Sunrisers and Kings XI seek golden opportunity

Only one match is scheduled to be played in IPL today. Match would be played between Kings XI Punjab and the Sunrisers Hyderabad at Hyderabad. For both teams its a golden opportunity to make the chances of qualifying to the play offs little easier. Sunriser team is currently placed at number 3 in IPL points table and a victory today will push them to number 1 position. Sunrisers need to win this match for sure as today they would have played seven IPL matches. They must win and keep life easy.

Kings Eleven on the other hand have played 4, won 2 and are placed in bottom 4. A win here would not only push the team higher in points table but also they can play remaining matches with less pressure.

While Kings XI has the firepower in batting and bowling both the Hyderabad team is the one who is capable of defending lower totals. They have the balance in the spin and fast attack with Amit Mishra, Dale Steyn and Ishant Sharma. In any day these bowlers can win the match for the Hyderabad team.

Punjab team on the other hand is known to defeat opponents at their home ground. They have done that many times and this time can be no different at Deccan as well.

Just wait for few hours to see all the live action of IPL match today.

Sunrisers strugglin to reach the score of 100 against Pune Warriors

Sunrisers Hyderabad batsmen definitely had a bad day at the pitch today. Team is struggling to reach the total of 100 runs. Just take a look at the live scoreboard and found that the Sunrisers team is struggling at 87 for the loss of seven wickets in 17.3 overs.

Not sure if they would be able to manage the 100 runs score. In any case it'sgoing to be a very difficult task for the Hyderabad bowlers to defend such a low total. However Dale Steyn and Ishant Sharma are in a good form this season of IPL so we can expect them to cause some troubles to the opposition Pune team batsmen. Any score above 110 runs can be good to defend here.

Though this match can be a good entertainer as we've still some overs left and then Pune chase will begin.

Other match that would be played today in IPL is between the Mumbai Indians and the Rajasthan Royals  . Both the team are in good form and have all the top players performing well with bat and the ball. 

KKR to bowl first in IPL Match against Punjab Today

KKR team won the toss first and the captain Gutam Gambhir has decided to bowl first against the hosts Kings XI Punjab team. The main problem with matches in Mohali is that they are not entertaining and many time low scoring. I've watched a couple of IPL matches in Mohali and sometimes the matches end up without even a single sixer being hit in the two innings.

I hope the match between KKR and Kings XI today won't be that dull and we'd be able to see a entertaining T20 encounter today. Its just 15 minutes left for the Kings XI teams batting to start and we'll be able to see the progress of the match from the live scoreboard updates tickling.  Punjab team started the IPL season with a win first time in the history of IPL this year but they are lacking the firepower in the batting. KKR on the other hand is quiet strong team and they might be able to make it to the semifinals this year.

After this match RCB will play against Delhi Daredevils. The Delhi team is the only team in IPL that haven't won any match yet. I wish Delhi team all the best and hope they will win the match today.

Mumbai & RCB play important matches today to keep in the top of points table

Mumbai & RCB play important matches today to keep in the top of points table. Firs Mumbai Indian will play against the Pune Warriors team who might be full charged after the victory in last match that came after more than 10 consecutive defeats. Match will be played at Mumbai but it won't make much difference and there is nothing like home advantage. Mumbai was about to get defeated by Dhoni's Chennai Super Kings unless the magnificent catch by Pollard turned the things in the favor of Mumbai. Mumbai might be looking as a strong team but most of the Mumbai Indians matches end up as very close T20 encounters thus we might expect a very competitive and entertaining IPL T20 match today.

If Pune team wins the match today they will move in the top 5 teams in the points table which means they can fancy the chances of qualifying for the playoffs. On the other hand Mumbai might be looking to win the match and stay in the top 3 teams so that they can easily go for the playoffs without taking much pressure in the last games of the team.

Match between Mumbai and Pune will begin at 4pm and you can read the live scoreboard at this blog or watch the match at youtube or your TV sets at Setmax and other channels.

Second match in the IPL today will begin at 8 pm and will be played at Chennai between the hosts Chennai Super Kings and the Royal Challengers Bangalore. Both the team like to play attacking game and area mong the favorites to win the IPL 2013. The mach would be more like Gayle vs Super Kings as if Chennai gets to take the early wicket of Chris Gayle they have won half the match already. It'd be interesting to see the Ashwin vs Gayle encounter.

Delhi eyes first win of the season in IPL 2013 - Daredevils vs Sunrisers Match Today

If we take a look at the IPL points table then Delhi Daredevils is the only team who is yet to win a match. Delhi team played 3 matches and have lost all of them in this year IPL. Even the Pune Warriors team who hold the record for most consecutive losts in IPL history got to win the match yesterday when they defeated Rajasthan Royals team yesterday.

The good news for Delhi team is that opener Virender Sehwag is fit to play his first game this season and chances are there that Sehwag might give the the start needed to win the match. There game is against a team who has already won 2 of the three matches played and currently placed 4 in the points. Table. Delhi on the other hand is placed at the bottom of the points table and they need continuous wins here to move further in the points table.

