Bitcointalk IPL Prediction Pool & Discussion

SRH lost and DC despite losing wickets managed to just turn lucky and get those 4 runs with 1 ball left. Both the teams that I supported lost, first CSK and now SRH. I don't know what will happen in the next match but am praying CSK makes it to the final. At this point, it would be too depressing to see them not even compete in the final.

CSK have better chance when compared to DC because on the league matches CSK easily crushed DC due to the inexperience so I guess it will repeat again this time as well.DC don't have deeps batting as well which clearly a probelm for them when top three batsmen didn't scred runs then they are on losing cause on any match so CSK will like to do that again in Q2 on Vizag.

Yup I think the same , although CSK haven't been up to mark this season I feel like it will be MI v CSK in finals and 50/50 on who will win the trophy.
I hope Watson plays well in the next match , it will make it easy for CSK then to win.

My favourite team is CSK but I slightly getting feel that MI is going to be the champions this time because they seems like complete squad but chennai is struggling in all the department throughout the season only MSD is playing consistent but still he is having bad performance again Bumrah in the past mathces.

I honestly am rooting for DC for their first ever IPL win, but their batting collapses are their biggest weak point. If they get rid of that, they will most probably lift the cup this season.

If DC fails, I am expecting MI to lift the cup unless CSK players show drastic improvement.

CSK will not bring any miracle, they will play as same they player against MI before, I mean no win since 2010 against MI  However, if DC be able to perform good against CSK, I hope there will be a huge final match.

[Vishnu.Reang]

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.

Till now, both of my predictions were accurate.

And for my 3rd prediction, I had favored the Delhi Capitals for the second qualifier, which will take place in Visakhapatnam. Here are my points:

1. DC is in very good recent form, while CSK has lost 5 out of their last 7 matches.
2. Talking about the top order, Shane Watson looks very much out of form as CSK is struggling to build opening partnerships. For DC, Shaw/Dhawan are doing OK.
3. Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer are in good form and strengthens the middle order for DC, while apart from Dhoni the CSK middle order looks very weak.
4. However, in bowling CSK is having an advantage with Tahir and Harbhajan in good form.

Great points. DC seems to be in a better position at this stage and I feel that they can win against CSK and MI unless their batting order collapses which is their primary weakness this season. For example, they almost lost against SRH because of this issue.

Very well put. You are making me reconsider my pick of CSK to win tomorrow! 

Another run of bad results for me. I've been tilting in the pool for a while now, so I can see Royse777 overtaking me in the last few games 

I'm a MI fan so I'd like to see them win the final, but I'd prefer to watch them play DC over CSK given their recent performances.

You missed to pick Mum vs CSK not sure who would you picked.

Anyway, I think the race is too hard to overtake you :-P You had some very good round in the middle.

By the way, question to you and also to Haunebu: Since we are only three and there is a prize for forth position too. Clearly there are no one for that to clam. What do you guys think the best will be for the amount we had for 4th position.

1. Split equally to all three of us.
2. Give it to a charity. I have seen a member is working hard to raise fund for charity. I have them in mind.

Let me know.

CSK will not win their match against Delhi Capitals as their players are experiencing a downfall in their form. If you see their opener Shane Watson he’s been struggling with the bat for quiet a while now, their middle order is heavily reliant on Ms Dhoni who alone cannot help them win. While on the other hand Delhi Capital players are in top form, hence only a miracle can save CSK from defeat but I doubt that’ll happen.

Easy decision. Number 2 all the way since I personally had fun predicting along with you guys through out this IPL 2019 season and donating the funds to a legit charity would be great.

Also, I hope you come up with another betting game just like this one for the upcoming World Cup.

I already planned for it LOL

Probably MI as they are my favourites, but it's been hard to bet against CSK this season - their players are just so up and down with performances.

If I'm in the prize pool then I'll be waiving my prize since I'm technically playing as Cloudbet, split it between the other positions or give to a charity

I think you could be right here, I just checked the stats and was surprised to see that CSK don't have any batsmen in the top 10 for most runs, strike rate, or average. DC on the other hand have Dhawan, Iyer, and Pant.

I'm convinced. Just changed my pick from CSK to DC in the pool

It wouldn't be interesting if it was only me and Haunebu. You gave it excitement. Thanks for that.

That would be really nice. I am waiting for DarkStar_'s response. I will update you once everything sorted.

Awesome. Am expecting a lot more contestants this time around since this is the World Cup that we are talking about. Just a couple of weeks to go.

This is going to be one heck of a tournament!

But I think fully against you. Because if you see the last few IPL where CSk won some game by depending on dhoni's batting. But most of the match was very hard last time when Dhoni was in the batting. Even If CSk needs more than 50 runs in 3 overs They won the game. So I think some miracle can be seen in the upcoming match CSK vs DELHI. And hope CSK will win the match.

I do hope the same.

It's more fun when there are enough players. However, as a start this IPL 2019 Prediction Pool was not that bad at all in my opinion. I hope now cricket lovers know how to join superbru and pick their team. :-)

I see people are less interest to watch the women's T20 matches. I have watched the match today velocity was not performed well but they need to cross the 117 to get eligible for finals match.
One more thing we need to know why only 3 teams playing for this complete reason. Really awful about BCCI's caring on Women's cricket.

Not enough players and sponsors that is the reason only three teams and most of the players in it are from overseas which clearly shows women got less interest on playing cricket match.Anyway it will take time for the women to get into it who knkws there maybe a tournament for women t20 in the future.

There's no market for cricket like in India and women's cricket franchise league should be taken as an important contribution towards equality of women and private companies, BCCI as well as the government of India should be concerned about making it a success as well the whole of cricketing world should support this initiation.

You are correct, we must need some attention over all the games on Asian countries to reach the equal in sports and technology compare with the European. Gender equality in really must to show among every people.


Lets see what the government will take action from next year. I do not think anything will change unless and until we give importance to all games.

This is true. No matter how hard women try, the governments won't give a damn since the foolish politicians are busy making money through the already popular leagues which is a sad situation indeed. Social media can help in this aspect if many people raise their voices.
