I truly feel sad for RCB fans who keep cheering for them again and again only to be let down again and again. Their playoffs qualification hope just decreased drastically.

As long as Virat Kohli is playing for RCB they won be winning the trophy and by now everyone knows that  . After some dreadful performance, Suryakumar Yadav is back in form and that is helping Mumbai Indians winning the matches once again and will get qualified if they perform like this and 5 teams eyeing for the final spot.

Crucial 3 matches for the teams to qualify, SRH and DC can be the dream killers.

MI are on fire. If their top-order clicks(Excluding Rohit), they are winning most matches regardless of how big the target is. Nehal Wadhera is probably their biggest find this season in my opinion.

I truly feel sad for RCB fans who keep cheering for them again and again only to be let down again and again. Their playoffs qualification hope just decreased drastically.

When I was watching RCBs' batting i thought Koli's team shown their best performance after that starting Rohit's team performance then i realised MI kept their name by outstanding batting.Every season IPL bring out new young player and introduced them in the world cricket by their wonderful performance Nehal Wadhera is one of them from MI.I hope Nehal Wadhera will keep continue his performance for the next matches.From my site for RCB fans condolence, sympathy, empathy and grace.

On the points table and considering the performance this season CSK is looking a far better team than DC. While DC has won 3 of their last 5 games against CSK in IPL. Overall an exciting and thrilling game will happen for sure today. The match is being played at Chidambaram Stadium so we can expect an overwhelming attitude from the CSK fan. The part that would make this game more enjoyable would be seeing MSD bat.

Bangladesh's women's team is not very strong. There are very few experienced players in the team. Srilajik set a target of 146 runs. Winning a target of 146 runs on such a pitch is not a very difficult task. Still, it seems that the Bangladesh women's team will not win. At the end of 18 overs, Bangladesh women's team collected 121 runs, losing only 3 wickets. NIgar Sultana and Ritu Moni are batting well. Even then, it is very difficult for Bangladeshi players to collect 25 runs in 2 overs. Bangladesh players played quite well today. I will be happy if Bangladesh can win today's match.

And the Bangladesh women team made happy you. I also was expecting that the Bangladesh women team will give surprise. They were not looking strong and the target was also good according to the women teams.

Bangladesh women team gave only 4 wickets to Srilankan women team. And Bangladesh won the match only one ball remaining. The last some overs was really good and made the match interesting. Srilankan team tried really well but the luck was in the favor of Bangladesh team. Congratulations to Bangladesh.

It is true that Rohit Sharma has not been able to perform as well as the fans will remember for Mumbai Indians this year. But Mumbai Indians are performing well overall and have managed to come up with the tops in the points table. It remains to be seen whether Mumbai Indians can finally make it to the top four.

After a bad month we trust Rohit Sharma in the next match but in the next match Rohit Sharma does bad again. If Rohit Sharma was not the captain of Mumbai Indians then maybe someone else would have been given a chance instead but Rohit Sharma has already been retained by Mumbai Indians at a very high price and then he has been given responsibility under Mumbai Indians that is why Mumbai Indians is not planning to play someone else instead of him. Even if he does badly in all the matches, the team management will still rely on him.

Suriya Kumar Yadav's return to form was much needed. The performance of Suriya Kumar Yadav in the last match, I hope the team management is happy with his performance.

CSK seem to be struggling at the moment thanks to DC spinners who are piling on the pressure on them. This seems to be a spin friendly pitch which means that Jadeja, Ali etc could make good use of it.

DC should try and restrict them under 150 in order to improve their winning chances though I don't think that will happen.

Even if he does badly in all the matches, the team management will still rely on him.

That is basically called bad management. There are plenty of talented MI batsmen waiting in the background for a chance. His batting and captaincy skills are lacking these days which is why they should have replaced him temporarily sometime back.

Even in tough times, a team will inevitably turn to its star players for leadership. The management of the Mumbai Indians has come to trust Rohit Sharma since he has established himself as a vital asset to the club. It is vital to recognise the achievements of other players as well such as Surya Kumar Yadav who displayed incredible tenacity in his resurgence. The team management must work to strike a balance between retaining their starting lineup and giving emerging talent a chance. In the end, a team's success is determined by the combined efforts of all of its members therefore Mumbai Indians would be well to remember this as they advance in the competition.

Right. Mumbai Indians team management will not think of dropping a player like Sharma, at least in this year's IPL. If Rohit Sharma continues this performance, the Mumbai Indians team management will definitely be under pressure to find out who will be the captain of Mumbai Indians in the next IPL. Because if Rohit Sharma is not the captain of this team, then the team management would have dropped him.

Delhi Capitals can easily make it happen. In 17 overs CSK have reached 126 runs. Jadeja need to make some fast runs with which there is possible chances for 160+ runs. It seems like a batting friendly pitch. According to my understanding about the players and the present match Conway failed and the team wasn't able to reach good score. If Conway performs well surely that match turns to be high scoring for sure. Anyhow every match is important for the teams, win of Chennai Super Kings increase the playoff opportunity.

