Bitcointalk IPL Prediction Pool & Discussion

What the hell happened here?? These things make me feel that is IPL fixed? Two set batsmen and you enter in 20th over to find only 4 runs, after scoring 180 runs you can't even get last 4 runs in that over, in fact even the second last over was wasted by KXIP, two major errors were the No-Balls that weren't given by the umpire as well as third umpire, 2 no balls were the 2 runs from which Punjab lost the match. If KXIP cannot win this match after coming so far ahead in the game then they really don't deserve to be in the top 4 in any case.

KXIP needed 8 run from 12 and 4 from last 6 balls. I don’t know why the hell KXIP do this all the time at the last hour. It was supposed to be an easy win but they ended up being a shit. Is it fix or the beauty? I don’t know. I don’t have a word to say here.

Was expecting to win 1-2 points since I predicted Punjab would win and ended up losing thanks to one of the biggest upsets that I have seen in a Cricket match so far.

They needed 10 runs from 15 balls with 8 freaking wickets remaining and managed to lose by 3 runs. This should be registered as a record(Most embarassing ending) in my opinion.

I feel sad for Rahul primarily. Also, I don't think this is fixed since Punjab have messed up in similar ways in recent IPL seasons.

It's not beauty. The entire match was under the control of KXIP. The match was under Punjabi control from the start due to the remarkable batting skills of KL Rahul and Agarwal. But they could not collect only 8 runs in the last 12 balls. But I feel a little bad for Agarwal and Rahul. The team could not win even after batting so well.

Bet on the underdog(SRH) against DC and it looks like my risk didn't pay off thanks to SRH's pathetic batting and bowling performances. I think that they have zero chances of making it to the playoffs this time around.

Also, google scores are glitchy and messed up weirdly(Rabada was missing from the bowlers list and Shaw wasn't listed in the lineup).

Forgot to make a pick today, I think this way I am going to fall down the list too quickly, SRH's problem was the batting performance that they did, without Kane the team looks amateur on the top, it's only Warner leading from the front and obviously, it's not the old golden years of Warner when he used to pick the whole batting up just by himself, now he isn't in that good of a form, Saha, Pandey, Jadhav have remained inconsistent in their batting performances since the inception of IPL, so the only person carrying the batting is Warner, Abdul Samad did his part, he is a pinch hitter not in the team for big innings. DC on the other side has one of the best and in form batting lineups in the whole IPL.

Today, Mumbai Indians gave Kolkata a target of 156 runs. It is not easy to win with a target of 156 runs on this type of pitch. However, if Mumbai's bowlers can bowl in a controlled manner from the start of the match, then Mumbai has a chance. But I do not think so. Kolkata scored 40 runs in 3 overs. They need 116 runs from 102 balls to win. Not a difficult task.

V. Iyer is the boost that KKR needed in the second leg of this season. Whoever chose him needs to get a raise. KKR batting and bowling have improved a lot in recent matches.

Also, just checked the Superbru picks and was surprised to see that I am the only person who chose KKR over MI. I didn't get the margin point though since I didn't expect KKR to decimate MI in such a fabulous manner.

I am too busy these days, forget about picking a team I barely know who all are playing for the day, but I think I should try to pick for next 3-4 matches in one day so that I don't miss the chance to pick a team.

Talking about V.Iyer has batted like a legend, no one can say he was playing his debut match, secondly, Rahul Tripathi is playing as if he is angry with selectors for not even considering him in international cricket, KKR batting lineup now looks so good that They don't even need Morgan and Russel to make big impactful scores. 4 youngsters, Shubhman, Iyer, Rana, and Tripathi are enough to back the whole batting.

KKR had nothing to lose when 2nd leg started so their batters playing aggressively and one would say that team management also backing them, no matter if they lose the wicket or not.  If they continue winning then i think play off seems very much possible.

They didn't care about any bowler's reputation last night lol. Indian team need such young batters in T-20.

Their batting line-up combo of domestic and overseas players has always been praiseworthy, but they were never consistent which seems to be changing thanks to their performances in recent matches.

They are already in the top 4 currently. Their chances of qualifying are pretty high thanks to their NRR, but they need to keep winning couple more matches as you mentioned.

I was watching the 2nd innings. Even Bumrah, Boult were looking nervous against the KKR batsmen LOL

The pool sucks for me. So far was able to collect only 2 points. Whatever I pick turns out wrong for me :-D

They were sitting at bottom 2 before second leg kicked in.

Same story for everyone, grass is definitely greener on the other side. hehe

[RapTarX]

Will RCB be able to win today? I placed a bet for them but the score so far isn't satisfying so far. In the 2nd leg, it turns out a nightmare for me in the pool. I'm barely winning match now. Is it 1 point in 5/6 matches, or 2? I need to check out LOL.

[JSRAW]

This tells the complete story. Mumbai Indians had the more or less same track data last night.

Things looking bad for the Royals because this is below par score at Sharjah and its very small ground. Koach & Co need to ball really tight spells.

Lord Thakur doing his sorcery , again n again and no one is there to stop him or ban him for life.

RCB did what they do so well. They had a great start, and then wasted it. During the last 5 overs, they scored 38 runs, at the loss of 5 wickets. None of the batsmen, apart from the openers (Devdutt Padikkal and Virat Kohli) contributed for RCB. After 13th over, they were 111/0, and they ended up at 156/6 in 20 overs. Tim David generated a lot of hype prior to the start of the second leg, but he failed today. Same was the case for AB de Villiers and Glenn Maxwell. One player to watch for during the chase is Wanindu Hasaranga. I want to see how Dhoni handles him.   

[Haunebu]

Missed the margin point once again. Damn. RCB were flying at one stage and messed up towards the end while all the CSK batsmen performed well as expected. Even Raina got going towards the end along with MSD.

CSK pretty much qualified for the playoffs with an incredible NRR while DC pretty much qualified too. SRH looks like they are out of the race. This implies that the remaining teams will fight for that 1 freaking spot. Exciting!

I am feeling sad for Captain Kohli, I am not his die-hard fan but every person deserves a winning farewell especially when you haven't won this trophy throughout your career, but honestly, RCB in the second phase looks entirely different from the team in the first phase, Despite having such a powerful batting line up on paper all their star batsmen are struggling with their form including the captain himself, even today's 50 from VK went to vain due to slow Strike Rate towards death and absolutely zero support from the middle order, won't blame the bowlers for this because conditions in UAE are entirely different from conditions in India for bowlers.

We need to check his picks.
BitcoinGirl.Club is on to something. He won 5 out of 6 game in this round, Bravo!!! and couple of game were upsets, i'm not winning anything so his picks are my new base template for the next 4 games (this round only).

One of the reason he's called Panuti. I feel for him too but only in ICC tourny because of my vested interest. Don't care much if he win or not in the IPL. His team can bounce back tho, they are still at 3rd place so their play off chances are better than bottom 5.
