IPL Matches today might decide top 4 to qualify

Two matches will be played to day in IPL and it includes 3 team who are struggling to make it to the top 4 in the points table. The forth team is one of the title favorites Kings XI Punjab. Here are the IPL matches to be played today:

1. Sun Risers Hyderabad Vs Kings XI Punjab at Hyderabad, 4 pm onwards
2. Kolkata Knight Riders vs Mumbai Indians at Cuttack, 8 pm onwards

Victory is crucial here for all the teams, Kings XI Punjab if wins here will regain number 1 position from Chennai Super Kings. Hyderabad on the other hand will gain 2 more points and reach the top 4. However that position can be quickly taken by KKR if the manage to defeat the Mumbai team.

If Mumbai Indians win they still have very less chances of making it to the play offs. Still nothing can be said till league stage matches are over. Most of the teams still have 4-5 games left and consecutive wins or loses can change the teams fortune in IPL.

IPL Match Chennai Super Kings v Kings XI Punjab

I hope you enjoyed the first two matches of IPL season 7. The first match between KKR and Mumbai Indians marked the opening of the IPL 2014 on 16th followed by another exciting IPL Match at Sharjah on 17th.

IPL match today is important specially for the Kings XI Punjab and the explosive batsmen Virendar Sehwag. A good start to the tournament can not only help Kings XI team to race to the knock our for the first time but also help Sehwag mark a comeback to the Indian team and hopefully play the 2015 ICC world cup.

The opponents Chennai Supper Kings are the most successful team of IPL having been played the IPL finals for maximum numbers and also Super Kings are the only team to win the title more than once. Kings XI on the other hand don't had a nice journey of IPL so far in six season, hopefully seventh season may prove lucky for the team.

Best past of Kings XI is that they have got players from the defending champions Mumbai this time, Mitchell Johnson and Glenn Maxwell. Both these players can make a solid contribution to the success of the team.

Chennai on the other hand have issues like match fixing etc however they have the captain cool who is not only the most successful captain of IPL but one of the most successful captains of Indian cricket team. 

IPL Match at Sharjah Today Live Score

The first match of IPL7 was played yesterday at Abu Dhabi between KKR and Mumbai Indians. The second match of the tournament will be played today at Sharjah cricket ground, that previously have help lots of highly popular international cricket matches. Match starts at 6:30 pm local time and participating teams are Delhi Daredevils and Royal Challengers Bangalore. For Delhi team IPL has not been a happy story so far and they have mostly remain in the bottom of the IPL points table in previous seasons. RCB on the other hand despite being the most star studded team has been unable to win IPL so far, though they appeared in the final once in IPL2 but got defeated by Deccan Chargers team.

DD vs RCB is gonna be an interesting match and hopefully it'd attract huge crowd today in the evening for the match. RCB team are the favorites here but I expect a good fight from Daredevisl as well. In T20 no team is weak and anything could happen in the course of 20 overs of an inning.

You can catch all the live action of the IPL match today at the scoreboard.

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 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.
