Chris lynn ran out his skipper now he needs to contribute big if he wants to stay in the team, otherwise De Cock is going to replace him soon. Lucky for Chris that he's in quarantine atm.

In today's match, I bet for Mumbai Indians. Mumbai has given a target of 160 runs. Pollard and Krunal's batting disappointed me. If they could have done a little better, MI could have scored more than 180 runs. MI's squad includes specialist bowlers like Bumrah and Boult. Hopefully they will win.

Due to extreme excitement, I was run out of time to pick a team in superbru,,

Same here. I have placed bet for MI to win while in this pool, I'm with RCB to win the match. The match is in favor of RCB now; last over was a crucial one for RCB and Villiars took the opportunity.
Just saying, you will get a default pick in case you don't pick any team but number of default pick has limitations too.

A very interesting match you have to say. I almost expected the match would end up in a tie leading to super over. But I think the single my Mohammad Siraj was the big game-changer to be honest. That actually gave Harshal Patel Strike and he has the ability to hit the ball. But hats off to ABD you have to agree. I read a meme on Instagram and I think it's absolutely true that Cricket should be honored to have a player like AB Devillers playing it. He is so good and gets better in such situations when his team requires it. Even at the time of run out, I was surprised to see his dive. He was at least 13-14 feet away from the crease that he decided to dive, who would say he is 37 by looking at this level of fitness? But yes even the throw was too good by Krunal Pandya, a lightning throw and great work by Ishan Kishan too.

Sorry for the losing bet. No luck for me too LOL

Never mind. We have only three guys who were able to get some points, and it looks like JSRAW got extreme luck. We will see how long he goes. Usually he is the one who always run out of luck :-D

A very interesting match you have to say.

Good to see a close match and since I was taking MI's side, I was expecting a miracle for them even knowing that they will lose the match. They had AB on the pitch, so there were no hope for MI, but his run out had them some hope although defending 2 runs from 2 balls is very rare. Overall good match. Kohli and co can enjoy their time until the next match :-D

Hahah Honestly speaking RCB is looking a very good team on paper. I think it has great batting combination now but they will struggle to find their bowling combination. Harshal Patel to my surprise bowled extremely well today in death. I was expecting Saini to play but surprisingly RCB went with Harshal- Siraj but I think in a game where this pair would bowl second defending runs due to the pressure situations but let's see. Second thing is spin. Sundar opening the innings has given RCB freedom to play with both Chahal and Sundar but I think Sundar will end up being better bowler for sure. Chahal more or less like Kuldeep Yadav has lost his charm.

[JSRAW]

Close inauguration match and i didn't get to watch the ending. I dozed off 

I told you guys that Mumbai is very consisting team on losing every first game of the IPL and they want to keep the status quo. Now they are going to come back strongly like they always do.

Glenn Maxwell actually a very good addition to RCB team.
A team with Glenn Maxwell, Kohli, AB - it gives goosebump even when you think. On paper RCB were always good team but unfortunately their run for IPL in every season do not go longer. I hope this year they change their trend.

Today CSK vs DC. Who is going to win? I am backing up the senior citizens.

[JSRAW]

^^ They always had gun batting and bowling line up tho, our boy Virat is tragedy king so we can't blame him much

----
 Delhi's 2 premier bowlers (Rabada, Nortje) are missing so backing CSK as well, already put bet on them now waiting for toss then will change my pick on pool too.
CSK playing with 4 quality all rounders (Jaddu, Curran, Moeen, Bravo) and 1 semi allrounder(Lord Thakur).

[Haunebu]

CSK recovered well after a couple of early losses primarily thanks to Raina, Ali and Rayudu. Am enjoying CSK's performance so far.

CSK have a deep batting line-up which is the primary reason why I decided to bet on CSK in this match. Even the bowlers like Thakur and Curran can bat well. DC is clearly missing Iyer, Rabada and Patel.

