Pakistan's bowler selection deserves scrutiny. Shinwari has SR of 23 in last 2 years, bettered only by Rashid K among bowlers who have taken 22 wkts or more. He averages 1.9 wkts per game which insanely good. Would walk into any team in the world. Pakistan? Doesn't make the squad

This is great for punters. Continues the myth. Kohli's strike rate today was NOT elite. And in the context of a one-off game, no way near good enough. Four KKR players scored faster and 3 more on his own side. He will cost RCB and India.

Rohit says the pitch "looks on the slower side". Williamson confirms it's a "used surface". A reminder that the pre-WC agreement was the Mumbai semi would be on a fresh pitch, and that the late change took place behind the back of ICC pitch consultant Andy Atkinson.
