This is turning out to be a bad evening for cricket fans. Earlier we had one sided game in form of DC vs MI, where Mumbai thrashed the delhi, now RCB vs SRH seems to heading on the same direction. RCB's big guns already gone and they didn't even cross 100 runs. Considering its Sharjah and dew effect in second inning for bowling side, RCB is in deep trouble.
Sunrisers do need this match if they want to play the play-offs. It's quite interesting how most of the teams are on same level behind Mumbai Indians and the competition would get tough.
And just as I write it, Rashid Khan takes Philipe, with 4 crucial wicket down, I see this game been going on the hands on Hyderabad. An impressive bowling spell by the two bowlers.

With another dismal performance from DC i am sure they will drop out as the rest of the teams are in good form at the later part of the tournament and they lost three matches in a row and this was their chance to book their berth and they flopped big time.
For SRH today is a must win match and if RCB wins they would secure the spot as the second team to qualify but if SRH wins they have a much better chance to qualify as they have a much better run rate.
SRH bowlers are bowling so tight today and RCB's batting powerhouse captain Virat Kohli have already got out. Last week i told something about Afgan spinner Rashid K and today he will have to play the key role by taking early wickets. As of now RCB batsman are not getting easy chances of making runs and AB de Villiers is also taking time to get set on the pitch. Its so important to take early wickets between powerplay and SRH bowlers are trying to do that from their end. For SRH today is a must win match and if RCB wins they would secure the spot as the second team to qualify but if SRH wins they have a much better chance to qualify as they have a much better run rate.
SRH have some good batsman on their team and most of them are in good form. I don't think its gonna be so hard for them to chase totals between 160 to 170 but all we know what AB de Villiers can do if he stay till the end. Lets see what drama left for us.
Update: SRH just took the wicket of AB de Villiers.
And also the losing team may have chance to slip from the top four because lot of teams will stick with 14 points so the run rate will decide which one to go and definitely RCB and DC has less run rate difference even though they are in top of the table now.

The winner will qualify for the playoffs.
And also the losing team may have chance to slip from the top four because lot of teams will stick with 14 points so the run rate will decide which one to go and definitely RCB and DC has less run rate difference even though they are in top of the table now.MI won the match one sided by 9 wickets and Ishan was not out at 72. DC is not consistent team and in last 5 matches they have lost 4. Only some days they play amazing cricket and rest of their matches are very ordinary and this would not help them in the upcoming matches with type of performances unless they make some change in plan as a team unit.
MI will mostly be top of the table it seems now.
You can simply generalize their performance how DC were flopped their last four games. They must work on their batting side. Otherwise I don't see them in playoffs. If they manage qualify, then there will be no fun since KXIP can give more challeng.

The only team that has qualified for the playoff as of now is the Mumbai Indians. They have 16 points, with a very good net run rate (+1.186). RCB and DC are with 14 points each, and they need to win at least one of the remaining matches. DC is taking on MI today, and if Delhi loses this match then their progression becomes very difficult. For RCB, the next match is against SRH. If both DC and RCB lose their matches, then everything will come down to the RCB vs DC clash on Monday. The winner will qualify for the playoffs.
What a match we have had. Even the Chris Gayle 99 could not take Kings XI Punjab towards the victory. That's how tough is the competition in this year's IPL. Still its not sure who will make to the top 4 teams. With the loss of Kings XI Punjab, the points table is very much open now for teams to qualify.
And let's not forget the fact that the KXIP management refused to include Gayle in the playing XI during the initial 6-7 matches, because they wanted to give repeated chances to Glan Maxwell and mediocre players such as Mandeep Singh and Sarfaraz Khan. Gayle has played a huge role during the second half of the group stage, and without him, KXIP would have been in very bad shape.
It has been long I watch this cricket game but anyhow Pakistan will not qualify to quarter final . The players are still trying their best to win the match but the game is not going well with them. Caribbean have never qualify for this game before I think this is their chance to qualify to quarter final to guarantee them victory for the tournament. Their players are really surprised me this tournament because they don't use to play like the way they are playing now. Caribbean will go to win this game.

As I said 3 teams with the same 12 points, and SRH also have chance to equal the value by tomorrow and if they do then they will be in the top 4 because of their positive run rate. Tomorrow will be a double header due to the weekend, match between SRH vs RCB could be more interesting.
It would be funny if RCB looses to SRH tomorrow as both teams really need a win and hence expecting a big clash and the Delhi Mumbai match is the other match and Mumbai already qualified and for Delhi it is an important match but Mumbai needs to cling on to the position and if Delhi looses they might even drop out from the qualifying contention 
.Anything can happen in IPL, I think RCB is a stronger team than SRH and In my opinion, they should win convincingly. Between MI and DC, both teams are in the top four but MI is a far better team and they should easily win the match.
What an innings by Universal Boss Chris Gayle but feeling bad for Gayle as he miss his hundred by 1 run. RR royals need 186 runs to win this game.It's do or die match for RR.
Congrats Chris Gayle for first player in T20 cricket history to smash 1000 Six.

Felt bad for Gayle for missing his well-deserved century just by a single run. RR is batting quite well and now required 67 in 48 balls and lost just 2 wickets. So, with this they could easily clinch this match unless lose couple of quick wickets. If RR wins then possibly, they can be at No 5 in ranking after this match as would be close in NRR with existing KKR at 5th spot.

Rajasthan Royals are out of form and may not win this match. However this match is very important for Kings XI Punjab to make their position strong in top 4 teams.
Rajasthan Royals won their last match against MI chasing a huge target and they looked it make easy and that is what they showed today too. Gayle played a cracking innings and that could not help Punjab as RR started attacking from the start and Stokes continued his from the century he scored in the last match and gave them a quick start and apart from that run out RR dominated the chase.
Chris Gayle played a great game today. Unfortunately, he was bowled by Joffra Archer for 99 runs. Kings XI Punjab could not win today even after this stormy innings of Chris Gayle. Today, every player of Rajasthan Royals has identified their caste. Robin Uthappa, Benstock, Steven Smith, Sanju Samson, Jos Butler have all played this remarkable innings. Rajasthan Royals have risen to number five in the points table after winning today's match. This is really good news for them.

Gayle is just outstanding and the way in which he is able to take apart bowlers even at this age is flawless but RR dropped two catches before Gayle started firing and Punjab should have included him in the team from the beginning and if that was the case they would have qualified already as they lost some really close matches in the earlier rounds and now with the win by RR things are getting interested as anyone could qualify if they win the next two matches.
