Changed my mind for RR. It's now narrow.
After an outstanding last round I am struggling in this round. It seems DC has some marcy on me LOL
Only 2 points out of 6 matches to far.

Having said that. Dhoni finished the match with the six after ages so i don't mind much hehe it was paisa vasool moment.
Gave me flashbacks of the World Cup winning 6 which felt great. I think it's the same stadium too.LOL.. everyone went for KKR today and therefore points gained remain at 0 for all the participants.
Damn. I don't think Tripathi's catch would change the result since Punjab just needed a couple more runs. Also, why didn't SRK play in the previous matches? He has been performing consistently well down the order in recent times. 
LOL.. everyone went for KKR today and therefore points gained remain at 0 for all the participants. No one really expected KKR to lose to such a weak team. I was hoping for a KKR win until the last moment. Venkatesh Iyer got KL Rahul early on and nearly got Shahrukh Khan out, but Tripathi just couldn't hold on to the catch. If that catch was taken, then in all probability KKR would have won. Anyway, a win by Kings suits me more. Narrow win by KKR would have meant just one point for me, and two points each to JSRAW and Rapter.
How many more matches left? I think I'm officially out of contest as I can't get so many points to chase the top guys lol. I need to have won all the rest matches with margin point while the top guys need to lose point. My calculation now is somewhat like MI to qualify for the play off.
12 and you can still climb up if you manage to win all remaining games with the margin points. Btw you're not that far.Lol. That didn't age well. @Vishnu's luck is crazy recently. It looked like CSK would thrash SRH within 15 overs at one point, but MSD took it deep as usual and helped his team win the match in a stylish manner though it was a narrow win.
SRH morale is down in the gutter in recent times(Warner getting kicked, consistently poor domestic performers etc) which is why betting on them is very risky currently.
Yeah very poorly aged post lol. Vishnu cheated, he changed his option after the toss so his last margin points shouldn't count in my retarded world

This is what happens when the team is overdependent on a handful of players. They were heavily dependent on Warner and Williamson for batting, and Rashid Khan for bowling. The problem is that these players can't be in good form all the time and there may be ups and downs. The other players need to provide support during bad times, and that hasn't happened yet. Only Wriddhiman Saha has been consistent with the bat. Jason Roy had one good game and then his form went downhill. And I am not sure what role players like Abdul Samad and Priyam Garg are doing in SRH squad.
Vishnu was hinting something else but went exactly opposite.

errr CSK 74/0

but I didn't expect almost everyone to choose similar options.
We do have some differences today when choosing options, which is good thing i suppose. Going with the underdog and i think SRH might win today because they have nothing to lose so there is a chance that players can express themselves freely when comparing to CSK. Also there is a possibility of CSK humiliating them lol, would be perfect if match going deep tho.

^^^ RR had very little chance of winning the match and that is represented in the picks by various users. The problem here with the pool is that if we pick an underdog and ends up with a win, we would still receive just 1 point. It is not like a normal bet, when we get much better returns when the underdog wins. So it makes no sense to make a bet in favor of a team, which is having low chances of victory. Expect the same for today's match (Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Chennai Super Kings) as well. Most of the bets will be favoring CSK.
Okay fellas, today's point table doesn't look good if RCB wins the match.
We need to stop doing that. We are wasting game points as well if we all happen to choose only one team with exact same -winning margin-. Need some diversity with the result here folks.
Only famLFC is playing by the rules.
Lol. Initially, I chose an easy win for RCB, but expected RR to give them a tough fight due to which I settled for a comfortable margin which was clearly the wrong choice, but I didn't expect almost everyone to choose similar options.We need to stop doing that.

Bet on CSK in their upcoming match against SRH and I hope everyone didn't choose similar options. Expecting CSK to continue their recent win streak.

Shocked to see RR post 149/9. The openers gave them an amazing start, but the middle order and tail-enders screwed up big-time. They are over-dependent on Samson currently.
Harshal was dangerous as usual towards the end and he almost scored another hattrick. Tewatia, Parag, Morris etc are out of form and they are badly missing Buttler, Archer, Stokes etc. They are most likely out of the race for the playoffs if they lose this one.

Well... Samson failed today. I guess his bad patch has started again. Today it was Evin Lewis and Yashaswi Jaiswal who gave them a very good start. But amazing to see the RCB bowlers pulling back things in the final overs. Harshal Patel has to be one of the most underrated bowlers in the IPL. At times he can be expensive, but he always picks up important wickets. But quite shocked to see RCB dropping Jamieson. He is one of the most expensive buys.. do they think that Garton is a better bowler compared to him?
What is your prediction about today's RR vs RCB match? I thought since there is no hope of going to the next round of RR if they lose this match, maybe in this match, they will perform better than the previous match. They started the match very well. They collected 77 runs in the first wicket partnership. But after that, no batsman could stay at the crease for long. At the end of 20 overs, they collected only 149 runs. They lost 9 wickets. Now RCB is more likely to win.

Its fun part, this makes IPL very juicy to watch and very unpredictable. I really hope that play off final tally comes down to run-rate haha.
CSK and DC qualified which implies that RCB, MI, KKR, Punjab and RR are fighting for the remaining 2 spots. RCB and KKR are in a better position to grab the remaining 2 spots currently in my opinion.At one point, CSK had just 1-2 wins from their 10 matches, but they won 3 out of the next 4 matches (that was when Ruturaj Gaikwad was included in the playing XI and they finally dropped the out of form Kedar Jadahav). CSK in 2020, SRH in 2021.
Completely forgot about CSK winning continuously towards the end of the season. Jadhav needs to retire across all formats of Cricket since he hasn't been performing for a long period of time.
This is where we stand. Each team has to play 14 Matches
-4 games for Royal Challangers, so they seem almost safe if they manage to win 2 more games.
-Riders and MI both are left with 3 games under their belt and same points so competition would be tough, KKR has better RR but RR can't save em if they fail to perform. MI is champion team so they can bounce back.
-Punjab's future looks bad as they left with only 3 games and they have a history of throwing games from winning position.
-Rajasthan need to win every game if they want something.
-Sunrisers are already out but they can play the role of party pooper, it would be fun to watch if they manage with their last 4 games lol

My luck sucks. Fortune favours the brave. Never expected Roy to replace Warner who powered SRH to a comfortable win. SRH management needs to be replaced completely in my opinion.
SRH are basically eliminated at this point which is why there is no pressure on them. On the other hand, RR's chances of making it to the playoffs are low primarily due to their NRR.

They persisted with David Warner for so long, despite his poor form. And Jason Roy was just sitting at the bench, endlessly waiting for his chances. If he was given a chance earlier, then SRH would have been in a much better position. SRH resembles CSK in 2020 season. At one point, CSK had just 1-2 wins from their 10 matches, but they won 3 out of the next 4 matches (that was when Ruturaj Gaikwad was included in the playing XI and they finally dropped the out of form Kedar Jadahav).

We have entered the phase where low ranking teams on the table are going to ruin the party for the play offs contenders. Its fun part, this makes IPL very juicy to watch and very unpredictable.

Dude, you serious? RR lost yesterday's match and I think it's due to your bet.
You guys won't believe what happened to me. Before the start of the round, I placed my bets for all the matches and locked them. And then SRH started losing match after match. I wanted to change my bet to RR for yesterday's match, but it was not possible (since I already locked them). And know what? I got two points from yesterday's match. I couldn't believe my luck when I saw the points table. And JSRAW was the only other user who made a bet in favor of SRH. Everyone else went for RR.
