You forgetting Natrajan? Only fast bowler in this season perfecting his Yorkers ( 21 so far). It's first game for Sidharth so willing to cut him some slack.
Overall SRH bowlers did fairly good job, last 4 balls messed it up the momentum but 208 still chasable at this venue.
Yup. Natarajan did a pretty good job today. Having an economy rate of 7.25 runs per over at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium is phenomenal. I think I saw him bowling a few times for the Kovai Kings in the TNPL last year. He was pretty ordinary in his first game in this IPL, but then he bounced back quite well.
Pandey got out two overs back. SRH are on track, with Warner and Williamson at crease. Priyam Garg had a good outing in the last match and he'll be their no.5. Then we have Abhishek Sharma and Abdul Samad. Now it's SRH's game to lose.
Natrajan is really bowling even better yorkers than Jasprit Bumrah. Moreover while every bowler is struggling with an old wet ball he has been pretty comfortable with it. Another person doing good death bowling is Nortje from DC. These two bowlers so far are the best death bowlers of this IPL. They need to replace Abhishek Sharma with someone who is in form.. But I think they don't have options with them.

Now it's SRH's game to lose.
They messed up royally today, was not expecting such batting show from the SRH. They literally gave up, last 12 balls and they managed to get only 12 runs. it tells the complete story.
Bowlers won the battle here, both teams showed a character in the bowling department.

Punjab vs Chennai
Thakur's over could be game changing (less 10-15 run chase), he brought back his team in game by taking wickets of 2 set batsmen in 2 consecutive deliveries.
All eyes on KXIP bowlers now. They are playing with an extra foreign pace bowler in form of Chris Jordan. Let's see if this could help their bowling lineup.
