Kolkata wasn't able to score at death overs. Have you seen they had 93 runs from the first 10 overs? And only 74 runs in the last 10? Kolkata's management doing a very poor job. They are not giving Morgan enough time to play. How come they sent Narine at 4? Score could have been better.
This should be an easy chase unless anything goes wrong. CSK seems to come back again.

After first Ten overs I was sure KKR will manage 190 to 200 runs but they done very bad job in death overs which is going to cost them in this match and now with this win CSK is going back in business sending Narain first is really poor decsion by management in next matches they surely think about this if they want to stay in this IPL for play off's.

@akram143, please read the local rules. I have reported your posts to be deleted.

One more point for me but the sad part is that I had "comfortable" win for KKR but then I changed it to "easy" win and lost the margin point :-(
7 points in the round so far is not bad for me but if I could have couple margin points then I would have a chance with hector (amishmanish). dealey has a chance to steal the round winner prize from hector if in the last match deadly has a margin point and hector could not manage any point.



Good luck you two :-D

Atlast got two win in last two matches but unfortunately didn't get the margin point. Was busy with the work so couldn't play this round with gull concentration. Hoping to get a good result in next round. Good luck to the round toppers.

Well this round is turning out to be a nightmare for me. Was today's match fixed or what? I saw 90 in first 10 overs by CSK and then went for a short nap thinking that today I would win both the game point and the margin point. I woke up and CSK needed 24 runs of 6 balls with none other than the most aggressive player in CSK on Strike Mr. Kedar Jadhav on strike. He pretty nicely played the first ball I applauded because I thought that foolish man had taken a single and given strike to Jadeja but then I saw he didn't run?? Why on the Earth would he do that?? From where has he got this type of Confidence? There was definitely a run on that ball even if he had been run out because there was DJ Bravo who was next? Why in CSK everyone is trying to play selfish cricket this time? This was a pretty easy win for CSK initially even if KKR made a comeback I saw 31 in last 11 balls was still achievable if you have DJ Bravo still in dug out.

Actually I am happy with so many win, otherwise I am not good on pre match and for me I put comfortable margin in every match, so it doesn't matter to me. I am here just for fun, so don't care if I win or not.

My forte is inplay betting and picking side in crucial moments.

So Dhoni keeping Kedar Jadav in the team so that everyone can blame Kedar and forget about Dhoni's inning?

Kedar Jadhav is someone who seems to enjoy support among the powerful circles. Despite his age and repeated poor performances, somehow he finds a slot in the playing XI (for both the CSK and the national team). That said, it is Suresh Raina's absence which is doing the most damage to the CSK middle order. Even if they want to replace Kedar, only available options are Murali Vijay and Ruturaj Gaikwad.

That is true. For CSK I would say it's fine because you want an experienced player in your side who can bat during tough times so even if he isn't a big hitter it doesn't matters much. But yes for playing XI of national team he is favoured too much. But I think even that would now become a thing of past as it was prevalent primarily due to the CSK quota in the Indian team.

Yes Suresh Raina has always been the most important anchor of CSK he has always batted well in middle order. I was surprised when management said that they will be unaffected by Suresh Raina going back. Somehow they were merely justifying their ego and nothing else. CSK's middle order needs someone who can sometimes provide a slow innings to prevent quick fall of wickets and sometimes be aggressive enough to chase big targets and Raina did this very well.

This is going to be an interesting round and winner will be decided only after today match. And interestingly both contenders have different choices for today’s match. So, if deadley gets it right and gets the margin correct then he wins this round else it is hector winning this round. Best luck to both of you.

He's not coming back in the international team anymore, that's my observation.

But don't want to shit on him much either, i did same with the Tewatia and Mohammed Siraj and look what they did

So don't want to jinx Kedar's Mojo otherwise he might come back in the Indian team.

It is more or less certain that hector will win this round (#3). He is far ahead of the others with 10 points from 8 matches. Deadley is second with just 8 points. None of the others have 8 or more points in this round and only one match is remaining (KXIP vs SRH). Even if Deadley gets 2 points, he won't be able to overtake hector. Anyway... let's see what happens today. Both of them have picked opposing teams for today's match.

Social media was not easy on Kedar Jadhav, my jaw dropped when he started showing his defensive skills when the run rate was rising and  he was not even trying to knock the ball around and rotate the strike but he was showing solid defense. Many in the social media were calling to present the man of the match award to Kedar Jadhav for single handedly helping KKR to win the match. They should have sent Bravo and i am sure the results would have being different.

[Pffrt]

I didn't notice that. hector and some other have won the same number of matches, 6 out of matches may be. But he had 4 margin points out of that 6 matches. Damn, hector has been so consistent while before this round, he barely had margin points if I'm correct.

If deadly’s choice of team win and he get the margin correct, then both will be at 10 points. But hector will have 6 win and deadly will have 7 wins and both at 10 points. So, under this circumstance deadly wins it.
This will be then same scenario as last round where we both were at same points but you had an extra win than mine, so you were awarded.

Haha social media is brutal and we all are part of it 

This season players are lucky that stands are empty otherwise imagine Tewatia's first phase of batting and whole stadium booing him..

Yes.. there is a small chance of that happening. We need to wait for another 5 hours or so to know who will be the winner of Round 3. It is very difficult to predict.. However one thing is sure. There will be only one winner. If team A wins, then Hector will be having 11 or 12 points (depending on the margin). On the other hand, if team B wins and deadley gets the margin right, then both him and hector will be left with 10 points each. But the difference is that hector will be having 6 wins and 4 margin points, while deadley will be having 7 wins and 3 margin points. So in that case it is going to be deadley.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BTW, this match is unpredictable. Both the teams have similar strengths and weaknesses. The top-order is very strong for both the teams. KL Rahul/Mayank Agarwal for KXIP and David Warner/Jonny Bairstow for SRH. On the other hand, the bowling is relatively weak. Rashid Khan is the sole bowler who had been consistent for the SRH, while for the KXIP Mohammad Shami takes that particular slot.

[RapTarX]

Will Maxwel going to boom tonight? KXIP in trouble now; have lost 3 wickets, 140 runs need 76 balls. After a long time, SRH had a good opening partnership. Good to see Bairstaw have come back.
KXIP is being poor each day although they have a good batting line up. They must have reformed their team by changing Maxwell and giving Gayle a chance.

Both these teams have good players but i give the edge to SRH because they have Rashid Khan and he is bowling tight line and length and most of the batsman avoid taking chances against him. Maxwell is run out by a direct throw but Nicholas Pooran is still in the crease and he is in great form scoring 28 runs in one over and if he continue like that there is still a chance for them to win.
