IPL 2009: Chennai Super Kings v Mumbai Indians 1st match Newlands, Cape Town

During the opening day of the IPL second season Chennai Super Kings v Mumbai Indians will meet for the first encounter at Newlands, Cape Town. This is the first match of the IPL 2009. But, in the inaugural Indian Premier League the opening match was between Bangalore Royal Challengers and Kolkata Knight Riders. The Twenty20 formatted IPL tournament become very popular over the world.

 

In the first season, Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians met at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chepauk, Chennai, on 23 April 2008. Mumbai Indians who won the toss and invited the CSK bat first. The CSK scored 208 runs from five wickets. The big challenging score faced them in huge pressure but they took the challenge and scored 202 runs from 7 wickets. The performances of both teams were unbelievable and astonished all the fans. The batsmen enjoyed the match delighted the audiences most. It was the 8^th match of IPL 2008 season.

 

This was the second match of Chennai Super Kings and the home match (first Leg) and similarly for Mumbai Indians second match but away. Indian Captain MS Dhoni was the skipper of CSK and for the absence of Sachin Tendulkar, Harbhajan Singh leaded Mumbai Indians.

 

A Nehra was the first bowlers who attacked Chennai Super Kings batting line-up at the 4^th over. When the team just reached to 31 runs PA Patel surrendered his wicket to A Nehra through the wicket-keeper and it was his only wicket that day. MA Khote was the successful bowler who took 2 wickets by 29 runs. Mumbai Indians’ Captain Harbhajan Singh used 8 men to take the control of opposite batting.

 

ML Hayden the booming batsmen on the side of Chennai Super Kings scored 81 runs from 102 balls and went back to pavilion by the direct hit of Harbhajan Singh. SK Raina was the second highest scorer of 53 from 54 balls and captain MS Dhoni was the third highest scorer 30 from 31 balls.

 

Mumbai Indians’ had to minimize them in 202 runs as a result they lost to Chennai Super Kings for 6 runs. No doubt that it was a painful defeat of very narrow defeat. Except opener L Ronchi and lower-middle order batsman MA Khote could not score good but rest of the batsmen presented themselves amazingly. AM Nayar the highest scored and was not out for 45 runs by playing 53 balls with 6x4 and just a single six and RV Uthappa who is one of the popular Twenty20 formatted success batsmen from the Mumbai Indians side scored 43 runs from 38 balls when he hits 6 fours and one six.

 

Newlands, Cape Town is known as Sahara Park. It is going to the history of the inaugural match of Indian Premier League IPL 2009 second season. It has a capacity of 25,000 audiences and celebrated the first Twenty20 formatted match during the Inaugural World Cup Twenty20 cricket tournament. It was the 4^th match of Twenty20 World Cup 2007 between Australia and Zimbabwe and the last Twenty20 cricket tournament was ICC World Twenty20 - 1st semi final which was played along with New Zealand and Pakistan.

 

Newlands, Cape Town will be the host of 8 matches of IPL 2009 including the opening ceremony. After the opening ceremony two matches will be taken place at the same ground on 18 April 2009. 

Mumbai Indians has been kick out form the Semi-Final

Mumbai Indians has been kick out form the Semi-Final

At last Mumbai Indians has kick out form the Semi-Final. With an exciting victory Rajasthan Royals defeated Mumbai Indians in the 13^th match of Mumbai Indians. Only one match has left of MI. But this defeat destroys all the hopes to play in the semi-final. Now, there is no bound to play semi-final for Delhi Daredevils.

Will Delhi Daredevils play the Semi-Final?

Delhi Daredevils is leading the 3^rd position of the Points Table. After finishing the first round it has secured just 15 points. Now they are in high mental pressure to play semi-final. Although they are in the third position but the other three tams is still on sanding. Anything can happen anytime. Three teams are fighting for the 3^rd and forth position. They are Mumbai Indians, Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Daredevils.

Although Kolkata Knight Riders is in the 5^th position but they lost their hope to play in the Semi-Final of IPL T20. It already has played the selected 14 matches of the first round.

Now question is the can Delhi Daredevils secure the quality to play the Simi-Final of Indian Premier League? The answer is difficult but it is possible if Mumbai Indian gets defeat two matches and other possibilities is if Chennai Super Kings gets defeat of its remain two matches.

The possibilities are not the right measurement but everything could happen in a short time. So the rest matches will be more exciting for all the teams especially who are fighting for the 3^rd and 4^th position of the Indian Premier League Semi-Final. It is difficult for Delhi Daredevils because it has acquired a poor Net RR that could sent them back.

Kolkata Knight Riders has kicked form the Semifinal

The 47th match of IPL T20, Delhi Daredevils v Kolkata Knight Riders, abandoned for rain. No ball has not been bowled in the field. It is one match remaining of 14 matches of the first round. The result has confirmed that Kolkata Knight Rider will not be acquired the qualification to play in the semifinal.

It was the 14^th match of Kolkata Knight Riders and was so important for the team. I think they were serious about the match. May be they were determine to achieve the math and came the ground with full of strong mentality. But the rain demolished all the plan of Sourav’s solders.

The Feroz Shah Kotla of Delhi was full of hope. But the expectation has been blended with in to the dust of Kolkata Knight. Beside it the hope to play semifinal has to bury in the Delhi ground. No ball bowled in the wicket and the result was distributing the two points equally and the total point of Kolkata Knight Riders is 11 now.

Is it possible for Kolkata Knight Riders to qualify for the semifinal? May be not because Delhi Daredevils has one match who is captured 4^th position and other competitor Mumbai Indians who has 3 match is still left now.

The first match of Chennai Super Kings

Chennai Super Kings is one of prestigious and strong squad which is leaded by Indian MS Dhoni. The ODI and Twenty20 World Cup winner captain Doni the highest paid players in the IPL Twenty20 tournament is leading the team. The owner of the team India Cements Ltd. the leading Cement manufacturing company acquired the Chennai Super Kings for US$91. It is a 10 year contact. Former Indian cricket captain Krishnamachari Srikkanth is the brand ambassador of the franchise and south Indian film South Indian film acotor Vijay and Nayantara are the team ambassador.

Fearless rulers have been an intrisic part of Tamil History. The reign of the Chera, Chola Pandya and Pallava dynasties represented the Golden era of Tamil Culture. The kings from their dynasties, fearless warriors in their own right have fought long and hard to establish the supremacy of Tamil rule and expand the Tamil kingdom within the subcontinent and abroad. It is from this rich heritage, that the name Chennai Super Kings draws inspiration. It is only natural that the modern day warriors in the sporting arena would try and replicate the exploits of their ancestors. The addition of the word Super gives the name a young and contemporary feel, which is in keeping with the game format. The 20 twenty as a cricketing format is all about enhanced drama and speed. The format has no scope for half measures, or anything less than a full-spirited war. In a similar fashion, given the mind space that the word "Super" occupies in the Tamil imagination, it enhances the qualities of the word it is prefixed to. Super Kings then is not just about royalty, but about absolute monarchy.

Chennai Super Kings already has played one match with Kings XI Punjab. The result was very positive for the all the team members. Chennai Super Kings, who chose to bat first won the toss and chose bat first. Its total sores came 240 by losing 5 wickets. So it was not very easy to reach for King XI Punjab to rache the target. Running behind this run King XI Punjab scored 207. MEK Hussey was the hero the team who scored 116 from 54 balls.

The next match of Chennai Super Kings on Apr 23, 2008 against Mumbai Indians at 20:00hrs (IST).
