Hooked to IPL

Hi,

I have been hooked to IPL-3 and find very little for racing which otherwise is not interesting post derby and invitation.

What a match it was between Mumbai Indians and RajasthanRoyals.No one would have given an iota of chance for Rajasthan Royals but great great batting by Yousuf Pathan enthralled entire nation.They say GREAT CHALLENGES MAKE GREAT HEROES..and it was amply displayed at Mumbai yesterday.

Todays Predictions

Match1:Consistent and Formidable Chennai Super Kings should easily prevail over Over Hyped Deccan Chargers.

CSK has biggest strength in its cool captain M S Dhoni.They have formidable batting line up in Suresh Raina,Mathew Hayden,George Bailey ,Albie Morkel Dhoni also contributing with bat.

CSK bowling department has recieved jolt by loss of Oram,Flintoff..yet they have good bowling line up in Ntini,Muralitharan,Gony,Balaji and Joginder Sharma.

Deccan Chargers bowling was exposed in last match.They are sorely missing Ryan Harris and Kemar Roach.All depends on great start by Gilly and Symonds{very rarely does his perform}.


Match2:Formidable RCB Should prevail over KKR.

Bangalore Royal challenger is The team was owned by Vijay Mallya - who has a lot of qualities, but who isn't best known for his ability to deal with failure, and who has an ego that would struggle to fit into the Chinnaswamy Stadium.

They have great team.Picture this line-up: Jacques Kallis, Manish Pandey, Virat Kohli, Rahul Dravid, Cameron White, Eoin Morgan, Robin Uthappa, Praveen Kumar, Dale Steyn, Anil Kumble, Vinay Kumar/Abhimanyu Mithun

KKR's morale must have been boosted by spectacular win over DC.Closer look at that match reveals that they were at receiving end in both innings...Loosing quick early wickets in first innings and conceeding lot of runs in second innings.It would be prudent to say DC lost that match rather KKR winning it.They have home advantage.
