So RCB need 22 off 12 to make the playoffs. Tiwary to face. Time for him to earn his $1.6 million. Veer Pratap to bowl the penultimate over.

Pratap Singh to Tiwary, OUT, caught at midwicket! Tiwary's mis-timed the pull against a short ball straight up in the air. It was there to pull for six but Tiwary could not execute. Sangakkara settled under the ball and took a crucial catch. Are RCB are slipping out of the season?


SS Tiwary c Sangakkara b Pratap Singh 30 (27b 1x4 1x6) SR: 111.11

Jinxed him!

RCB are making a huge mess of the chase. Surely no chance for a spot in the top 4.

CSK progress. I'm sort of happy in a way. Throughout the tournament I was hoping for either them or RCB to win the thing, so its a little sad that CSK had to knock RCB out (and lets face it, RCB are easily one of the most exciting teams in the IPL this year).

And there's another yellow cap for me

DD being robbed!
Poor decision on Warner...

 

[Creag]

Looks like Kallis has hurt himself ... doesn't look to serious. I hope.

I see there are 2 SB points for a win on the qualifiers. Nice

DD v CSK tonight.

DD won the toss and are fielding.

Squads:

Chennai Super Kings team

M Vijay, MEK Hussey, SK Raina, MS Dhoni*†, DJ Bravo, RA Jadeja, JA Morkel, R Ashwin, BW Hilfenhaus, SB Jakati, S Badrinath

Delhi Daredevils team

V Sehwag*, DA Warner, DPMD Jayawardene, NV Ojha†, LRPL Taylor, Y Venugopal Rao, Sunny Gupta, P Negi, VR Aaron, UT Yadav, AD Russell

Vijay asks a question many Delhi fans are asking: "No Morne? I dont get it!. Whatever happened to the play your best XI spiel that Viru spoke about? Unless Morne Morkel is injured this decision is negative one."

Any news or is this one of those :wtf: moments? He has been their best bowler by a country mile.

 

[Creag]

Gareth: "Must be injuries to Morkel and Pathan. Pathan has been solid in the last few matches, and i doubt that Delhi would need Russel to strengthen a batting line up with the likes of Viru, Warner, Mahela and Taylor." Well Irfan was injured in the game against Kolkata. Nasty cut on his right hand. No word about Morkel.

Weird!

 

[Creag]

The SB picks for tonight's game.

 

[Mike Hoxbig]

Lol what a daft move to leave Morne out.
