DC is the same team that is chasing big totals like they are nothing and got screwed recently by RR. Not a single team has been consistent so far. Even RCB needed a good deal of luck to win some of their matches.

The Indian pitches have become a nightmare for both the players and the punters. Winning this pool would need an insane amount of luck this time around.

Arshdeep bowling really well even when put under pressure, skinny boy but got big heart for sure. Same story for Delhi's bowlers, everyone got smashed. Although they pulled up really good at the end. There are seamers, spinners, off spinners, leg spinners and at last we have Ashwin  . I recently looked at his IPL stats and found out that his economy is too good for T-20 format (less than 7), very close to Rashid Khan.

I disagree. DC are managing well without Nortje and Iyer to be honest. Smith just played one match and ruling out someone so extraordinary is stupidity. Also, Rabada is their best bowler(Not Nortje) and Dhawan is their best batsman(Not Iyer).

The team that actually got negatively impacted the most currently is RR since they are missing Archer and Stokes who were vital cogs of their team.

In today's CSK vs RR match, I bet on RR. But for a while now, my betting luck was going very badly. I have lost a lot of money in the last 1 week. Yesterday I won the bet in the match of DC vs PBKS. CSK players scored 112 runs in 12 overs losing 3 wickets. It looks like CSK will score 175-165. I think RR can win the match if the target is below 180.

I would agree with you on Rajasthan Royals, but still from the performance of Delhi Capitals, it looks as if they are badly missing Iyer and Nortje. Smith is not able to perform in the place of Iyer, while Chris Woakes who came in the place of Nortje has been expensive. Another aspect is that Rishabh Pant doesn't have much experience captaining the side, and it was evident a few times during pressure situations. That said, from what I heard Nortje will be available from next match onwards.

LOL.. Rapter is far ahead of the rest with 15 points. I think it will be extremely difficult for anyone to catch up with him. Today's match is going to be tricky. It is between two of the tournament favorites (Delhi Capitals vs Mumbai Indians), and both of them are not in very good shape right now. There are rumors that Axar will be included in the DC playing XI. If that is the case then Axar/Ashwin combination can pose serious issues to the MI batsmen. Also, it will be interesting to see whether DC is going to drop Steve Smith or not.

My 2nd win! As usual I was not expecting to have any point but very pleased to see Deli Capital finished it well. I wish I had a decent first round. Still I am occupying the bottom place. Can anyone help me to get 2 points from a match? I have not got any yet.

It looked as if I match was fixed by some superbru user today who chose comfortable win for Delhi just like me 1 run to win in 5 balls and the bowler bowls a no ball and tadaa DC win with 5 balls remaining and I get an extra point which I thought was almost gone.
Yes he is great in T20 too but hasn't been key wickets taker. Moreover he doesn't has a lot of variation in his bowling so he tries to do variation with his action which is useful sometimes. Today Delhi Capitals played with Amit Mishra and he has been excellent today still has a lot of mystery in his bowling. I don't know why were all these spin bowlers removed from the Indian cricket team.

One factor may be the unavailability of many players due to quarantine requirements. Important players such as Anrich Nortje are yet to play a single match. The second one may be that the bio-secure bubbles may be putting an emotional toll on some of the players and they may not be able to perform up to their level. In particular, I am disappointed with the performance of Mumbai Indians so far. They have the best players, and yet they have lost 2 out of their 4 games so far.

Don't focus too much on the points. Instead, keep trying harder to pick the right teams(Don't just choose the favorites everytime). I have seen participants go from the bottom to the top in this manner in past pools.

That's me(kpk333). I expected Delhi to win this one comfortably and they didn't disappoint me. Looks like luck didn't side with Mumbai this time around.

You are over-estimating Mumbai Indians this season. They clearly got lucky on several occasions in recent matches which is why I expected Delhi to comfortably defeat them.
