I think SKY will be back in the next match, I was even surprised not to see him in this match as well because I read Zaheer khan saying that he is fit to play but wasn't in the team. Maybe SKY can solve the middle order problems for Mumbai Indians but the bigger problem is the bowling attack, there is no one to bowl along side Bumrah in the death, on one end you saw today Bumrah protecting runs while on the other end there was huge leakage of runs.

I am not sure about this SKY, my request is to put their name as i am not familiar with local talents. In the case of bowlers, Mumbai had a great opening pair in Jasprit Bumrah and Trent Boult during their earlier seasons and i was surprised to see that they did not pick him this season because they were a great opening pair and they troubled all the batsman and the main reason for their success in recent seasons.

Had a good day tonight and hopefully my luck continues. Gujarat Titans played like i thought it would go and even during live betting at a moment in time the odds were above 3 for Gujarat Titans to win and i gladly placed the bet knowing a wicket of Pant would change the match upside down and that is what happened in the match  . Hopefully will see more matches like this in the coming days.

Chennai up against Punjab next people. I bet on Chennai since their batsmen were on fire in the previous game and their bowlers let them down while Punjab aren't really on top of their game currently.

Sky is short for Suryakumar Yadav and it became a popular nickname very quickly which is why many of us refer to him in that way.

Those odds were great value. I bet on Gujarat too, but not at such high odds and they didn't disappoint me. Their bowlers saved them since 170+ was a below par score against a team like DC.

Thhampi also isn't in his best touch this season. I think it's better to try maybe Unadkat or Meridith instead of Mills or Thhampi in the next match. MI has to improve the bowling performance first.

Apart from SKY.. Vadapav also need to score some runs tho, he's averaging like mid 20's in last 3-4 IPL.

They also have Murugan Ashwin as bowler, he's good bowler too and will play most of the games. I think they're missing Bumrah-Boult kind of mojo, this was deadly combination so i guess new setup will take some time.  For allrounder category, BBL's (Aussie) players don't give me much confidence.

They could try Unadkat instead of Thampi. Both are okay bowler but Thampi is better with the bat and Unadkat (He now believes that he could bat too)  provides left arm seam option so he would get a game or two anyway.

Chennai up against Punjab next people. I bet on Chennai since their batsmen were on fire in the previous game and their bowlers let them down while Punjab aren't really on top of their game currently.

Punjab is scoring at a good pace but they lost wickets at regular intervals. Now they have Odean Smith in the crease and he can hit the ball a long way and if he bats throughout the innings he will score a total beyond Chennai's reach.

Sky is short for Suryakumar Yadav and it became a popular nickname very quickly which is why many of us refer to him in that way.

Ok, got it. He is having fitness issues and he needs to be in the team for Mumbai to have the depth in batting.

Those odds were great value. I bet on Gujarat too, but not at such high odds and they didn't disappoint me. Their bowlers saved them since 170+ was a below par score against a team like DC.

When Pant was in the crease the odds changed drastically and if they had a solid batsman after that wicket, i would not dare to place a bet but Pant was the solid player and i felt one more wicket and they will loose the match and hence took the chance when the odds makers offered a good bet .

After four consecutive wrong predictions my prediction have turned to be right. Myself a supporter of Chennai Super Kings believed it isn't the match of CSK. Few of the reasons that striked me are the winning luck, lack of bowling and the fielding mistakes of the previous match. In the previous match it was the match of Chennai, but something happened opposite due to the catches dropped by Chennai. In today's match too myself expected the same, fortunately Chennai didn't batted first.

Lack of bowling is one big reason CSK are losing matches, if you see there was not even a single bowler in the first innings who was able to bowl very nicely, Initial wickets also were more of lucky wickets not some great deliveries, pace department looks too young only Jordan is there and he doesn't have a great history on Indian wickets. Even batting also does contain big names but their suns have really set now, Ruturaj & Faf Du Plessis were the only reason why CSKs batting looked flawless the last season and they could win the title last season, this time Faf has left the squad and Ruturaj's form looks nowhere near the last year mark, people would say that Dhoni's removal from captaincy could also be a reason but trust me it isn't, because Dhoni still has a lot of say on the field from what it looks on screen. I am sure he must be having a lot of say in the dressing room as well with Jadeja, his oldest chap as the captain.

Congrats on picking Punjab Kings as i did not anticipate them to perform the way they did and Chennai Super Kings was on a two match loosing streak and i was expecting them to change that but it was yet another disappointing performance from Chennai Super Kings and with this loss i do not understand with which team they can compete in this tournament.

Great prediction. I didn't expect Punjab to thrash Chennai especially when Ali is back in their line-up. Dube and Dhoni were the only decent performers among their batsmen while the rest performed like crap.

Honestly, I feel that the captaincy change was the wrong call since the pressure is clearly getting to Jadeja who hasn't been performing well with both bat and ball since then.

