Oh Yeah I Am Predicting It

Even before the IPL has started CSK and DD were my favorite teams but  the way CSK has made it to the playoffs gives perfect climax to the story. The IPL 5 has truly served the purpose of T-20 .We have seen many cliffhangers in the league stage which have made us to miss many heartbeats and even after so many ups and downs we are having no surprises and  the best teams have made it to the playoffs .

With the first successful chase of 43 runs in 2 overs , I am predicting it right  about who is going to win a particular match including the way CSK has qualified to the playoffs ,well it might be the  unpredictability factor which had made it more predictable . Deccan Chargers has been given the chokers tag in this IPL looking at their performance in which they are not able to finish the things their way and unfortunately the results do not show how well they have played . It’s the  Deccan  Chargers only who finally got charged up and short circuited  Rajasthan Royals and then doused the hopes of Royal Challengers Bangalore and given the perfect culmination to the league stage  and hence Chennai Super Kings like every year made their way to the playoffs in style .Finally the stats also confirmed that Deccan Chargers , Kings eleven Punjab ,Rajasthan Royals have emerged as the team of this IPL .The games have  been s close because all teams are of equal caliber and now we can expect even better contest between the top 4 teams who have won the battle of nerves in league stage .

For me CSK and DD are the strong contenders of final berth looking at the CSKs  ability  of handling pressure and its team composite full of all rounder although the team has not performed to its potential and have certainly missed specialists but they are the strongest among all four .On the other hand DD have the most reliable and solid batting lineup and so far their bowlers have also complemented that so we can expect a close contest if CSK do not miss this golden opportunity given to it and play to its potential .The reason why KKR and MI could not win IPL 5 are obvious because KKR has to play with DD and MI to CSK and only one can win it !!! Apart from them MI is winning it ugly and are pretty much inconsistent with  their team composition (they probably have tried the maximum number of opening combinations in IPLs ) and also with their  performance ,although KKR played exceptionally well after a not so good start but they are very much dependent on their bowler Sunil Narine and openers ,which may cost them at this level when best play against best .

But one this is sure that this IPL season has been proven better from its previous edition and so we can expect a even better cricket in the play offs and may be hope for a surprise at the end !!!!
