I would put it this way...

SRH is playing like a team, every player doing their bits for the team on different occasion, check their MOM data.

David Warner scored 546 runs so far in 2020 edition (only KL is ahead of him 670 runs), he's yet to get MOM award
Jason Holder gave good performance with the bat on the lower order and bowled exceptionally well so far, no MOM award yet.

So guys, whom are you favoring in today's match? I would go with Sunrisers Hyderabad, as they are having a good momentum. During the initial phases of the tournament, I was thinking that Delhi Capitals may end up as champions. But they performed in an appalling manner during the late stages. I expect an one-sided match today, in which SRH will thrash the Delhi Capitals.

Right now Mumbai Indians looks like they are miles ahead of the other teams. They have only one vulnerability, and that is in their spin bowling (I think they need to get a quality spinner for the next season). Their batsmen have performed better than expected and the bowlers (in particular Bumrah, but also Boult and Pattinson as well) have also performed splendidly. To be frank, it is very difficult to imagine SRH defeating MI.

I had risked my 3rd place in last match and so does today. Have picked DC to have a comfortable win as they had really bad performance in the last few matches and I believe they will get back to their old form. Tough call but had to pick.
Surprisingly, Stoinis has started today and having good performance.

DC couldn't score as expected from the beginning. It was expected to have 200+ scores the way they were playing but the last two overs were shit to be honest. Well, the score is good enough to defend and road DC toward the final. I won a lot of bets but lost 3 at once in the last over.
DC to score 195+
DC to have 5+ sixes
DC to have 17+ fours

The reason for picking RCB was exactly the reason i knew will happen and it was evident against DC, put a good total on the board and they will struggle as they failed to chase games that were fairly easy to chase and i understand they have many injury issues but they had a bad day in the field and lost the match.

The moment Marcus Stoinis came out to open the innings i knew i made the wrong pick and on top of that SRH had a bad day in the field giving away runs that could have stopped considering the level of cricket they were playing and i have seen them giving away free 20 runs in the form of spinners bowling no balls and ball going under the fielder and you cannot win match in a situation like that.

***Update*** Please read!

I will probably travel tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. So for some reason if I can not process the winnings or I get late to process the winnings then please do not get panicked. As soon as I will have enough time to process the payments, I will update here.

And all winners will need to give me their addresses. You can PM me if you want or just post it here.

So guys whom do you think would win IPL this year? Just one last day of discussions before we finally get to know the winner this year. Mumbai vs Delhi has always been a pretty interesting rivalry. Both the teams are in their best forms so it's just going to be about the team the plays the best tomorrow. Another major fight tomorrow would be of Purple Cap.

Kagiso Ranada has 29 wickets
Jasprit Bumrah has 27 wickets

So let's see who takes the purple cap too. While the orange cap could most certainly go to KL Rahul unless Shikhar Dhawan can score around 68 runs.

This season has been the season of underdogs. Most matches were won by the underdogs which is why I am pretty confident that DC who is the clear underdog will win the cup this year.

Bumrah retained his form at the correct time luckily for MI though Ranada might end up winning the purple cap while Rahul could win the orange cap. These are my predictions at this point.

I think the aim of purple cap was this only it's about the bowler who can maintain consistency of taking wickets throughout the IPL. Nevertheless losing IPL and winning Purple Cap won't give you that much happiness but trust me there is nothing like there is "no point" in it. At the end every player plays towards development of his personal career too. They are channelizing their personal efforts towards team's goal and requirements but This is not international cricket where players are playing patriotically, it's commercial cricket and you don't mind any money coming towards you be it from any achievement.
Rabada does carry advantage of two wickets so for example if he takes couple of wickets in first innings then Bumrah can't match him that easily. While for Dhawan it's much easier. He has that target for himself and has to score just 60 runs. But obviously he would have to play according to situation and total otherwise 60 runs isn't that big a score for him.
