Match No. 55th Preview. Bangalore Royal Challengers v Mumbai Indians
Mumbai Indians has developed a habit of loosing in last ball. For last 3 consecutive games they lost the match in last ball. Today it was no different. Again they lost the match against Rajasthan Royals in last Ball.
As Mumbai Indians lost today, Delhi Daredevils Joined Rajasthan Royals and Kings XI Punjab in Semi Finals. They had only one chance if Chennai Super Kings lose there match against Deccan Chargers, but Suresh Raina’s unbeaten fifty and a good performance with the ball, Chennai Super Kings won their last league game against Deccan Chargers. This ensures that the final four spots are held by Rajasthan Royals, King’s XI Punjab, Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Daredevils.
So, now Mumbai Indians play for nothing. they kept winning and everybody thought they can make it to semis as compare to others they had 3 matches. But all invein and they are rooted out.
On the other hand Bangalore Royal Challengers look more dangerous team now, after defeating Super Kings and Deccan Chargers in there last matches they are now sitting on 8 points and they will like to make it to the double digit in point table and save there pride and they will be more confident for the next season.
Vijay Mallya-owned IPL franchise — Royal Challengers — is likely to receive a jolt as its ‘icon’ player and skipper Rahul Dravid is believed to have expressed interest in parting ways with Mr Mallya for the league’s second season.
Dravid, according to insiders in the franchise as well as BCCI, is unhappy with the way the team management has dealt with the players. But which team want him next year?
