BORUSSIA DORTMUND VS BAYERN MUNICH

LAST DAY OF UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE..........................

This is the day for which whole of the football world has been waiting its the world most prestigious club soccer tournament finale.Bayern have lost 2 out of their last 3 finals including last year to Chelsea at home while absence of Mario Gotze make Dortmund play as underdogs as they look to add to their 1997 triumph.Bayern have only lost 3 games this season & are more likely to end this season as it is while for Dortmund this is their last hope as not to end this season trophyless after their rivals clinched Bundesliga.Their last match results in champions league.....

 BAYERN MUNICH                         7-0                  BARCELONA
BORUSSIA DORTMUND              4-3                  REAL MADRID   

My predictions is with Dortmund as they look more promising to me over Bayern.
So get ready for a Champions league kum German clash....................

RAJASTHAN ROYALS VS SUNRISERS HYDERABAD

We have reached the eliminators of the playoffs in which RR takes on SH at Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium,Delhi.At this stage both teams will play to its core to remain in the competition.RR had been through ups & downs in this season of the IPL.Latest they have been through spot fixing scandal in which 3 of their players have been caught plus they have lost last 2 of their games.RR has not lost a game at home this entire season & has just won 2 of their 8 away games.SH are also performing quite similar to RR as they had just lost 1 of their home game & won only 3 of their away games this season.Lets have a look at their stats this season................................

Team   Played   Won   Lost   Player To Watch   Last 5 Matches
 RR        16         10       6        Shane Watson      W W W L L
 SH        16         10       6        Dale Steyn            L W L W W
My predictions certainly goes with RR as they have a proper balance between their batting & bowling while SH have a much better bowling attack.Last time these 2 teams met SH emerged as winners.SH are coming into this game with a boost win against KKR in a high presure game while RR are coming from 2 consecutive defeats but this time its a neutral venue so lets see who gets it right today.This is going to be worth to watch a match like this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CHENNAI SUPER KINGS VS MUMBAI INDIANS

Here we come to the play-off round of the IPL,its the clash of the big guns:MI taking on CSK in the 1st qualifier.Both these teams know if they lose it even then they have a cushion of having a second match to make it to the finals.In their last meeting MI demolished CSK at a very low total(79) probably lowest total of IPL season 2013 but that was at Wankhede.Both these teams are coming into this match suffering a defeat:MI losing to KXIP while CSK losing to RCB.CSK have crumbled a little at the end of group stage after that dream run of 7 consecutive wins while MI has balanced them at the end of the group stage winning 4 of their last 5 encounters.Lets have an eye to their stats.............................

Team   Played   Won   Lost   Player To Watch   Last 5 Matches
 CSK       16         11       5       Mike Hussey            L W L W L
 MI         16          11       5       Lasith Malinga      W W W W L
Though its very hard to predict but still i predict CSK over MI since they are more experienced to these situations as they have always finished in the last four every season while MI is a very hard competitor probably the biggest challenge for CSK.I bet this is going to be a belter to watch!!!!!!!!!

SUNRISERS HYDERABAD VS KOLKATA KNIGHT RIDERS

SH are now the "masters of their own fate" after RCB beat CSK on saturday.In order to qualify for the play-offs SH need just a win today even a draw will do it for them but that's not likely to happen.SH are in a DO or DIE situation but they are favourites to win this match & knock RCB out of the competition while Defending Champions would like to end the season on a high by winning their final match of the season.Lets have an eye to their stats......!!!!!!!!!

Team   Played   Won   Lost   Player To Watch      Last 5 Matches

KKR       15          6         9      Gautum Gambhir      W L W W L
My prediction is with SH as they have home advantage plus its an EVER or NEVER thing for them while KKR are just playing for formality.This is the encounter which will decide the fate of the play-offs.Now RCB can only hope from KKR,even Kohli said that he will give a call to Gambhir to request him to win the match.
Lets wait to see who will make it to the play-off  RCB or SH????

DELHI DAREDEVILS VS PUNE WARRIORS INDIA

Today we have 2 exciting matches in IPL kicking off with PWI taking on DD at Subrata Roy Sahara stadium,Pune.These 2 teams have dissappointed all season but now their is a chance for them to avoid finishing at bottom place & give their fans something to cheer by winning their final match of season.Lets have a look to their stats.................