IPL Match tomorrow: 

Tomorrow the Pune Warriors team will play against the Mumbai Indians and Mumbai. The Mumbai Indian team looks strong on the papers as compared to the warriors however T20 format of the cricket of of the nature where anything can happen on a given day. So lets wait and wait the live action of the IPL matches and see which on the team qualify for the playoffs.
 

Mumbai Indians scored first 200 plus score of IPL season 6

Yesterday match between Mumbai Indians and Delhi Daredevils was the first match in IPL season 6  to see a score of 200+ runs in an innings. Mumbai Indian become the first team to scare 200+ runs in 20 overs in the Indian Premier League 2013. Delhi team made a good state of the the game yesterday when the opening over my Irfan Pathan was a maiden wicket. Irfan got the wicket of Ricky Ponting in the last ball of first over,without giving a singly run. Soon after three ball Sachin Tendulkar got run out by a direct hit from Jayawardene. Scoring rate was very low for next 2-3 overs and it seemed that the Mumbai Indians team will not be able to make a competitive score but then Karthik (Orange cap holder now) and Rohit Sharma batted beautifully with a100+ runs partnership and then later batsmen made some quick runs by power hitting. In the 20over Mumbai score 209 runs.

A target by 210 runs was always a huge task for the Delhi team who once again played without Sehwag. Once again team opener Chand got out to golden duck (2 golden ducks in 3 matches). Delhi managed 165 runs only and lost the match to a great margin. Now Delhi team has lost 3 matches from  the three they played. Now there life in IPL 6 would be very difficult and they need to win a couple of matches so that they don't end up in the bottom of the points table.

In the second match played between the Sunrisers and RCB, RCB won the match thanks to a superb captains knock by Kohli.

IPL Match today

Today only one match is scheduled to be played in IPL. The match will be played between Kings XI Punjab and the Chennai Super Kings at Mohali. The Chennai Super Kings have lost their first match to Mumbai Indians. Punjab on the other hand have won their first match against the Pune Warriors.

Mohali pitch is known for its bounce and chances are there that both team can play with extra fast bowler.  Just wait and watch how the game proceeds today 8 pm onwards. Catch all the action live from Mohali. Good luck to both the teams.

Delhi Daredevils Vs Mumbai Indian Live March Scoreboard

The match between RCB and the Sunrisers was exciting one. I hope you enjoyed theT20 IPL match played today and now let’s keep our eyes at the live scoreboard of the second IPL match today to be plated between the Mumbai Indians and the Delhi Daredevils team. 

This match would be of very very high importance for the Delhi Daredevils team so as to keep the target of qualifying for the playoffs well within the reach. The Delhi team has already lost the two matches they have played so far and a loss here would make the team to play under high pressure in the remaining matches. Delhi team has played without Sehwag in the two matches and still there is suspense over him playing today. In case Sehwag plays today he will definitely bring some change of fortunes for the team with his explosive opening batting. 

Mumbai team has played two matches so far and have won one. They have played both the matches away from home ground and will be playing first match this IPL season in front of the home ground. Lasith Malinga is expected to play the match today for Mumbai and he will bring a lethal force in the balling line up for Mumbai.  For Delhi last season highest wicket taker Morne Morkel would make the required difference in the bowlers attack. 

Let the game begin

Sunrisers Hyderabad accelerate in the end on innings

Sunrisers Hyderabad and Royal Challengers Hyderabad take on each other once again in the IPL today. Last match between both the team was a exciting T20 thriller which Sunrisers team won in the super over. Today Sunrisers made a slow start of the game but they accelerated in the end.

It seemed like all is going to be well with the Hyderabad team today, they won the toss and elected to bat first. Though they lost the opener Reddy and Pately quickly still the team manged and scoring rate and maintained the wickets in hand so that they can accelerate the score in the end. Team have set a competitive score of 162  for victory to the Bangalore team.

However this score is going to cause difficulties to the RCB team only if the opposition team can get the exploding opener Chris Gayle silent throughout the inning or get him out quickly. For Sunrisers Cameron White and Parera scored quick runs. Both reachin their 40 runs in around 20 odd balls.

RCB innings will start in few minutes from now and we'll see another exciting T20 match for sure.

But remember there would be another T20 encounter later today at 8 pm between the Mumbai Indians and the Delhi Daredevils. Be sure to watch live action and scoreboard for that match following the match between the Sunrisers and the RCB team.

IPL Match today - Rajashtan Royals & KKR

Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders play today to keep up the winning mode. Both Royals and Knight Riders have worn their opening matches and the team would be looking forward to keep on the winning mode. Though it would not be nice to make a statement that any team winning the match today will make it to the play offs but yes, win in the match today will surely make their way to play offs little easier.

In the IPL match today both the teams have a strong teams and match would be a nail biting competition for sure.  You can watch the match live at the Setmax TV channel, youtube or event you can keep a close eye at the cricket match live scoreboard widget ticking at the top.

