What a bummer for Rajasthan Royals. They should have saved the game atleast here in Sharjah. Their bowlers did a fantastic job by restricting opposition at below par total but batsmen let them down completely.

A nice and smooth victory for DC. Started round 4 with a victory. But I think getting the margin point is very hard. I still didn't get any margin points so far. If I select the result narrow it will be comfortable always lol. Though nobody got MP today so still equal to others.

[JSRAW]

From last couple of matches bowlers are in command and creating problems for almost all batsmen. Bowlers are bowling too good and Batsmen putting up bad show or pitches behaving completely different now? Good for competition point of view but now missing the big run chase with tons of 6s-4s.

Karthik repeating his Nidahas cameo again

Wow, KKR won the match by 2runs. Finally I think I got a margin point lol. Selected KKR with narrow victory. The app still not updated.
Going with RCB in the 2nd match of today hopefully they will again with CSK who is not in a good form this year.

[JSRAW]

Lol Deja Vu moment for Punjab.

Opener staying till the end, chasing target beautifully and gave up his wicket at the wrong time.

Feeling really bad for KXIP I was sure today they are going to win this match by thrashing and this could be really good for them but now after watching result feeling its look like KKR winning just because of Bengali Magic.

[RapTarX]

What a nightmare for KXIP! They have had chance for easy win but dramatically the match was won by KKR. What a shit match it was!
Have picked CSK, RCB is playing too slowly to score 160 even; Paddikkel is gone now. As always, they had such huge long batting line up but no score from them.

Nightmare indeed. I observed that Punjab needed 24 runs from 20 balls and still had 9 freaking wickets in hand. The odds were probably 1.01 in Punjab's favor, but I was shocked to see Punjab destroy themselves once again.

Pooran didn't need to go for the big shots. Singles would have sufficed. On top of that, I have no idea why they sent the newbie before Maxwell even if he has been out of form recently. Punjab are almost out now.

[JSRAW]

^^ So far their tactics are worst in this season, 7 games and they are still figuring out their playing XI. They literally threw away 3 games from very dominating situation so they surely deserve to kicked out from the tournament. Punjab cant rely on openers too much, unfortunately both rahul- Mayank not finishing game as well.

[eaLiTy]

Kings XI Punjab needs to replace Anil Kumble if they need to win T20 matches, from a winning position they lost the match, instead of sending Glenn Maxwell they sent Prabhsimran Singh and these wonderful decisions are holding the team in this tournament.

Chennai Super Kings are back again doing what they know best chasing a winning total while wasting a good amount of balls thinking someone would magically cover up those wasted balls  , looks like they will never change by learning from their mistakes.

They need a change in captaincy perhaps. Rahul is not exactly captain material. I don't understand the logic of including so many inexperienced players in the playing XI, when they don't have a slot for Chris Gayle. I am not against including rookies, but that should not be at the expense of more talented players. And also, I don't know for how long they are going to stick with Glenn Maxwell.

Another worst performance from CSK. Good bowling from RCB bowlers. CSK batting lineup is getting worse day by day. They need some change on the batting order I think. Don't see any chance for CSK this season right now if they play like this.
Btw 3win on the 3matches of round 4. Not a bad start for me.

Was surprised to see CSK struggling against RCB so badly. Felt good to see Anushka cheering on her husband though since he was the game-changing here. His upcoming kid would be proud.

CSK are over-dependent on their top order these days just like SRH. Their middle order needs to perform if they want to get back to their winning ways.

There is possibility of him being rusting on his first game but he definitely provides some sort of relief at middle order, which is in very bad shape atm. Situation is bit tricky for Royals, Sanju showed one more time that he's not consistent with the bat. Smith only performed at the Sharjah but failed during his last inning, not to mention he's really struggling at other venue. Yashavi jaiswal performance is disappointing so far and Butler is not doing justice to his reputation so it would be pretty tough to break the shackles of 4 consecutive loss.

Hey man your bad luck has touched me now. I have not won even a single bet from last 4-5 days. It's sheer bad luck on this side now. What all did you do to get this bad luck away?

The tournament has really shaped out pretty different now. In the beginning it seemed likr every team would give it's competition but now it literally feels that 4-5 teams who could get in playoffs are almost certain. If Rajasthan loses today kxip and rajashthan would almost be out of this tournament. Pretty similar is the case with CSK. I wish RR win today.

This can be the life-changing moment for Rajasthan Royals. Middle order was their sole issue. They have very strong top order (Samson, Smith, Buttler.etc) and good pace bowling lineup (Archer, Tyagi.etc). The addition of Stokes transform Rajasthan Royals to one of the most perfectly balanced teams in this IPL. On top of that, his addition to the team should lift the morale as well.

[Fatemablabla]

What a match it was!! SRH lost the match for their bowling. It was 54 for 24 balls for RR. They won the match from here. The last partnership was amazing. After 4 consecutive losses finally RR won a match.
Let's see what happens in the next match today of MI vs DC. Going for DC.

[JSRAW]

Everyone should bow down to Lord Tewatia, he can do anything on his day. No one even expecting that they could win the game after losing Stokes-Buttler-Smith-Samon but Tewatia has other plans as he's one true demi god who could %$k up all your calculation anytime

Rajasthan had lost all four of their last matches, and no one really expected them to win after losing the 5th wicket. A lot was expected him from Ben Stokes, but he departed too soon. Samson was the last hope, but he became the 5th wicket to fall. The SRH bowlers were doing exceptionally well until then, and no one really thought they would go for so many runs. After the 15th over, 65 runs were needed, at 13 runs per over. But as you said, nothing is impossible for Lord Tewatia.
