Looks like RCB might change their fortunes since they included Glenn Maxwell as he is playing with freedom and the innovative shots he comes up with is ridiculous, reverse sweeping fast bowlers for sixes and it is hard to set fielders for shots like that and he bowled one of the best spells i have seen in his T20 career.
Virat Kohli is performing but he is not an impact player as he is not scoring at a huge strike rate and he is consistent, the impact players in the team are Glenn Maxwell and definitely he is an advantage as he could change the match in a short period and ABD is yet to regain his form he though he played some great looking shot in his small cameo.

Drama at the last ball again! But, what a match!

There'll always be drama in the IPL. CSK win in the last ball with a match-winning performance from Jadeja. He hits 22 off just only 8 deliveries. He deserves all the credit. Whether it's batting, bowling, or fielding, he can do it all. One of the most valuable all-rounders in world cricket at the moment is Ravindra Jadeja. Do you agree?
The second last over was the turning point of the match when Prasidh Krishna bowled and Ravindra Jadeja went after him scoring 22 runs and in the last over CSK needed just 4 runs and Narine bowled well and i thought we will see a repeat of the RR match as the first ball was a wicket and then picking the wicket of Jadeja and i thought it will end up in a super over but Chahar was someone connect the ball for a single.

CSK won the match in the last ball and i watched the highlights and it was a good one and they are at the top of the points table and i am surprised to see that MI are struggling to win matches or even pose a challenge against RCB.

Today's match was just a disaster for Mumbai Indians. No one really expected RCB to win by such a big margin (54 runs). Mumbai Indians have some of the best T20 players in their squad - Jasprit Bumrah, Trent Boult, Rohit Sharma, Quinton de Kock, Kieron Pollard.etc. If you take the list of top-10 players in T20 cricket, all of these players will get included in that list. But they have performed horribly so far in this season (apart from Bumrah). Boult and Milne have been inconsistent, while Rohit and de Kock are getting no support from SKY and Ishan Kishan.

What's wrong with SRH? Is this team so bad that they cannot chase a score of 125 runs. Restricting batsmen and bad batting are two different things. SRH showed how pathetic batting looks like yesterday.
The lack of local talent is their problem when selecting their team, they have great players in the side but they have the restrictions to pick only 4 International players and they are playing for a long time and they have no idea they could scout local talents to complete the team and that is their biggest problem from what i understand.

Don't think that there is still a chance for KKR. It should be easy for CSK from here on. They just need another 66 runs in 8 overs, with 8 wickets in hand. Well.. that is unless the CSK fold up like the Punjab Kings during their match against the RR. But the difference here is that the CSK middle order is very experienced, unlike the case with Punjab Kings. Unless either Russell or Lockie Ferguson come up with some magic, I don't think that there is any chance for a different outcome to this mach. BTW, KKR should drop Narine after this match.

182 would have been a good target. But KKR made only 171, so the target is 172.  Grin
At one point i never thought they will reach 150 runs when Andre Russell was back in the pavilion in the 17th over and the score was 125 runs and to reach 171 runs from that score, full credits goes to Dinesh Karthik and Nitish Rana.

And right now the CSK openers (Ruturaj Gaikwad and Faf du Plessis) are smashing KKR bowlers all around the park. The poor form of Sunil Narine (with both the bat and ball) is a big handicap for the KKR. Even today, he's proving to be expensive and so far he has conceded 25 runs from his 2 overs. Other bowlers have been tidy, but Narine has handed over the advantage back to CSK. KKR needs a wicket soon, as the match is rapidly drifting out of their control. Won't be a bad idea for Andre Russell to have a couple of overs. He is a partnership breaker.
Chennai Super Kings started really good but the middle order is the issue, if they can score some quick runs then they can continue their winning tradition and i expect CSK to win the match, but you never know what will happen in the final few overs, if KKR can pick wickets then the pressure will be back on CSK, if not they will win the match.

Although 182 is a good enough target. But Chennai's batsmen are in good form. Especially Du Plessis and Gaikwat. If KKR bowlers are not able to pick up this wicket fast, Chennai will win today too. It is difficult to stop these two players if they are in form. However, there are many experienced bowlers in the Kolkata squad. Let's see which team wins.

Chennai's collection of 52 runs in 6 overs, without losing a wicket. Gaikwad scored 23 off 18 balls and Du Plessis scored 29 off 18 balls.

