In my perspective,
Though we had won the last two matches, there is a negative sign ahead of the play-offs.
The reason is the middle order. It had collapsed badly in those two games.
Against Knight Riders, We were 73/3 in (10.0) but just added 41/5 in the last 10 overs.
Aginst Baadshahs, We were 67/1 in (10.0) with required run rate was 6.7 (67 in 60 balls) and 9 wickets in hand. But it ended with required run rate of 10(30 of 18 balls) for the ninth wicket; just 1 wicket in hand.
Looks like we hadn't balance the team and just moving the players up and down.
Also we leave karthik lonely in the battle. i.e, no other hitters accompany him to support and ease the pressure. We expect more from him to deliver whatever the situtation; no matter if it is 30 from 3 overs or 50 from 4 overs. I suggest to keep one more hitter like Gaurav at the end.
Again it's all my obervations and suggestions.
Good finish by Karthik and Narender. Well done. Keep it up guys.
