What did the fans decide
Analysis
Team Selection
Unchanged side
·       44% wanted an unchanged side

Unchanged side was the popular choice.  But playing Sammy was a decision definitely worth considering.
The crucial foreign allrounder slot
Moises Henriques

·       34% wanted Sammy
Henriques was the popular choice here.
Who should bat 1 down
KL Rahul
·       43% wanted Warner at 1-down
·       38% wanted KL Rahul at 1-down
Sending Warner up the order would have been a great choice
5th over of SRH bowling
Irfan Pathan
·       64% wanted either Pathan or Henriques to bowl that over
This over changed momentum for the match.  But an overwhelming majority decided exactly what Shikar decided
Foreign Player popularity

·       Dale Steyn – 63%
·       David Warner – 23%
·       Aaron Finch – 12%
·       Darren Sammy – 2%
Dale Steyn enjoys great popularity with the SRH Fanbase
Opening Pair
Aaron Finch and Shikhar Dhawan

·       Finch & Warner – 17%
All things considered, Finch and Dhawan seem to be the right opening pair
Turning Point

·       At end of 1st Innings – 83% felt Hyderabad were ahead at that time
·       At end of 5 overs of 2nd Innings – 62% felt Hyderabad were ahead
·       At end of 10 overs of 2nd Innings – 65% felt Mumbai was ahead at this stage
Clearly Hyderabad lost the match in the first 10 overs of their bowling.  Given that Mumbai were 16/1 after 4 overs – overs 5 to 10 were the biggest negatives for Hyderabad.

Editor’s Pick (T20): India - Sri Lanka

By
A young and relatively inexperienced team, the players are full of enthu and raring to go as they face Sri Lanka at home tomorrow for their first T20 match of the Nidahas Trophy. I’ll tell you one thing. India is full of confidence. The boys have beaten the lions before in their own den. Not just beaten but a brutal defeat the Lions faced. Team Sri Lanka, on the other hand, will not take this team lightly. Yes, they are young. Yes, many players are playing for the country for the very first time. But that does not make the players any less lethal or skilled. In fact, the young players are likely to be passionate and aggressive from the word go.
India squad: Rohit Sharma(c), Shikhar Dhawan, Lokesh Rahul, Suresh Raina, Manish Pandey, Dinesh Karthik, Deepak Hooda, Washington Sundar, Yuzvendra Chahal, Axar Patel, Vijay Shankar, Shardul Thakur, Jaydev Unadkat, Mohammed Siraj, Rishabh Pant Sri Lanka squad: Dinesh Chandimal(c), Upul Tharanga, Danushka Gunathilaka, Kusal Mendis, Dasun Shanaka, …

The grand Finale: India - England #GirlPower

By
The Lords did see one really beautiful match. India met England and it turned out to be a helluva encounter. The margin - 9 runs - made it a thriller match that placed you at the edge of your chair. Both the teams played magnificently and gave it all that they had for their countries. England did not put up a high total on the board, but they came back strong and stunned the Indians. The fightback was really something to watch. And England happily walked away with the cup. It was a moment of crowning glory for the British Women who fought hard in every way. The Women In Blue, led by Mithali Raj missed it by a whisker. But having said that, they have made everyone back home incredibly proud. Making it to the finals of one of the most coveted tournaments conducted by ICC should be appreciated and applauded.
A quick summary of the match.
Set to achieve a target of 229, the Indian Team looked set in their path to get their first world cup in their midst. Opener Punam Raut made sure of a g…

India showed what they can do at Chepauk Stadium last night.

I could not get my hands on the tickets. Yup. Had to start with this line because it can only get better as you read on. The match was mind-blowing. The Men In Blue were bright and brilliant. They were down a bit but when they came back, they were strong and competitive. They did not let the rains get to them. They did not let the rain prevent them from winning. The Chennai Audience had the time of their lives indeed. It was good cricket. Even for those few at the stadium who supported the Aussies. The sea of blue chanting Dhoni’s name was resounding and well-deserved. It reminded all those who kept asking Captain Cool when he plans to retire that Dhoni makes the call, not them. The man’s still got it.
When Australia came in to bat, they were facing a target of 164 to be hit in 21 overs. Now I do not understand Duckworth or Lewis. Put them together and I am just lost. They came in, played around with the numbers and put a target based on how India batted, the number of wickets they lo…
