Will Kolkata be a good choice today for odd below than 2? I will bet anyone once I get above 2. Otherwise, no. Both of the team is almost same, depended on certain batsman in every match.

We have some more cricket lovers here. Is it because of yobit  Just kidding.

To everyone who are new here-

SRH have won the toss and elected t field. KKR will be batting first and would like to post 200+ in order to ensure they end up winning this game considering the SRH strong batting line up as well and good bowling unit it will be a challenge for KKR

Good to see that Robin Uthappa was dropped for today's match. KKR should have done this long time back. Also, they have given chance to KC Cariappa and Prithvi Raj, after repeated failures from Kuldeep Yadav and Prasidh Krishna. I would have liked Dre Russell at no.5 or no.6, but they are once again retaining him at no.7.

They need to score at least 180, else they stand no chance against the Bairstow-Warner combo. That's why I wanted Dre to come in earlier.

RR might have a chance if they win all the remaining games but RCB already out they lost 7 matches already as per the calculations if a team lost half of the league matches then it is impossible for them to be on top 4.

Not impossible. Every game is basically a knockout game for them, but they still have a chance. The commentators themselves mentioned this after calculating everything. Their chances are indeed slim, but you never know.

Also, I lost my bet. Ronnie predicted the perfect outcome.

Sometimes Ronnie's pick surprise me. I think myself how he do it LOL
By the way, you are doing well too. From last two weeks whoever I pick they lose. I also lost lot of money in gambling too :-P

Anyway, I think today my pick will smile :-D
SRH will win.

SRH has pulled this match in a one way swing. They are 130/0 in 12 overs . Both Warner and Bairstow are hitting the ball well and have made half century. In 8 overs they now only require 30 runs. Thus KKR would just be unhappy with their performance.
 

[Pffrt]

Bad luck here. I have lost bet today. I thought KKR will have a good score, they did pretty well at first. After 13th over I didn't watch. It was probably 113 but later, they played a poor innings.
Brilliant knock by both Warner and Bairstaw.

When Warner and Bairstaw perform, SRH always get easy win. I told several times that this SRH and also CSK team has problem with their middle order. I would love to see a match where Warner and Bairstaw did not perform but SRH successfully chased and won a match.

Today's match was quite predicted after first few overs of SRH innings.

Bairstow sadly will be leaving for the World cup preparation. What a way to go. I will miss the Bairstow and Warner combo which is easily the best combo during this edition of the IPL.

With Warner leaving in a couple of games, how will SRH survive in the race? This is the big question.

Damn it! Well in that case I do not see SRH will have a good future in this IPL.
How about CSK team. Anyone is leaving from their squad?

Then the team will not stay for long time may be they will not go after the play off also. i am not sure what happened to the KKR team because last few matches they did not played well.

With the efforts of warner also they cannot survive for long time, even without him what they will do!

Am not really sure about CSK. Watson will probably stay, but Du Plessis might leave early since he is the captain of the SA team.

Tahir too might follow him, but I am not sure again.

World cup speculation ahead but tell did you watch the 1st half of CSK vs RCB match. Initial 7 overs RCB seems so strong and after that all seems turn 360 degree and CSK bowlers again capture the game on with CSK's hand.
They have the enough backup like sam billings and other players available to play for their team. I believe they win this match too.


Tahir needs to stay for caring the purple in some days soon.

[onrise]

CSK started badly and have lost 2 wickets in 7 runs only within 1.3 overs. They are  chasing a score of 162 runs and will require some of the middle order to stand and eliver if they have to win the match from here else it will be pressure on Dhoni in the end

[Vishnu.Reang]

Steyn is on fire!!!! And CSK is struggling against his firepower. They lost two very important wickets (Shane Watson and Suresh Raina) in the first over. Just proves that the RCB strategy of continuing with the under-performing bowlers was wrong. They should have replaced Mohammed Siraj and Umesh Yadav much earlier. Now it is too late for them to qualify.

[Haunebu]

MSD! Wow. I bet on CSK, but honestly felt like I won my bet thanks to this man. One of his 6's literally disappeared from the ground. What a monster. RCB still stays alive in the competition mathematically at present.

IPL never ceases to amaze me. Regained interest in Cricket again thanks to this tournament. 1 freaking run! Crazy indeed!

It was an impossible task at hand to score 26 runs in the last over with Umesh Yadav bowling and yet Dhoni almost made it to the last ball with three sixes and a four and with just 2 runs to win he went for the maximum rather than striking the ball in the gaps, either way it was a terrific display of batting under pressure and the ball was not coming on to the bat and still he managed to strike that well.

[Sithara007]

Very poor bowling from Umesh Yadav, after repeatedly failing in the previous matches. Dhoni was unlucky to miss the last ball, else he would have pulled off another miracle. RCB did the right thing by replacing Siraj with Steyn. Now they need to replace Umesh Yadav as well. Just because he is a contracted player, he can't be allowed to under-perform again and again.

Striking the last ball into the gaps is not possible because most of the fielders were set to restrict the one run so he has no other option that big hit,99% dhoni will hit those balls but no one can be cent percent that's it for that day.Takur might start to run up slowly which also caused their match if he did that one sec before then super over will be placed.

Yesterday second match was awesome, i knew that CSK captain will do something strange and he did t. 3 sixes in last over OMG, how powerful he is. The only things that spoiled the game for csk was the run out. I believe that Raydu should be replaced with some good batsman as he just consumes the ball and dont even hit a good score.

Yesterday Rayudu played decent knock,there is nothing wrong with him yesterday and he was striking the balls too hard so the chances will got for bowlers as well.The batsman need to be replaced is Watson because he is not in the form but M.Vijay is at good form so he miht have a chance in the upcoming matches.
