Bitcointalk IPL Prediction Pool & Discussion

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 ?

They deserve to be the winner since they have managed to have a balanced team. Other teams just wasted their money into couple of players and recruit some shits latwr which is why they don't have the chance to play the final.

The match is going to take place in Hyderabad, so the bowlers are not going to get much of an advantage. The team with the best batting lineup is going to win, and I guess MI has the advantage. The CSK have proven to be very slow starters this season, and they'll be in trouble in case they could not score above 180. Now it is late to make any changes to the playing XI, but they should make sure that the batsmen are not wasting too many balls.

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!

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.

I find Bumrah and Chahar to be the only great bowlers at present in the MI while Malinga does take wickets and leaks runs. On the other hand, CSK has more great bowlers like D Chahar, Tahir, Singh, Jadeja etc making it a better bowling side.

Other teams also took good players but not the right players for their pitch,lets see CSK who only take the players based on the pitch and where he required in batting or bowling just talking all the good players will not fit into their batting order,so it will collapse the playing nature of that players.

MI and CSK are both balanced team , one bowler or the other delivers . It depends on how batsmen perform their duty in this match . Weather forecast says that it might rain tonight so even winning the toss is crucial .

I manually checked a total of 28 gambling sites and all of them are giving better odds for MI to win this match. Not very surprised with that. Rather than the current form of MI, the recent drop in form of CSK may be the deciding factor. The odds given by some of the sites are as follows:

Site: MI/CSK

Cloudbet: 1.87/2.14
Betrally: 1.727 / 2.000
bet365: 1.84 / 2.16
betway: 1.80 / 2.00
skyBet: 1.80 / 2.00

Still, from the odds it looks like a very close match. The performance by the CSK during the Q2 has definitely forced some of the sites to offer them better odds.

CSK are good in chasing but now losing the toss and MI batting first is a bit scary as last time also they lost the match and had to win against Delhi. Anything above 180-200 is a loss and if their batting fails this time, they won't manage to win the cup.

If they restrict MI to something below 170, I think the cup will go to CSK. If MI manage a total over 180, they will probably win the title.

I don't think that it will rain though and they can play all 40 overs from my research. This is going to be one heck of a finale!

^I just want CSK to keep calm and not give away any 4s or wides for free. Last time their fielding was terrible. Watching the match now gives me creeps.

The experience of Dhoni and the ability to read the match is legendary, even if they go for runs and Mumbai Indians go on to pose a total over 200 runs, it will be a close game but i am certain that Dhoni will find a way to win the match and the tournament, Dhoni is not getting the respect he deserves and i will not give any hope to the Indian team to win the world cup if Dhoni is not in the team, we have seen time and again Kohli is all about aggression and that cannot win matches all the time and Kohli bats really well but when he is defending a total and if there is no presence of Dhoni he always fail to win matches, you need to be strategical and if you look at team CSK apart from Dhoni it is filled with standard players and no superstars and yet they are winning the tournament all the time and hats off to Dhoni for his legendary captaincy.

MI is in trouble. Lost 2 wickets, Rohit and De Cock gone after 45 runs from 6 overs. For winning, a minimum of 160 runs is needed which seems not to be happened today.

I just love Dhoni and hence am supporting CSK. No Dhoni, no CSK for me. I have seen the passion with which he plays his game and he never shows his emotions or aggression on the field while Virat has all these traits of crying, abusing, anger... He is present in the WC but neither as the captain nor as the VC which is sad. But still his presence is enough.

This IPL has always been beneficial for the Indian team in WC so hoping the same this time as well. CSK has been 8 times in the QFs, thrice the winner, what more proof is needed that he is the best.

MI's choice to bat was a bad descision. How could they let CSK chase on such a crucial match? CSK has been great on chasing and their batting has been better than bowling in this tournament. If MI scored less than 175, it would be an easy target for Dhoni's team. MI won the toss and choose to lose.

Hahaha, probably.
But I think if MI can score 175, they are going to lift the trophy once again. Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar trying hard to defend the team in this bad situation. I wish they become successful.
Sad, MI just lost Surya

Shardul just lost that wicket. Now 4 wickets gone. Pollard is playing now and I always get scared of him. If he doesn't get out soon, he can hit big 6s and make the score go above 180.

The chances is very low to score above 160 however, there's still Ishan Kishan, Pollard and Hardik yet to out. The match is going on Chennai unless a big hit comes from any of this three.

Kishan gone just now. So now MI is depending on Hardik panday and pollard. Obviously  Good job by Imran tahir. Hope score will touch around 170 runs. Lets see what will happen.

Only 149, such a low score on final match. MI bowlers have to do outstanding performance if they want to keep MI's hope. I doubt they will be able since the target is too low.

I loved the last over. Pollard was so angry with the Umpires but still scored those two 4s. Bravo was fab but couldn't stop Pollard even after the wicket and dot balls.

Yup. This looks like CSKs game all the way unless MI bowls extremely well which is difficult on a batting pitch. Nothing surprising about any of this. This is really exciting!
