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:-\

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  

And with this it's again MI vs CSK. MI has been successful in the finals when these two teams meet and I hope the same would happen this time. MI is overall the best team of the tournament.

Mumbai and Chennai had met in the finals twice and both the time Mumbai Indians had won. Mumbai also has a 75% win percentage in the finals while Chennai has 43%.

And CSK didn't winba single match against MI after 2010, I read it here probably. Guess what's going to be happened. Will MI be sit on their record or CSK will break the rule of traditional loses?

You should not say like instead you may say Ambani does not allow CSK to win. That might apt for these teams. MI picked world class players and running their team. This two powerful aspects are pushing them in financial side and team side.


Funny MI team lovers should know that you have heavy bowlers and batsmen in the team not performing well when you equal it to CSK team players. I am damn sure again CSK gonna mark the defending championship.

Am expecting CSK to win logically and emotionally. MI have a great record against CSK, but records are meant to be broken and I feel that CSK could break this record too under Dhoni and his experienced team. This is going to be one heck of a finale!

CSK main powerhouse is its bowling. Spin department has been exceptional this year. Bowling first in Hyderabad is surely going to have edge. If Chennai bowls first, the game is going to them and Dhoni will lift the cup.
As a hard core fan, all I want to see is Yuvraj playing one last time instead of Ishan Kishan. I want to see him winning cup for MI.  I really hope Mumbai bats second and Yuvraj does the run-chasing.

[Pffrt]

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.

That's less likely to be happened. I guese MI and CSK will play the final match. MI will win the qualifier 1 and CSK will play against probably DC.
The chances of winning for MI in the final is also high since they are having quite decent performance.

This is so far, each of my prediction is correct. The final will be so   MI will dominate over CSK as like they did back in the day. I wish MI lift the trophy. They deserve it the most. Almost all of their local player is in good form. Rohit, Suraiya, Hardik, except Ishan Kishan though. Their bowling attack is also one of the best. So, there's no chance for CSK in theory, but miracle can only help CSK to lift the cup. I wish MI win, good luck.

I'm fan of both of them, well, since Ishan Kishan isn't having good performance, I guess it's better to call in Yuvi <3

Like I said CSK crushed DC's batting order earlier and managed to restrict them to a very low total on Q2 and chased down it comfortably.Two openers for CSKplayed well and get into form before the final match which is good thing for CSK.But on final MI is also champion side with experienced players so there will be a tough task for CSK to lift the cup.CSK played with extra bowler which makes them as a complete team now.

CSK don't have any outstanding player, all of their batsman are average. If MI can score 170+, that will be almost impossible for CSK to chase because MI bowling attack is also well formed.

I wouldn't use the word "comfortably". CSK didn't had an easy win and they had only one over to spare when they won the match. It was a lot closer than what it looks like on paper. Had DC managed another 10-15 runs, it would have been a different story altogether. The Delhi Captain should blame himself for the slow batting. Anyway... best luck for the next season. With such a young and relatively inexperienced side, DC played really well during this edition.

Dhoni played consistently this year only problem is in the top order but lately they also showing some good form,Faf is the key at the top who needs to score runs if CSK need to win since Watson always playing slow inning upto 30 balls.Extra bowler will make CSK also a good bowling team but they need one more match winning innings to lift the cup again.

Lol. Hilarious. No outstanding player in CSK? What have you been watching? The entire squad is filled with some of the best players in the world of Cricket who can take the game away on any given day even if some are inconsistent due to their experience.
 
Rooting for CSK at present and am expecting them to lift the cup again this year.

Watson is wasting a lot of balls and the CSK selectors need to seriously think about replacing him (or at least sending him down the order). They need to make sure that Dhoni and Raina are able to play the maximum number of balls. The extra bowler option didn't worked last time. For the match against DC, they had played the extra bowler (Shardul Thakur), but his performance was not up to the mark.

If Watson gets going he will really score well , that's what CSK are counting on. He played well in the latter part of the match yesterday so that's some good news for CSK. Let's not forget last year finals

CSK vs MI : Its endgame time now people!

Am personally rooting for CSK all the way since I have a soft side for MSD and Chennai seems to be the better team in bowling and fielding aspects while Mumbai is the better team in the batting aspect.

Will MI continues its awesome record against CSK or will CSK break it at last? Lets see what happens!

Same here I just hope it's gonna be an entertaining match , doesn't matter if CSK looses the match. To be frank MI has played better throughout the tournament when compared to CSK.
It's 3-0 MI in this season so I guess Dhoni will have a new plan.

MI has the best players among all the teams in the tournament and closely comes Chennai. I'm happy to see these two teams in finals. Happy for Dohni inspite of his position in his national team, his led team is now in finals of IPL.

Don't you think Mumbai bowling is also not less than Chennai? Bumrah is the leading bowler right now, Malinga is experienced enough, Krunal is also a good one.
There's no way of Chennai winning the final although I believe anything can happen.

On big matches anything can happen,CSK have good record against mumbai but only on chennai venue MI has record win,fortunately today's match will be played on Hyderabad so better chance for Chennai since they have best spin attack this year.

In 2019 as well we will not have a new IPL team winner . It would be again CSK who might take it for 4th time or MI take it for 3rd time and equals CSK record of 3 times each winning the IPL . Is it going to interest many where we have same winners every year sort ?
