Did anyone bet on that match of Royals Challengers Bangalore vs Sunrisers Hyderabad? Today's match is very important for RCB even though SRH is not important. Because if they can win the last two matches well, they will leave Chennai behind and move to the second place in the table. On the other hand, whether SRH wins or loses, their position on the table will not change. RCB is now batting for 142 runs. Kohli has returned to the dressing room with only 5 runs. RCB's collection in 3 overs is 18/1.

Expected RCB to win comfortably against SRH and was disappointed to see them play like crap. They needed to chase a small target and messed up royally due to which they are stuck in the 3rd spot.

Never expected them to trade spots with CSK since there is a big difference in their NRR. Bet on CSK and KKR in their upcoming matches and I hope they don't let me down.

What! I thought I had Hyderabad to have a Narrow win 🤪

RCB's batsmen made the match difficult. At first, Kohli collected only 5 runs and went back to the dressing room. Secondly, Padikkal though played well, collecting 41 runs. But he has wasted a lot of balls. Third, if Maxwell had not been run out, the outcome of the match would have been in RCB's favor. Moreover, every bowler of SRH has bowled very well except Rashid Khan.

Damn!! I completely forget that we were having double header today, missed the opportunity to score some brownies points on Punjab king.  

BCCI secretory recently gave some numbers on viewership. Are you guys making currupt BCCI rich by watching game live ? I only watched handful matches live and missed majority of em in this UAE leg although i do following scorecard and every updates on teams etc as i'm throwing some bucks every now and then.

Don't act surprised because you gave this tip lol  

Bangalore v Hyderabad    Bangalore (Narrow)

Edit

Benchoo MI is out, not officially tho but they are out. There is no way they can catch up with KKR's runrate even if they win the next game.

I don't remember the last time when MI did not qualify for the playoffs. Their next game against SRH is pointless for both sides basically. Predicted SRH to win narrowly against MI thanks to their recent win against RCB.

RCB vs DC will be way more interesting in comparison. Predicted RCB to win and I hope I am right.

[Swordsoffreedom]

Rajasthan lost all their wickets by just 85 runs today. Is this the lowest run collection this season?
Kolkata gave a list of which four teams will advance to the next round by winning today's match. Although Mumbai have the potential to collect the same number of points as KKR, they are far behind of NRR from Kolkata. So Kolkata will be in the fourth place of the points table.

Even though MI failed to qualify for playoffs just 4 years back, it still is a big shocker because they were the defending champions and had almost a similar team like the one they had the previous time, but still failing to perform up to the mark, Their big players were out of form, Bumrah who always creates buzz in IPL was nowhere to be seen this time, he did take 19 wickets but his contribution in crucial situations was pretty less as compared to previous editions. Do you guys think this could have an effect on Rohit getting captaincy after Kohli?

RR today played as if they desperately wanted MI to stay out of the playoffs, they did almost nothing to win this match, their bowling was a complete mess and batting was obviously a mess, this might also mark an end to the career of might Sanju Samson.

Hell yeah, there’s no way MI can qualify. I have run a calculation to check it out but they don’t have a way to qualify. Even checked with some impossible RR for them LOL. I was planning to take the challenge above but I couldn’t LOL.

IPL final without MI! What a surprise! Who would have thought? I thought they would be winning 3rd consecutive trophy but they couldn’t qualify PLAYOFF.

This is a scenario for the mighty Mumbai Indians, well nothing mighty in this season tho lol .

Our World Cup chances looks shitty to me now. 6 Mumbai Indian players got selected in T-20 WC squad.

Rohit - Not in good form but he's champion batsman and arguably legendary white ball opener.
Kishan- Going through some lean patch.
SKY- Also not looking too great.
Pandaya - Big Disappointment because he was one of the key member.
Rahul Chahar - Poor form and failed to impress in his latest gig in the UAE.
Bumrah - Well he never disappoint.

Ladies don't forget that we have double header today.

Ishan Kishan was dismissed for 64 off 32 balls in a devastating inning. Great batting, he has hit 11 fours and 4 over boundaries. His strike rate was 262. Mumbai collected 139 for 3 in 11 overs. They should collect at least more than 200 in this match. If they can collect more than 200, they will definitely beat Hydrabad.