 DD        15         3         12      David Warner        L L L L L
PWI       15         3         12      Angelo Mathews    L L L L W
My prediction is with PWI as they have home support plus they have look good at home as compared to DD who has performed worst away this season.Lets see who finish at bottom this season!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ROYAL CHALLENGERS BANGALORE VS CHENNAI SUPER KINGS

RCB after losing their last 2 consecutive matches are in danger of not qualifying to the play-offs & situation was made even more worse by SH win over RR,Now for RCB to qualify they must win & SH must lose their final encounter.CSK are in top two & winning todays match will not make any difference to their play-off condition but rather they will jump upto the top of the table,this will ceratinly boost them going into the play-offs.Lets have an eye to their stats..................

Team   Played   Won   Lost   Player To Watch    Last 5 Matches
RCB       15         8          7      Virat Kohli             W L W L L
CSK       15         11        4      M S Dhoni              W L W L W
My prediction for todays epic encounter goes to RCB as it is a DO or DIE situation for them,if they lose today they lose their hopes for reaching the play-offs.CSK on the other hand are definitely going to alter their line- up,so we can see some new faces today in CSK squad & foremost RCB has the home ground advantage where they have lost only 1 game the whole season.Last times these 2 teams met CSK won the match off the last ball & a legend named SIR RAVINDRA JADEGA was born so lets see can we get 1 more legend this time????............................ :P lolz!!!!!!!!

KINGS XI PUNJAB VS MUMBAI INDIANS

A heartbreak for KXIP as SH beat RR & jump upto the 4th spot in the points table crushing KXIP hopes of reaching the playoffs.This match has nothing to do with the points table as MI have already cemented their place in the top two while KXIP are out of the reckoning for the playoffs spot but still both the teams would like to finish on a high by winning their last game of the group stage.Lets have a look at the stats of both the teams....................

 Team   Played   Won   Lost   Player To Watch   Last 5 Matches
KXIP     15          7       8        Adam Gilchrist      W L L W W
 MI         15         11      4       Lasith Malinga      W W W W W
My prediction is with KXIP.This is Gilchrist last game of the IPL & KXIP would love to end his IPL carrer with a win as a tribute while some big names are missing from the MI line up.So get ready for a nailbiter & see if KXIP can do any good in their last game.................. 

SUNRISERS HYDERABAD VS RAJASTHAN ROYALS

Tonight its the clash of Megateams its SH taking on RR at Rajiv Gandhi International Stdium,Hyderabad.This match is of great significance to both the teams as RR will look to finish in the top two while SH will look to qualify for the play-offs.RR record away from home is not that satisfying,they have won just 2 out of 7 away games this season.Both teams has their strength & whats interesting here is that "The Strength of 1 team is the Weakness of other".Lets have a look at their stats.............

Team   Played   Won   Lost   Player To Watch   Last 5 Matches
 RR        15          10       5       Stuart Binny         W W W W L
 SH        14          8         6        Dale Steyn            W W L W L
My prediction stands with RR as they are a better team according to conditions in Hyderabad while home ground Factor can haunt them & their away record also does not look too good but Can they be the better side on the day????

KINGS XI PUNJAB VS DELHI DAREDEVILS

KXIP still in the chase for a spot in the top four after that stunning win over RCB feeding them their first home defeat of the season.KXIP need to win both of their remaining matches,want SH & RCB to lose all their remaining matches in order to qualify to the play offs.In 11 head to head games KXIP lead DD by 6-5 wins,but looking at this match DD will be considered as an underdog  due to their dissappointing performance this season.Lets have an eye to their stats...................

Team    Played    Won    Lost    Player To Watch    Last 5 Matches

KXIP      14           6         8         David Miller           L W L L W
 DD        14           3         11       David Warner         W L L L L

My prediction goes to KXIP as they have a DO or DIE situation while DD has nothin to lose but they can certainly haunt KXIP hopes to reach the play offs.Lets see if KXIP can give their luck some chance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RAJASTHAN ROYALS VS MUMBAI INDIANS

So the 2nd match is underway:MI taking on RR at Wankhede Stadium,Mumbai.MI are unbeaten at home this season & they would love to continue this record while RR also has the same thing but today they are playing away to MI.RR have lost 4 of their 6 away games this season but whosoever wins today is certainly going to the playoffs.A lot depends on toss as well,MI loves to put the score on the board whereas RR are more comfortable chasing.Lets have a look at their stats......................

