Who will play in IPL 2 season semifinals?

This is an important question to all because the Points table is in rough and tough position. All the teams’ earning points are very close and difficult to say who will be qualified for the semi finals. Three teams are out of completion. Delhi Daredevils, Kolkata Knight Riders and Mumbai Indians has listed their manes. IPL Delhi is on the top of the points table, IPL Kolkata is on the bottom and no way to improve IPL Mumbai is similar area.

 

I do not like to discuss about those teams who have no chance to improve their positions. But the competition will be among the rest five teams. Royal Challengers Bangalore in the 6^th position has just 12 points and 2 matches still left to play in the semi final they must have to win. To be qualified they have to dominate Deccan Chargers and Delhi Daredevils.

 

Rajasthan Royals just has one mach along with Kolkata Knight Riders. There is no alternative of wins. Previously I told that IPL Kolkata has nothing to lose. The 13 match of Rajasthan was along with Delhi. Serious batting slow down break all hopes of wins. If they can win in last mach then their points will be 15 from 13 but trembling.

 

Deccan Chargers and Kings XI Punjab has no alternative of wins or Rajasthan have to lose in the match against Kolkata, but we can not hope so. Now, all competition with Rajasthan Royals and Bangalore’s victory.

 

It is clear that rest of the matches is very important to select the top 4 teams. Now all eyes to fix on Kolkata Knight Riders v Rajasthan Royals match. 

Chelsea boss supports to apply video technology

Chelsea has kicked out from the Semi-final of the Uefa Champions league bearing a painfully memory. They able to make draw along with Barcelona in the first leg match of UCL 08-09 semifinals at the home ground of Barcelona. But during the second leg match Chelsea netted one goal but during the injury time Barcelona paid them and made the match tie. As a result, Barcelona promoted to the final of ucl this year. Chelsea could not satisfy about some decision the referee during the match time. May this is the main cause that Chelsea boss Guus Hiddink supports using video technology in the serious moments of the match.

 

Goal reported: 

"In other sports like rugby and American football they have the ability to use technology at vital moments," started the Dutchman.

"In rugby and American football when the video decision is made, that's the decision. It's a fact that if technology had been in use we would be in the Champions League final now.

 

Although I did not find any comment from the side of Chelsea indicating the exact points. But it is clear to all they are indicating the foul of Didier Drogba and the hand ball inside the penalty area. At last, for bad behavior Didier Drogba has been fined. All the situation bounds them to make this comments. As a supporter, I support it especially for the crucial moment it is ok.
