Rajasthan Royals  VS Delhi Capital

Which is your choice today between Rajasthan and Delhi? The match is very important for Delhi if they want to qualify for the next round. Delhi is still 4 points behind of Bangalore. And so Delhi will have to win today's match. On the other hand, if Rajasthan can win today, they will be able to move to second place in the points table. Rajasthan's batting lineup is also very strong, so in today's match I think the Rajasthan team is the favorite.

Its an important match for DC, if they can win today then they are definitely in run for next round. On the other hand RR may afford a loss today. RR at the moment at 54/2 in 8 overs. Seeing the recent results of matches, team batting second is struggling to chase small target of 150. If RR can score somewhere over 150 they defiantly have bright chance.

What's wrong with Jadeja, seems like bad things love this man so much. First rule out CSK's captaincy now he has been ruled out the rest of IPL 2022 with a rib injury. He simple passing a difficult time even not in a decent structure for a long time. Is it really his injured or somehow suffering politics? Anyway, I hardly believe that he will be back very strong in the next season for CSK.

Got a captaincy, suddenly lost the form followed by captaincy and now injury.

I'm also hearing some chatters that relations between management and him are not cozy atm, could be a rumor but there is no media coverage so as usual rumors are filling the vacuum.

Strange results continue to come from IPL, yesterday we have an unexpected result from LSK and GT game and now similar result is expected from RR and DC. Mitchell Marsh is playing a superb innings, he is not out on 89. DC will win this match quite easily but can Mitchell Marsh score a century?

Rajasthan gave a target of 161 runs. And considering the condition of the pitch, it was a good enough target. But the batsmen of the Delhi team are very experienced. At the end of 16 overs they managed to collect 129 runs, they lost only one wicket. The pairing of Mitchel Marsh and Warner was very enjoyable. Delhi Capital is heading towards victory for this extraordinary performance.

That happen when some players become more powerful than the board or when institute lack decisive leadership. Even Sachin didn't enjoy this much of power despite being backbone of Indian cricket for so long.

Some players are always in pressure - captains are one of those - I am not sure how they feel when they carry the pressure of whole nation on their head.
I always liked Tandolkar - India has given cricket very good players.

Rajasthan Royals  VS  Delhi Capital

By defeating Rajasthan, Delhi still has hopes of qualifying to the next round. Although the Delhi team is a stable team, they are not playing well on a regular basis. They have won only 6 out of 12 matches. However, Delhi's performance in today's match was good. While the pitch is not batting friendly, the performances of two experienced Delhi batsmen, Mitchel Marsh and Dave Warner, have impressed everyone. If such performances continue, Delhi will reach the fourth position in the table in the next few matches.

I thought Rajasthan would do good in today's match but They only gave a little target to the DEhli team.
The moral of Rajasthan seems a bit lower, But let see who ends up at forth position.

After Rajasthan scored 160 runs, I thought Delhi was going to lose this match. Because in the last few matches we have seen that it is becoming difficult for the teams batting in the second innings to collect 100 runs. Delhi opener Srikar Bharat returned to the dressing room with zero runs. But with the help of Marsh and Warner's experienced batting, Delhi won. These two batsmen formed a partnership of 144 runs.

Will it be possible for the Delhi Capitals to advance to the next stage? Most of the teams have played 12 matches each. Rajasthan and RCB both have 14 points each, while Delhi is having 12 points. Two matches remain for each of the teams. The advantage with DC right now is that they have a much better run rate compared to RCB. At this point, I would say that Delhi has only a 10% chance of qualifying. They need to win both their remaining matches and hope that RCB lose at least one of their remaining duels.

Just for fun i posted this "wishful thinking" in other thread couple of days back but after Delhi's win last night, now there is a fine possibility of >14 Points < clash scenario.

DC dependent on other teams win/loss ratio but they also have to win at least 1 more game in case of >14 points clash<

Mumbai is kinda kingmaker here. I would very much like NRR qualification instead of normal playoff entry.

I am rooting for >14 points each< clash scenario for rest of the teams (except Gujrat + Lucknow + Poor MI)

Rajasthan should lose remaining 3 matches
RCB should lose remaining 2 matches
Delhi should win 2 and lose 1
SRH should win 2 and lose 1
KKR should win 2
Punjab should win 2 and lose 1
Dhoni should win all the matches

This match would be known for the batting and bowling of Marsh. I enjoyed his batting more than his bowling and not to forget David Warner's support. 160 was a good score to chase for DC and I never thought it would be easy for DC to chase that target but these two made this win so simple. I hope DC cements its position in this season of IPL playoffs.

I believe it was an easy victory for DC since they came up with a plan and executed it quite well, though they did not take many wickets in the first half but made it tough for RR. Marsh did play an important role in being both bowler and batsman.  Aussie duo of Warner and Marsh together scored 144 runs and the rest was taken care  by others.

I have seen the performance of batsmen in the previous few matches. It is very difficult to collect runs on such a pitch. Delhi would have lost the target of 160 runs given by Rajasthan if Warner and Marsh had not batted responsibly. I don't want to give credit to Delhi bowlers. Because the pitches here are helpful for bowling. On such a pitch 160 is good enough collection to win.

Also the hot weather is one of the factors in lower moral of the player. Dead pitches take the spirit away.
Good work by Delhi and of course the credit goes to the Marsh and Warner. The target was not big but the performance of both the teams were okie.

CSK in there match against MI are in deep trouble as they have lost top 3 batsman in first two overs and just 5 runs scored. For CSK to score above 150 runs, Dohni has to play a genuine knock today. 150 these days has become a challenging total and team chasing anything above that are losing the match. Both MI and CSK are already out from IPL 2022.

MI VS CSK
MI captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and decided to bowl first against CSK. He did a couple of changes, including Pollard and Ashwin. MI won the toss and decided to bowl. I think for CSK is not a good start since in 3 overs only they have got 3 wickets. Mi bowling is just awesome so far. I have my doubts whether CSK could make up for today’s match.

^ In my opinion, Delhi has the capability of qualifying for the next stage but for that to happen a lot of things need to go their way.

First of all, they have to win and get as many points as they can. Secondly, they have to hope that the teams that are in front of them lose. Otherwise, they don't have much chances.

The good thing is that they have a good run rate and that is surely going to help them if it comes to that.

But the way RCB is playing right now I don't think it is a valid option for them. The best thing for them is going to be winning all the matches from now on and the team that is above them loses. And yes right now it seems like T20 is the only valid format for ICC to increase the popularity of cricket because test cricket takes 5 days and ODI cricket takes 7 hours for only one match and that does not sync with the current world.

It is not a hard match to win for Mumbai Indians because total run is not high to chase. CSK should run more for getting a competitive match. MI didn't start well also but I hope they can win the match because they need only 87 runs to win the match against CSK.

Chennai has given a target of only 98 runs. Chennai lost two wickets in the first over and could not return to the truck. However, with a target of only 98 runs, Chennai is fighting for victory. Chennai's Captain Dhoni. I will not be surprised if Chennai wins this match. Chennai has the potential to win even after setting a target with a low run. Dhoni is a very experienced and awesome captain.

[Sithara007]

What the hell is going on? Another two digit total was made today, as CSK was bowled out for a total of 97 by Mumbai Indians. For CSK, the top 4 batsmen just made 8 runs. Only MS Dhoni was able to make a decent score (36 not out), and at one point they were at 39/6. Daniel Sams wrecked the top order with 3 wickets, while Riley Meredith and Kumar Kartikeya cleaned up the middle order and tail. But this match is irrelevant for the other teams, as both these teams are out of contention for the next round.