 Team   Played   Won   Lost   Player To Watch   Last 5 Matches
MI          14          10      4        Rohit Sharma         W W W W L
RR         14          10      4        Shane Watson         W W W W L

Both the teams have equal points but MI has a better run rate than RR.I think today its RR who is going to win the battle of the playoffs but still MI is not easy to beat at home.Lets see who gets it right at Wankhede!!!!!!!!!!!!

KOLKATA KNIGHT RIDERS VS PUNE WARRIORS

Today in the IPL we have 2 matches taking off with KKR taking on PWI at JSCA International Stadium,Ranchi.This match is of no significance to PWI while KKR will look to win it as defending champions still have an outside chance to reach the top four.Pitch will play a major role in deciding outcome of todays match as it did in RCB vs KKR where the pitch showed its slowness & two-paced nature.PWI has lost 9 in a row & has never won a game against KKR.Lets  take a eye to their stats...............................

Team   Played   Won   Lost   Player To Watch   Last 5 Matches
KKR      14          6         8       Sunil Narine           W W L W L
PWI       14          2         12     Robin Uthappa       L L L L L
I favour KKR over PWI as they look more determined towards toadys match plus they have already played 1 match at this ground while PWI will just look to discontinue their losing streak.DO or DIE situation for KKR, Can they handle the presure????????????

CHENNAI SUPER KINGS VS DELHI DAREDEVILS

Tonight its CSK taking on DD at MA Chidambram Stadium,Chennai.CSK undoubtedly are doing a stupendous job till now & have certainly qualified for the play-off.DD on the other hand have dissapointed & have no chance of finishing in the top four.CSK will look to win both of their remaining matches & will push to stay in top two to avoid playing an extra match whereas for DD its nothing at stake.Lets have a look at their stats..................
Teams   Played   Won   Lost   Player To Watch   Last 5 Matches
CSK        14         10       4         M S Dhoni             L W L W W
DD         13           3        10      David Warner        L L L W W

My prediction certainly goes to CSK as they are playing at home whereas DD has dissappointed everywhere they played.So lets see if DD can make an impact today........................

ROYAL CHALLENGERS BANGALORE VS KINGS XI PUNJAB

RCB gets back on home turf where they have been playing like champions,can they make it count toady??.In order to play safe to make it to the top four RCB need to win today while KXIP still have an outside chance if they win all their remaining matches.RCB are doing well in terms of net run rate & are more likely to reach the top four despite their loss to KKR in the last match.On the other side KXIP hopes in reaching to the four are a little elusive but they can definitely hurt RCB's chances to qualify to the top four.Last time these 2 teams met RCB almost won the game but a Miller thunderbold comes from nowhere & haunted RCB.This has been their problem all season RCB  are not closing on their opponents chances.Lets have a look at their stats..................
Team     Played    Won    Lost    Player To Watch      Last 5 Matches
RCB        14            8         6         Chris Gayle                   L W L W L
KXIP      13           5          8         David Hussey                L L W L L
I certainly think RCB has a better chance today as they have home ground advantage where they rarely lose but u cannot underestimate KXIP the way they beat RCB in their last encounter.So lets see who gets it right today!!!!!!!!!!!!

MUMBAI INDIANS VS SUNRISERS HYDERABAD

Tonight in the IPL its MI taking on SH at Wankhede Stadium,Mumbai.Both the teams look great but here a big question arise->>Which of these are going to make it to the top four??.This match is certainly of great importance to decide which of these teams is going to the top four.MI has won all of their 6 encounters at home this season & are more likely to continue the record.SH has been doing the same but today they are facing the mighty MI & that too at home.Lets look at the teams stats this season.....................
TEAM    PLAYED   WON    LOST    PLAYER TO WATCH   LAST 5 MATCHES
 MI             13             9           4            Mitchell Johnson                 W W W L W
SH             13             8           5             Dale Steyn                           W L W W L

Its a liitle bit difficult to chose but still MI looks good over SH as they are performing stupendous at home plus their bowling attack can kill any team & this time its SH probably the weakest batting side in this years IPL.On the other side SH are having the best bowling attack but i think today it is Batting which is going to be the difference between the 2 teams.







