Double T20 fun at Jaipur - crucial matches for all teams

In the two matches being played today at SMS Jaipur, all the teams should be looking for a win today so as to make there chances to qualify for the further round little easier.  Two matches to be played today are as follows:

Otago Volts v Perth Scorchers
Rajasthan Royals v Lions

Rajasthan Royals have already won their first mach against Mumbai Indians and one win here would make them sure of qualifying to the next round. For the Lions, Otago Volts and Perth Scorchers the respective matched today would be to ensure first victory as their previous matches were washed our due to rain at Ahemdabad.

Lions today face a huge task to cause a upset win. Reason I use the word upset win is not because Lions is a weaker team but the fact that Rajasthan team is strong at home and they have not lost any match here since IPL last year. 

The other match between Otago Volts and Perth Scorchers is going to be a chance for both teams to prove their worth as chances like Champions League T20 might not come always for these teams. For many players this can also be a stage to get entry to the IPL auctions  for next season.

Best wishes to both the teams.

Mumbai Indian Vs Rajashtan Royals in CLT20 today

Qualifiers matches were over yesterday at PCA cricket stadium Mohali where both the two matches played were just a formality with no impact on the qualifying teams. Sunrisers Hyderabad and Otago Volts were already qualified.

Now all the focus moves from Mohali to Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur where the IPL champions Mumbai Indian will play against Rajasthan Royals. Rajasthan Royals who is playing at home ground would be high on confidence because of the fact that they didn't lose any match in IPL 2013 at this ground. Though the team has been hit by some spot fixing scam, probe and trial for which is already in progress. Team still is hopeful for a good start to the tournament.

It'd be last tournament that two star performers from both the team (Sachin for Mumbai Indians and Rahul Dravid for Rajashtan Royals) would be playting in the T20 format, thus it'd be a great values to the fans if both the team stay in the tournament for a longer time.

The match will begin at 8 pm IST and you can catch all the live score of the match from the scorebaord widget added at the blog.

Hope you enjoy the match today. Good luck to both the teams.

Lets see if the Mumbai Indians can win the match in the home conditions, as far as importance of todays game is concerned Rajasthan Royals are already out of the competition for play ofs whereas Mumbai will need only one win from the remaining games better if they can do it today itself.

Mumbai Indians restricted to 94 runs by Rajasthan Royals

Mumbai Indians, a team with strong batting line up was restricted to their lowest ever score in IPL by the Sharne Warne lead Rajasthan Royals. Previous lowest score by Mumbai Indians was 116 runs. So far in the tournament Mumbai teams top orders was scoring runs heavily and thus the middle order didn't have the real match practice leading to the disaster today.

Rajashtan needs just 95 runs and seems they will chase the score comfortable if not easily. Just to update you on yesterdays match Delhi team once again failed to chase the score and remain at the bottom of the points table.

Keep watching the live scoreboard, also don't miss the next match between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Pune Warriors.

First win for Chennai - IPL T20 2011

Well Chennai win the first match of the IPL 2011 and it was anybody's match till the last ball of the match was bowled. but unlike previous IPL seasons KKR the SRK teams looks a strong team and I am sure this time the team will end up in the top one in the points table not the one in the lower numbers as in the past.

IPL Match 2 Mumbai v Rajasthan at Mumbai (BS)

Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan royals both the team are great. Rajasthan royals are the winner of the first IPL tournament, whereas Mumbai Indians have the potential but Unluckily they were unable to reach semis of final in the previous two seasons of IPL. However I am supporting Mumbai Indians and I hope they will surely win the IPL 2010 this time. Good luck to the Mumbai Indias fore the opening match and for whole IPL series.
