Rajastan Royals batting is disappointing, i did not expect them to win but i expected it to be a close match but another one sided loss by Rajasthan Royals.

Tomorrow will see whether CSK to perform and be consistent and perform like they did in the last match.
The game changing moment in the RR vs MI match was the insane catch by Pollard which led to Buttler getting out who was pretty much set for a century. Their excellent fielding this season is what makes MI so strong when compared to other teams.

In the CSK vs KKR match, I bet on KKR since CSK is is still very inconsistent currently while KKR have been consistently playing well so far.

after a disaster first round, somehow I am managing good in this round and the last round too. I am happy.
Same here, was a real disaster during the initial stages but this round somehow i am picking good winning some but still not getting the margin right.

They have Lord Tewatia at no.6. Jos Buttler and Mahipal Lomror at the crease right now, and they may try to build a partnership.
If you pick RR and Lord Tewatia had another successful chase, I would be sure that you are fixing matches  Cheesy Such a bad batting from RR. Unless Butler get a ssignificant hit tonight, there's no chance for RR. RR is supposed to be the second best batting line uo in my opinion but they couldn't show great performance other than the fixed match.

Rajasthan Royals 12/3 after 3 overs. Samson, Smith and Jaiswal back at pavilion. I would have written them off at this point, but you never know. They have Lord Tewatia at no.6. Jos Buttler and Mahipal Lomror at the crease right now, and they may try to build a partnership. But they need to remind that the required run rate has already climbed above the 10 runs per over level. Both these batsmen don't have much time to settle in.

Remember that this ground (Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi) has the longest boundaries out of all the IPL grounds.
You are right, average batting first score is 165 in this ground and MI scored far above that. I doubt RR would win the match, they have lost Jaiswal. The guy got back to the team but failed to get impressed once again. Anyway, although I want MI to win, but would love to see a competition.

Royal's fortune might change again, once Ben Stokes join the team, poor guy still stuck at the quarantine. For now MI seems favourite, question is what margin...  Undecided
I have changed my mind now. MI had lost their ground in this ground against CSK while batting first. I'm expecting that will repeat again. Moreover, MI don't have good records against RR within last few years. Let's see what happen tonight.

Remember that this ground (Sheikh Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi) has the longest boundaries out of all the IPL grounds. So if MI score somewhere around 170-180, then it is going to be a par score (even against Smith/Samson/Buttler). Right now they are 148/4, with 2.4 overs to go. So I guess they can achieve a score in excess of 170. I would still say that MI is having the advantage here. Anything above 180 would be a match winning total.

Haha he is a talented bowler but obviously so far hasn't proved his worth. IPL this year is really harsh for bowlers. Types of grounds like sharjah especially are the main problem for the bowlers. I doubt one can find any good bowlers in this type of tournament. But yes Siraj has just bowled well in domestic cricket only not in IPL so far. Even Shivam Mavi is another great young pacer he has played well so far in this IPL let's see if he is able to perform his best or not.
SRH and MI bowlers did okay job in Sharjah in the last game. BCCI trying hard for Shiraj and Khaleel they are even regular member in India A team but as soon as they comes in international arena they fails and i feel Sandeep Saini is going to outplay both of them as far as selection is concern.

Shivam Mavi and other young bowlers like Nagarkoti are young and they should be fine as long as they are not facing more injury.

Do you know when his quarantine period is going to end? This is going to be such a life changing moment for the Rajasthan Royals. I just hope that he doesn't get included in today's match, because I made a bet in favor of MI. If they include Stokes in the playing XI, then most probably Tom Curran will be dropped. I don't think that they are going to drop Jos Buttler/Steve Smith/Jofra Archer.
6 days quarntine so 4-5 more days to go. Yeah Tom Curran was his replacement in the Squad so he might get dropped.

Holy cow Siraj...... took a wicket
Hahah you are underestimating Siraj Man. He has bowled pretty nice in domestic bowling and even had some good matches while in SRH. But yes after coming into RCB his performance has been nightmare.
He surprised me with his bowling yesterday, he did pretty good job. Giving breakthrough to his team and taking Pant's wicket after getting hit for six was very good comeback but but Grin one isolated performance is not going to change anything lol

Who are you taking? I'm probably going with MI to have easy win tonight. What do you think?
Who is hector on superbru? I can't see his name here but it seems like it's amishmanish here as he doesn't have a udername here.

Mumbai Indians have the momentum with them. They have won their last two matches, while the Rajasthan Royals lost their last two. MI had a disappointing start to this season, but now they are making up for it. On the other hand, RR had such an explosive start, but now their momentum seems to be waning. I will be going with MI, and as I can see almost 80% of those in the pool have picked Mumbai.

This round is disaster for me as well. For now only 2 wins and 2nd from bottom and previous round ended up being 2nd from top  Grin. So, anything is possible, and I would not rule out Rajavu, roysesuper, RapTarX and deadley who are at 5 points. One match where they take 2 points and any of the top 3 miss that so it will be equal and will depend upon other matches. Since we have 3 matches, so we have good chance for them as well to make it to top.

Three matches are remaining, but apart from today's match the remaining two are more or less predictable. KKR vs CSK is going to be a lop-sided contest, despite the fact that CSK won their last match. I don't expect Watson and du Plessis to rescue them every time. Regarding the last match (SRH vs KXIP), since Bhuvneshwar Kumar is injured, I would assume that KXIP is having a fair amount of advantage.

Who is going to win Round 3?

We have two with 7 points each (Little Mouse and hector), while MoSala has 6 points. With just 3 matches remaining in this round, I don't expect anyone else to be the round winner. For me, this round turned out to be a disaster, as I received 0 points from the first two matches (made a big mistake with the SRH vs CSK match). Hope that I will be able to make a comeback for the next round (4th).

RCB has Aaron Finch, Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers, the players any team would dream
Lol, why would anyone dream such a batting line up combination who have never win an IPL  Grin Kidding. However, RCB with a huge batting line up, could never have a successful tournament. Also, their batsman are not consistent at all. If a player hit one century every 10 matches and hit duck on all the other matches, I doubt he could be called somewhat good batsman. RCB needs player who can play consistently and some changes in their bowling.
I'm going with MI tonight, aalthough it will be a big challenge to win for both teams.
Absolutely right you're because team contribution is more needed to win a match. Rcb has good lineup on Batting side but they aren't contributing so much. If they effort on it, hopefully they can able to come back again.

Delhi is absolutely in a good form and its batsman that is helping them to win the matches. RCB on other hand played so well a match before this and looks so much promising that they are back in winning more but again their opponent were too good for them.
Bad run for me continues and lost again ystd as well.

On top of that, the arrogance they show on the field (the lack of apology from Navdeep Saini after the beamer being the perfect example) makes it extremely hard to support them. In the first match I supported them, because I am a big fan of Virat. But their arrogance and inconsistent performances make me think otherwise.
Kohli encourage his bowlers to hit batsmen on the head with the bouncers, saw many times in the Test cricket and heard stump mic/ saw hand gestures in the IPL "Maar sar par maar", even against the young players Pant, Nitish Rana, Pritvi Shaw.

Not sure if it was intentional beamer but this is the second time Saini hit the batsman, first victim was Tewatia (he went straight to him and said sorry) but not this time..

RCB has a lot of heavyweight players such as Kohli, de Villiers, Finch and Chahal. But they have hardly any team bonding. On top of that, the arrogance they show on the field (the lack of apology from Navdeep Saini after the beamer being the perfect example) makes it extremely hard to support them.
