IPL: Day 5 & 6

Traveling and reffing my first Div 1 premier league rugby match i have been away from the computer.
 IPL has still continued, even with rain delay!

On the 24th saw Bangalore take on Punjab. Pieterson failed, again, but Ryder and Kallis helped the Royals to 168 runs. This however was not enough for the hard fighting Kings. So Punjab finally open their account on a bad day for the captain, batsman of Bangalore!

Decan Charges took on Mumbai Indians with both teams eacualy strong and hungry for another win. Gibbs , with a top-score of 58, Gilchrist and Smith provided for a high paced start, getting the Charges to 168/9.   With a few setbacks they still secured their third straight victory of the tournament -  more than they did whole season last year….   JP Duminy scoring 47 helped the Indian’s, but to no avail as the Charges gave their bowlers a target which they were able to defend.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

With the last day of today it started raining in Cape Town. The rain has been intermittent all day, and the match was called off  three hours after the scheduled start.  Chennai Super Kings v Kolkata Knight Riders will now share a point.

IPL: Day 4

Slept in today as it was a public holiday here. The missus made a great breakfast then we went to go vote.

Eini-meeni-mini-mo.

I did my prediction for superbru in a haste and was so sure Bangalore would win over Deccan’s, but it was not to be so
Gillcrest won the toss and decided to bat. With that he blasted the Chargers in a commanding possition. With the third bad start for Bangalore meant they were struggelign from the start. Maybe Pieterson must go back to England. Dravid did bat well, but was just not good enough.

Bangalore lost by 24 runs, thus putting Deccan on top of the IPL log!

IPL: Day 3

Chennai Super Kings come back well after the defeat in the first match and win the match by 92 runs. 
My prediction was going to be Mr Pieterson’s team, but then my work mate got me chance my mind

So the Kings were defeated in their first match against Mumbai, Bangalore beat last seasons champs, but the match in Port Elizabeth seemed too much for the Royals. Hayden putting on a great 65 runs, putting a decent total of 179/5.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Until tomorrow when the Kings XI Punjab meet Kolkata Knight Riders and Mumbai Indians take on Rajasthan Royals.

My predictions underlined
