Super Sunday in IPL: May 4, 2008

Yesterday turned out to be super sunday for IPL. The two matches played were not very close but they were shocking.

Mumbai Indians were at the bottom of the table and Delhi Daredevils were at the top before the match started but Mumbai still managed to beat Delhi and the margin(29 runs) made it look like a one-sided match in T20 context.

Rajasthan Royals also thrashed Chennai Superkings and Sohail Tanveer bagged best ever bowling performance in a T20 match and again result makes it look like a one-sided match though CSK and RR are pretty close in points table and a while back, CSK looked to be the strongest contender for the IPL title this year.

The results once again show that it is very difficult to make predictions in a T20 match and any team can win/lose on a given day and even margin of win/loss can be a shocker. The competition for inaugural IPL title is open and no team can be deemed as favorite at the mid-way stage. The tournament looks well set for a close finish as we approach the 2nd half of the league matches.