MSD should have continued as the captain since this is most probably his final season which could have painted a different picture for CSK so far in my opinion. Currently, both CSK and MI look weak overall.

Lol Dhoni was decent? Players should get credit when they perform well but when they are shit then let's call them out, there is nothing wrong with that.

At one time his score was 10 off 20 balls and he was keep putting pressure on Dube ji. When you're chasing the 14-15 rpo then 23 runs off 28 balls is ridiculous performance.

[Little Mouse]

I'm really having a worst season I think. Just have managed to get 5 points only if I'm correct from all the matches. But yeah, it's nothing of disappointing as we have a lot of matches this season. Hopefully I will come back with solid predictions.

No big difference on points tables tho.   

In first round toss played a big part, team batting second successfully chased down big total but so far in 2nd round situation is completely opposite.

3 good teams at rock bottom on point table and still searching for their first win. Even RCB is ahead of them lol

Reminder every team has to play 14 games each.

Despite having a great start on tbe pool, I'm now far behind. But there are a lot of matches left. I guess I will make it to top LOL.
I had a bet tonight for SRH but sadly, Lucknow won. New teams playing pretty well so far. I thought Lucknow and Gujarat will have a bad time but they are becoming reason for bad time for many teams LOL.

Lucknow and Gujarat have good players in the team and i think they have the right balance, i under estimated Punjab kings and went with Chennai Super Kings when picking the team in the competition but once the match started, i picked Punjab to win and Chennai Super Kings was a huge disappointment and i am not expecting any changes in their performance this season.

I feel that 23 off 28 balls isn't ridiculous at all when the rest of the team got out for single digits. MSD always like batting deep which is why him wasting balls initially wasn't surprising and this is why I called it a decent performance.

I wouldn't worry too much. Anything can happen in both the IPL and these prediction pools. For example, I was in the bottom of last year's pool initially and ended up on top towards the end.

Don't underestimate CSK and MI. They have returned from the dead on multiple occasions to surprise so many people thanks to their 'Never Give Up' mentality.

That's why India keep failing at T-20 WC. In T-20 less than 100 SR is considered sin and that too when you're batting at lower middle order

For anchor role SR should be around 120-130 but teams can't afford 2-3 anchor players in the same, at least not at number 7. If you want to win or compete in T-20 format then you need 140 or above SR kind of batters.

[Swordsoffreedom]

Between Rajasthan and Bangalore, my choice today was Bangalore. I know Rajasthan has shown outstanding performance in the first two matches. They are playing great in both bowling and batting. Yet I relied on Bangalore's players. In particular, I bet in favor of Bangalore only for Faf du Plessis and Kohli.

Rajasthan set a target of 170 runs in 20 overs. Good enough collection considering the pitch condition. However, their collection in the last 2 overs was 42 runs, it surprised me. Bangalore's bowlers needed to bowl more carefully.

RCB collected 40 runs without losing any wicket in 5 overs. 130 runs are needed from 90 balls to win. The match is still completely under the control of RCB. I hope I will win my bet.

[JSRAW]

~snip~ I hope I will win my bet.

Boss-DK has become destroyer of the bowlers.

Rajasthan was in comfortable position and it looked like they win the match. I was confident of their win and stopped watching the match   but then came an unknown Shahbaz Ahmed and DK, they turned the table for the RCB. DK saab is in new avatar after Nidahas trophy and become dangerous finisher in T-20.

Suberbru Point table looks different now

Valid point, but it's very difficult to maintain such a high strike-rate when majority of the team got out quickly which leads to a high pressure situation. Anyway, let's just agree to disagree.

I felt the same. RR looked like they would easily win at one point and I was surprised to see Ahmed and freaking DK(Who underperformed in recent seasons) help seal the deal pretty easily. Am on a 3 loss streak currently.

Also, the Superbru points table does seem different currently. There are just a couple of points difference between the first and last position. Exciting!

I don't remember his last season numbers but in recent 3 matches his SR is above 200, not easy task at all, clearly he's enjoying his batting atm.

Mumbai playing against Kolkata. They would like to open their account. SKY should be available for selection, although bowling department looks more damaged right now.

Pat cummins is also available for KKR but Boult-Yadav duo is doing fairly good job for them and they can't leave Narine and Russell. Sam Billing is WK-Bat, so i guess Patty is going to sit out today?

Boult doesn't play for KKR so I guess you wanted to say Tim Southee. Southee is having a wonderful IPL so far, he has already got 5 wickets in a couple of matches but when you got someone like Pat Cummins, you have to make the difficult decisions. KKR's batting lineup is strong but you can't rely on six batsmen in a run-chase. Narine hasn't shown his batting instinct for quite a time now so seeing a bigger picture, it is better to have someone like Cummins down the order than Southee.

Btw, first match in Pune, can we say dew won't be a dominant factor tonight? Really wasn't a good feel to see factors like weather influencing matches to this extent so far this season.
