Cricket Moments: Who will qualify for the semifinals
So which teams would you bet on for qualifying for the SemiFinals in the IPL tournament. Rajasthan Royals, then Punjab , then aaa aaa ??? and ????. Yes with mumbai indians winning this match against Chennai superstars there are 4 teams eyeing for the last two positions in the semifinalists list. The four teams are delhi, chennai, kolkata and mumbai.
Chennai are in a better position that the remaining but u cannot say anything for sure. They have started losing matches after Hayden and Hussey left them. Dhoni is the only peson on which the whole team rests on
for the batting and there bowling is just above average. They would require a lot of superstar power to stay where they are right now.
Delhi is in the same condition as chennai except they are now ranking 5th in the tounament. They depend heavily on gambhir and sehwag. Bowling wise - Mcgrath can bowl only 4 overs who will do the remaining while keeping it tight and at the same time taking wickets. There loss to Kolkata has been a major dent and they need to pick themselves up and play as a team. I think that gambhir should take more responsibility and stay on the wicket to lead the team to victories.
Kolkata has the best bowling side in the whole tournament. The major problem it faces is the top order failing consistently. The only shimmer of hope that we saw was ganguly and hussey in the match against Royal challengers, but we cannot trust his consistency. They are fielding and bowling well, all they need to do is stay at the wicket and put some runs on the board.
Mumbai WOW. Yes thats the word you will use after seeing todays match against Chennai. Jayasurya was at his F***ing best. He almost was hitting every ball out of the park and that too with so much ease . He made batting on this wicket look so easy(all other batmen were finding it difficult to even middle the ball). I would give sachin some credit for jayasurya's century. As uttappa said the comeback of sachin has brought in a lot of confidence in the side. I think sachin playing on the other side was one of the factors because of which Jayasurya was playing as he did. So now mumbai has a above average batting side an average bowling side. So we hope to see a lot of action in the coming few days between these teams to qualify for the semifinals.
