IPL 2011 grows exciting with every match

IPL 2011 Live Cricket Online

As IPL approaches its conclusion, the excitement grows ball by ball. The reason being simple. This year we are fortunate enough to see tussles in matches at the end as teams are still battling out to reach the play off stage. RCB has already made into the play offs. CSK, MI and KKR are currently placed on 2nd, 3rd and 4th position.

CSK's win against KTK today can take them at the apex and hence a seat in play offs. KTK's win today (and a big win today) can keep their faint hopes alive of making it into the next round. Similar is the case of KXIP. They defeated RCB yesterday comprehensively keeping their hopes alive. But both KTK and KXIP are depending on things like the other teams should lose their remaining matches (especially KKR).

If we look at the overall scenario, still RCB, CSK, MI and KKR look favourites to make it into the next stage. But as we all know the uncertainty of this game, we can even see a striving team like KTK or KXIP toppling one of four in points tally to reach play offs.

Kochi Vs Punjab Turns Out To Be High Scoring

Kochi Vs Punjab Live

Kochi Tuskers manages a big total on the board as they scored 178 at the loss of 7 wickets. Thanks to the openeres McCullum and Jayawardene, the innings got an ideal start. An opening partnership of 93 runs in T20 cricket is undoubtedly good. McCullum fell for 32 whereas Jayawardene scored 76.

Only other big contribution came from Owais Shah who scored 23. As a reply to this big total, Punjab has maintained the required run rate. Gilchrist fell early for 9. Valthaty was bowled by Singh for 17. But the man in form Marsh has anchored the innings well with Karthik.

Punjab is currently on the second last position of the points tally where as Kochi is on 6th position. With very few matches to go, teams are striving hard to accumulate as many points as possible to make into the final four.
