Now, the delhi duo definitely needs to blast!!

Situation in balance in the next match between chennai & jaipur. 2 quick wickets by pathan(man! he is an all rounder), followed by brutal batting by Raina.

My favs: Chennai!!

What's the bet!

Dilshan is rocking!
Kathik is always a fighter. I rem him making 50+ in last IPL also to help delhi win a crucial match when everyone think they have lost it.
Gambhir and Viru needs to lift their game now as except for them whole team is performing(which is a good sign also as Delhi is winning inspite of star players flopping).
Match between CSK and Jaipur-
Only if Dhoni remembers to hit the ball CSK have a chance
Still if they make 150+ they can win.

anekho · 30th April 2009, 23:55

He would have got it if the giant scoreboard hadn't erred at the crucial moment. He celebrated his 100 and then was out the next ball.

Anyway its nice to see chennai beat the royals royally

@Esteem lover- didn't i said CSK has the fire

Todays matches are not that exciting.
Amwaiting for tommorow ones!

Well!

Another day another match, but the result remains the same for King KKK ah i mean King Khan's team

Great batting display from Duminy. Proving he is not a test player. Hodge playing a good knock but failing to convert it to a win for the team. Looks like SRK is not coming back. Dada failing. & what the hell is the issue with McCullum. Didn't keep, dropped a simple dolly & came on to bat so late & got out so cheaply!! Shame on him.!

Looks like Billu B****R(coding the controversial word) isn't so lucky for King K

Next Match: RCB V/S KXP My bet on KXP. Who's on it?

harry10 · 1st May 2009, 20:48

@Varun-
Rite!
I feel Punjab has an edge but if RC score 150 the match can be quiet close.
Till now the pattern is- make 150 around on batting first and most of the times it turns out to be a winning score. Also batting under lights had been tough at durban off late.

KR- honestly though i am supporting MI i felt bad for KKR today. There desperation to win was evident and they tried a lot. Mcclullum is in a trance and should be rested now.
As for SRK coming back- its a shame your owner will only back you up if you win,is that call encouragement and staying together in tough times?
If i was the owner i would be with the team even if we lose all 14 matches!

What a game! Yuvi took a hat-trick, opened the batting and scored a fifty, and still ended up losing the match. That will hurt.
RCB bowled really well, and finally they seem to be on right track.
And KKR are right on track for finishing last.

Looks like, it wasn't my lucky day. I lost out on my bet!

. Well, a brilliant display of all round performance by Yuvi wasn't enough to save Kings skin. Madame Preity would be quite dejected!! No hugs for Yuvi

RCB really played well.

Delhi take on Chennai. Its gonna be close. I want delhi to win & i guess its gonna be by a margin of 10-12 runs.

The other match might result in a cliffhanger if Royals are on song(i mean Yusuf).

My Take:

Delhi wins

Deccan wins
