In the context of the tournament, this is probably as dead as a rubber you could get this IPL. CSK assured of the second place finish and DD are the only team who are currently out of contention. But again this will be good for the young Indian players in the DD team to have another hit and score some runs in IPL. DD have nothing to lose and winning the last two games will give them great confidence for the next season.

Today is virtually a rest day amidst the intense week Action starts again from tomorrow (the most important match). If KKR wins then it will be a setback for RCB (pressure of winning against RR with unknown huge margin, even if they do, that can be surpassed by MI on the next day against DD easily)

MI will somehow be in favorable position always! MI's spot in playoffs is almost guaranteed unless they don't lose that match against DD!

Pant will never succeed in International cricket.
He just slogs each ball with eyes closed against every bowler. This might work in IPL for 1-2 seasons but will never work in international cricket.

Chennai Super Oldies will win this.

No score board pressure. Perfect for oldies to canter to the target.

In the end Delhi won

 

[RamLakhan]

Rahul & co should plan and go berserk against CSK and set a huge target (bat first). They will have an outside chance to qualify!
