DC advantage.. RCB batting first..

Yes that could also be done too. These things come to your mind when you see 80% of the matches won chasing. It would be so unlucky to be losing the toss in the playoffs, Especially in the eliminator . KKR Vs RR becomes very important now as KXIP are out so that makes a space for one of these two to take place of DC/RCB by winning by a big margin and getting the NRR above them.

It has been the case of win the toss win the match. First inning looks like played on different surface compared to second inning. OT: I think there should be no toss in IPL, As you play each team twice the home team gets to chose if they bat or bowl just to give everyone equal chance.

KXIP

Yes Exactly. But sadly DC isn't playing like champions anymore & KXIP still have to qualify so only RCB remains.

Hahahah, TBH if its for the viewership believe me KXIP is winning it just to make the next game important & SRH game the final deciding game. Rest I am with anyone winning except KKR. IF RCB makes it I am supporting them

HAHAHA I Fkin knew this is gonna happen.

Well both games went the way it should have for the broadcasters . So last 4 games max TRP (Max ads revenue), Everyone will be watching all the games to see which teams win will benefit their team..!! Lets see if KXIP can win tomorrow with good margin to get their nose ahead of DC-RCB Nrr. IF KXIP loses then surely its MI-DC-RCB-SRH cos KKR-RR Nrr is poor & Would need a huge margin win (14 over chase/75 run win for both). Lets see what happens tomorrow

Yes, In the end its ENTERTAINMENT..!!

Well I commented that out of frustration. Cos how can a team win 5 in a row all of a sudden from being at the bottom of the table & How can top 3 teams start to lose to teams in the poorest form. Obviously its not fixed being a cricketer myself I know u cant even get a an edge deliberately leave alone hitting a six on a last ball to win, BUT some outcomes can be agreed upon to keep the viewership alive till the last match of the league stage cos at the end they also need to earn money through ads which will only run if more and more people watch.

DC Winning 7 out 9 and now losing 4 games when it mattered the most. RCB please win today. Really wanna see SRH out of the tournament so that KXIP can win tomorrow and qualify. GO KOHLI!!!! Just realised they are playing in Sharjah, ABD-Kohli should easily win this one.

If this is scripted then both DC & RCB will lose tonight. taking it to last couple of games for the play-offs berth. I hope it's not & both RCB & DC should qualify tonight.

Finally streak is broken Let's see who makes it to the playoffs. Even RCB-DC need to win 1 game to qualify.

In bhaisaab ko kya takleef hai bhai ?!?! Kya takleef hai inko ?!?!?

CSK

Super over please..!!!

On paper it still looks like any team can qualify but looking at the current form & oppositions they face. I think the current 4 team will qualify. RCB & DC need to win 1 game each to avoid KXIP snatching their chance of ending at No2 spot. I think these could be the outcomes of the remaining games, Games which are equally balanced I have put ? against the winner name. CSK-KKR = CSK, KXIP-RR= KXIP, DC-MI= MI ?, RCB-SRH= RCB, CSK-KXIP= CSK ?, KKR-RR= KKR ?, DC-RCB= DC, SRH-MI= MI. Anyone else who feels these could be the outcome ? Or feels something different might happen ?? KKR are low on confidence due to batting not firing & DC also have had some on & off games. CSK might win both of their remaining matches.

He's very stubborn while selection it seems, Thats the difference between him & Rohit. Rohit has better captaincy skills when it comes to IPL. Virat should open and Play Ali-morris-dube-washington. How can you not win when you have 4 very good all rounders.!.!.!.! They do lack middle order batsmen though. I guess all teams except KKR will be cheering for CSK tonight. If KKR loses tonight then RCB-DD will go through without worrying much. Doubt that SRH-RR Will win both their remaining matches, Its between KKR & KXIP.

Why isn't Dube bowling ???? This is perfect pitch for him to bowl...

I would say RCB are 15-20 short but they got 2 wickets. So game is in balance.

RCB & DD coming back in form.

RCB

Not only DC is losing but their Nrr will take a huge hit after losing by 100 runs..!!!! & SRH might end up with the best NRR (Except MI).

DC have lost 2 games badly. Giving away too many runs and then not able to even get close to the target. Now they have to win the next match to qualify or else they might miss out. Tomorrow we will see 1st team to qualify this season, MI Vs RCB.
