Let's see. I made a bet in favor of MI. And surprisingly a majority from the Bitcointalk pool have opted for MI. Around 2 hours remain and till now there is no news of any of the players pulling out due to COVID 19 infection.

Rohit Sharma and Quinton de Kock will be opening for MI, and Trent Boult/Jasprit Bumrah are likely to open the bowling. For CSK, the middle-order looks strong, with the inclusion of Ravindra Jadeja and MS Dhoni. And indications are that Josh Hazlewood will be paying for CSK today, which will be a very big boost for them.

If CSK bats first, the big concern for the fans would be their ability to score quickly. Most of the players are 30 plus and many are 35 plus, and they don't have as many big hitters as MI.

My gut feeling says that the team which wins the toss will opt to field fist.

Both teams are good but MI usually starts their games with a loss and then start winning games so hoping they follow this trend today as well.

Fielding first is better as the ground doesn't look like a high-scoring one. I feel 170-180 runs can be made max.

@erikalui MI have posted a total of 162 runs, and CSK have already lost the wickets of Watson and Vijay which has made this match suddenly very interesting to watch. Also if CSK continues to lose few more quick wickets then they’ll not be able to chase this target down, however if one or two partnerships can be formed till the 15th over then CSK will have an excellent chance of winning this game.

After that two early wickets, Rayudu and Faf playing sensibly and posted 50 run partnership meanwhile the required run rate is getting higher over 10+.CSK need two big overs to stop the required rate climbing too high or else it will be out of their hands in the final overs.

After a long time this IPL gave an opportunity to see the thriller match and also time with family.
Now Rayudu is doing best job for CSK as attacking on bowlers is going to help him some good they will be in better position in last overs 9 overs and 82 runs left to win with 8 wickets in hand is no big deal hopefully they will no chock and go through without any problem MI was in good position but their lowr middle order was unable to give some good runs so now all is in CSK hands lets see how they do this in death overs.

Putting some money on CSK in initial stage as odds are better, packed up all the pending work so will keep my eyes open today. I opted for MI in our pool as well but MI has a habit of losing every opening game and no idea how pitch is going to behave so will wait for pitch report and toss for final pick-up.

MI squad looking strong af in comparison of CSK.  Grin
MI rarely win the league matches in the first 7 matches. Cheesy But yeah on the comparision MI looks more stronger especially in the bowling unit where as in Chennai young talents and old veterans along with some new players so it is going to be a good test for both the teams.And of course the whole cricket fans in the world is waiting for the match which starts in the next 45 minutes.

People are betting on CSK today so even I joined a free prediction game and bet on CSK. Watching the match after 5 months of wait has been a sheer torture for me so damn excited now. Never knew about Hardik Pandya's brother till now.

Also it will not effect the much because there will be only 3 to 4 matches in PSL only and people would watch them as they will decide the winner of this year's PSL. Cricket lovers can watch and follow both PSL and IPL at the same time.  Smiley

If the matches go ahead, then there will be significant viewership in Pakistan. But it will end up as a loss making exercise for the PCB. I would like them to cancel the remaining matches and to concentrate on PSL 2021. Else it will create a logistical nightmare. All the players (especially the overseas players) need to be brought in, quarantined and bubbles need to be set up.

The international players are ready to come and play. The tournament completion is also necessary for the money which is taken in advance for the  advisements and viewership rights etc. There are lot of other factors why PCB would like to complete the tournament even if they are not able to create the hype again.

Ben Dunk, other foreign players ready to play for Lahore Qalandars and we would love to see him in action again. Although there will be only one or two remaining matches for him in this PSL season but still it will be worth waiting the moment.

This is a bad idea to resume the PSL after a long interval of six months. Now for just 2-3 matches, they need to arrange the logistics and bio-bubbles once again. IMO, they should abandon the remaining matches and prepare for next year's tournament. Even the viewership is going to get affected, as the matches will take place at the same time as the IPL.
Not much people other than Pakistan is going to watch PSL if they conduct their remaining tournament at the time of IPL because both have lot of difference and audience.Bio bubble created by IPL team looks good until now and we are just few days away from watching the biggest cricket tournament.

