Bitcointalk IPL Prediction Pool & Discussion

[Haunebu]

RCB has zero chance, IMO because they have played 11 matches and won 4 only while CSK, MI, DC has already won 7 matches. Even if RCB win all the match, their NRR will get them out from the tournament.

They still have a chance, but they need to win all of their remaining games and other teams need to lose. A miracle is required and I have observed such miracles in the IPL in the past which is why I would not rule them out just yet.

2 knockout matches today. This is going to be fun.

I am picking RCB in today's match against Delhi Capital. RCB done well in their last two match and they are a team who can win consecutive matches and can challenge anyone.

There are tiny chances to qualify and let's see if they can use it.

I know that they do have a chance ( tiny because of the NRR ) but I feel it's DC who is gonna win today.
Kohli and ABD should do well in chasing today if RCB wants to win .

So far DC is doing well and if they keep going like this then over 190+ is very easy. The current score is 99 runs for 1 wicket after 11.2 overs. But don't forget that we have seen teams to lose their way and lost all wicket in only 2/3 overs several occasions in this IPL.

Anyway, even 200 runs are not much hard to chase for RCB if their top and middle order perform.

The thing is , if DC manage to score 200 then even though if RCB chases it , it won't help them to increase NRR drastically. They gotto win with a large margin in upcoming matches.

Yeh, the equation is very hard for RCB and some other team in the race. I think KKR is the same as well. This will be interesting who make it to the next round among these teams.

Dhawan gone DC is 126 for 2 after 14.3 overs.

DC have made by far 175/5 in 19.2 overs and this target would not be that easy if Kohli and Devlliers get out quickly then it would be easy for DC to win the match . Will need to wait and watch how does RCB come out to bat and how they place their innings.

[Tipstar]

Impressive batting in the last over of DC. The game seems to be getting away from RCB.
This is going to be one of the worst season for RCB and one of the best for Delhi. If Delhi maintains such form, we would be able to see a new team lifting IPL this year.

They are consistent throughout and the management is very good.  They have Ganguly and Ponting on their side .
As far as todays match is concerned I think it's 50/50.

[Little Mouse]

RCB seems to play well today. I hope they win the match. I don't want Virat go away just like this. RCB needs 143 runs in 95 balls with 10 wickets remaining. Parthiv is batting pretty well today.

I want DC to win today...

So that Virat kohli can take long break from IPL and gets proper rest for world cup. World cup trophy is more Important than IPL trophy IMHO.

Dhoni's back is not good too. so I really think Virat can use some rest here as well along with Dhoni.

Lol, however RCB going to lose the match though. They need more 62 runs from 30 balls with 5 wickets remaining. If Stoinis can do something, otherwise, RCB has lost the match already.

Looks like both of us were wrong. RCB have failed and are officially out while DC have successfully qualified. In the KKR vs MI, I bet on KKR, but this could be identical to the RCB vs DC match and KKR could exit while MI would qualify. Lets see what happens.

Delhi Capitals beat RCB successfully with a comfortable 16 runs victory and Congratulations Delhi for becoming the second team to qualify in the playoffs! It really had a feeling of a knockout game.
 
It's the end of RCB and KKR's voyage will likewise end tonight! Mumbai will move the top of the point table tonight.

KKR vs MI seems that MI will have to chase around 220 or so which will be interesting to watch how does Rohit plays the innings as KKR have reached 196/2 in 17.5 overs. Andre Russell is batting and anything possible when he is on the crease.

[Little Mouse]

Russel rain again. Sunman Gill also played an outstanding innings. MI is in trouble. I don't think it's possible for them to win the match anymore since they lost Rohit and De Kock earlier.

Pandya played brilliantly, but no one could support him out in the middle. Chawla continues his horrible form through this season. They should have given a chance to other players in comparison.

KKR won at the end though and I won my bet.

What a knock by Hardik, I didn't follow the match anymore since MI had already lost. Things could be different if Pollard could play a little bigger match. Kolkata still not confirmed. The chances of getting kicked out from the tournament is high, however, I wish Russell play till the end of the tournament  We need entertainment.

I thought it will be a huge win for KKR which will help them in improving their NRR but nah just 34 runs after scoring 220+ isn't good.

Winning by 34 runs in a T20 match is big. It means a net run rate of +1.70. And as you can see, now the KKR net run rate is in positive (before this match, it was in negative). But their problem is that even now, SRH is having a much higher net run rate when compared to them. So in case they win the match against KXIP today, then it is almost certain that SRH will go through the playoffs. The remaining matches for SRH are against MI and RCB. I think they can afford to lose one match and still qualify for the playoffs.