Live score board of IPL Matches today

Today two matches will be played in the Indian Premier League the world most popular T20 cricket league. Frist match will start at 4 pm local time and will be played between Delhi Daredevils and Rajashtan Royals. Delhi has already lost the first match to the KKR team and they must win the match so as the keep the morale higher. Bad news for the Delhi team is that Sehwag is going to miss this match as well. Sehwag was hte leading scorer for Delhi team last session and he hit consecutive 4-5 half centuries last session. Team might be hoping for Sehwag to get fit and start  playing ASAP to get the confidence and team be back on the winning mode. For Rajashtan Royals Shane Waston is going to miss the match today.

Second match will be played between Mumbai Indians and the Chennai Super Kings. The Mumbai Indians like Delhi team have lost the first match already to they need to win this match so as to keep pressure under control for the remaining matches. They are against a solid team lead by one of the most successful captain not only in IPL but other forms of international cricket as well.  The Chennai team is the only team to have features in the semifinal of every IPL played so far.

I feel like making another posts on the individual matches today as will but it depends on how interesting the matches would go today. In any case you can watch the live scoreboard at this cricket blog. Yesterday was as interesting match between Sunrisers and Pune Warriors, Sunsrisers team defended a low total and I'd say they definitely have a solid and most strong balling line up in the IPL.

Still feeling that IPL needs to me more exciting, this years its not at its peak yet.

Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Pune Warriors IPL Match Today Score

Sunrisers Hyderabad will play against Pune Warriors in the IPL match today. The Sunrisers team was known as Deccan Chargers previously. There might not be much excitement for today's IPL match as both the team have a poor IPL season last year and interesting both the team were in the end of IPL points table last year.

If the Hyderabad team has a new name then the Pune team has got a new captain in the form of Angelo Mathews from Sri Lanka. This is the third match of IPL 2013 season six and here also there a a couple of players to miss the games due to injuries. Pune have lost the captain Michales Clark as he so gonna miss the the IPL games this season whereas the Sunrisers Hyderabad will be missing the in form Sikhar Dhawan.

Yesterdays IPL match between Mumbai and Bangalore was exciting match which Bangalore team won eventually. Ponting and Sachin opened the batting for the Mumbai team and  it was great to see to batting great playing together. Hopefully they'd be able to provide more good opening scores for the Mumbai team. They badly need Malinga  back in squad to stop the scores. The RCB team on the other hand is one man army relying heavily on the heavy weight Chris Gayle.

Good luck to both the team, at least not to finish IPL in bottom  of points table this time.

IPL Match Today - Bangalore v Mumbai Live Score Board

Match between KKR and Daredevils was not as exciting but its just one match and IPL has lot more to offer. Yesterday KKR won the match at home ground. There were good batting performances from both the team captains.

Today in IPL one match will be played between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Mumbai Indians. Both the team are full of cricket stars and also both teams have been performing well in the IPL. As I've written in previous post, this year it'd be virtually impossible to find IPL team that are without any injured players. Same is the case for the Mumbai Indians team, they will be playing today without the lethal bowler Lasith Malinga. As per team management Malinga is expected to miss the opening match due to injury and he'd be fit to play for the remaining IPL matches.  Interestingly team is being lead by one of the most successful captains Ricky Ponting from Australia, who knows how to lead a team to victory.

The RCB team on other hand is a team  that would be lead by a new captain who is being looked upon as future captain of team India. Yes you are right, Virat Kohli will lead the team this IPL and I am little doubtful about Kohli's captainship. Lets wait how he'll lead the team today.

Like Mumbai RCB to will miss the experienced Zaheer Khan from the opening match due to injury.

Highlight of the match today: Harbhajan Singh and Ponting playing together after the Syndey incident. It'd be nice to see Ponting and Sachin batting together if this can happen today.

IPL opening Match - KKR vs Daredevils

IPL is back in action already from the yesterdays opening ceremony. I hope you all enjoyed the opening ceremony. Now today we'll see IPL matches begin officially from 8 pm Indian time. Its just a matter of 5 hours approx.

The first match will be played between the defending champions KKR and the Delhi Daredevils team. For KKR is has been up and down journey before they  win the title last edition of the IPL. However the Delhi team has been consistent making it to playoffs and higher stages of the IPL. For the Delhi Daredevils team its tough time they have already two top players not playing for them this season due to injuries. Kevin Peterson and J. Ryder both will not be able to play this season for the Delhi team. To make it worse The star opener Virender Sehwag will not play the opening match of the tournament.  The New captain Mahela Jayawardene would surely have to get best of the limited option he is left with the team.

Same is the case for the Knight Riders team. Brendon McCullum has notjoined the team yet, Pattison has opted out to prepare for Ashes. Jacques Kallis and the captain Gautam Gambhir just recovered from injuri and illness. However the KKR team do have the confidence on being the defending champions and the team looks stronger than the Delhi team on paper at least.

But this is IPL and be prepared to watch many setbacks.

Let the T20 cricket rock the world now.
