Bitcointalk IPL Prediction Pool & Discussion

[JSRAW]

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.  

If you are betting on Delhi then i would suggest you to relax a bit and wait for toss or ideally "Few overs" you might get better odds for DC. Opening odds for both teams are not lucrative, let the action start first.

Not any ground breaking stat but 2 well known individual stats....

Watch out for Maxwell vs Ashwin , Maxy has a monstrous strike rate (200+)against Ashwin before getting out. Could be game changing moment for Punjab if Maxwell clicks.

Karun Nair has good record against Delhi Capital, 3 fifties in 6 games.

This made me confused couple of times when I was new in superbru pool.

These scoring things when 2nd innings team wins make me confuse as well. But I leave it to superbru knowing they are the best to take care of it.

Hehe.. I was talking about my superbru pick which cant be changed after the match start Normally, I dont place bets until I see a match of the respective teams and yeah, the odds are not very promising to bet on either teams, planning to go for multi bets in EPL matches.

[Vishnu.Reang]

Surprised that no one could accurately predict the margin for the first match. 7 out of 20 correctly predicted the winner, but none of them got the margin right. I was expecting MI to win the match, so didn't won any points. Never expected a batting collapse from MI after such a good start. And even after that I was hopeful, until Sam Curran came to the crease. He made the difference at the end.

Not that bad either. I have placed bets for Delhi to win @1.7 which I think good enough. After the match starts, if Delhi can get a better position at beginning, the odd will likely be decreased and I don't want to take that risk 
KL Rahul had a good season last year, I almost forgot about the last season.

[Pffrt]

What a bad start by Delhi!
Shami and Cottrel is having good bowling while I expected Cottrel to have a nightmare to be honest. Jsraw. you were right, man. I would rather wait and bet for Delhi now, would get a good odd of 3.01 at the moment. Well, having a score of 150+ would be good I think and it's still possible from current situation if Pant and Iyer can build a glod partnership.

Guess you should have taken JSRAW's advice. When it comes to T20 matches especially IPL, its always best to place live bets when the results are almost unpredictable.
Now I feel that it was a good thing that I changed my pick from DC to KXIP The current runrate is very low, I'm expecting a target score around 130 runs if things dont go downhill and that too is not so good for DC.

Edit: Damn.. 30 runs in the last over.. all praise to Stoinis.. DC should be happy with their current score. But I still think KXIP will win this match.

KXIP are off to an awesome start thanks to Rahul and I hope DC removes him asap since I bet on DC. Shreyas probably needs to bring in their spinners early to dispatch the top order quickly since their pace bowlers aren't performing well.

KXIP can easily win this one unless DC manage to pick wickets consistently(Primarily Maxwell and Rahul). Lets see what happens.

[akhjob]

^ And just like KXIP are 3 wickets down   Ashwin picks 2 wickets in his first over. Now I'm not very sure how this is going to end. Only hope is on Maxwell now. Hope he performs well.

Edit: Maxwell also gone. 44-4 in 8 overs
Looks like Ashwin got injured after picking the wickets. 55-5 

[RapTarX]

Damn! I thought it would be an easy win and will get another point tonight but Ashwin has ruined the party. Sad to see Ashwin got injured though. Who is going to lead the pool if Delhi win the match? I haven't checked the orediction yet.
Punjab need to reshape the batting line up I guess. They don't have much batsman who can they depend on.

[akhjob]

Just wow.. some extraordinary innings from Mayank Agarwal under pressure and when everyone were thinking that KXIP is going to win Stoinis took two back to back wickets. We have a super over  

[JSRAW]

Damn super over haha

[erikalui]

Damn super over haha

Second match and we have a super over already lol...This was really tricky as they had 3 balls and lost 2 wickets instead

[akhjob]

Ok Delhi wins. Lowest super over target. 3 runs needed   All of Mayank's effort gone to waste.

[SaShiRaJaVu]

I picked Punjab to win the match and it was really close and if not for that big shots when they just need a run to win the match they would have won it easily, but i did not understand this super over, only 3 balls bowled, is it because they lost 2 wickets and they already lost 8 wickets in the match, was this the rule from the beginning.

[RapTarX]

Drama over drama. Mayank Agarwal attitude in the 3rd ball of the last over was stupid. He could have easily taken 1 run from that ball but despite he went for long. Did that make any sense?
Seems like only Vishnu have accumulated 2 points from this match and he is leading the pool now.

[Pffrt]

If KXIP would win then the special knock by Stoinis would have gone to waste. Well I think Mayank is responsible for yesterday's loss. While it's true that he had made the match, his irresponsible short at 19.3 over which he got out was the reason to losing the match. I got remember of Misbah Ul Haque in 2007 T20 world cup 

Seems like only Vishnu have accumulated 2 points from this match and he is leading the pool now.

Vishnu is positioning 4th although having thr score as of 1st, because Vishnu win 1 match only while three other members have won both the matches but without margin.

[Fatemablabla]

What a Drama it was in super over last night. I thought finally I will get a point. But no still at zero point. Don't know what Punjab did on that super over.

Let's see what it happens in today's match. Going for Sunrisers Hyderabad. If they loose today than you can call me "Panoti"  means Ominous in hindi lol.

[Vishnu.Reang]

Yup.. at first I thought that I will get 0 points, after the match got tied. Checked the T&C again, and found that I will get full points in case DC wins the super-over. Anyway, it was a good match for me. I went for narrow DC win, because both the teams were equally strong. It was not going to be an one-sided match. But to tell the truth, never expected a tied match.

[Haunebu]

is it because they lost 2 wickets and they already lost 8 wickets in the match, was this the rule from the beginning.

You only have 2 wickets in a super over and this always the rule which is rare to witness actually. What is even rarer is seeing a team lose 2 wickets for 2 freaking runs in a super-duper. Rabada was brilliant.

Observed that you were the only one who chose a narrow win for DC. I expected them to win comfortably though, but Mayank took it all the way to the last over.
