So we finally have our play-off teams, one of the most exciting IPL ever. I don't think there's any other league in the world, no matter the sport, which is as close as IPL! All 8 sides are almost equally good and even up till end it was impossible to 100% accurately predict the winner of any game before hand. Even on sportsbook, the odds for every game were in range of 1.67 - 2.30 before the start. Moreover, the current table topper in pool has only 62.5% accuracy rate, followed by 53.5% and 55.35% respectively. The whole tournament had been 'flip of a coin' mostly.
So we finally have:
Q1: MI vs DC
Eli: SRH vs RCB.
From Q1, I can see DC qualifying for the finals. Meanwhile, SRH is on hot-streak after making tactical changes and bringing Saha and Holder into the squad. Squad is more balanced than ever and I think they can easily beat RCB, the team which has lost all of its last 4 games.
SRH will once again better MI in second qualifier imo and I am routing for DC vs SRH final. Although, I am SRH supporter, I think DC will lift the trophy this year. So it's like mind says Delhi, heart says Hyderabad.

That was pretty unpredictable. What happened with KXIP in first innings happened with SRH in the second innings. I think KXIP knew that the problem with SRH is that they don't have depth in their batting order at took advantage of the same. Now SRH is out of this tournament too. So the main fight is between KKR and KXIP and obviously KXIP's next match with KKR will once again be decided for them. I thought it would be a narrow win but SRH played so bad that they lost comfortably
the saddest person today would be Warner followed by @webtricks
Can't tell how much I waited to reply to this post with this (pictures speak louder than words):
Finally SRH is through once again, couldn't be happier!
What a round. Got all of them right though I couldn't beat Hector's record of 11 points in a single round. Webtricks is catching up with Rajavu which means Rajavu might not end up taking the 1st place.
Congratulations man! That was insane streak, 7 on 7, bingo! It's your bad luck that this round only had 7 games else you would have surely beaten amishmanish's record.
Only 4 matches left and still 4 points to catch up, I don't think Rajavu will lose to me. Only 8 more points to make and I want 5 points margin over him, looks next to impossible task. Let's see.
So @Royse777 (roysesuper) since seven rounds are over, no more 0.0025 BTC rewards, right?
