1st semi-final - Chennai Super Kings v RCB @ Durban

[surendar]

With so much hard work done, like I said in qualifier - " I don't see why CSK shouldn't go for semis ". The same follows in semis too. I don't see why CSK shouldn't go to the finals. The tactics, batting, fielding and bowling(Ashwin&Murali in top wicket takers list) of Chennai is definitely of high standards.

No doubt that RCB is equally good, but I rate Dhoni's tactics smarter/slightly greater compared to legendary Kumble's. Well, may the best win!

There is difference of Bangalore with and without Kallis. Since he is ruled out of the series, I would say that Chennai would go to the final.

RCB Defeated CSK in Semi Final of IPL II. So, lets hope the same repeats:upray.

We have players with great talents without doubts. Only thing which we need is - All to click at the right time. It shouldn't be Murali's day or Dhoni's day or Raina's or Badri's. It should be Chennai's day! If it happens, I am sure that CSK will march to finals without any problems.

Chennai should win this being favorites but I would not mind Bangalore winning too..

Now that Mumbai are out supporting both

Although Kallis has been ruled out of the tournament, Bangalore still have some really good players in their side. Taylor, White, Uthappa can be very dangerous on the day they get going and can play match winning knocks. I won't be surprised if any of these 3, plays a match winning knock today. On other hand Chennai Super Kings have a really strong side as well. Chennai super kings bowlers in particular specially Bollinger and Murali have been fantastic so far for Chennai with the ball in ACLt20. It should be interesting to see which team qualifies for the finals.

Idly Sambar v Bisibele bath.
Though I like Idly Sambar greater than Bisibele bath, I'd go with Bisibele bath as its like strong food, when compared to Idly Sambar:laugh.

I only support one IPL side and hate these Chennai Super Kings. So go RCB.

Agreed!

 

[Bhargav]

superkings will win this i think i think as they have a strong bowling attack.
not sure about the final.

CSK CSK go go CSK

Dhoni to score a 50 ball 50 with Morkel scoring 25 ball 70

 

[SaiSrini]

Come on CSK!! They are batting first. Hope they put up a big total. Its important how they handle Steyn and Kumar here in Durban.

 

[KBC]

I'm really locked from choice as to whom to support. I've been waiting for the Indian teams to come to the showdown but an India-India clash isn't so cool, you know. :P 'specially when you boast of two sides.

 

[SaiSrini]

Good sensible start for CSK. With these conditions, 6/0 off 2 overs is a wise start. Hussey needs to stay in there longer and he will cause lot of damage

Oh BS!!!! Rain it is!! Damn, comes in a very interesting game. Shastri already talking about the possibility of a no-result (if its a no-result, Chennai goes to the final because they topped their group with 6 points while Bangalore finished second in their group).
