Without these two, SRH will be burst, I don't think SRH will have a good performance.

This will have an impact on the side as the top 2 batsman runs wise in this IPL belong to SRH and both the openers were only in form and making runs for the team. How will team make the shift that will happen once they leave is need to be seen.

Finally RCB winning matches continuously , although I feel its a bit too late as there is very small chance for them to reach playoffs , what do you guys say ? I don't see any changes in the top 3 places CSK DC and MI , the fight is for 4th place between the other teams and the KKR have lost past 5 matches , they should win the next one and I think they will.

This is the reason the momentum of winning does matter. Before the tournament began, RCB felt marginally unfortunate, however in the last five games RCB playing so well. Last night, AB de Villiers' splendid knock kept the RCB's playoff trusts alive, so anything could be happen. Ensure the top 4 RCB need to win with smart figures in the following couple of matches, Anyway!

[Haunebu]

I could not watch the match but after seeing the score I feel good for RCB. They can not lose anymore match to keep their chances alive and I hope they make it. The team is strong enough.

But here is a concern some of the key players from their squad is leaving the team soon. I am not sure how are they going to cope without them. Team like RR, SRH and CSK will suffer too.

It's hard to imagine
CSK without Du Plesis and Imran Tahir
SRH without Warner, Bairstow
RR without Butler, Stokes, Smith, Archer
RSB without Moin Ali, Steyn, Stoinies

Thoughts?

By the way, congratulations on your winning. :-)

I agree. Its going to be a different ball game altogether. However, CSK already qualified and they still have a plethora of capable players which is why they still have strong chances to lift the cup. SRH, RR and RCB seem doomed unless the other players step up, especially RR.

Wrong. CSK is the only team that qualified currently while all other teams are competing for the 3 remaining positions. If RCB and RR lose 1 more game, they are out which is why your analysis is completely wrong.

KKR vs RR today. RR is out of the playoffs, so they may be open to some experimenting. It may be a good idea for them to give chances to younger players such as Mahipal Lomror, Sudhesan Midhun and Manan Vohra. On the other hand, KKR should replace some of the under-performing players, such as Dinesh Karthik, Piyush Chawla, Harry Gurney, Kuldeep Yadav.etc

I've gone with KKR today but they have been on tilt for the last five games, and as you say there's a few players in the squad underperforming. I was expecting big things from Karthik and Chawla who have been disappointing so far. 

I'm hoping that Russell steps up big today, he's still one of my favourite players in the league and has some ridiculous stats this season already:  

- Strike rate: 217.77
- Average runs: 65.33
- Total sixes: 41

^ The kind of player that makes T20 worth watching

KKR top batsman: Russell (5.00)

Ronnie @ Cloudbet

Went for Kkr to score over 175 at 1.91 .
Coming to match , what a comeback from Aaron , I love that guy and his attitude towards the game. Although he went for lots of runs in previous seasons , now he seems to have improved a lot.

[nakamura12]

Well, if you're team is lacking an MVP then the other team had their MVP then i am sure the result will be clear. Russell has accumulated 392 runs in 10 matches. It would be a great game if each team will give chances to young players. They may find a younger players that is skilled enough to help the team in winning.

Went for Kkr to score over 175 at 1.91 .

Not a bad bet that, seems to fit with our current KKR innings total market:



170-189 is pretty good value at (2.38)

Russell has underperformed and has become out probably due to his shoulder issues. Karthik is playing well currently and is delivering a Captains knock after a dismal season for him so far.

I bet on KKR too, but RR are bowling really well and they can win this easily unless KKR bowls really well.

Okay should have gone for this arg . Although it wasn't a bad bet , I lost just by one run. Sucks to lose in such small margin.
Anyway , RR started off well 30 off 3 overs . Can they win this one and still have hopes for playoffs?

I too worried about SRH. Without these two (Warner and Bairstaw) SRH seems nothing. I may consider some of my next pick against them.

Sure CSK will struggle but I think they will find their way out. After all Dhoni is there.

And that was a winning pick. WOW!

About today's match result, I picked RR but things are looking hard for them at the moment. Let's see.

RR requires another 9 runs in 7 balls and 3 wickets in hand . Only wickets can help the KRK to win the match else it’s over for them and RR is creating a outside chance for themself to be back in this IPL and might even end up in top 4 .

Congrats Royse. Looks like myself and Ronnie went with the wrong team. KKR continues to disappoint with their bowling performances.

Basically, KKR, RCB and RR need to win every game from here on to qualify. Who would have thought KKR would have ended up like this?

And they had a comfortable win.
At one stage I thought it's gone out from RR's hand but that partnership and the boundaries saved the match for RR. I am really worried about KKR. Do you guys think they can move to the next round?

The Russell show is always exciting too see.

Thanks bud.
True, I thought at the beginning that KKR will have an easy ticket for the next round. But seems like the reality has something else in mind.

[Little Mouse]

I don't think KKR will be falied to qualify for the next round although it's a bit hard for now but they will make it. Moreover, a lot of players will left and KKR has little depended on that players.

The last match also lost KKR by 3 wkts and they already played 11th match. And now they are in 7th position on point table. So I think it is quite difficult to stay top 4 list on the point table.

This is the magic of the IPL. It always surprises me and keeps me at the edge of my seat. So many last over finishes. I was blown away by the manner in which Archer scored 10 runs in 2 balls in the final over.

How are you so confident that they will make it? KKR, RCB and RR are all in a similar position now and all 3 teams need to win every match going forward which is why their chances of qualifying are slim.

[Pffrt]

One of the biggest is coming. MI vs CSK. It will be too much risky to bet on. In sportsbet, the odd is 1.89 for CSK and 1.96 for MI. I'm thinking of betting on MI.

I bet on CSK and I am confident that they will win comfortably even though MI have been playing brilliantly in recent times. CSK will be aiming to stay at the top under MSD, but their future games might be tricky without Faf and Tahir.
