IPL Final

Moeen Ali will be sitting this bit out.

Instead, he will be taking his family to Makkah.

For Moeen, a devout Muslim, turning down the big bucks of the IPL

for a religious pilgrimage was a no-brainer.

So Moeen flew to Saudi Arabia and joined millions of his fellow pilgrims,

slowly circling the Kaaba and you move so slowly.

You follow the footsteps of Ebrahim.

It’s difficult, but very rewarding. I didn’t want to come back.” 8)

“The noise and the numbers” 

“There were about 4.5 million people there"


How many at IPL FINAL  ?  :-\

He gave up big bucks

Both teams are good, I wonder who will win. News channels and all showing Mumbai as favorite. But for me I think Pune will win. Let's see. Today is holiday so I guess there will be huge crowd.

It's hard to predict who will win the finals, many times we have a favorite, but it's the underdog who takes the trophy. Above all I hope it's a good game, and that the best wins!

Wasn't expecting low scoring final for sure. I wonder how Pune lost the match after they needed 7 runs from 5 ball !!!! M Johnsan played bowled really well in the last over, but 7 runs in 5 ball and they lost the match even they having 7 wickets in hand is really surprising.

naruto100, 'twas a run out or there would have been a Super Over decision

Youth LOST the FINAL with a bye and run out  :-[

19.6
Johnson to Christian, Mitch bowled down the leg side again
Christian swatted across the line but it wasn't off the middle.
The throw was already in as Christian finished the second run.
They stood no chance as they took off for the third
Mumbai have won the IPL!

19.4
Johnson to Washington Sundar, 1 bye, yorker outside off stump. Goes straight through, so it misses the stumps. He was looking to slice this through third man but was beaten. Christian was off the blocks quickly and completed the run as Parthiv's underarm flick missed

Super over could have make the match more interesting. But Pune lost the match in the last over which I thought they already won it. Lol. Too bad.
