Toss
At Eden Gardens, Eden Gardens won the toss and elected to bat first. Jason Roy and Narayan Jagadeesan shared in an opening over partnership of 83 runs between them before both wickets fell, prompting further collapse by Sam Billings (14) and Andre Russell (25) being dismissed cheaply with only Rinku Singh’s 38* offering some resistance in middle order batting.
Kolkata had an outstanding first half of their innings and reached 222/6 before Royal Challengers Bangalore bowlers slowed the run rate and restricted them to 198/7. Virat Kohli and Devdutt Padikkal shared an innings-opening 49-run partnership before it was broken by Lockie Ferguson within the powerplay period. Sunil Narine picked up four wickets to assist KKR reach an acceptable total.

They even hugged each other during RCB innings timeout! Contrasting performances by both sides highlighted the unpredictable nature of IPL. This game will live long in memory as an unforgettable classic IPL match between KKR and RCB that captured all of its thrills and skills that define this competition. We hope both teams meet again soon in another clash to give fans another unforgettable experience; broadcast via Hotstar in India and Sky Sports UK respectively.
Bowling Statistics
At one point when test cricket was the only form of play, bowling average was one of the strongest measures used to compare two players and determine who was better at taking wickets than another. A low bowling average meant you gave up less runs per wicket taken.
However, with the rise of limited overs matches has made stats less significant. Now more important than ever is keeping the opposing batsmen from scoring as many runs as possible and this has altered how bowler performance evaluation is assessed. Smart Stats helps put everything into context so you can truly comprehend what an impressive performance means; Dinesh Karthik’s eight-ball 29 in last year’s Nidahas Cup final would have had much greater value had it occurred when India were struggling or when India were already winning comfortably.
A player’s bowling statistics typically include several columns detailing overs (OV) and balls (B) bowled, maiden overs (overs in which no runs were conceded), wickets taken and runs conceded, run wides conceded (WNA) economy rate rate wickets per over; these statistics allow teams and pundits to assess bowler performance over time as well as in specific match conditions.
Bowling Strikes
Team that scores more wickets usually wins the game, but bowling strike rate can also play an integral part. This indicates how often bowlers hit batsmen over with their deliveries; generally speaking, the bowler with the highest strike rate usually comes out victorious in this instance.
Russell was run out by a low full toss on middle, which he attempted to hit over long on, but the fielder at deep midwicket read well and throws down the bails, agreeing with their umpire’s decision and leading Bangalore to victory.
Rana strikes twice more in this over, hitting three consecutive sixes! His delivery from outside off, shuffled and lifted powerfully over mid off. A huge one that was dot ball!
Steyn to bowl the final over! Earlier, KKR lost Lynn cheaply before Narine fell during the Powerplay. But Rana and Uthappa held on, before Uthappa found it hard to take their score further before coming in Russell to seal victory and bring his side home. Bangalore overcame West Indian bowler Moeen Ali’s brilliant hundred and Stoinis’ cameo to win by 10 runs in an exceptional game of cricket on Wednesday, keeping their title hopes alive despite four consecutive defeats at Kolkata – setting up an all-important encounter at Eden Gardens on Saturday.
Fielding Statistics
Fielding average is an indirect measure of fielding performance calculated by tallying putouts and assists, divided by opportunities (putouts/assists plus errors) available to them to field. While useful as a measurement tool, fielding average does not account for difficulty of each play or batted ball hardness when making its calculations; consequently it tends to reward players who are more likely to get to every hit ball instead of those more selective players who may take longer getting there. Early in the season numbers can become unbalanced because chances don’t get adjusted properly – therefore early-season numbers become unbalanced as players’ chances become unbalanced; we are currently developing Revised Zone Rating as an alternative measure which will incorporate more variables – we hope that by midseason it will prove even more accurate!
