The felicitation ceremony for KKR on 29/5/2012 can be likened to Mamata's one year anniversary celebration plus discovery of a gold mine, no wonder she donated gold chain to all the winners in front of a huge crowd.

It was terriffic how KKR chased down a 190+ total that too in such a high pressure game.. unlikely that any team hoewever mighty would be able to do so with such elan.. It was just KKR's day... and no stopping them... Kallis has always been a favorite and the old warhorse again lived upto the expectations. however, Bisla turned out to be the trump card. Great going KKR. :-)

One time for a change Mamata Di will be basking in glory of victory otherwise.

Finally KKR lifted the DLF IPL 5 trophy.  It was possible by carefree knock of 89 by Malvinder Bisla, who scored at a brisk pace of nearly 200 strike rate.  His 47 ball 89 sealed the match in high scoring match.   Jacques Kallis too contributed his might and took over when Bisla left.  The icing of the cake was sweet 9 of 3 balls by Manoj Tiwari in the end.  The turning point of the match seems to be no ball which was capitalised into 7 runs by Sakib.  Disappointment was that Gauti did not score much but was padded on till the end due to superstition i believe.  Chennai super kings once again posted 190 runs with Raina scoring 73 runs, Hussey and Murali Vijay too chipped in.  Overall SRK was a proud owner of a team for which he had to wait 5 years and be patient, it was not Chak De type film script.

I don't know, not that there is any suggestion that this question is directed towards me. My interest in IPL league stage is theoretical. Once a week, I check the scorecards and update my own table. To my knowledge, two parties have proposed an alternative to Net Run Rate, viz. Duckworth/Lewis in their book and myself. D/L suggest that their model can be used to extrapolate the score for team batting second until the end of the innings thereby creating a " Run Difference " irrespective of which side bats first. I have solved this problem by creating a " Ball Difference " during CWC11. When team batting first wins, I check the delivery when the "winning run" was scored during first innings and determine a win by balls remaining. Thus margin of victory in every limited overs game can be determined by an easy to understand number. Sometimes teams chase a low total on the last delivery of the match. On other occasions a very high score is chased again with no deliveries left. In my method, BD for the match is 0 in both cases. BD will also be 0 in a game such as the one where KXIP won by 2 runs after hitting a last ball six. This year's IPL has reverted to playing home and away matches against all the remaining teams. I created a combined table to show results, fixtures and points/BD with some colour coding that can be used to analyse the margins of victory, home/away form etc. What you see before posting an HTML in preview is not what you get in the thread. I follow the Managing Editor of Yahoo India on twitter and seeked his opinion on BD and it's application in the form of a combined table. I think his reply summarises the general reaction - "Interesting execution, Milind. Not been following the IPL much, so it kind of left me untouched, but that is not a negative comment" I have posted a few times on this thread without getting to the point. I hope this reply provides the context.

OK.. I've a doubt..

 

Pune and Bangalore host the Q1 and Eliminator presently in fixtures list. However if Bangalore finish top 2, the fixtures will be swapped, and Bangalore will play the Q1 on home territory.

 

I wanna know what happens if Pune and Bangalore finish in top 2 in the table. or even if they finish in the elminator slots.. Where'll the match be held? in Pune or to Bangalore?

Let us wait for the final tally, Yesterday's RCB match called off due to rain was a total disappointment, thank god it rained, power cuts and extreme heat was taking its toll in Blore

One at least the last ball victory of CSK against RCB, victory boundary scored by Jadeja which was thrilling to watch

This match was a cliff hanger with CSK pulling off an amazing victory with Kohli turning out to be a black sheep with his bowling. Morkel snatch victory from defeat with his 28 off 7 balls.
