In today's first match CSK was some better and more confident but its very late for them because now they have no chance for play off's
In second match I was feeling RR will do some better but in death overs H Pandya done great damage and give really big and good total on board to MI 54 from 20 balls is very special from any player in for change of play now we can hope MI will win and retain first spot in league.

Today was happy to see CSK approach to the match and some excellent shot selection by Ruturaj which helped CSK to register an easy win over RCB. Also, this is the first time CSK could not make it to top 4 in entire IPL seasons other than those 2 suspended seasons.

In another match Hardik Pandya quick 33 not out in 15 balls has helped them reach 167/5 in 18.4 overs and looking easy to cross 180+ runs and will be interesting to see if Rahul Tewatia would be promoted up the order or continue to bat at No 7 only.

Edit : Hardik hit 7 sixes and made 60 not out in just 21 balls and MI reached 195/5 in 20 overs.

Especially in the last few days things are really weird as it is impossible to predict how the match goes, some days the pitch is behaving like the team batting first will have a hard time and some days the team batting second is struggling and SRH match was a big example as i did not expect them to loose from the start they got and with a small total they lost the match and today CSK out and dusted performed like champions chasing for the first time after the opening match.

There is a slight chance for CSK still to enter into playoffs but it is going to be highly dependent on other teams results.Finally they found the spark on a youngster and he is going to be opening batsman for CSK in my opinion.

Another match MI up against RR, its do or die for RR and they are playing against a tough team to beat in 2020 IPL.

All matches are so unpredictable in this season. Many people thought KXIP had no chance of playing playoff, but they are in a tough position now. Tomorrow KXIP will play against KKR. If KXIP can win the match I think they will be able to play the playoff. CSK played very badly in their previous match, today they won the match in a great way. I'm very lucky I didn't bet against CSK.

This edition of the IPL is getting more and more unpredictable. CSK performed in such a pathetic manner till now, and now they are going to win against RCB in such a convincing manner. RCB's hero of the last match (Mohammed Siraj) was thrashed around the park, while relatively unknown Ruturaj Gaikwad has scored a half-century for the CSK.

CSK are looking in a strong position to win the match with both wickets in hand and they need just 35 runs more. I bet on Bangalore and about to lose it. They have nothing to lose so are playing this match well while Bangalore need to reach the second position and can't afford to lose this match.

I also don't believe in conspiracy theories. But a lot of betting happens in T20 matches, after the second innings has started. As Sithara007 posted, at one point, SRH was at 56/1 from 6 overs. At this point, SRH had a win probability of more than 90% and you can imagine the betting odds for the match at that time. Then Manish Pandey came to bat and he started showcasing his defensive techniques. He failed to provide strike to the other batsman (Vijay Shankar), who was scoring at a better rate. With batsmen such as Priyam Garg to follow, the logical thing to do could have been to get out if he could not score the runs. But he got out only after ensuring that the KXIP had an upper hand in the match.

I saw the same thing happening in one of CSK's matches. I don't remember the opponents, but from a similar win probability and a required run rate of less than 6 runs per over, they went on to lose that match. That match was also a carbon copy of yesterday's match. Team batting second was comfortably placed, before the batsmen suddenly started blocking all the balls. In the end, the required run rate shot up from 5 per over to 8 per over and then they would lose wickets quickly. Now let's not forget the fact that both Chennai Super Kings and Sunrisers Hyderabad were previously associated with match fixing by their owners. CSK was suspended in 2015, while one of the SRH players got banned later for 1 year.

CSK is playing another match against one of their rival team, it looks CSK is playing this match with much positive intent and got paid for it.They restricted RCB  for 145 even Kohli and ABD scored 50 and 39 so it shows that the bowling department got bumped up now its time for the Batsmen to play their potential game.

Brother still every thing is possible in every field even you are going with very high payrolls or any thing else because human greediness never end but right now as we are watching in IPL few matches need intention about this issue but sadly who cares because they have real big packages so no one want to talk about this and all is going good.

I am not sure why everyone here is talking about match fixing in IPL. None here have submitted a proof and most of you are speculating, which I am not willing to take part. If you believe all matches in IPL are fixed then why watch? No one has forced you to. Untill you have a proof, it is better to focus on the game than conspire about it.

@pakhitheboss I don’t know about you but I believe that most people will know that match fixing is rampant in Dubai, and there was a time when the Indian government wasn’t keen for the national team to go there and play. Furthermore another conspiracy theory for all why does BCCI ditch the ICC anti corruption unit for IPL, and decides to partner with Sportrador?. Lastly if match fixing allegations do come out then can we be guaranteed of a fair trial, as the trials will be conducted by BCCI and they’ll do everything in their power to save the league’s image.




Read this article some very interesting points:

Match fixing is nothing new for the Cricket. But with many match fixing related bans of players and officials as well higher payroll for A rated players, it would be unreasonable to think that players in IPL would fix a whole match involving the whole team. It would be a larger risk compared to the profit. Even the previous match fixing were mostly spot fixing by individual players. It was just a bad day for for Hyderabad.

Although Kings XI Punjab scored a very low total of 126 runs and initially i thought that Sunrisers Hyderabad will win this match easily but Kings XI bowling and batting changed the match completely in the favor of them.

Anyone betting today's match will be easy picking. CSK and RR will lose their matches respectively as per their poor performance in the tournament.

You are absolutely spot on on your analysis. I would not say that yesterday match was fixed or not as i did not watch the match, but in such a big tournament, some matches are surely fixed. In some cases, few players are involved in match fixing, if not the whole team.



Infact Conspiracy theory does exist in cricket but unfortuntely we don't have any evidence to proof it.

Conspiracy theory does not work in cricket. It was genuine match and every batsmen struggled in yesterday's match. Check the score board of KXIP batsmen they all were struggling to bat on that pitch and the same happened for SRH batsmen. Only thing that made KXIP a winner was their fielding and brilliant bowling.

When someone scores 14 runs from 29 balls in a T20 match, and that too against bowlers such as Ravi Bishnoi and Murugan Ashwin, it raises a lot of questions. When Manish Pandey came to bat, SRH were 56/1 from 6 overs. In the next 14 overs, they scored just 58 runs. It is very difficult to believe that all this is not intentional. By the time Priyam Garg got a chance to bat, less than 4 overs were remaining. BTW, UAE is quite infamous for match fixing in cricket.. just saying..

Four victories in a row, KXIP would be happier and their morale will be too high in the second half of the tournament. I feel Gayle is their lucky charm. Warner will be a disappointed man after a good effort went in vain in a matter of minutes, they took the match too deep but failed to score runs meanwhile which is the reason for their loss and both teams have weaker middle order.

What a victory by KXIP, they snatched the victory from SRH as it was supposed to be easy win for SRH and I was of same opine that they will win it . But all credit to KXIP bowlers and team for  picking early wickets and then when SRH stabilised in between innings they fought back later and picked up remaining wickets and won in the end by 12 runs.

This real time drama can cost SRH this match as just few minutes back I was feeling they are going to win this match very easily but suddenly they lost this temperment and now struggling really good fight back by KXIP 15 runs with 9 balls left and just 4 four wickets in hand what a drama happening in last part of play.