Now for change of subject can we talk about IPL we have less then 20 hours and after checking few things now I am feeling tomorrow MI are going to win this match as they have some better players and CSK is feeling some pressure after losing two player Raina and Bhaji so what your thoughts about this guys.

Both are experienced and key player for their sides. Raina is just 33 now, though he have retired from the international cricket we can hope to see him playing IPL in the next years also. But it could be the last IPL for Bhaji as he will turn 41 next year.
Mumbai Indians will also has lose one of his gem this year. Malinga will not playing for them. Till both the teams has very good players in their benches.

If ICC is serious about spreading the cricket world wide then they should introduce 24 team world cup tournament for ODI and T-20 instead of 10-12 teams but no they are not interested as they don't want to repeat 2007 like scenario.  

There are no world class 24 countries who play cricket professionally and if they include 24 teams, don't you think the first round of the world cup will be very boring as it will only be played to eliminate the weak 10-15 teams from the tournament.
Secondly what was the 2007 scenario ?
We discuss this scenario before " boring play off in case of 20+ team World Cup". Yeah it would be boring may be 1-2 upset here n there but that's the only way to encourage accociate members, forget about test match, just focus on the shorter format.

2007 wc has 16 teams, India and Pakistan got kicked out early, Which resulted economic disaster for ICC and host West Indies.

Though I still wish they'd spend more on developing and spreading cricket around the world, but it's their choice, people can live without cricket.

The other boards are already agreeing to a lot of unjust demands made by the BCCI. They allow their players to participate in the IPL, while the BCCI never allows the Indian players to participate in the other leagues. No major tournaments are conducted during the two-month IPL window, while none of the other leagues, such as BBL and CPL enjoy such largesse.
Truthfully speaking, IPL is another league when compared to the tournaments that you mentioned in terms of popularity etc which is why they are in the position to make such demands.
More richer the board then more influence you will have that is applied to this, and IPL mainly designed to cover the summer holidays in India where the younger generation is more compared to other countries that is how IPL got more successful and made people to engage into cricket even if they are not a cricket fan earlier due to local patriotism.

Ideally, the revenue should be divided equally between these 16 countries, with another share going to those teams which failed to quality. But the BCCI want half of the revenue from the world cup. Is this fair?
I wouldn't call that ideal. To be fair, it all comes down to which country contributes the most towards the revenue share and we all know that India leads that list. It's simple really. The more you contribute, the higher the revenue share.

No one is going to deny this. Even I agree that Indian market accounts for more than 60% of the ICC revenues. But the question here is, should the ICC given them a disproportionate share of the funds. We are not talking about revenue that originate from the Indian bilateral tours. We are talking about the revenue from ICC tournaments. Take the example of the T20 World Cup. A total of 16 countries participate in the main tournament, and dozens more take part in the qualifiers. Ideally, the revenue should be divided equally between these 16 countries, with another share going to those teams which failed to quality. But the BCCI want half of the revenue from the world cup. Is this fair?
You really don't need to make shit up, this is not true even if we go back to BIG 3 revenue model. Back then (ICC tournament) share distribution was 20 ish%, 4ish% and 2ish% for India, England and Australia respectively. On figures for BCCI it was $593 Million but now it come down to $293 Million, deduction is more than $200 Million What else you are complaining or expecting ?

Plz reread my previous reply to you Tongue

The so called other boards you are talking about, they take commission (10ish%) from the BCCI if their players gets sold in the IPL Auction, they even take extra 10% from the players too for NOC.

Comparison with other franchise is not fair IMO. just look at average salary and revenue. Is BBL or CPL willing to spend 3 Million on Virat? if not why would he go there ? just to give you one bizarre example Rishabh pant IPL salary is more than million, on the other hand you can entire squad in BBL if you got million dollar in your pocket. Having said that for BCCI Indian players are assets (in some case domestic players too) and rightly so considering the shit load amount of money they draw from BCCI and sponsors.

Quote
And the BCCI receives more than $1 billion every year from the IPL (sponsorship, TV rights, gate collection.etc), which they don't share with any of the other boards. And the BCCI is not satisfied even after all this and they want a larger share of the revenues from ICC tournaments as well!
And why should they share the revenue with the others, its local tournament right?
