Would actually like for RCB to go on and win it but yeah, don’t see it happening unfortunately. I think you’re right, the KKR will probably (& deservedly) go on and win it. My preference would be either RCB or SRH.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
Big breakthrough for the KKR in the first 2 overs with both SRH openers out.
Solid rebuild so far but need to keep going for pretty much the whole 20.
Terrific from Russell.
I think it's highly likely these 2 will face off again in the final
usually you're reverse jinxing RCB during the game, it's impressive you've started a day in advance
I assume the IPL is going from strength to strength in India?
Definetly think it's lost interest in England - I've barely seen a ball this year and see no general chat about it at all, even with quite a few of our lads going well.

KKR are the team to beat
If you'd made that prediction before the season started I would have been impressed. Now, not so much.
Well I did pick SRH and RR as two teams who could win so not too badIf you'd made that prediction before the season started I would have been impressed. Now, not so much.
Yes - it’s a proper league now. Local support is huge. I think there are a couple of things that still are off. One is that we get too much player-centric support.. like Chennai gets supported massively in away venues because of Dhoni. It’ll be interesting to see how the next generation of players are supported. I hope Virat, Rohit and Dhoni are the last of the celeb-players.
The other is that it’d be good for teams to retain the same players. The big auctions happen every 4 years and a bunch of teams get completely new identities. The ones which have retained their team players over a long time look like more serious teams. What this does well, though, is the league itself feels very competitive because the worst team can just release everyone and form a new team.
The league itself is very professionally run now. Dinesh Karthik was on a podcast and he spoke about how Mumbai Indians run things: players contracted to Mumbai Indians can contact them any time of the year for practise and Mumbai will arrange all facilities - net bowlers, balls, including renting out an entire stadium, flight tickets, accommodation - for a single player. There are also A team tours(Mumbai Indians sent a bunch of kids out to England to play some county teams in unofficial games.. likes of Tilak Varma, Brevis).
Was hoping we'd be chasing, we're fecked.
Desperately need Maxwell and DK to come off here, do RCB. Patidar is just trodding along unacceptably almost. Putting immense pressure on the rest.
That was shocking from Maxwell
Aussies stinking the place out - I've been hooked in.
Kohli’s expression 
RR robbed!

What a terrible decision.
Good to see VAR is shit in the IPL aswell.

That was hilariously poor call, not the first one this season either.
Really bad innings Karthik
He's the least clutch player in all of India for last 20 years
This score really should be an easy target if Buttler was around.. but he's not..
Jaiswal is going to be the key here. He scores a quick 50 odd and RCB are done.
Yeah he's good for 1, probably 2 effective innings thru the entire tournament.
I think we're short 15+ runs, but still, this can be made a game of.
Difficult chance dropped, feck
Green drops a very difficult chance, now Maxwell drops a sitter. fecks sake
Maxwell suspiciously poor today.
Has been shite all tournament and the only reason he’s back in is because Jacks went back home. RCB needs to get these 2 as well, to have any chance.
Such a silly shot by Jaiswal. Samson is the key here.
And as I type that he is gone. Two stupid shots.
And as I type that he is gone. Two stupid shots.
Even worse by Samson.
I don't think that should've been given
Well, game over
Can RR bottle from here
Very good from the two West Indians to finish it.
Shame RCB couldn’t carry their momentum into this match and score more. Well done RR.
They tried their best. Sadly we were 15+ runs short as I thought earlier.Can RR bottle from here
Oh well, it is the history of the RCB. Such is the life of an RCB fan.
We were fecked the moment we had to bat first. Very very hard to win here batting first.
I know but as you said another 15+ might have been enough. They did brilliantly to get to the eliminator after their start.
