Bitcointalk IPL Prediction Pool & Discussion

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.

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.

People also a factor for this,I read that tickets for viewing women's match is totally free of cost but still very few people were coming to watch it so if they are continue to give free tickets then no profits for the management who is conducting those matches so they won't try hard.

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.

Know what? You can't blame the BCCI for that. They are always after the revenue and it looks like there is not enough revenue in the women's matches. You can have a match between the India Women's team and the Pakistan women's team, and still there will be more viewership in India for an Ireland vs West Indies match which is occurring at the same time.

Things are different in Australia. There they have the WBBL, which has attracted quite a few loyal fans. The revenue is there and the league can be sustained on its own. But I really doubt whether we can have a WIPL in India, as there is hardly any interest for the women's matches here.

The above post is just my opinion about the whole thing, and it is not intended to offend anyone. I am an Indian resident and a female. I have talked to a lot of my friends, and most of them are die-hard fans of Virat Kohli or Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Very few of them have ever heard about Harmanpreet Kaur or Smriti Mandhana.

Approx about 10 hours left to start the CSK vs DELHI Qualifier 2 match. Both needs to win to play Final 2019 IPL. Those will try to give their best to keep alive for Final.
Though CSK started well first in this IPL but the team performance is not good like before. In the other hands Delhi won the last couple of matches. So what will you expect around this CSK vs Delhi match?

DC lost both their matches against CSK this year so they are not better team against CSK due to their inexperience.Toss will play a big role in today's match and if DC bat first then they might play better than batting second because even in their last match they are struggling to chase it down from their middle order.

I am rooting for DC, but you can never count out the CSK juggernaut especially with MSD at the helm. If DC manage to defeat CSK, I am very confident that they can defeat MI too and become first time champs.

No need to under-estimate CSK. They have the most experienced players in this tournament. The average age of the CSK side is 34, while that for DC is 7 years less. For CSK, they are heavily dependent on Dhoni, Raina and Tahir, while for the DC the work load is more spread out. The absence of Rabada is going to hurt DC, as none of their other pacers are able to match him in terms of strike rate and economy. In short, I would say that DC is the favorite to win this match by a good margin, but it is not possible to write off CSK.

I doubt they will defeat MI, not probably CSK too. I think CSK will win the match today, although their last couple of match was off performed, I believe they will come back with the best output.

It is not the government that has to take initiative, the BCCI has to take that initiative and start promoting Women's cricket and India does have world class Women players like Mithali Raj and the youngster Smriti Mandhana and if there is a good program that promotes cricket in the school level we will see more promising players and i am sure people will be watching them if they are promoted accordingly.

For the betting line DC are the underdog and i will not dare to bet against MSD, he is the best captain in the world and he will always find a way to win the match in any given situation. MSD does not experiment with players too much and that can be considered as a short coming, but in this format one innings will change everything .

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 

You are in the prize pool lol
It wouldn't be interesting if it was only me and Haunebu. You gave it excitement. Thanks for that.

Let me know how you get on, I can look into requesting funds to sponsor the competition as Cloudbet 

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

Poor start for Delhi. Their batting lineup had failed them several times in this tournament.Yet, we need to wait for the final score before predicting a winner because Delhi has a better bowling lineup than Chennai has. A 160+ score could be defendable.

So far Delhi struggling so bad, I can smell another suicide from daredevils hope I am wrong here. Still supporting DC  lol Another chance for Pant to prove his worth. he should play till the end. if he does then he can do good damage.

The BCCI is filled with corrupt people although their numbers have decreased even since Srinivasan was removed. Both the government and BCCI need to actively support female cricketers by providing adequate funds wherever required.

Guess so , lack of experience from DC side , really disappointing to see Shreyas getting out in such a way . Although I want CSK to win , I thought this will be a high scoring match .

Yeah, Experience counts but match is still in progress. Chennai already gave one chance to Pant when Chahar ruined the party in the boundary line. so delhi can still fancy good fighting score from here.

Shreyas is good, but it happens in cricket, so that's fine. if you want CSK to win - pass the msz to thala-


Edit

Oh boy pant gone shi.......t

Lol Ishant sharma and boult hahaha. I think 147 is good fighting score.

Not sure if DC are going to be able to defend 147, they have the better bowlers but I'd have liked to see them get to 180+ to feel more safe with my pick

I don't think DC will defend 147 runs. The scores is now 48/0 in 7 overs. Since DILHI can not break through yet any wicket 147 will be very easy by CSK I think. Now Lets see how can defend DC.

Only some kind of miracle save Delhi now. Chennai standing strong with 81 runs mark without losing single wicket

Guess its an end of Delhi's journey in this edition. Being a DC fan, I am still waiting for some fight back, but DC bowlers are not in the mood today:-\

Edit :

 finally DC get rid of Faf   now need only 9 wickets lol

Edit 2

Now only 8 wickets

For the first time my prediction is going to fail. By now, CSK is very comfortably placed and they need less than 7 runs per over with 9 wickets remaining. Unfortunately for the Delhi Capitals, Shane Watson seems to be back in form after so many failures. So the IPL final is going to be between MI and CSK, but I'd still favor MI to win the trophy.

[Bdstar]

Chennai need 55 runs from 52 balls to win against Delhi Capitals and This win will get them the ticket of final.So, we can believe Chennai will easily chase the target Because They still have 9 wickets in hand.IPL 2019 Final will be held Between MI and CSK.Two teams played great throughout out the tournament and an interesting final is waiting for us.I think MI will lift the trophy of IPL 2019.

Miracle isn't anymore possible, I believe, provided that Chennai needs 47 runs from 49 balls, however, if Chennai lose the match for any kind of reason, I would not call it miracle, rather it will be a total matxh fixing
