KKR needs to win today's match against CSK, but I am not that excited about their chances. When was the last time any of their bowlers (apart from Varun Chakravarthy) had a match winning performance? Sunil Narine looks like a shadow of his former self. Pat Cummins is yet to do any justice to his huge price tag. And the less talked about Kamlesh Nagarkoti and Prasidh Krishna, that better. Overall, KKR has been a huge disappointment this season (after starting well, with 4 wins from the first 6 matches).
KKR has tough chance to make it to playoffs even if they win their remaining two matches, and they still don't find their right combination with few injuries as well. CSK is playing without any pressure and too much of experiment on their combination for their next season's good combination strategy.

Tomorrow Kolkata Knight Riders needs to win the match against Chennai Super Kings if they want to qualify. I hope KKR will bring back Andre Russel back in the team.
No doubt today's match is very important for KKR in order to get back to the top 4 for CSK there is nothing to lose as they are already out of the tournament.
The Win probability for CSK is 45% and for KKR is 65% but CSK can destroy the dream of KKR reaching the top 4, KKR lost to KXIP in the last match and CSK won their last match with RCB.
Today's match will be an interesting match to watch.
First I thought maybe we will see a good match by Virat and AB. But unfortunately both have not played good match today. I don't know why they sad me most of the time.
It is because MI have the bowlers to restrict them 
. RCB fell short of 15 to 20 runs and if they were able to score according to the start they got they could have won the match.BTW 164 is a good score for both side. If RCB can present their best performance it's possible to win this match, again if MI do little good they can easily reach the destination today. My bet to MI.
The difference here was that RCB has the worst bowling line up while MI has the batting dept even with the absence of Rohit Sharma and anything around 8.2 run rate is achievable for MI with the bowlers RCB had. Tomorrow Kolkata Knight Riders needs to win the match against Chennai Super Kings if they want to qualify. I hope KKR will bring back Andre Russel back in the team.

The scenarios have completely changed. This week was good for the bottom ranking teams, and really bad for some of the top ranking teams such as DC and MI. Earlier I was thinking that teams such as DC and MI are almost assured of playoff qualification. Even if they lose some of their matches, it won't affect their chances. But the problem is that they lost those matches, and they lost them by huge margins (yesterday DC went down by 88 runs).
The net run rate will be a huge factor as all the bottom ranked teams started winning and there is even a possibility that DC would not get a spot at the semi finals if they loose matches again and the bottom teams could win every match. The situation is that CSK is completely out of the tournament and the teams like KKR, Punjab and even SRH have a chance to get the spot.The scenarios have completely changed.

It still looks like 50/50 and can go either way. 17th over, which is being bowled by Chris Morris is making the difference. Both Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya are struggling to score runs against him. 31 runs needed off 19 balls, and this can get very tight. A lot will depend on who is going to bowl the remaining three overs. Steyn needs to bowl at least one, and he was disappointing earlier.
Edit: boundary of the last ball. 27 needed from 3 overs.

RCB scored 164 runs in 20 overs by losing 6 wickets. MI is a very good team in this season, and they are in a great from now. Now they are at the top of the points table. I don't think it is difficult for them to win this match by chasing 164 runs. However, this time IPL is so unpredictable. Anything can be happen.

After 5 over MI able to score 37 without losing any wickets.

Match is on interesting mode as MI require 48 in 5 overs. If MI loses 1-2 wickets, then it would be more interesting else Pandya and Suryakumar are on crease and can easily chase down this target. Surya has completed his half century. Also, it is battle for 1st spot as well as if RCB wins it they move to 1st in ranking.

MI won the toss and elected to bowl first on their today's match against RCB.Its sad to know that Hitman still not to fit for playing so Pollard will be captaining for today's match as well.No changes were made in the playing XI from their last match while RCB made some interesting changes, importantly steyn is playing in.Going to be high scoring game so lets get the party started.

Royal Challengers Bangalore started well and scored 130 runs in 15 overs. I am sure that they can reach 200 runs very easily from here because they also have wickets in hand. Both of them are the most two strongest team of IPL and i am looking to see a tough match.

SRH's run rate has got such a massive boost. Earlier their net run rate was in negative, and just because of one massive victory, it has gone in to positive now (+0.396, with only the Mumbai Indians having a better run rate). With a lot of teams likely to end up on 14-points each, the run rate can be very important. All they need to do is to win the remaining two matches.
Yeah, if SRH can win the next two matches they have a bright chance to reach playoff round due to their NRR (Net Run Rate). But it also depends on Kings XI Punjab and Kolkata Knight Riders performance. If they also can win their rest of the matches SHR will have no chance to get into qualifier round due to less points. Let's see what will happen and how XIP,KKR and SRH come back to fight. After getting a massive win, SunRisers Hyderabad have moved up to the 6th position in the point table. Yet it's much difficult so sorry to say SRH don't have any chance to playoff round at this stage. IPL 2020 getting more interesting now with still no one confirms their play off place, let's hope for the best.

This was the first time Warner was able to give SRH a good quick start in this IPL usually he was taking a lot of balls and the inclusion of Saha was a game changer and this is the first time i am seeing him play and once they posted a huge total they always have the bowling line up to restrict any team.
The top two for SRH which includes Warner is always scoring the bulk of the team runs and the problem with the team is the middle order who fail to make any impact. Warner is a true pioneer of T20 and he was not in the best touch but he changed that today by giving the team a quick start and Saha played a good innings in his first match this season. Despite these big wins i doubt they would qualify because i think it is too late as the competition is high from Punjab and KKR.legendary

Both teams are playing great. Andh they are on the top of the point table. It will not be easy to win them.
