The first half of the IPL was quite exciting for two reasons. The way Mumbai kept winning - Six out of seven matches they have played so far and the fight for the second, third and the fourth spot. This challenge is just going to get tougher in the second half.
Mumbai have virtually sealed their place in the semis. Delhi, five wins from eight matches, need just three more to book their spot in the last four. Now there are three teams with four win - Bangalore, Rajasthan and Kolkata, though, the last two have played a game more than Bangalore.
Life seems to be very difficult for Deccan Chargers and more so for Chennai Super Kings. With just three wins from eight games, Dhoni’s brigade has a real challenge in its hands.
They have to win at least five of their last six matches with a good run rate while Deccan can catch up with the rest of the top teams if they start winning from here on. But it seems highly improbable, especially with the bowling options they have. None of their bowlers seem to be effective. Though, Chaminda Vass bowled really well in the first few matches. The second half would be even more exciting. Let’s hope.
