During the seventh over of the KKR innings the winning probability based on voting was 70% chance for KKR and 30% chance for CSK. After the tenth over everything changed completely. At some point it reached 50-50 and the percentage of chance started to increase for CSK and soon it reached above 90% because once after the fall of first wicket KKR lost eight wickets scoring just 39 runs in 41 balls. Finally this day has turned towards Chennai Super Kings.

Today CSK was well-prepared for this final even lost of toss never give them any trouble their openers start with good confidence specially Du Plessis man with really class stay on pitch until end this was big win for their target. They were aware about 200 or near this target is well fight, so this achieved after this their bowlers was also good because in start KKR openers was also done good job both reach their fifties but after fall of first wicket they never reach near the target and all batting line up collapse very badly sadly most important batsmen never reach in double figure and give 4th title to CSK very easily.

After IPL, I guess most bettors here will start looking forward for T20I world cup. I guess world cup matches are more easier to bet with, as we could easily predict winners unlike IPL matches as almost all teams are equally balanced and looks stronger (but this year SRH was an exception).

They have this stupid salary cap restriction with the IPL. It is intended to make teams having equal strength, but if it is removed then the player salaries may increase and we may witness more money invested in to cricket. Why should there be a cap of player salaries, when there are no such caps on other professions. There is a minimum wage, but I haven't heard about a maximum wage limit. In international matches, the games are played between teams of unequal strength and therefore they are easier to predict.

So basically only three teams are perfoming in IPL and all others are just spending their time in the tournament. CSK was the worst team in the last season of IPL and in few months time they became the best team for this season. KKR at one point were 91/0 but Thakur changed the game completely. I once had the feeling when KKR's opener were batting that they might win this time.

I think that in every IPL, there is auction for the players. So others teams can bid higher for player of Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians. I think this is how it works ?
Although other franchises have to spend huge money, but their chances to go in and win the final will increase.

I don't think Kolkata will win by batting for 193 runs. Though the Kolkata bowlers performed brilliantly throughout the season, the bowlers' performance in the matches against Chennai was very poor. Chennai scored 220 in the first match against Kolkata. Batting for 172 in the second match, Chennai won and set a huge target of 193 in the final. Kolkata lost the match due to their own mistake. They have not learned from the past matches against Chennai. The same mistake they made in every match.

There is a consistent performance by CSK and negligence by KKR that has led to this result! All hail Dhoni once again! His calm nature, no matter what the outcome, is what we love about him. I'm sure millions of fans all over the world have experienced disappointment and hopelessness when KKR lost to CSK last night. But, Mr. Cool did a great job. IPL's most successful team in history thanks to him.

My pick is SL, Bangla and Ireland will make it to the WCT20I. While there will be one team from Oman and Scotland to play the WC. Interestingly most of Omani players are from India and Pakistan. Seems like locals in Oman have zero interest in cricket. This wont be good for Oman cricket in the long run. since this will not help in building a domestic setup.

My expectation is that Oman is going to get some points easily. But I am thinking about the Bangladesh vs Scotland match. I will bet for the victory of Bangladesh. But I can't call the Scotland team bad. Moreover, I saw in a news that the coach of Scotland is considering the Bangladesh team as an average-level team. And he wants to defeat Bangladesh easily. Is it their confidence or over-confidence?

For this match prediction is very easy and clearly India is free money because currently Pakistan's form is not good, and they are not able to compete with India here in this event their players surely going under pressure, and they will be not able to perform better. Indian players are much better and experienced and have better technique and quality in this format, they can beat them without any serious threat. Here right now odds are better for India because after few days these are going more down so for better profit you can place your bet right now for good odds.

All Indian team already in the UAE and play some good cricket which will give them more benefit and chance of win this match and this event.