[Swordsoffreedom]

Chennai Super Kings set a target of 189 runs for Delhi Capital. CSK's two openers were completely failures in today's match. CSK scored only 48 runs in the first 8 overs. Suresh Raina played a remarkable inning of 54 runs off 36 balls. Curran has played a great inning of 34 runs off only 15 balls. In today's match, I bet for Delhi Capital. They have some great batsmen in their squad. Their squad has been formed mainly by focusing on the batting lineup. It will not be too difficult for them to win by batting for 189 runs.

@Vaskiy, it's a restricted pool buddy. Please read the OP.


CSK are at the top right now. I enjoyed the battle between the two English brothers. The younger one totally destroyed the elder one. Imagine the elder one is giving an eye to Sam :-P

I have gone with DC unfortunately LOL

Hope you do not lose your bet today too. DC are balanced team. Chasing 189 will not be easy, but they have the depth.  So, let's stay positive.

I was hoping bit of sledging between them or at least some cold stares but both are nice boys and they were only smiling at each others innocently.

3 left handers did well for CSK (Raina, Curran, Jadeja) now time for Dhawan, Pant, Hetmeyar? My money on the CSK but I'm happy as long as match goes to the last over, doesn't matter who wins.

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

Nah, just kidding. CSK should win at any cost.

The left handers of Delhi Capitals have begun their performance. The power play is getting used well, both Dawan and Prithvi Shah has been maintaining the run rate above 10. More the early score makes helps the middle order have less pressure if there happens unexpected wicket fall. In 5 overs Delhi Capitals have scored 58, and taking wickets is a must for the winning of CSK. If this continues for the next few overs then Delhi Capitals winning gets confirmed.

Dhawan and Shaw are making it look like it's so easy. Ball was swinging so nicely for the Delhi bowlers and even the commentators said that pitch would get better as the game goes on but to our surprise Chennai bowlers are struggling badly. They aren't just able to crack the code of the pitch. To be honest this isn't the Champion CSK now. It's looking pretty much like an average team.

Yesterday, I was in a very bad mood, so I did not reply to anyone. Actually, Mumbai had a very good team but my bad Luck.
Feeling very good today, yesterday's loss has been successfully recovered today. Today's field was a batting pitch so we won comfortably with a target of 189 runs. Congratulations to all who picked Delhi today.

Bhai take a chill pill...
And if you're gambling just to recover your loss then i'm sorry to say that you're doing it all wrong. Win-loss is part of the game (most of the time loss). I remember Royse lost big on the last WC when he put his money on Aussie team and i lost big during last IPL (42ish bets out of 60 lol). So i understand that sometime things get out of the hand when you lose big bets or on losing streak but its part of the deal. I would suggest that don't forget the fun part when chasing the winning combination. (I started betting with fiat now, no more btc bets  )

[buwaytress]

Cricket nobody here but I managed to snag a pretty cool special at 11/1 here. Was a tip from Brett Lee and I just blindly followed - Delhi Capitals to have top batter, Over 29.5 4s and Over 13.5 6s, and DC win. How close was the actual results? All I know is it hit, as it got settled as a win;)

Still looking at outrights here on IPL winner while the comp's still alive -- any tips from anyone?

One of them was a stake of over 0.055 BTC which is in today's rate over $3,285 (WTH!!!) :-D

Arg!!!! Read the rules @buwaytress :-P
Never mind I know you are not those typical sig spammers, but rules are rules. Are you going to join us? :-D

Jokes aside:
Delhi Capitals to have top batter : Shikhar Dhawan scored 85 runs where the top score from CSK was 54. You won it by very wide margin
Over 29.5 4s : 24 fours from DC and 16 fours from SCK means you won this one too by wide margin.
Over 13.5 6s: Six 6s from DC and 10 from CSK meaning again another wide margin for you.
And finally DC to win and of course they won.

You won it pretty easily bud :-D

Congratulations!

The most successful two teams are: CSK and MI. Take this as a hint but it's really hard to tell who will win the trophy.

CSK was a very good team, but that was a decade back. And the problem for them is that the same players are still representing the franchise even now. They seems to have learnt no lessons from their experience during last year's edition, as the team is still full of players who are above 40 years of age. Take out Suresh Raina, Sam Curran and Ravindra Jadeja, and CSK would be having zero chance of victory against any of the other franchises in the IPL.