Yeah, I know. I am wondering how many will be interested to pay for an entry fees. If you see the IPL pool, then it's obvious that not many want to pay a price. If you or anyone else is fine to host it then please do so. Let me know the address and the entry fee amount. I will gladly join.

MI does not have a chance to qualify, even they have now over 320 runs.

Ishan Kishan was dismissed for 64 off 32 balls in a devastating inning. Great batting

That's 84. Great effort by him and the team as well. It could have been more than 260 if some of the middle overs wouldn’t be such low scoring. From 9th over to 13th over, MI scored only 33 out of 30 ball I guess. It was an easy 260+ for them and they could have a chance to qualify for the play off. Now, they need SRH to restrict at 64 runs. Could they or were they able to fix the match LOL.

Sorry, that was a typing mistake. Mumbai batted very aggressively till the 19th over. Mumbai is collecting only 5 runs in the last over. They should have collected at least 10 more. SRH's batting is good enough today. I don't think they will win. Yet their players are trying hard enough to close the gap. They scored 111 runs in 11 overs but they have already lost 4 wickets. Had he not lost the wickets, there might have been a chance of victory.

Who all saw Ambani batting today? I saw him scoring 236 runs in total but at the last moment his credit card got declined and MI couldn't pull off through playoffs Lol. Jokes apart, I think winning by 170 runs was in itself a mammoth task, but still never expected MI would even give it a try, Kishan batted as if he wanted to give his 100% and so did Sky, one good thing that I see is that India get two fierce batsmen for their playing XI. Pitch too was very easy to bat on even SRH batting at such a high run rate.

[Haunebu]

Intense matches. SRH would require a miracle to win at this point though they are trying hard and I applaud them for their effort. I guess MI will win by 30-40 runs or something and move to the 5th position in the table.

On the other hand, RCB won against DC thanks to a six by Bharat from the final freaking ball. Absolute insanity. However, they will stay in the 3rd position as expected.

Damn! got to say both matches were intense, not from the plays off point of view but cricket. Very happy to see SKY and Ishan Kishan making contribution and showing sign of form before the WC, now they are unpdropable IMO (before there was slight chance). Before this UAE leg new guy Srikar Bharat was considered pure test player in domestic but i'm sure this perspective has changed today for the good reasons, at least for some.

Who all saw Ambani batting today?

I did but then came back to my senses when every MI's bowler ended with 9+ ECO, except Boult.

I would prefer if you're running the pool but i do agree majority are not interested in the paid pool. Current lot of IPL participants could join tho.

Haha true, I thought SRH would just do their routine performance would slowly and steadily bat and reach somewhere around 130-140 as a decent total and MI would then repent about KKR winning with such a huge margin, but SRH definitely had different plans maybe the pitch was to blame or what but Roy, Abhishek and Pandey batted really nicely, if they would have batted 50% like this in the entire tournament things would have been very different for SRH.

[Swordsoffreedom]

The first playoff match between Delhi Capital vs Chennai Super Kings will be played tomorrow. The team that wins will play in the final. Delhi have beaten CSK very well in the two matches they have played against CSK this season. Will we see the same result in the third match?
Kolkata is leading in net run rate. Although they are the fourth team at the table. Will they be able to show any surprises, or will they lose against RCB? What do you think? In the previous match against RCB, Kolkata had a very respectable victory. RCB lost all their wickets for just 92 runs.

I just created a pool on superbru for T20 world cup. I would like to give you the link so that you can monitor the participants. Assuming you did not want to go through the hassles of creating a pool. It's actually just a few clicks.

If you want, then I can give a BTC address too for the participants to send the fees. Other than this, you will need to do the rest of the works.
1. Creating a thread for it
2. Dealing with the participants
3. Finding any sponsor
and whatever else it needs.

I would like you to take it over from me for this community if you have interest and time for it, please. I would like to enjoy a pool by just being a particiapant :-D

My prediction is that CSK will beat DC comfortably and advance to the finals while KKR will win against RCB narrowly. You shouldn't focus too much on past results since this is the IPL where unexpected stuff happens on a regular basis.

For example, I never expected MI to not even qualify for the playoffs at the beginning of the season.
