IPL 25th match - Deccan Chargers v Mumbai Indians

[AkshayS]

venue: Dr DY Patil Sports Academy, Mumbai

Again a match in Mumbai but on some other ground.
Talking about the teams, Mumbai Indians have been the stongest and most consistent team of the tournament till now. They lead the points table. Sachin Tendulkar has been one of the pillars of this side whereas all the young guns performed well.
While Deccan chargers can charge themshelves any time, with the likes of Gilly and Symmo and Vaas, they can turn the match any time.

Weakness:
Mumbai Indians: Perhaps their bowling which performed good but is not consistent at all.
Deccan Chargers: Their Middle order failed on many occasions and if Gilly fails to give a quickfire 30-40 at the top then it becomes really hard for foloowing ones.

Players to watch out for:
Sachin Tendulkar, Shikhar Dhawan, Zaheer Khan
Adam Gilchrist, Andrew Symonds, Rohit Sharma

 

[Aussie Team]

Hopefully Marsh playes....

 

[Dipak]

Gibbs should be opening for Chargers....Gilly can hit big while Gibbs can tweak in for quick runs at the occasional boundary....If the get off to a good start and not be impatient or loose wickets they can get to a mammoth total..The middle order shouldnt be restless.....They have to run it hard atleast get 7-8 runs and over and when they get their eye in hit the ball well.....Chargers are the best team....

 

[Mihir Doshi]

Hopefully Marsh playes....

which world are you living in??

Marsh??

Anyways the toughest match of the tournament i suppose!!

Both power house batting and i bowling although MI have not performed well in last match!! still they have a great attack with Malinga's yorker
Zaheer's early swing and inswing and harbhajan's containing over's.

And I really hope Nohit Sharma justifies his Indian selection

 

[Mihir Doshi]

Rayadu is the man to look out for!! he was not in the 11 i suppose last match. May be MI will also bring in A.Nayar i suppose from what i have heard.

So may be Raydu still might sit out not sure though

wow the match is at DY Patil stadium. Gilly scored a century there in 2008.:hpraise Even though i am a sachin fan. I will support Gilly's team so that it keeps the points table interesting.

 

[Cricketman]

Need MI to win. Expecting another class innings from Sachin!

I too am hoping for a Rohit Sharma failed innings. Maybe we can pray for a last minute change in the squad...

Thats only possible if Nohit Sharma gets injured. I hope Nehra and Nohit stay away from T20 WC squad.

Though I'd support Mumbai, I'd like to see Gilchrist playing a smashing innings today!:happy

 

[crazyrahul]

Chargers won the toss and elect to bowl first,

Did you hear what Gilly said just now, Vaas out...

Roach to make his IPL debut. There was no need for Deccan to leave in-form Chaminda Vaas. Seems Vaas scraed of Sachin lol. :laugh

For Mumbai Keeper Taare makes way for Ambati Rayudu. MI will have new wicket-keeper then.

 

[AkshayS]

Vaas out and Roach in.
I think a good decision to pemper Sachin Tendulkar.

 

[Prithvi]

Mumbai head to a great start. :hpraise
Anyways, DC will clinch it up:cool:

Praying for Nohit to pick up an injury and Sachin to say yes to join our T20I squad.
