IPL Match 54 Rajasthan Royals vs Kolkata Knight Riders
RR and KKR face-off in virtual Quarter-Final
Venue: Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai.
Time: 20:00 IST
Both teams find themselves in this spot thanks to their sloppy work. KKR lost to Mumbai in a match they had almost won while on the other hand, poor death bowling has led RR to a position where they have to battle for survival after winning their first 5 games.
Players to watch out for:
RR- Its time for Shane Watson to step up and show the world the kind of firepower he possesses in a crunch game. He is expected to lead the batting attack from the front aggressively.
KKR- Gautam Gambhir has had a pretty good tournament till now. He forms a formidable opening partnership with Uthppa. Excpect him to get at least 40-odd in this match also. MAnish Pandey will however, continue struggling.
PRINCE's Prediction: RR upset KKR in a tight game
IPL Match 53 Chennai Super Kings vs Kings XI Punjab
CSK face an upbeat KXIP in the last game of the season for both the teams.
Venue: PCA Stadium, Mohali.
Time: 16:00 IST
KXIP defeated hot favorites RCB in their previous outing, denting RCB's chances to make the play-offs at Mohali.
CSK travel to Mohali after a shock defeat from the Delhi Daredevils. A win here would solidify CSK's top spot .
Players to watch out for:
KXIP- Axar Patel, the best and most consistent player for them Kings this season. Be it with the bat or ball, he comes in handy some way or the other.
CSK- Suresh Raina has had a dismal campaign by his standards. Expect him to turn around the fortunes just before the play-offs begin. A good batting pitch at Mohali will also suit him.
PRINCE's Prediction: CSK win comfortably

What comes to mind when you look at the scoreline in a T20 match, the team chasing needs 12 runs off the last 2 deliveries?

But Mitchell Marsh, the exceptionally talented Australian All-Rounder achieved the impossible feat in a Champions League T20 group stage match for Australia's Perth Scorchers against South Africa's Dolphins.
Earlier, Dolphins overcame a top-order collapse to put up a fighting total of 164/7 on the board after winning the toss & choosing to bat.
March was awarded Man-of-the-Match for his innings of 40 off 26 balls.
Dolphins themselves hammered 67 runs in the last 6 overs of their innings.
