I'm with you on this. The revised target makes me very queasy. Shit happens...but this just does not hit the fairness threshold for me at all. Very unfortunate. I don;t have the answer for a better way to determine the winner...but dis eh it bruh.

64 off 4.2 overs is not easy.

Have the Royals chased down that kind of total the entire tournament?

There was never going to be a happy loser though. Oh well.

Breds yuh have 10 wickets so you can swing for the hills. It’s not like a super over where you’re limited to two wickets. TT red force regularly used to get 60-70 in the power play when our openers were Simmons and bharath so it’s not that difficult, especially if you know you have 9 wickets in the tank

Well then your openers should have gotted a easy 60-70 when they batted first... why complain now?

They batted too slow... it's a one man team. Pooran fetched the batting unit for the entire tournament... first thing yall need to do is get rid of the old pensioners.

Son it does not work like that. And did that actually happen? Did they swing for the hills?

The Royals lost 1 wicket. TKR bowled some really good balls with Narine and Jordan but Jordan bowled too many bad ones. A run rate of 14 is no easy feat.

Somewhere in an alternate universe TKR was asked to get 60 from 5 overs and you were posting how unfair it is.

Can't take a loss.

Lickit cricket is full of glorious uncertainties but the Royals and Knight Riders were the worst teams in the playoffs. Hopefully the finals is Kings vs Warriors.

The only difference was the source of the interruption. It wud have been the same Target score if it had been rain interrupted

Fact is TT weren’t asked to chase. And as a result we’ve lost to one of the worst teams in the tournament
