Shane Watson played all the 13 matches for CSK so far in this season and scored just 251 runs (average of 19.30 and S/R of 127.41). It sums up the attitude of the teams during this season. They want unchanged squads and will never drop any of their star players, even if they performs pathetically. Watson is 38 years old and he must think about retirement.

The CSK management is happy with their team. It's a good sign that they are confident and have trust in their players. This eventually help the player to play without any stress.

About Watson, format like T20 does not require much hard labour comparing with ODI and Test. If someone is in good shape and form then they can easily play for long run. Form is important.

This is the main reason no one takes pressure in CSK team no matter win or lose. everyone looks always relaxed except Ambati Raydu

CSK's owner gives complete freedom to team and take care of their players like a family. seen many interviews of CSK's players and every one says the same.

[erikalui]

CSK has been the team who has mostly retained their players and that's the reason their team has been the most stable team in IPL. Other teams keep changing their players thinking bringing experienced players will help the team but the main thing is team unity as players need to bond with each other well.

Waiting to see how many runs CSK will make as even DC is a strong team and both are fighting for the 1st spot. CSK need to improve their run rate too as they are the only ones with a negative run rate in the top 4. Dhoni is batting now so hope they make 200+.

They finally scored 179 by losing 4 wickets. It was Dhoni who again played a quick knock. 44 runs from 22 balls.

In response DC so far scored 63 by losing 2 wickets after 6.1 balls.

EDIT: They lost another wicket. Pant is out! CSK is looking good.

As expected, MSD turned the tides for CSK once again. Absolute awesomeness. DC was in a good position, but their constant loss of wickets is piling up more pressure on Iyer who is the set batsman out there.

If no one supports him, it is game over for DC.

CSK is nothing without Dhoni. That was proven last and this match too.


CSK team is lacking run making in the 1st power play, if there is any opener take charge they have more opportunity to win this series. Now DC started loosing wickets and spinners on CSK also seems capitalize the match and picking the wickets now.


Now DC, 4th wicket down for 66.

Dhoni is always the saviour for CSK.

Anyway, DC lost another wicket which means they are 4 down now. If they can not make a partnership now then expecting anything from this match for DC is a waste of time. Game already turned to CSK's favor.

Very true. He is the key of the CSK team. I love the way he control his team mates.

179 is still less for a team like DC and even though they lost 4 wickets, Iyer's innings have been really good. Many teams have lost more than 5 wickets in the first 10 overs but have still managed to chase down below 180 runs so hoping this game doesn't turn and CSK manage to get the first spot. CSK had scored 50 in 8.5 overs and DC have already passed it scoring 75 runs.

[onrise]

What a match this has turn out to be. DC who have being playing so well got a real bad match today where they could not even score 100 run chasing 180 runs and lost by a margin of 80 runs. This will be a alarming sign for DC as they had played some good cricket in this tournament.

[erikalui]

Iyer getting out just took away their little chances of winning the match. They started badly and ended miserably but am glad CSK is now at the top with a good RR of 0.209 and DC's is negative. Imran and Jadeja's bowling was fab.

I bet on DC and made the wrong choice here. I honestly thought that this match would go down to the wire. Unbelievable result. Who could have expected DC losing by such a large margin?

How does MSD do it every single time? Sometimes, I still wish he remained the captain of the Indian team though Kohli is a good captain himself.

MSD is simply the best captain in the world and i am not sure why he is not captaining the team for the world cup, you could understand the contrasting difference when it comes to the difficult situation RCB is facing with Kohli as captain and how smooth sailing CSK is under the captaincy of MSD, i am sure the performance in the IPL has taken a toll on Kohli as a captain with all the losses he had and it might impact his performance in the world cup, MSD always produces magic in the field, the stumping to dismiss Shreyas Iyer was magical and i am not sure whether we will see a player like MSD, one of a kind player.

[Sithara007]

Just when it looked like DC were on the top of their game, they got destroyed by the CSK. Perhaps they got carried away too early. When Trent Boult and J Suchith were bowling so well early in the innings, I thought CSK would struggle even to score 120. But in the end they made close to 180 (And that was after scoring just 3 runs from the first 3 overs). This is what experience can do for a team. Players such as Dhoni and Harbhajan Singh held their nerves and made sure that they get the maximum points from this game.

That's how Delhi's team perform "Harakiri"

First with the ball despite getting a quick wicket and then with the bat in the second inning. they were in good position when Sikhar and Shreyas keeping the score board moving but after Sikhar its another way around. 52-2 and 99-10 tells all the story here.

Rishabh failed again 

@Royse : congratulation for your win

Completely true. It remains to be seen if Kohli can get his act together after such a horrible season with RCB in the upcoming World cup tournament. The good thing is that MSD will help him out whenever necessary and this is what the Indian team needs going forward.

Looking forward to today's match, I love when it gets to the end of the season and everyone is fighting for the top playoff spots!  

Going with a comfortable win for the Mumbai Indians today, they are fighting to confirm their 3rd place finish and will hopefully be hungry for victory. Sunrisers will be without their main man Warner due to World Cup preparations, and the rest of the batting lineup have been inconsistent to say the least.

- Quinton de Kock total: Over 23.5 (1.92)
- Sunrisers Hyderabad Total Runs after 10 overs: Under 72.5 (2.46)
- Total sixes: Under 13.5 (2.04)

The Sunrisers total runs bet is an outside chance, but without Warner I'm feeling lucky  

If anyone has questions about specific lines, our margins, or backing/laying your bets then please let me know!

Makes sense. Majority are betting against SRH, but I am one of the minority who feels that they can win this one without Warner or Bairstow even though they will be playing in the backyard of MI.

If SRH bowl well, they can take the game away in a flash.

My pick is also SRH today.
I think SRH will give their best to stay in the competition today and they are capable of it.

MI is betting right now and after 7 over they scored 53 for 1 wicket.

I think you meant batting instead of betting(Lol). Anyway, Hardik has just come out and he will be the man to target since his form has been spectacular at present.

This will be interesting to watch.