I thought that CSK may get another easy win today, but KKR made the recovery well in the last few overs. Nitish Rana managed the innings well after Rahul Tripathi got out, and he received enough support from Andre Russell and Dinesh Karthik. Bowling was always the weak link for CSK and today Sam Curran went for 56 runs from his 4 overs. The pitch looks conductive for batting, but 172 is going to be a tough target for the CSK. But who knows? Their batsmen are in good form, and they probably have the best captain in this edition of the IPL.

When is the end date for this season of IPL ?

IPL final will be played on 10 of October. You can always watch the highlights of the matches on youtube and can stay update on live scoring through  cricinfo.com.  Also if you need to see live action, then wait  bit as T20 worldcup is around the corner.

KKR has won the previous two matches very well. Their bowlers are in great form. Despite RCB's strong batting lineup, they lost all their wickets for just 92 runs. Chennai is a stable team, this match will be very competitive. If KKR wins the toss and decides to field, I think they will be able to beat Chennai too.

They were always heavily dependent on Kane Williamson and David Warner. And now these two are not in good form. And look at the local batsmen on their side. Kedar Jadhav was kicked out of the CSK side after his horrendous performance in 2020. Now he has found a place with SRH. I expected better from Wriddhiman Saha and Manish Pandey, but they have their own limitations. And to add to all this, SRH has a very lengthy tail, starting with Abdul Samad and Jason Holder. The team balance is just not there. 

The players on the SRH team are not bad, but being that they are not in form. The team has since relied heavily on Williamson and Werner. So when they lost form, the performance of the rest of the team collapsed. When top-order players do not perform well, it becomes difficult for other players on the team to perform. Top-order players have to be responsible.

Glad that i stayed out of placing a bet in both the matches today in the IPL, because i would have predicted the wrong team to win the match. Both the teams won simply because their bowlers were able to restrict the batsman with their variations and it is a really rare occasion where we see bowlers dominating both the matches and the best bowlers will always stand out from the crowd.

I thought RR would win today. But they lost 2 wickets for 6 runs in just 1.1 overs. At the end of 7 overs, RR's collection is 28/3. They need 127 runs from 78 balls. It is not possible to predict the outcome of the match.
Even i was expecting Rajasthan Royals to win the match but they already lost 5 wickets and as long as Sanju Samson is in the crease they have the opportunity to win the match as he can strike the ball well and his captaincy was the reason they won the last match and even though their asking rate is 19 runs per over.

Damn another wicket is gone, now it is an impossible task as he cannot bat without anyone supporting on the other side.
I'm not sure whether Delhi Capitals bowlers bowled well or if Rajasthan Royals batsmen played poorly. I think both things but, nevertheless, congratulations
on winning. Delhi Capitals won their match convincingly to take the top spot in the IPL2021 table. This year, Delhi deserves the IPL trophy for their contributions to the team from each individual.
Today's second match end with many twists as SRH done very good job restricted Punjab kings to just 125/7 Holder is God gifted fighter on top with his skills, but sadly he fails to provide some good results to his team now again today they were looking comfortable after brilliant bowling but now their batting line up is not giving same passion, and they lost this match by 5 runs even after super bowling Holder was on crease till end but on other side not one giving him any favor which ends in bad lost Mohammad Shami and Bishnoi done good damage which was not recoverable for Punjab Kings even this win is not helpful for any team but still it is good for Punjab Kings.

In today's match the bowlers dominated the match and it is good to see this in T20 once in a while. Delhi Capitals bowlers were too good for Rajasthan Royals. Anrich Nortje, Anrich Nortje, Kagiso Rabada, Axar Patel and Avesh Khan bowled really well and if the Delhi Capitals were able to score a decent score then they have the bowlers to trouble the opposition.

The Punjab Kings match really surprised me as Sunrisers Hyderabad was chasing a modest score of 125 runs and yet they were not able to chase them and Mohammed Shami was the pick of the bowlers but the rest of the bowlers contributed in the match to defend a small total.

IPL is too much unpredictable. And a lot of miracles happen here. And a lot of miracles happen here. In the previous match, the RR team scored 185 runs against Punjab. When DC gave a target of 155 runs today, I thought RR would win today. But they lost 2 wickets for 6 runs in just 1.1 overs. At the end of 7 overs, RR's collection is 28/3. They need 127 runs from 78 balls. It is not possible to predict the outcome of the match.
I was not expecting collapse like this from Royals batting line up they're surely going down very badly right now and all hopes for play-offs are also ended all batsmen giving wickets like crap Delhi Capitals bowlers was on top from start of inning, and they are not allowed Royals batting to do something for win or near to win some magical bowling for their team Delhi Capitals and this win can give them top rank in league and sure spot in play-offs. Now time for Royals to think because now time is very short for comeback from this worst defeat.
