Its clear that a few matched in IPL were fixed. Teams losing from winning positions, teams winning from losing positions, good bowlers bowling badly, non-regular bowlers taking hatricks repeatedly, teams losing by one run, two runs etc etc. In cricket such things happen but not as frequently as they have happened in this IPL. Match after match you cannot have a close contest. Something is definitely fishy. So guys watch d IPL for fun but dont get sentimental like many people from mumbai got during mumbai-rajasthan match which I suspect was fixed.

see u dont have any evidence to suggest that. However we can say we suspect a sort of fixing. one standout incidence is the match between KKR & DC where umpire seemed determined to make DC win!
Anyway there are possibilities that some bonus $$ might be there if teams win / lose in the last ball, or last over etc.. (infact this is match fixing too).

Whatever the situation DD will not cross semi. They will lost by RR/DC/CSK.

These all matches are fixed and everything is pre decided. It is just an eyewash and nothing
I feel if RCB could beat CSK then they can beat DD as well. See, CSK and DD depend too heavily on Hayden and Devilliers, respectively. Get these 2 out and its Match ON.

Even if Punjab and Bangalore lose their games, DC will be in. If they had scored one more run the other day again Punjab, they would have been in the semis anyway. But bad luck they couldnt get through.

Its a possibility. KXIP plays CSK and RR plays DD. Both are tough matches. Also, DC's run rate is much better than RR and KXIP, who are both at negative run rates.
Hope this happens. I love Gilly,Rohit and Symmo. What a terrific trio!!

RR played DD yesterday. Their remaining game is against KKR, which should be easy for them. But in 20 20 you can never predict.

most likely KXIP and RR shall lose. KXIP has not beaten CSK in last 5 enounters and KKR shall be ready to avenge their super loss over which started the slide, .
they shd replace Der Merwe with jessi ryder & Akhil with Appanna..Bangalore top order is due for big score, hope they will start firing atleast in the last week now.. And delhi may not go with full strngth team since they are already through..

Raingods gave one point to KKR. Another one point to MI. Both losers.
if u see the development which is taking place and has taken in delhi one can easily say that theres no match to living lifestyle in delhi mumbai has been totally outdone so ipl is all abt best city win and delhi is the best.
Re: delhi perhaps the only real city in india.

I have lived in Delhi. It is not as good as Bangalore. BLR Rocks!! It is not a regional comment. I feel BLR is better than Delhi (too much of a North flavour), Chennai (Too much of a South flavour), Mumbai (Too much of a hectic finacial flavour). I wont talk about Kolkata, which I have stayed in, but nothing positive from what I heard.
