Punjab end on 179/4,a late surge by Bailey and miller.Kings have the bowling might in them to defend this,but RR have it in them to cross the finish line.An engrossing 2nd innings on the cards.This is some serious quality cricket.Hope RR win today..

155 - 8

25 from 4 balls needed 

Well played Punjab. Looks like favorites for the season but you'll never know. All of CSK, KKR Rajasthan, and Punjab can beat each other on their day, so semis are gonna be pretty tough and unpredictable.

I completely second that.Everyone would be seeking revenge against one team or the other.Punjab look favorites to the title for now but my money would be on CSK. They have been there in the playoffs,for not 1-2 seasons but in all the seasons and they know how to handle the situation better.

Let's see. KKR are also looking pretty damn good post their initial jitter. On a roll right now. Lots of matchwinners in their side.

Bailey's done a great job with this (already fine) side, gotta give him that.

The ever mis-firing yusuf has also fired,with a bang..72(22) and take a bow,the fastest 50 in the IPL history.A calculated assault has pushed CSK to he third spot.They are looking like the team to beat..all of a sudden.Even Kings X1 punjab should be wary of them.They are peaking at the right time.

Rajasthan Royals is my favorite team in IPL. But now they need to be focused otherwise the door to semifinals never open.
