Yes its good lesson for me now in future I will never do this and just concentrate of my schedule and work its better then these games thanks or this good and positive feedback for me 

+1
 

You postponed your meet ups so they postponed the game..! you should get a message out of that and try not to postpone your necessary work any further. :p haha ..!

I postpone my few meets up just because of this match but this shit heavy rain give me too much frustration now hope what happen tomorrow I want these matches with full overs

KKR and their fans won't agree to you though..! but who cares about KKR as long as we see KXIP in finals and then winning IPL

If there is no full match then I dont want reduce match. then it will be better KXIP will go to final without playing a ball.

WTF the team for the finals will be decided on who plays one over better.. that's total BS.. why don't they just toss a coin and decide who goes ahead...! its much more convenient you can do it indoor so even rain doesn't matter..!

If the weather or ground conditions do not permit a full game in Kolkata on Wednesday as well, overs will be reduced till it is a five-over-a-side affair. If even that is not possible, as per the playing conditions, the winner will be decided via a Super Over. The latest the Super Over can begin is 9.10 pm.

If that, too, is ruled out, then the side which finished the league stage with more wins - that is, Kings XI - will go through to the final. Thundershowers "in spots" are forecast for Kolkata for Wednesday.

Same here..! but anyway.. we got two matches tomorrow.. so can njoy both of them..! BTW if it rains tomorrow as well what will happen..? will KXIP will qualify automatically to the finals due to High RunRate or something else.?

bad news I was waiting since morning for this match.

Sadly it is Postponed due to heavy rain In Eden Gardens..! So we will have 2 matches tomorrow
1st KXIP VS KKR at 4:00 PM
2nd CSK VS MI at 8:00 PM

big match today 1st qualifier

KXIP vs KKR.

I am hoping KXIP will continue dream run and win the match to reach Final.

Teams qualifying for semi finals in IPL over the years -
2008 - CSK, RR, DD, KXIP
2009 - CSK, RCB, DC, DD
2010 - CSK, MI, DC, RCB
2011 - CSK, RCB, MI, KKR
2012 - CSK, KKR, MI, DD
2013 - CSK, MI, RR, SRH
2014 - CSK, KXIP, KKR, MI

So CSK is one of the most Consistent teams over the years

Just watching the repeat on SONY SIX and its still no less exciting ..! the only good thing is you heart is not beating at abnormal rate..! at the lat point of match now where they need 6 on last ball

IPL 2014: The run-rate situation from Mumbai Indians vs Rajasthan Royals clarified
MI could have Made to the Qualifiers even in 15.1 Overs
Here’s the reason why it was possible:

It is not the target, but the final score that is taken into account for NRR calculations. The number of deliveries to chase down the target was 87 for Mumbai prior to the target being 190.

However, the chasing team - if they take a few extra deliveries to get home – can still push their NRR up if they manage a final score that is sufficiently higher by hitting a boundary.

Mumbai Indians were actually ahead of Rajasthan Royals' NRR when they were level on scores at 189, but had Mumbai only managed to get the winning run by a single, they would have fallen behind the opposition.

Since they consumed one extra ball, 191 was their new target to achieve a higher NRR. As they needed just the one run to win, they were restricted with the only option of going for a boundary – running two was ruled out.

However, had the delivery 14.4 been a dot ball, they would have still been in the game. A 4 or a 6 from either of the last two balls of the 15th over would have also seen Mumbai qualify.

Assume if they’d managed only dots for next three deliveries (14.4, 14.5 and 14.6), then it would have still been possible for Mumbai to qualify with a six from the first ball of the 16th over too. If this had happened, Mumbai would have ended with a run-rate of 0.006 higher than Rajasthan.

It is also to be noted that if Faulkner had bowled a dot ball on 14.4, then he could have just bowled a wide on 14.5 and that would have been enough to see the Royals through to the playoffs. A wide on the 14.4 delivery was out of the question though, as that ball wouldn’t have been counted and the Indians would have reached the target in the original slot of 14.3 overs.

Damn what a match I was out with friend for celebrating he won one of biggest bet of life for MI to qualify I was not in favor but he put and won I still in shock what happen to RR unbelievable stuff but Anderson and Rayadu 

Not only one of the best IPL match but surely one of the top 3 matches I have ever seen that went on to a wire..!

great match love to see match like this.

same here you cant blame anyone, it was MI day so they made it and it was one of the best IPL match.

This is the reason why people say IPL is scripted.. but i don't blame them who will say this is possible in real life..!
