Who will win in the IPL T20 2nd semi-final?

Chennai Super Kings and Kings XI Punjab ensure to lead the IPLT20 semi-final. The teams will take part in the 2^nd semi-final on 31 May at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai. Both the teams are so strong that it will be difficult to assume who will play in the final match of the IPL T20 tournament.

Kings XI Punjab is accelerating themselves from the first time although got defeat in the 3 matches in the qualified round. They also beat the top score holder Rajasthan Royals of the tournament. Captain Yuvraj Singh is the hard-hitter batsman in the world. He secured the most six hitter in an over. In the last match of the IPLT20 tournament of robin round league he also hits 3 sixes in an over in a row. Driving on the batsmen rush Kings XI Punjab cashed a record of 222 runs. Personally he scored 49 runs from 16balls in that innings. Shaun Marsh is also a highlighted the batting side of Punjab. He is the most highest total runs record holders and also fourth individual High scores of the tournament. He secured High scores urns from 53 balls with 11 fours and 7 sixes.

The Bowling side of the team is very steady with some powerful bowlers. IK Pathan, S Sreesanth, JR Hopes and new comer PP Chawla is also dominating the batsmen well.

MS Dhoni the Indian ODI and T20 captain it leading the Chennai Super Kings team. Although the team is well decorated with some famous bowlers and batsmen but moving like a motionless vehicle. It seems that the team could kick out from the tournament but Mumbai Indian pathetic defeats awaken the hope to play IPLT20 semi-final.

The 2^nd Semi-Final of IPL will be more attractive than 1^st Semifinal because both the team is strong enough. If you observe the qualified round then you can see that Chennai Super Kings beat King XI Punjab. So it is the most positive side for most losing team Chennai Super Kings. By winning just 8 matches CSK has come to lead semi-final on the other hand KXP get 10 victories in the first round. CSK is mentally strong that they beat all times KXIP on the opposite side Kings XI Punjab got more wins except Chennai Super Kings.

Kings XI Punjab vs Rajasthan Royals: An overview on previous matches

Kings XI Punjab is comparatively a less strong team in IPLT20. It has been played three matches against Chennai Super Kings, Rajasthan Royals and Mumbai Indians and just has become winner in one match against Mumbai Indians. Although it just has won one match but their batting line is so strong that can do anything miracle. If you would watch the match live in Television then you then you easily evaluate that the rivalry movement impressed all the viewers.

In the first match it scored 207 runs by losing 4 wickets and the opposite team cashed 240 runs. All the batsmen scored a stable runs in their own bags. In the second match against Rajasthan Royals, King XI Punjab score 166 runs but the opposite teams aggressive batting brought the victory. In the second match of Kings XI Punjab the two top order batsmen and two middle order batsmen’s fall brought the grip. Here I can add that slightly weak bowling lineup is the main cause of down fall of the team. The character of the Kings XI Punjab in third match was totally opposite than the previous two matches. Both line batting and bowling showed first class performances. KC Sangakkara’s batting was the turning point to cash a stable score. One the other hand the bowling was too tight for the contradictory team Mumbai Indians to dominate well.

It means that the Kings XI Punjab is improving day by day. I think the team management should analysis both the side batting and bowling. The bowling is weaker that batting side. The Mumbai Indians is so weak team that any team can beat them easily. So Kings XI Punjab should not be overconfident in this victory that it could beat any team easily except improving the bowling line-up. Source: cricinfo

Chennai Super Kings’ First match analysis

Chennai Super Kings is one of the unbeaten team of the DLF Indian Premier League, a T20 formatted League. It is going to meet it 3^rd match and it is the 11th match of the DLF IPL series. The team has taken part in the two matches against Kings XI Punjab and Mumbai Indians. The team will have to fight against another unbeaten team Kolkata Knight Rider at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai at 20:00 IST, 14:30 GMT. Both the teams are full of strength to meet each others. Now, the time will explain which team will be defeated on the 26 April match.

The first match summary of Chennai Super Kings innings: It was the 2^nd match of Twenty20 formatted Indian Premier League. Chennai Super Kings won the toss elected to bat first scored 240 runs. It was the record of Twentey20 DLF IPL league. Australian batsman MEK Hussey’s not out 116 was helped it to score this run. Only the Captain of the team did not get more that 2 runs.

Super Kings won but not before surviving a scare after some hectic hitting by Abhishek Nayar (45 n.o., 20b, 6x4, 1x6) and skipper Harbhajan Singh in the end overs. A barrage of fours and sixes brought Mumbai Indians desperately close.

We cannot say that the bowlers of the Chennai Super Kings bowled well. The opposite team Kings XI Punjab scored 207 runs. It was the third highest runs that time. JR Hopes and Sangakara played well. M Muralitharan the top off spinner in the world now a day was bowled better.

The first Two Match Summary of Rajasthan Royals and next

Rajasthan Royals is lowest bid team in the IPL T20 (Indian Premier League, Twenty20). The owner of the team is acquired by Emerging Media group for US$67 and will represent the city of Rajasthan. This is the only team that is leading by a foreign Captain. He is none but World top Spinner and first 700 wicket takers in the Test Match, Shane Warne.

From the beginning, he is leading all of his associates confidently. He is leading Rajasthan Royals not only as a Captain but also Coach too. Although he did not hunt any wicket in the first match along with Delhi Daredevils but in the second match his magic defeated the batsmen of Kings XI Punjab.

The fall of the third wicket put Watson on the defensive briefly. Sensing the need to build a partnership, he held one end up and waited patiently for the bad deliveries. Irfan Pathan got a couple to beat the bat but Punjab weren't prepared for the onslaught that was to come. One particular heave from Watson was so powerful it split the bat in half and yet just carried on over the long-on boundary. Wielding a new bat, Watson took on James Hopes, lofting one over his head on one knee, before nearly decapitating Irfan with a straight drive.

Here I want to remind an advertisement that showed in different satellite TV Channel. “The young man who supported Kings XI Punjab did not care the old man who supported the Rajasthan Royals”. But in the field the outlook-inside was totally changed. Rajasthan Royals counters so hard to Kings XI Punjab with bat-ball in the field.

Both the team Rajasthan Royals and King XI Punjab will meet again on 28 May 2008 at Punjab Cricket Association Stadium, Mohali, Chandigarh. So we have to wait for that day.
