Withdraw your bet if possible with a little incentives. At least history says MI will win against CSK and I have seen this for a lot of times. And you can't deny too that MI still far better team than CSK only without the captaincy.

Lol. Are you kidding? MI is a powerful team for sure, but calling them a better team than CSK is stupidity. CSK and MI are both the most successful teams in the IPL with 3 wins each.

CSK managed to continue winning even after coming back from a ban of 2 years which is saying something. Both are equally powerful in their own ways.

Both have good players and CSK have good stats overall but against MI they are still under them they didn't managed to find a win on Chennai ground since 2010 and also they didn't played like a champion side on yesterday's match.

Too many dropped catches and top three batsman didn't knock the ball well and got out too early and it seems Vijay didn't fit in the middle order as well.

CSK fans must be missing Kedar Jadav here.

I am still rooting for Delhi's team, will cheer for Delhi's team tonight and I am hoping for Mumbai vs Delhi clash in final.

That's means Delhi need to win 2 matches in row, Tough task for but not impossible.

CSK have Santner at the bench who might replace someone in the next match I guess or Shorey who got only one chance this year and didn't played well.CSK don't have much options as well.

Lets see how Delhi will play against SRH,SRH lost both the openers and DC lost the main strike bowler.

It will be an interesting match for sure. SRH needs to improve their bowling drastically if they wish to take down DC. On the other hand, DC still looks pretty strong even without Rabada to help them out thanks to Ishant and quality spinners.

Nothing matter for DC since SRH is totally a broken team for now. I guess it will be too hard for SRH to win the match. Their batsman are not of so performed. DC probably easily win the match.

Till the end was expecting CSK to win as they even took 2 wickets back-to-back but the batsmen still kept getting 4s which took away the game and CSK did not even have enough runs to defend and to some extent fielding was poor. They were letting the ball hit the boundary too often and bowlers did not take much effort too except for Tahir.

Here is my prediction for the playoffs and finals:

Qualifier 1: MI vs CSK: MI win, since CSK is not in great form
Eliminator: DC vs SRH: Win for DC
Qualifier 2: DC vs CSK: Win for DC

Finals: DC vs MI: MI wins the tournament.

My first prediction was 100% accurate. CSK seems to be in very bad form and the most suprising fact is that they are not ready to replace players like Watson, who are not performing well. I honestly believe that the in-form batsmen such as Dhoni needs to bat at no.3 or no.4.

Now coming to today's match. SRH has been very lucky so far, but their luck is going to run out today. It is very difficult for them to put up a good fight, without the combination of Warner and Bairstow. One positive that can work for them is the return to form by Kane Williamson.

I disagree. It is true that Warner and Bairstow had contributed a lot in helping SRH qualify, but that does not mean they are not capable of winning without them. I can say the same about DC too where Rabada was the main reason they performed so well. It goes both ways.

Very lucky? The other teams performed horribly and SRH always had the best NRR among all the teams even since they decimated RCB at the beginning of the tournament.

You are wrong. SRH is unlucky that they have to play the match without Warner and Bairstaw. They had a great series helped SRH to reach here. You have missed their stats- https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5114470.msg50762591#msg50762591
They both played extremely well and bring win for SRH.
However, now, SRH seems to be less strong, I doubt they will be able to win against DC however, I hope they win and I will be waiting for an interesting match.

Chennai Super Kings are going to be the champions for 4 times in 2019. For my favorite player Mahendra Singh Dhoni Dhoni, I support the Chennai Super Kings, he has not disappointed me anymore. Many people think that Chennai Super Kings is a bad team. Because they have been banned for two years but Chennai has proved that they are the things to do. I think Chennai Super Kings is the best team of IPL...

The players should not be blamed for the ban. It was the management that was at fault. It is quite clear that you are a die hard CSK fan, but you are severely underestimating the other teams here. Didn't you observe how MI destroyed them recently?

Majority feel that MI will lift the title this year though I am one of the minority that feels that SRH will lift it.

No doubt CSK is a very good sight but MI who has reached finals can even in their day change the match course just like how they entered the finals beating CSK . So cannot tell if CSK will win it but it would be really interesting to watch out for .

While I have doubt if MI or CSK (if they reach final) will lift the cup but I am certain that SRH is not going to be the champion team. I lost them when their two key player left the team for the world cup.

In today's match my bet is for DC.

Guptil seems to score a big one today. SRH needs at least 180+ in order to have a competitive match, otherwise, Delhi will easily win the match, I think. Guptil need to hit a big score and play the role of Warner or Bairstaw.

The pitch is slow. So if SRH really can score 180+ runs then they should win the match. So far I am not missing  Warner or Bairstaw in this match but let's see how they do.

Guptil is gone, SRH will now face trouble to make 150, I guess. There's no big one left who can do the job unless any miracle happen by Manish pandey. I expected Vijay SHankar at the place of Williamson.

The pitch is filled with cracks which is why getting 180+ won't be easy which is why anything close to 160 would be competitive in my opinion. At present, they are playing slowly and they may be able to reach 160 if they accelerate from here on out.

Yeah, they are close to reaching 160 runs and 4 balls are still left. 10 more runs would be good as the field is not too good for batting. Also, looks like they gave a no ball in this over which costed them 6 runs.

Final score of SRH is 162/8

Delhi can fancy their chances here, l am supporting Delhi and fingers crossed. I don't want to see another Harakiri stunt from Delhi.

Hopefully Rishabh can play some fine knock here. Prithvi need to play good as well.

[Vishnu.Reang]

SRH seems to be unable to score above 180, without Warner / Bairstow. But to their credit, they came back quite well. At one point it looked like they may struggle to get even 140 runs on board, as Manish Pandey and Kane Williamson took a lot of time to settle in. But in the end, Shankar and Nabi scored some quick runs for them. I'd say that right now the match is evenly poised, with each team having 50/50 chance of winning it.