If Chennai Super Kings can win against Delhi Capitals today, they will be more than assured of qualifying for the IPL.  Because CSK's points are now 13 and if they win this match they will have 15 points. Most of the teams have played around 11 to 12 matches and it is very challenging for each team to make the playoffs even though no team has officially been disqualified from the IPL playoffs. Delhi Capitals need 84 runs off 42 balls. Now let's see whether Delhi Capitals win this match or CSK win this match.

Chennai Super Kings won the match by 27 runs. Its fantastic to see that Chennai Super Kings who are renowned for their excellent performances, The bowlers did a fantastic job especially Deepak Chahar who picked up 2 wickets and Matheesha Pathirana who was instrumental in taking 3 crucial wickets. Despite Mitchell Marsh impressive performance for Delhi Capitals it was not enough to secure a win. It only serves to highlight how crucial it is for each player to succeed in a team sport like cricket. Overall, it was a thrilling match and its always great to see such an impressive performance from Chennai Super Kings

This team is not getting any help from the top batsmen. David Warner is the captain of the team and has more reputation in T20 cricket but in this session not seen any remarkable performances from him. David Warner and Mitchell Marsh both performed worst as overseas players in today's match. Mitchell Marsh's run out made the match more decisive. Rilee Rossouw was able to score  but his strike rate looked like he was playing an ODI match. He  just collected 35 from 37 balls and was also the highest scorer in that match.

200 would have been more than enough, against teams such as KXIP or SRH. But then Mumbai is at entirely another level. And RCB bowlers are also not in good form, especially Harshal Patel and Wanindu Hasaranga (purchased for $1.31 million per year each). The pitch was very flat and even in-form bowlers like Mohammed Siraj and Josh Hazlewood went for plenty of runs. Anyway, this is similar story for the RCB season after season. Making Faf du Plessis the captain instead of Virat Kohli has also not worked so far. And one thing that made me confused was the substitution of Mahipal Lomror with Kedar Jadhav in the first innings. Ideally, RCB should have got one extra bowler instead of Kedar.

200 would have been certainly enough against almost any other team. I would also say that 200 would also have been enough for any other team as well. First of all, it was RCB who was defending the score. Secondly, it was Mumbai Indians who were chasing.

The tactics which RCB are currently trying seem to be not working so far.  I wonder what they are actually going to try out next. I am genuinely interested to see how they will actually improve their strength in bowling. Who can they bring in to do that successfully?

The batting performance of both the team batsmen shows that the pitch seemed not to support to the batter. Chennai Super Kings had some great batsmen they didn't do very well. On the other hand Delhi Capitals batsmen also failed to accelerate their scores. A similarity between the two teams are that neither could score big. Delhi Capitals did not start well due to which they lost the match. Moreover, some incidents like run out and LBW stopped the run of the match and Chennai Super Kings got a great win. Recently the points table shows a pretty picture. The upcoming matches will be more exciting.

Delhi Capitals should've won the match. Considering the big targets 167 runs isn't a easy reachable. As said the openers should contribute good, only then following players will add good runs. This is the team that comfortably chased 181 runs in 17^th over. In that match Phil Salt played well. Mitchell Marsh, Roussouw had also contributed good. In today's match the target is low and there is no big pressure. Anyhow this season of IPL playoff qualification isn't possible for Delhi Capitals. It needs to focus preparing for the next season.

CSK now one step ahead for playing knockout matches.They played 12 matches and earn 15 points . CSK stay in number two position in the point table.Captain cool wonderfully defeat DC team by leading from the front.CSK won by 27 runs and bad luck for Rilee Rossouw and Manish Pandey they made a good partnership but at the end their effort couldn’t win the team.

The 6s tournament for women at 2023 Southeast Asian Games got completed yesterday (all the matches - group stage and knockout, were scheduled for the same day, as this format doesn't take much time). Indonesia easily defeated Philippines in the final to win gold (78/1 vs 25/5). In the bronze medal match, Cambodia lost to Myanmar (23/3 vs 24/0 in 1.5 overs). I guess this is the first time that Myanmar has won a medal in cricket. Singapore was supposed to be the strongest team, but they finished at the bottom (5th place).

Knockout round seems certain for Chennai and Gujarat. These two teams are performing well. They are able to perform well in almost every match. However, Chennai were favorites against Delhi. Because the performance of Chennai players is quite regular. The players are in good form. Even then after being given a target of just 168, I thought Chennai would not be able to win the match. However, Chennai's bowlers performed brilliantly. Ravindra Jadeja, Moeen Ali and Tushar Deshpande's bowling was very controlled. Deepak Chahar also managed to pick up two wickets and Matheesha three wickets. Chennai won because of the good performance of the bowlers.

[pakhitheboss]

Pandey & Sanju Samson have a fear of running between the wickets. Yesterday's run out of Marsh shows how unconfident is Pandey when it was his call to run. Then he gets out by a brilliant yorker from Pathirana, his contribution was 27 runs in 29 balls. This guy should be dropped from the team as he has become useless. Being a low-score match still, CSK was able to defend the target because of Pathirana's brilliant bowling.

@LittleBitFunny all the credit for CSK terrific performances goes to MSD because he’s shaped this team exactly how he wants it to be. Furthermore the way he takes time to train player’s and tell them where they’re right and wrong is a classic example of why he’s one of the best cricketer and if this year he’s retiring* then I hope that he wins this IPL tournament and retires on a high. (*no official announcement of his retirement)
