Bangalore tries but loses;Chennai loses despite great batting

Hello everybody,yesterday there were two matches.They were:-
Delhi Daredevils vs Royal Challengers Bangalore
Delhi Daredevils won by 17 runs.
Chennai Super Kings vs Mumbai Indians
Mumbai Indians won by 5 wickets.


Delhi Daredevils vs Royal Challengers Bangalore
This match started with Delhi batting first.With every batsman batting very nicely Delhi was able to make 183-4.KM Jadhav(50*) stole the show when he used his batting skills in the end of Delhi's innings which made it easier for Delhi to score such a big total.Jadhav scored his maiden 50 not out in 29 balls with 5 fours and 2 sixes.The target set for Bangalore was 184 runs in 20 overs which was surely a difficult one.They started with a bang with Kallis(27) and Pandey(39) opening.They both made a partnership of 71 runs in 55 balls when Kallis got out.After that only Virat Kohli(38) was able to score more than 30 runs.This led up to Bangalore scoring only 166-9 giving Delhi the win.
Chennai Super Kings vs Mumbai Indians
The match started with Chennai batting first.It looked like Mumbai Indians had it all with them when they took out Parthiv Patel(8) and Matthew Hayden(20) both at 38 runs.But that was not the case when Raina(83*) and Badrinath(55*) made a thrilling partnership of 142 runs in just 90 balls making 180-2 as the total of Chennai Super Kings.Earlier yesterday in the first match Delhi had scored 184 runs and won that match so it looked like that Chennai is gonna win that easily.But Sachin Tendulkar and Shikhar Dhawan had some other plans when they started their batting with a partnership of 92 runs in just 53 balls.Their partnership ended with Shikhar Dhawan getting out but he made 56 runs with 5 fours and 3 sixes.Sachin Tendulkar was the great one yesterday when he scored 72 runs and got out in the second last over of the match.Mumbai Indians got back in the match in the 16th over when Perera gave them 19 runs.Before this over it was 48 runs to win from 30 balls which turned into 29 runs to win from 24 balls after that over.Mumbai Indians made 184-5 to win this game with 6 balls remaining.

Rajasthan Royals vs Deccan Chargers

Korbo Lorbo Harbo continues

Hello everybody,yesterday there was only one match.It was:-
Kolkata Knight Riders vs Mumbai Indians
Mumbai Indians won by 7 wickets.
Kolkata loses again.They batted very nicely with Chris Gayle(75),Sourav Ganguly(31) and Owais Shah(31).Angelo Mathews also batted but made only 3 runs not out.This led to a difficult yet a total 155-3 which can be chased.Despite their batting efforts they were not able to bowl that good and couldn't take Sachin(71*) out.This was their biggest mistake of the match as Sachin stayed till the last with the help of Dhawan(23),Tiwary(30) and Sathish(21*).As this match ended Kolkata loses their 3rd consecutive match with continuing KORBO LORBO HARBO.Its difficult to except a win from Kolkata but still as it is Shah Rukh Khan's team I can't help me supporting it.

Bangalore Crushes Rajasthan

Yup,they did that.Bangalore crushed Rajasthan yesterday.Bangalore bowled so well that Rajasthan was not even able to score a century.They got all out at 92.Even we saw a hat trick by Praveen Kumar as 85-5,85-6,85-7.In the starting it didn't looked like that Rajasthan will score so low when the first wicket was gone at 27 runs.Yusuf Pathan was playing well at 26 runs but even he got run out and then Bangalore took all the wickets making them all out at only 92 runs.Then Bangalore came to bat and guess what,they won without losing any wickets.Pandey scored 42 runs and Kallis scored 44 runs in only 10.4 overs.It surely will be the best victory for Royal Challengers Bangalore.
Today's Matches:-
Delhi Daredevils vs Chennai Super Kings
Deccan Chargers vs Kings XI Punjab
I think that Delhi Daredevils and Deccan Chargers will win today.What do you think?
