IPL 2024: Head ton leads Sunrisers to record rampage as Bengaluru fall short despite Dinesh Karthik heroics

[ad_1] Synopsis: On a flat M Chinnaswamy Stadium pitch, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Royal Challengers Bengaluru batsmen gave a night to forget for the bowlers. Over 500 runs were scored — with bowlers resembling bowling machines at times – as SRH, who had a better attack, took home two points. Not really there Brian Lara summed up the night on air. “Thanks for the entertainment” he said as Hyderabad wrapped up a 25-run win. How else could one sum up a night where a record 549 runs were scored and as many as 38 sixes were hit in a T20 game. Make no mistake, when Hyderabad put on 287/3 the game was definitely sealed.

IPL 2024: Is the length ball more valuable than the yorker? | Cricket News – Times of India

[ad_1] "Don't bowl length in the death overs" was a maxim often used by commentators, coaches, and experts when they saw bowlers disappear into the stands in the closing stages of ODIs and T20s.IPL ORANGE CAP | IPL PURPLE CAP | IPL POINTS TABLEWith bats getting bigger and the batters getting stronger, length balls were often considered unforced errors from the bowlers. However, this IPL, the bowlers have hit the three-quarter length of the pitch with minimal damage.On largish grounds like Jaipur, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad and Mullanpur, the hard length ball that is bashed into the wicket with three fielders guarding the square boundary, often results in a non-boundary ball.
