So after this match, SRH will end up with 10 points. They need to win both their remaining matches, to have any realistic chance of qualifying for the playoffs. I guess they are going to win by a good margin, and that is going to help their run rate as well. Even before this match their net run rate was positive, and that gives them an advantage over teams such as KKR and KXIP.

Great start by Warner and W.Shah. th erun rate is 12 per over till 7 now. If this continue I beliee that Hyd will win. This is a do or die match for Hyd.

At the end of 12 overs, SRH was able to score 142 runs by losing only one wicket. They may be able to score more than 210 runs. But still I can't surely say that they will be the winner of today's match. I haven't any trust on the SRH team. DD DC is a very good team. They have the ability to win by chasing this target. Yet I hope DD DC will wins the match. Let's see what happens in the match.
Sunrisers Hyderabad put a big target on the board 219/2. DC looking very poor to chase down this target, at the moment it looks like hard to attainable after 4 wickets fall. Here once again Rashid Khan early strikes in his first over! A magical player with every day Performance he is absolutely a gem for SRH

Punjab was sitting losing back earlier but as soon as Gayle came to playing 11 things have changed.
Now Punjab is on a winning streak. The team is young and forward. I guess the two teams that steals the eyes are Delhi and Punjab. of course the Kohli luck is working this time, but still, I prefer DC and Punjab.

There is no doubt that the inclusion of Chris Gayle has strengthened the KXIP middle order. Earlier whenever KL Rahul or Mayank Agarwal used to get out inside the first powerplay, the KXIP middle order used to collapse. Maxwell and other batsmen were unable to dig in and rescue the team. That has changed now. Gayle is scoring runs and he is scoring them quickly.
I think having a players like Gayle on the team has boosted the morale of KXIP's players. No one in the middler order is playing with pressure. They are playing smoothly and almost everyone is able to score well. Which we didn’t see before the gayle came to the team .Gayle doesn't do destructive batting like before now. He tries to run without lost his wicket. I'm waiting for a hundrade of Gayle.

Delhi started really well but now we are seeing some problems as Prithvi Shaw was dropped because of his form but they have a solid bowling line up and if they can put a good total they have the bowlers to defend the total. For RCB Kohli is not in great touch even though he is scoring runs, if not for ABD they would have lost some of the matches.


Today's match SRH needs to win the match if they want to be in the contention and if they lost there is no way they would qualify but still i go with Delhi to win the match considering the batting issues of SRH.

SRH vs DC match today. A win in this match should propel DC to the top of the table, as their run-rate is also quite good.
After losing 7 wickets for 24 runs in that collapse against KXIP, Sunrisers should probably just let DC take the win points. If Shaw strikes a bit of form and Pant contributes to the run-rate the way he does, then this could well be my first winning pick in this round on the Pool. I missed picking the first 3 and the next 3 went the other way, so I am at a glorious 0/6 from 9 picks. (I have a haunch that the begging spoon appearing against my profile has something to do with this?)

This round was really bad for me as well. We had too many upsets and strong teams such as DC and MI suffered thrashing defeats. But none of those defeats were more shocking than the one SRH suffered at the hands of KXIP. Chasing 127 to win, they lost the match when their middle and lower order collapsed. Mumbai Indians' defeat against RR was also difficult to fathom. After making a total of 195 at Abu Dhabi, they went on to lose the match.

SRH vs DC match today. A win in this match should propel DC to the top of the table, as their run-rate is also quite good. The main battle is between the SRH top-order and the pace bowlers of DC (Anrich Nortje-Kagiso Rabada). The morale will be down in the SRH camp, after their shocking defeat to KXIP (they were bowled out for 114 chasing a target of 127 versus the KXIP). But then, DC also went down by 59 runs during their last match.

KKR gave a target of 150 runs. After watching the first few overs of the match I didn’t think they would be able to run so much. Gill and Morgan's partnership was very good. If Morgan could have played a few more overs, Kolkata might have been able to score 160 runs. 150 is a good target. KKR has a chance to win this match. But you know, KXIP's batting lineup is very good and everyone is in form now. If KXIP will win today's match, they may be able to play in the playoffs. Let's see who wins the game!
In Sharjah, even 160 is not a par score. You need somewhere around 180-190. I think it is going to be a cakewalk for Punjab. After 7 overs, they are firmly on track and haven't lost any wickets. For KKR, the pacers were unimpressive (don't know why the best bowler is not being called to bowl yet - Lockie Ferguson). The spinners (Sunil Narine & Varun Chakravarthy) are bowling economically, but if they want to have any chance in this match, then they need to take quick wickets.

You are absolutely correct mate, 160 is not perfect score for Sarjah. But KKR's bowling lineup is good. So that I thought it is hard for KXIP to chase this score. But they won the match very easily.
I was just amazed to see KXIP's matches. They were the bottom team of the points table. Now they have come up very well. They have won 5 games in a row. Their next 2 opponents are RR and CSK. Hopefully KXIP will be able to win against them very well. And will ensure the chance to play the playoff.

Back to back 5 wins and KXIP move up to fourth spot.That's why we were waiting to see Chris Gayle on the field,Gayle made the match very easy by scoring 51 runs in 29 balls . KXIP beat KKR by eight wickets.
The reason KXIP was not winning in the first seven matches was because Chris Gayle was sitting in the stands and once he is back in the team they won five matches in a row and this is the best back come for any team in this tournament. I am confused with the team selection of KKR as they picked Nagarkoti but he did not bowl a single ball and if that is the plan then they should have included a batsman.

After five very healthy wins now KXIP bring themself in very good position and they can qualify for Play Off's as next match is against SRH and on other side KKR is going to face CSK which is also good and interesting match but this current form of KXIP give them very good boost for going up as three already settled and now just one last spot is waiting for team which is good competition lets watch who will go for this.

In Ideal situation this should be an easy match for KXIP to win it and considering their last few matches. Unless Punjab loses couple of wickets here and that could only give KKR some chance to put back pressure and this may be possible as in last few days have seen some amazing turnaround matches too.

KXIP requires 64 in 8 overs and 9 wickets left.

Yes, An excellent start from Punjab, very early strike put into the pressure KKR! There already a counterattack by KKR after losing 3 early wickets, run rate quite good at the moment. Morgan played a good captain role, Gill on the pitch right now. As must win match for both teams so we expected big total!
Shubman Gill is the only established batsman in the crease as they already lost their fifth wicket, good to see that KKR started counter attacking when they lost their third wicket and that is how Morgan plays and looking at the match situation it is highly likely that Punjab will carry on their winning momentum and this win would take them to the fourth spot.  

Edit: They lost their 7th wicket.

Good start by KXIP, Smiley Punjab has able to picked 3 wickets in 2 overs. So it's really a good sign for Punjab. I can not imagine how KKR lost their 3 wickets in short time. It's very unfortunate for KKR. But I also think KKR will try their best to win this match. So if they can gain a big partnership there is still chance to do a fighting score.
