A win in today's IPL T20 match between Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders will give the winning team an easy rider further to secure the semi final spot in the IPL 2012. Knight Riders is at number 2 position in IPL points table whereas Super Kings who are two time winner of the Indian Premier league twenty twenty championship are ranked at number 4 this season so far.

In the midst of IPL Ricky Ponting breaks test record

Its IPL, IPL and IPL everywhere in India and other majot cricket crazy nations. However in the midst of IPL mega events former Australian cricket team captain Ricky Ponting became the secong highest run scorer in test cricket. Playing in the test series against West Indies Ponting crossed the record which was once held by Rahul Dravid. Pontring crossed 13,288 runs in test cricket at the score of 23 and thus he is now the second highest run scorer in test matches. Since Rahul Dravid has retired from all form of international cricket Ponting is now behind to Sachin Tendulkar only. Sachin Tendulkar who is also celebrating his 39 birthday today is highest run getter in tests with 15,470 at the average of 55.44.

Ricky Ponting may have achieved a rare record but he is going in poor form in the series and has failed to get some good runs against West Indies in the ongoing series. This means that Ponting will once again be under pressure of retirement from tests.

In the IPL two matches will be played today, first between Delhi Deardevils and Pune Warriors at Subrata Roy Sahara Stadium, Pune. Last time both the team played in IPL 5 at Delhi and Pune won the match by the match winning performance of the captain Saurav Ganguly. Hopefully Delhi will be looking to take the revenge along with maintaining the top position in the IPL points table.

Second match will be played between Kolkata Night Riders and Deccan Chargers. Deccan has been quiet unlucky team to loose all the 5 matches they have played so far, few of them were close ones. Hopefully we will see Deccan team tasting the first win of the tournament today. Watch all the live score updates enjoy the T20 mela called IPL.

Kings XI Punjab vs Kolkata Knight Riders Match Today

At home ground Kolkata failed to chase a low score of 132 against Kings XI Punjab team. Today they face the same team but at different location. Today's match IPL match between Punjab and Kolkata will be played at PCS stadium, Mohali.

Both the teams have 4 points so far in the IPL, thus a win is much needed so that the team can get the hopes of qualifying to the next round easily without having the extra pressure in the last matches of the IPL. Kings XI however will be more beneficial from a match win here as they have played one match (4) less as compared to Knight Riders (5).

IPL updates: Matches, Players, Points & Live Scores

With more than one week past the IPL opening ceremony, the mega cricketing even or T20 extravaganza is now gaining momentum. So far Mumbai has maintained to being the top of the points table but I am sure next week will show lots of shuffling in the points table.

Kings XI punjab team has won only one of the 3 games they played but I think Azhar Mahmood who had previously played for Pakistan national cricket team and now is a British citizen will be joinign the Punjab team. He is cleared VISA and allowed to play in Punjab and delhi Matches. Adam Gilchrist the captian of Kings XI Punjab team said such a talented player joining the team will be helpful. Mahmood has been highest run scorer if the England domestic T20 competition.

In the match to be played today Pune Wariors will play against Chennai Super Kings, had it be last season most of us would have considered it as a one sided game and Chennai given the upper hand. However this year Pune is a different team and have won both the games they have played so far. Hopefully this IPL will bring some fame to the captain of Pune, Saurav Ganguly who has been in the media highlight for some wrong reasons. Just tune in to watch all the live action later in the day.

IPL match today live

First of all take a look ar updated IPL points table. Now lets discuss the match to be played today. Today's IPL matcdh will be played at Visakhapatnam between Deccan Chargers and Mumbai Indians. Mumbai have played 2 matches out of which they have won one and lost one. Decann chargers on the other hand lost the only match they have played in IPL so far. Thus a vistory for both the team will be helpful to move ahead in points table and also get some pressure off for such a long tournament.

Pune specially if wins the match today will move from the last spost of the pointds table. Surprisingly Delhi Deardevils team has been consistent in all the seasons of IPL and this team has been competiting for the last spots. I hope Delhi team will improve and atleast qualify for the the knockouts this year.
