Underdogs won there 4 match in a row
its very encouraging for any team, which labeled as weakest team in the tournament won there 4 match in a row. its all due to captaincy of Shane warne. he is one of the inspirtiational captain.
he is also having good knowledge of cricket. now its looking chennai supers and Rajasthan royals likely to be in semifinals.
it was another bad day for Kolkata knight riders.. again they lost there match after winning
first two match. now it will become difficult for them to come back.

Much awaited match of IPL
Chennai Supers and Delhi Dare devils: i am waiting for this match. this match is going to be very competitive match of the IPL. Both the team are looking very balanced. Delhi have one of the best bowlers of the world Mcgrath and Mohammad Asif. it will be very interesting see how Chennai will plan there strategies against them. Chennai has lost there main Batsman Matthew Hayden and Michael Hussey. they are the leading run scorers in IPL . it will not be easy for Chennai without them.
F yesterday match was great. Shewag shown again why he is lethal on any day. He played superb inning, scored 71 run in 41 balls seven four and four sixes. Delhi ended winning streak of Chennai supers. It was almost one sided match Delhi scored 120 in 12 overs. Both Shewag and Gambhir played superb shot and made mockery of Chennai bowlers. Shewag become man of the match.
Shane warne and Saurav episode:
Finally IPL committee fined both the player 10% of match fees violating "Spirit of the Game". IPL also banned Umpire Pratapkumar one match for referring the catch to the third umpire.
One more down for Royal Challengers:
Royal challengers lost there 6 match, from here it seems that it will not easy for Challengers to come back in the IPL. They are stumble down in points tally, bottom in the table. Banglore royal challengers are the team of Test players. Now there are chances for Kolkatta knight to come back in IPL. knight riders have won three matches. Royal challengers could have won yesterday match but due to there own mistakes they lost it, early in the inning they where trying to saves wickets, in the end task became huge to chase. It was also good bowling by Kolkatta, specially from Ishant Sharma last over that was very good from him. Now Kolkatta are at 6 position in point table.
16/05/2008 Mumbai v/s Kolakata: Match between Mumbai and Kolkata is much awaited for many people, it is in Wankhede Mumbai. Do and die for both the teams, which ever teams lose this match will be out of the tournament almost. There will be competition between Sachin Tendulkar and Shoaib Akhtar. They will be face to face after long time. After the good performance by Shoiab against Delhi he will be at high sprit and this will be Sachin second match of the tournament so he would be in pressure in front of his home crowd because he was fail in last match. Mumbai has very good line as compare to Kolkata they have Sachin and Sanath to open the inning, both are watch winner on there own. On the other hand Kolkata has devastating bowling line up with Ishant Sharma and Shoaib Akhtar. Whom so ever will win the match it is going to be good fighting match
