Khawaja,Hales & Ferguson makes a good start for Sydney Thunder and put 219 in first innings.
Melbourne now need 220 runs to chase. They need a solid start in order to win this match.

A team which has unlimited amount of money can purchase those top 24 players which is available and it can be a strategical ploy and if they can dominate the game it can be a advertising strategy as well as all these team investors are business personalities if i am not mistaken and they do not need to spend much money for other media advertisement if they can dominate the tournament every time.
I am just speculating and i have no idea why these cap to the players.

Purchasing all the top players can never be realized, as it will end up triggering a bidding war. It is going to be one franchise against the other seven (soon it will be nine). At the most, a particular team may end up with 1/4th or 1/5th of the top players and I don't think that it should give any lop-sided advantage to that franchise. EPL teams follow the same strategy and it hasn't impacted the competitiveness among various clubs.
Adelaide Strikers won by 71 runs.Consecutive wins for the Strikers . Thoroughly professional performance from their bowlers here.
A great match on behalf of the Adelaide Strikers. P. Salt made 51 off 31 balls. Great an innings. The most interesting thing in this match is, all the bowlers in Adelaide took 2 wickets each.

A team can purchase only a limited number of players (around 24 if I am not wrong), so the argument is not right. Even if a team such as Mumbai Indians pour a lot of money to purchase the top 24 players (which is very unlikely), there are enough quality players left for the other teams. But I agree that the shuffling of players must stop. It is confusing for the fans to see the top players changing the franchises every year.

Adelaide Strikers are in very good form and right now they are topping the BBL points table with 13 points. They are among the strongest teams in the tournament with players such as Phil Salt, Alex Carey, Rashid Khan and Peter Siddle. Today the turning point came when Rashid Khan added some valuable runs during the final overs, when he scored 29 runs from 13 balls. None of the Perth bowlers could contain the batsmen, with the exception of Mitchell Marsh.

The only reason i can think to have a cap on player salaries is to avoid a team having a monopoly who have unlimited resources to purchase any player and if that happens the competition level dips and it can affect the entire IPL brand.
The only change i would like to see is to stop shuffling the players every year. They can have player transfers and these bidding should happen every 2 or 3 years so that they can build a fan following outside India.

Why can't they remove the budget cap? Why should the BCCI put a cap on player salaries? Obviously there is an argument that if the salary cap is not there, then weaker franchises would struggle to retain their players. But that goes against the spirit of free choice. If a franchise can't afford good players, then they should not be participating in the IPL, period. In the end, players are going to benefit in the form of increased salaries.

I don't remember reading or heard anything about franchises raising this issue yet, i might have missed that.
I am not fan of restricting franchise to retaining only 4 players as making a winning combination for the squad takes some times, its kinda weird that one franchise investing time and resources on the player and in next auction another franchise robbing them and fans also gets confused as sometime they are more loyal to their fav players instead of franchise so it would be good idea if they increase the limit to 7-8 players or may be increase franchise overall budget to 20-30% so that they can buy back their existing players (the ones performing good or attracting higher bidders)

You are right but i still don't see any possibility of 5 foreign players in the squad anytime soon. Although i do like the idea of introducing extra spot for them and i am in favor. As far as undeserving - nonperforming players are concern, franchise do release such players every year and they are doing the same for next season as well.

If I am not wrong, some of the franchises have already raised this issue with the BCCI (regarding the limit of 4 overseas players). Maintaining the quality would be very difficult, if they stick with the limitation of 4 overseas players, and then increase the number of teams to 10. Another issue is that the franchises are allowed to retain a maximum of 4 players, which will make it very tough for the new teams to get quality players.

May be they are not in rush and want to take their sweet time as building 2 new teams from scratch could be a bit complex task in the next 4-5 months. They are not even holding off the auction for 2021, at least not grand auction like it used to be.
5 overseas players seems tough atm but i see this is happening in the near future if they are planning to expand the IPL teams to 12.

What we have seen during the IPL 2020 is that the limitation of 4 overseas players in the playing XI has meant that a lot of promising players were unable to find a slot, while among the local players there were a number of undeserving ones who managed to get included (to name a few, Kedar Jadhav of CSK, Sarfaraz Khan of KXIP, Shahbaz Nadeem of SRH.etc). Increasing the limit to 5 would mean that only quality players are included in the XI.

10 Teams IPL is about to come in 2022 season.
They should have done this from IPL 2021 onward. I always thought that 8 was too low. In England they have 18, and there is no reason why India shouldn't have the same number of teams, as the player pool is comparatively much larger. Anyway, 10 will do for now. But they need to increase the limit on overseas players to 5 per team, and remove the salary cap.

Few months back IPL 2020 ended and in just a couple of month IPL 2021 will start. It will be too early for these two new teams to get everything done. Therefore they will start from 2022 because of time constraints.

But we never heard of any politics in Australian cricket board or in England cricket board because they have a proper system where players are selected on their performances only and there are no favors for anyone. Those boards who are unable to overcome these politics, their team will go down in performance.
You are right.We can look at Zimbabwe and Pakistan as examples. The Zimbabwean team played great at one time. But now Afghanistan will easily lose them too. The Pakistan team was earlier compared to the first tier team. Now they have no glory like before.You are right.We can look at Zimbabwe and Pakistan as examples.

You cannot compare the team as Zimbabwe lost their top players due to political reasons and Afghanistan has one of the best spinners in world cricket in Rashid Khan and he will easily fit into any team in the world because of his bowling skills and if a team has a player like that then they can win matches. I still believe that Pakistan has a formidable team in their home soil and we are yet to see a series due to security reasons for over a decade and once that is sorted out we could see them perform well in their own backyard.