Get ready to see the clash of  titans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RAJASTHAN ROYALS VS CHENNAI SUPER KINGS

So the second encounter is underway with RR taking on CSK at Sawai Mansingh Stadium,Jaipur.CSK after that major defeat against MI they are again back on track after a win in the last game.On the other side RR are doing great & are more likely to give CSK a good fight today.Lets have a look at their stats.............................
TEAM            PLAYED         WON           LOST                PLAYER TO WATCH
CSK                   13                    10                  3                        M S Dhoni
RR                     13                     9                   4                        Shane Watson

I think RR might win today as they have home ground advantage plus the form of Watson,Dravid,Rahane are a great boost to the team.On the other side the home ground advantage can haunt CSK.











Lets see who gets it right today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

KOLKATA KNIGHT RIDERS VS ROYAL CHALLENGERS BANGALORE

Today in the 1st match its KKR taking on RCB at JSCA International Stadium Complex,Ranchi.RCB look in great form & are favourites to win today although the are playing away from home still looking in the form of  players like Gayle,De Villiers,Kohli their is no one beating RCB.KKR on the other side also look good with Debarata Das coming in for Iqbal Abdulla,Senanayke in for Morgan.Lets have a look at their stats..............
TEAM                PLAYED                 WON                  LOST          PLAYER TO WATCH 
RCB                        13                          8                          5                     A B De Villiers
KKR                        13                          5                          8                     Yousuf Pathan

I favour RCB over KKR as they look a balanced side plus the form of RCB they look like winning today.On the other side KKR have the home ground advantage & they have upset the odds many times.









So lets see if they can do the same today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

KINGS XI PUNJAB VS SUNRISERS HYDERABAD

So the second match is underway & its KXIP taking on SH at Punjab Cricket Association Stadium,Mohali.It looks like tha clash of titans although SH is not performing the way they were doing at the start of the season but still they have got players who can change the game for them at any stage.On the contrary KXIP are doing pretty well than what they were doing at the start of the season.Lets have a look at their stats...........................
Played-12                         Won-5                    Lost-7                      KXIP

I will favour KXIP over SH as they are playing at home plus looking into the form of David Miller 
their is no one beating KXIP.Lets see who gets it right today!!!!!!!!!!

PUNE WARRIORS INDIA VS MUMBAI INDIANS

Tonight in the IPL its 2 exciting matches kicking off with PWI taking on MI at Subrata Roy Sahara Stadium,Pune.PWI have disappointed  everyone who has shown  faith in them & are low down in the points table whereas MI are looking good & are coming from a huge win in their last match.Lets have a look at the stats......................

Played-12               Won-8                Lost-4                        MI

Player to watch-Kieron Pollard(MI)Player to watch-Aaron Finch(PWI)
I think MI gonna win today as they have a balanced side plus sachin is back in form after a good knock against KKR,the only thing that can haunt them is that PWI are playing at home.....!!!!!!!!

DELHI DAREDEVILS VS ROYAL CHALLENGERS BANGALORE

Tonight in the IPL its DD taking on RCB at Feroz Shah Kotla,Delhi.RCB are doing great & are likely to reach in the top four whereas DD are certainly out of the top four which is quite clear by their stats..........................
Played-                      Won-                 Lost-                          DD
Played-                      Won-                 Lost-                          RCB
Player to Watch-Virat Kohli(RCB)Player to Watch-David Warner(DD)
I think RCB is gonna win today as they looks more promising over DD plus they have a proper balance between their batting & bowling.On the other side DD are suffering a little in their batting lineup.The only thing that can haunt RCB is the home ground advantage,so lets see if RCB can win this after getting thrashed by Miller craziness!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PUNE WARRIORS INDIA VS KOLKATA KNIGHT RIDERS

Today in the 2nd match of the IPL its PWI taking on KKR at Pune.PWI are doing great with their batting but they seriously need to look at their bowling whereas KKR are doing good both with their batting as well as bowling & looks a more promising side over PWI but the home ground factor can haunt KKR as their performance away from home is not good.Lets have a look at their stats..................................................
Played-12                   Won-4                         Lost-8                                      KKR

Player to watch-Yusuf Pathan(KKR)

I think its KKR day as they are playing good cricket & Defending Champions know how to make it to the top four............................

