Lol. This is weird. Also, it looks like I won my bet by betting on Rajasthan and they pulled through after an amazing over by Bumrah towards the end. I hope I win my bet on RCB in the upcoming match too.

If the 2nd innings wins then sure you are going to win this RCB one too :-)

My bad luck that I can not bet since I am having trouble sending BTC to my gambling account LOL. I am still considering to bet for KXIP. The rate is good for them which is tempting me LOL

This match is going to be a tight one. Kohli just got out and its basically 50-50 at this point. I hope AB sticks till the end and the remaining RCB batsmen need to support him out in the middle. If RCB lose this one, I think they might set a new record of 7 losses in a row in the IPL.

If KXIP can take AB de Villiers then the match will be in KXIP's control. Few minutes ago I was telling my brother in law that RCB always play good at the start and then at the end they lose control. This team is very much dependent in Kohli and AB de Villiers.

Anyway, last two balls two fours. Seems like they have a chance but I am not still sure about RCB. Any moment they can lose AB de Villiers and then game is off for them.

Let's see what we have today. It's getting exciting.

ROFLMAO.... RCB manages to win a match.. finally... But the overall team composition looks extremely weak. Parthiv Patel had another failure today. Moeen Ali was useful with the ball, but he has not scored the runs till now. And their bowling lineup looks like the weakest for any team in this tournament. Mohammed Siraj had yet another horrible match and Umesh Yadav has gone wicketless for the last three matches (after conceding 129 runs in 11.5 overs).

They did it finally. Won 2 bets today. Heck yeah! RCB is heavily dependent on Kohli and De Villiers(Batting) and Chahal(Bowling) which is why they have losing consistently. This is a problem they need to fix to improve their performance in this season and future seasons.

The confidence you had to wage a bet on RCB is outstanding and it looks like you had a wonderful day when it comes to IPL as you won both your bets and there by RCB winning their first match in the tournament, they have the weakest bowling line up and Gayle was smashing them i thought they will get past 200 runs but somehow they manage to restrict them within that total and glad that we did not see that sad face of Kohli today, but he dropped some catches today in the field.

Young talented RCB pace bowler called Saini bowled well even there is no help for the bowlers which helps KXIP to get restricted under 200 and the chase is also right on top from beginning and even at the end there is slight decline in the score when Kohli got out but ABD and Stoinis managed to knock bowl at the right time.It is sad to see Gayle missed century by 1 run.

Thanks. It was my lucky day. Kept betting on RCB continuously in recent times and kept getting burnt, but RCB won at last and I am a happy guy.

From here on, RCB and Rajasthan need to win every single game in order to qualify for the playoffs.

[Pffrt]

My bad luck that I had bet for Punjab. I thought RCB will be same as previous.
My today's pick will be Chennai. Chennai is always the best choice. KKR was in right track but last days they didn't able to perform the best. The same will happen today too since it's Dhoni's CSK.

[onrise]

We can expect this time KKR to bounce back and beat the CSK and does not happen like the last match where KKR was down badly in the match.  CSK have won the toss and elected to bowl first. KKR will have to put a big total on the board in order to win this match.

Dangerous Lynn is out on 82 and Russell is also out this time easily in 10. KKR are now 134/5 in 15 overs. Karthik and Gill are batting and if they can bat for another 15 -20 balls they might reach close 175 runs. Else if they lose quick wickets CSK may keep them under 160

Looking at Tahir's bowling it's easy to say that Dhoni planned it to stop Russell. If Russell starts hitting then he knows that stopping Russell is very hard job. Eventually Russell got trapped by Tahir after hitting the six from the one ball earlier.

At one stage I thought KKR will score easily over 200 but now I think they are looking for 180 some runs. If they stop in this line then they will have to bowl really well to stop CSK.

My pick for today is CSK and in the other match SRH.

Tahir is something else. The way CSK pulled the game back in the final overs was sublime. Teams usually give 40-50 in the last couple of overs, but CSK gave away less than 20 runs due to amazing bowling towards the end of the game.

It was good bowling show by CSK however they are struggling in betting now. They just lost their 4th wicket.

This is what I am seeing CSK needs to improve,
They are not having good starts in their matches. The openers are failing. Everything in run chase or even when they are betting first, we are seeing they are rescuing the team from their 5th wicket partnership. Today they will have to do that as well. If Dhoni is out then it will be hard for them to chase the total. So far he is looking good. I hope Raina will support him.

CSK chased down the total successfully without any issues. Someone always steps up for CSK when needed which is why I consider this team as the T20 version of the Australian team.

Jadeja stepped up this time along with Raina and they chased down the total quite easily. Also, I lost my bet.

[erikalui]

Suresh Raina without getting out is back in form and now again won the match against KKR. In any case the runs were too less to chase down. Sunil was the only one who bowled well while the team was disappointing. The best thing about CSK is that it's not just one player that performs but all put in their contribution for the team, hence the result.

This was one of those matches that the Knight Riders should have won. But as you said, their bowling was pathetic (apart from Sunil Narine). I don't understand why Prasidh Krishna is a regular in the KKR starting XI. IMO, Sandeep Warrier is a much better opening bowler.

Good to see CSK to win another match. After Dhoni's out I thought CSK will lose the track but thanks to Jadeja that he not only played a good innings but also gave good support to Raina till the end.

In the 2nd match, my pick is SRH and I hope they win the match. So far they are looking good. May be few more wickets will do the job easier.

I chose SRH too. At present, DC are playing admirably and I think that they might post a total close to 180 if Pant and Shreyas continue to play the way that they are playing. SRH need to bat brilliantly if they want to win this one!

Shreyas gone by the bouncer delivery from B Kumar.

I think DC will score 160+ runs. Chasing 160+ runs should not be very challenging for SRH. The team has the betting strength unless they lose quick wickets.

Ahmed took some wickets but his economy is not good. He is doing his last over and I hope he does not give much run in this over.

Edit: A full toss ball but Pant out. Good thing for SRH. Ahmed wanted to deliver a Yorker but ended up with a full toss however getting the wicket should feel him good.

[Vishnu.Reang]

Both Rishabh Pant and Dinesh Karthik disappointed the fans today. The selectors will be even more confused now about the extra wicket keeper slot in the world cup squad (I would go with Rishabh Pant, although he didn't scored any half centuries during the last 7 IPL matches).
