Bet on DC and am expecting them to comfortably win this one thanks to their batting lineup. Mumbai needs to improve their bowling if they want to qualify since the race is heating up currently and each match is basically a decider from now on.

DC's are taking runs comfortably, their batting line-up is good as well. I am too expecting them to win if there are no drama at the end. I hope you win your bet.

MI has some good bowlers in fact top class in the world.

Bumrah, Malinga who are very good death over bowlers. So, I would not be surprised if we see any drama in the end overs. However, finger crossd tor DC. I hope the batsmen do not waste the middle overs. We have seen in few matches that because of slow run rate in the middle overs, teams were losing even though they had a good start.

Ladies and gentlemen now there is another chance for Pant to prove his worth. Wishing him best of luck....

Yap, it was but Bumrah the future legend did not give him time to settle

Bumrah to Pant, OUT, THAT COULD BE THE GAME! The move to bring back Bumrah pays off, as he gets a length ball to nip back just a bit off the seam. Pant looks for the heave-ho down the ground, but misses the line of it. It comes in a touch and knocks his off stump out of the ground. Bumrah lets out an exultant roar. Mumbai Indians are flying at the moment, through their balanced bowling attack

I was expecting drama in the end over but falling wickets like this in the middle may not have the drama. :-)

Note: Now if the drama happens then it will happen in favour of DC :-D
74 from 26 balls. Expecting anything from DC is too much luxury.

Failed again. And once again, he wasted many balls. This is not the sort of innings that is going to get the attention of selectors such as MSK Prasad. Mumbai Indians are now having 12 points from 9 matches, but their progression to the next stage is still not 100% certain. CSK is more or less in, but for MI, DC, KXIP, SRH and KKR a lot will depend on the remaining matches.

Mumbai won the match comfortably by 40 runs and DC would definitely be unhappy as in 20 overs they could just manage to reach only 128 runs with 9 wickets. They were never enough close to give them a tough fight and just resulted in the loss of the match.

Yesterday I was expecting DC will win the match but the batting and bowling handled by MI team made all broken and reached their destination winning moment today. They make around 0.4 run rate which is higher than CSK in run rate calculation alone.

Lets believe DC will win the coming matches and make the mark on the play off with 2nd place this year. Well done Hardik to done the good score with the few balls. Maximum balls he faced per innings 19 only but won some man of the match also in this series.

[Thanasis]

Expected this answer which is silly and you know it. MSD will always be a critical part of the CSK lineup, but SRH absolutely dominated CSK and even Dhoni would most likely not make any difference.

An entire team is not equal to a single player. These are just excuses trying to justify why CSK lost.

Presence of MSD on the field will create huge difference,IMO.If you watch the matches of CSK and other teams you can find it,he can guide the whole team from behind the stupms at right time but Raina is not on the top as captain and let the match to go on side of SRH without creating any pressure at the middle overs.

Dhoni knows what to do and when to do what. You know what I meant. He is experienced, knows the weak point of batsman like me (In my childhood, one of my friend had to surrender in my plan since I knew where to bowl him to get him out, trust me, I was the only one). Anyway, none can get CSK in top without Dhoni with this team, I bet.

DC continues to disappoint. Their batting order collapses like dominoes once the set batsmen get out which is absolutely horrible and this is the reason why I strongly feel that they won't lift the cup this year even though their bowling has improved a lot.

No way that DC or MI or RCB or RR gonna lift the cup. There are may be chances for KKR, SRH, KXIP but I think CSK will take the cup again. CSK still have issues in their middle order but I am sure they will fix it very soon.

Kolkata Knight Riders vs Royal Challengers Bangalore today. My pick is Kolkata Knight Riders without any doubt. RCB is not gonna win this match since their confidence is in the bottom on the other hand a win for KKR will keep then in the race so KKR is going to take this match very seriously.

If Russell starts hitting the ball then imagine the faces of RCB bowlers and also Kohli :-P

Hmm. You might be right, but MI still have a great chance of lifting the cup. The loss of Alzarri is a big blow to them, but they still have a great lineup though. Also, I bet on RCB today. Taking my chances on the underdogs again.

Well I think CSK will be the champion. Good luck with your bet if you are going for RCB. I hope you win it. I already picked KKR in the prediction pool by the way. I really think they will win.

CSK have strong chances of winning the cup again(Would be a new record if they did), but I strongly feel that SRH or KKR could lift the cup this year. Just a hunch. The upcoming games will basically decide which teams will qualify which is why the race is heating up.

If Warner leaves the team for world cup then SRH will become weaker so their chances will be less unless they find a good replacement. Problem with SRH is that they are also struggling with their middle order.

If Jonny Bairstow and Warner performs then we see good score. When Jonny Bairstow only performs then we see good run rate. Once both these opener flops they struggle to score runs. The middle order is very vulnerable.

KKR has good chance by the way. I think their betting line-up is very strong.

[Sithara007]

RCB is off to a very weak start, against the KKR. After 2 overs, they are struggling at 7/0 with Parthiv Patel and Virat Kohli at crease. I don't know for how long the RCB management is going to tolerate Parthiv. He has been a gigantic failure so far this season. They have a very promising U-19 national player (Devdutt Padikkal). IMO, he deserves a chance this season.

They lost Patel at 18 runs. Kohli is doing well. He needs to play a good knock to have a decent score. After five over the run is 30 which looks slow rate. But if they don't lose wicket then they can score fast later of the innings.

RCB needs to score at least 180 runs to give a fight with KKR. KKR have good batting line up.

With such a weak bowling line-up, I don't think that even 180 may be enough. Dale Steyn is playing today, but I am not very excited about his current form. Steyn has replaced Umesh Yadav, but the RCB has included another out-of-form bowler (Navdeep Saini) in the final XI. They have only 4-5 matches remaining for this season. Should have given a few chances to the youngsters in place of useless players such as Saini.

At the current rate, I don't think they will end up anywhere close to 180 runs. I am expecting 160 will be the target that they will have to defend which could be tricky with the inclusion of Steyn in their side. Steyn and Chahal could turn the game.

It looked like they will struggle to score 160 but now it seems even 190+ is possible. Moin Ali is hitting. Kuldeep: 4 6 4 6 wd 6 w(Ali gone)

Total run 149 for 2 3 after 16 overs.

Edit: I would like to see him in the pitch for more two overs :-P