RAJASTHAN ROYALS VS KINGS XI PUNJAB

Tonight in the IPL we have 2 interesting matches starting with RR taking on KXIP at Punjab Cricket Association,Mohali.RR are coming from an easy win from their last match over DD whereas KXIP are coming from a blasting win from their last match over RCB in which David Miller played a blinder.Lets have a look at their stats.............................

Played-12        Won-8        Lost-4                       RR

Played-11        Won-5        Lost-6                       KXIP
Player to watch-David Miller(KXIP)Player to watch-Shane Watson(RR)

Its going to be a tough decision but  i would certainly favour KXIP over RR as they have home ground benefit plus the form of David Miller is like "icing on the cake" for Kings.

CHELSEA VS TOTTENHAM

One more time Andre Villas Boas gets against his former club & he would love to win it this time. This is one of the important matches of the season & that too against his former club Chelsea.Last time these two teams met Chelsea won 4-2 that too at White Hart Lane,so he would love to win this one as this is going to be a decider for finishing in the top four & qualify for the Champions League.

I would certainly favour Chelsea over Tottenham as they are playing at home plus their last win over Man Utd. was hilarious whereas Tottenham are good at home but they have struggled playing away games.

CHENNAI SUPER KINGS VS SUNRISERS HYDERABAD

Tonight in IPL its going to be a blast with SH taking on CSK at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium,Hyderabad.CSK till last match were playing like champions but in their last match they were completely outplayed by MI as they got the lowest total in IPL 2013.On the other side SH are doing well & has amazed the odds by their performance but still are at 5th in the points table with a hand in match over other teams.Lets have a look at their stats.....................
Played-11           Won-7         Lost-4                          SH
Played-12           Won-9         Lost-3                         CSK

Player to watch-Shikhar Dhawan(SH)
Player to watch-M.S. Dhoni(CSK)
I favour SH over CSK as they are more dominant at home plus the comeback of Shikhar Dhawan is a great boost to the side whereas CSK have always comeback after such a defeat,lets see if they can do it this time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

KOLKATA KNIGHT RIDERS VS MUMBAI INDIANS

Tonight MI will take on KKR at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai.MI has performed well in this years IPL which is clearly shown by their stats..........................
Played-11            Won-7         Lost-4           MI
Played-11            Won-4         Lost-7           KKR
KKR though has not performed well but they are getting some command over the points table,they can give tough fight to MI.
Player to watch-Sachin Tendulkar(MI)
Player to watch-Sunil Narine(KKR)
My prediction goes with MI as the home ground factor will come in handy but the mighty West Indian Sunil Narine can turn it for KKR at any stage...............................

Get ready for an epic encounter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RAJASTHAN ROYALS VS DELHI DAREDEVILS

Today its 2 exciting encounters in the IPL starting with RR taking on DD at Sawai Mansingh Stadium,Jaipur.RR are already playing like champions,their hilarious runchase in the last match against PWI showed that they have players who can win for them at any stage.Their stats also look very impressive....................
Played-11            Won-7        Lost-4                   RR
Played-11            Won-3        Lost-8                   DD
On the other side DD have done nothing to increase their fan following though Warner is showing some form but due to the bad form of other players they are going nowhere & are at 8th in the points table.
Player to watch-David Warner (DD)
Player to watch-Shane Watson(RR)
I think that RR is going to win todays encounter as the last meeting between these 2 sides RR won quite easily.So just wait for the match to see who gets it right today.....................

ROYAL CHALLENGERS BANGALORE VS KINGS XI PUNJAB

Tonight in the IPL its KXIP taking on RCB at PCA Stadium,Mohali.I would certainly go with RCB as they have the Gayle storm plus they have a proper balance between their batting & bowling.Today their is a change in the side Pujara comes in for Dilshan.Their stats look very promising.........................
Plyaed-11               Won-7              Lost-4                          RCBPlyaed-10               Won-4              Lost-6                          KXIP
On the other side KXIP are at 6th in the points table & have performed quite good enough at home.They will be hard to beat at home,but still it looks like RCB are better side.
Player to watch-Chris Gayle(RCB)Player to watch-Adam Gilchrist(KXIP)
So just enjoy & see who proves to be a better side on the day..............................
