None of the teams is really consistent. Delhi and Hyderabad won their first 4 on the trot and then have lost 2 and 3 respectively. Chennai and Mumbai started badly and now Chennai is doing well. Punjab started badly and now doing well.
Bangalore which was doing so badly, has won 3 matches in a row and the last thrashing of a powerful Mumbai bowling attack was shocking.
I feel, on a given day, any team could win. That is the magic of T20, there are no clear favourites.
However, one thing is sure. Kolkata are definately out of the race. They have no fire and no direction. With Gayle gone, they might not win a single match now.

You are saying no team is consistent. But Kolkatta is absolutely consistent and we are very confident about their performance even before the match starts.

lol why do u have such high confidence with RCB? I doubt it would reach the SF. Instead if RCB, MI will make it to SF

only we are not sure who will reach semis.... the people who conduct this game .. and all team owners know what will be the outcome .. and how much money each will get ...
people should understand cricket is no more a game its a buisiness ..
Nobody will like to take loss in their buisiness ....
So its not cricket ...its nugget...
Dont waste time .. in discussing this ..
If like cricket just watch the game .. and leave it ..
Soon you will see some more cheap masalas also getting added in this IPL version to generate money ..
