Good to see that we are 20.
Have anyone tried the android app? I can not pick, in fact the app does not load at all.
@Jsraw, I did not that MI never won their 1st match but I think MI will create the history tonight. If they bat 2nd, I think they would 100% make it. Good luck to MI. I have picked MI.

[JSRAW]

Haha sorry

I opted for MI as well in pool but already put some cash on CSK due to good odds and they do have tendency to fight back. Will cash out as soon as they gets in favorable position.

I have the app installed. Works fine for me. Didn't face any issues. But if your internet connection is a bit slow it won't load. If you didn't pick your selection use Mobile browser. Btw, MI is batting first

No idea about this specific stats, if they lost all their first matches in the past then it is possible that they will continue that tradition. The reason is CSK has all the old players and Faf du Plessis is the only player that could perform and i consider their batting line up comparing the MI batting lineup and the bowlers they have.

Edit:

Mumbai lost both their openers.

Saurabh Tiwary looks out of shape with big belly .

[Pffrt]

How come people who have chosen narrow win for MI have 1 margin point  I think this is a bug. There's no chance that anyone can get point without the output of the match. Or I'm new to superbru 

[Haunebu]

Chose CSK to win this one and am confident that they will win this one primarily due to their 1st match loss record that JSRAW posted. Faf du Plessis basically saved so many runs through his epic catches.

Have anyone tried the android app? I can not pick, in fact the app does not load at all.

I am currently using the Android app both on OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 7T without any issues so far. The issue is probably on your end. Try uninstalling and reinstalling the app.

I think this is a bug from Superbru. Hope after the match ends it will be changed as per the results.
CSK is already at 16-2 after 3.3 overs. So I think it will be a comfortable win for MI and will get the 2 points.

Good to see your post here buddy! Thanks a lot for buying a banner. It added up nicely. I think none of us too expected that we will have this big number of participants but the guys made it possible. I would like to thank everyone who supported us with finance (sportbet.one, you for bitcoinprbuzz.com, efialtis for BTCGOSU - he in fact added up more 0.005 BTC, Betnomi for betnomi.com, still opne banner left though) and all users who helped us to spread the words around especially akhjob, Little Mouse, JSRAW, Vishnu.Reang and some others. Without all those combined affords it was not possible at all.

We are officially 20 now!

I think one reason could be the tourney's very short -- I remember the pools for World Cup had some participants who would never have made it in the normal ones lasting 10 months.

But yeah, happy to have contributed in making this a success. If it becomes bigger next edition, I'll feel happy to have played a part, just like what's happened with the EPL one now!

So far favs ahead eh?

[Fatemablabla]

Oh man CSK won the match. -_- That little Cameo from Sam Curran made the difference in last. I was confident untill than that MI will win. Congratulations who got the points in the 1st match.

Full score:
MI: 162-9 (20.0)
CSK: 165-5(19.2)
CSK won the match by 5wkts in and 4balls in hand.

Btw if you watch football you will understand these   CSK showing respect to Barcelona. Lol.

[RapTarX]

Can someone breakdown the margin point calculation? Whoever have chosen CSK to have a comfortable win have gotten 1 point while a comfortable for battting 2nd is; 3-5 wickets win or 5-9 balls remaining. CSK won with 5 wickets but it was a narrow win. Why? Is lower one considered here? In fact, CSK win can be considered as both; narrow & comfortable. But how do they calculate exactly?

Almost everyone realized that CSK would comfortably win this one after that awesome Rayudu-Du Plessis partnership. Google predicted a 80% win in their favor too due to their partnership. Curran played well though towards the end.

This is interesting. I would like to know too. I am surprised that no one grabbed an extra MP though. Winners received 1 point and the rest are at 0 currently.

Thanks bro.

The sad part is i wont be able to watch the matches, just going through the live updates. I never thought Sam Curran could bat and when MSD promoted him i thought it was a blunder.

Good start for MSD and CSK.

[JSRAW]

MI is very consistent team, they didn't want to break their opening game losing streak against the senior citizens so they let them win. 10/10 to MI for fair play award.

4 balls remained in the end hence "Narrow win"

[Pffrt]

I dont think that this match was a "Narrow Win" as you can see that after loosing 2 quick wickets CSK players started to play safely and according to it they won it easily.

@RapTarX
Please read the below quotation:

The lowest fitting tier of wickets and balls remaining will apply. For example, a win by 9 wickets with 1 ball remaining or a win by 1 wicket with 20 balls remaining are both Narrow.

The lower one will define narrow win or comfortable in case of batting second. You can learn more about scoring here- https://www.superbru.com/indian_t20_predictor/how_to_play.php#tab=scoring
This made me confused couple of times when I was new in superbru pool.

Looking at players from both Delhi and Punjab, it seems Delhi has far better bowling attack than Punjab and in batting, Delhi's batsman are reliable as well although Maxwell is in good form which might be a danger for Delhi tonight.
Anyway, I'm going with Delhi to have comfortable win, have already lost the point yesterday by picking MI although they lost all of their opening matches since 2013.
Odd seems good for Delhi till now. 1.7 for Delhi while 2.2 for Punjab.

[akhjob]

MI started good in both innings but failed at the end of both innings. Faf made all the difference for CSK took two awesome catches at the boundary and had a good partnership with Rayudu & scored a half century. Too bad that I chose MI over my home team  Today my bet is on Delhi, hope they dont fail me.
@JSRAW, if you have some stats on Delhi post it before the match starts, dont spoil it like yesterdays.

It's a narrow win. If the chasing team wins, they take the lowest of the two (wickets and balls remaining). In this case, even though they won by 5 wickets they almost ran out of balls ie. 4 balls. So it's a narrow win(0-4 balls remaining).
