CSK vs DC Live scroe update

The second semi final between Chennai Super Kings and Deccan Charges will begin at 8 P.M. Chennai Super Kings won the toss and elected to bat first. But after the initial collapse, Chennai Super Kings scored only 142/7 in 20 overs. M.S.Dhoni and S.Badrinath scored 30 and 37 respectively. In the final overs S.Anirudha scored 24 runs in just 15 balls.

Now the Deccan Charges are batting. Their batting also very poor today. After 13.3 overs they have scored 62 for the loss of 5 wickets. Bollinger and Jakati took 2 wickets each. Morkel took one wicket. I think Chennai Super Kings will win the match and the finals will be between Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians.

IPL 2 : Points table before semi-finals.Delhi Daredevils top the table

The IPL2 has gone up very well and we have seen some very close matches even this year.The josh is still there for cricket.Only team in this IPL has cemented its dominance so far in this IPL and it is Delhi Daredevils.Sehwag and Gambir have not performed much and still Delhi have topped the table.Still one match to go for each team before semi-finals.Two teams have confirmed their Semis berth.One being the best team so far none other than the Delhi Daredevils and the second team being the Chennai Superb Kings.The main reason for CSK to make it to the semis is mainly because of Mathew Hayden and the cool captaincy of M.S.Dhoni.



The rest of the teams who are in contention for semi-finals are Deccan Charges , Royal Challengers Bangalore and Kings XI Punjab.These three teams are in contention while Rajasthan Royals have slipped slightly.The two teams who are out of the tournament are Mumbai Indians and Kolkata Knight Riders.I guess the finals will be between Delhi Daredevils and Chennai Superb Kings.They are the two best teams in this IPL so far.We have to wait and see who will be the winner.Since predicting a winner is a very tough job.

Flintoff out of IPL due to injury

Andrew Flintoff suffered from a torn meniscus in his right knee.Surgery revealed that Flintoff has to miss the IPL and also the West Indies tour.This is a big loss for Chennai Superb Kings since they banked mainly on the all rounder.

This is a bog blow for CSK and already they have won only one match out of the 3 matches that they have played.This means that Mr.Cool (Dhoni ) has to find out some solution to marshal his men to win the remaining matches and at least reach the semi-finals

IPL 2: Match 5: CSK vs RCB

The fourth match of the IPL was between Chennai Superb Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore.Royals where a confident side beating the last time champions Rajasthan Royals comfortably. M.S.Dhoni won the toss and elected to bat.the plan was to score sum huge total and put the pressure on the opposition.That is what they exactly did they scored 179/5 in the allotted 20 overs.Thanks to some lusty blows by Mathew Hayden and the little Parthiv Patel at the start of the innings.

Chasing 180 at 9 runs per overs is always a difficult task and some early wickets reduced RCB to 49/4.then it was just a catch up game.While playing a T20 game never you can succed if you go for the catch up game.Dravid played well for his 20 and Kallis for his 24.Apart from them the rest of the team looked totally out of shape.RCB where all out for 87.Some great bowling by Muralitharan was the main reason for that.

IPL : BestCaptains

IPL (Indian Premier League ) is goin to underway .The first match is between CSK and Rajasthan Royals.There are totally eight teams.It is tough to choose which team is goin to win.But the best captains i would suggest for this IPL are

M.S.Dhoni (Mr.Cool and last time runner up team captain)
Sourav Ganguly (Bengal Tiger gives his best only during times of crisis.)
Shane Warne ( Proactive and agressive captain)

So I personally feel these are the teams to watch out for.This time around the intensity of the game is very high.We will see some very good matches.Countdown has began .Only 4 days to go for the DLF IPL to kick off.

Hussey to pull out of IPL

Hussey is following the foot steps of his captain and he is the latest cricketer who has pulled out from the IPL.The CSK spokesperson has termed that missing Hussey will be a huge loss for the team.Even though Hussey will be available for only 4 to 5 matches his presence will make a huge difference in the team.He is such an important player ans that was very much evident in the last time IPL.

If the CSK are able to reach semi-finals Hussey would be available to play.Right now he has quoted that he is "Home sick" and wants to spend some time with his family.Will the CSK s reach semi's are the absence of Hussey will hurt them very badly.We have to wait and watch !!!

Flintoff says will not allow IPL to compromise Ashes dream

England all-rounder Andrew Flintoff one of the highest bid players for this IPL will play for Chennai Superb Kings said that he is looking for to IPL as a learning phase which will help him to phase the worlds best players and help him to increase his knowledge about the strength sand weakness of some the world's best batsman.

He stated to the media that playing IPL will only enrich his dreams of recapturing the Ashes from the Australians.The current form of Flintoff has considerably improved and he was the main element of England winning the series against the West Indies 3-2.

Chennai Superb Kings will be hoping that Flintoff continues his good form and will prove worth it the money for which u was got.On paper CSK looks to be a very balanced side.It all depends upon how they perform.

CSK 's Oram is a doubtful starter for IPL

New Zealand all rounder Jacob Oram aggravated an Achilles tendon strain while playing the county match.This injury made himself unavailable for the ongoing Test series against India in which India lead the series 1-0 with 1 match to go.Black caps pinned there hopes that Oram would be back for the third and the final test.But Oram has announced that he wont be available for the third test also.

Buzz is that he is resting himself to play the cash prize mega event IPL.But he denied these speculations and told that if he is not completely recovered he wont take risk and play in IPL.

After hearing this the Chennai Super Kings(CSK) are worried since he is a key player for the team.CSK captain Dhoni and CSK coach and player Stephen Fleming are trying to convince him ...We have to wait and see what actually happens.Will the absence of Oram be a great loss for CSK.
