for tonight pushed me to at least give one player a go. And then not only does Stoinis not bowl, but most of my alternative choices did way better!

Still at 0/0, and I'd really like a game tonight...

 

[Herbie66]

On the board with Rahul

1/65

Was actually hoping for more (being greedy)

Before last night's game

Rahul v MI 17 Innings , 895 Runs @ 81.36 , 3 x 100's 5 x 50's

@ Wankhede 11 Innings , 579 Runs , 2 x 100's 4 x 50's

Couple of fielding involvements would have been nice

No one tonight

 

[mike89]

Well we have a toss!

CSK bowling first, which is a problem for me... I want Mitchell but I can't trust he'll get a chance to bat.

Anyone got a good weather radar for the Bengaluru area?

Used “The Weather Channel” on Thursday which had basically zero rain on the radar for the SRH game and we got a washout. Won’t be using that site again. “accuweather.com” has the % chance of rain falling in each hour. It has hour 20: 34%, hour 21: 37%, hour 22: 47%, hour 23: 51%.

After the toss result I think I’ll take a punt on Kohli, but not give him the captaincy as I had planned.

Going the same way. Want to avoid being too heavily invested in the last two games (a bit late for that, I know...) and the only person currently ahead of me with Kohli is the leader, who I'm not really throwing energy at trying to chase.

 

[Professor]

Decided against bringing anyone in, will see how SRH perform before using my last 2 trades

 

[Professor]

And here is the rain.

 

[mike89]

Kohli 19* (9)...

Play stopped due to rain with Kohli 19* (9)

 

[mike89]

Cricinfo reporting the ground is being cleared. Not losing overs yet, IPL has a one hour buffer.

Play to resume at 8:25pm local (12:55am AEST)

 

[mike89]

Goodness me. This pitch has turned into a minefield!

 

[Professor]

Gripping well

 

[mike89]

72 plus fielding points. That's a win.
