Update: KKR Wins IPL 2012 Title!

Kolkata Knight Riders take on Chennai Super Kings in the IPL 2012 finals! Wait is over, the speculations come to an end. IPL 2012 being the most open and most dramatic IPL of all times provided the best of entertainment to us right from day one! We never knew that Chennai Super Kings will enter the finals for third consecutive time and a total of fourth time in total five IPLs played so far! A bit of luck and swashbuckling performances in the last few matches have earned Chennai a place in the finals. Kolkata has been a good team right from the start and they picked momentum at the right time to never look back.

The final of IPL 2012 is being played in Chennai which is the home ground of CSK. So again an added advantage of home support for Chennai Super Kings. On this very venue day before yesterday they smashed Delhi Daredevils for more than 220 runs and registered a very big win. Murali Vijay clicked form with the quickest ton of IPL 2012. He was well supported by the other batsmen of CSK which helped them to register a mammoth score which Delhi never looked like achieving. 

Never say die attitude of Chennai Super Kings has come to their rescue. One more good match and they will be able to lift the IPL for third consecutive time! They forgot their performances in league stage that at times lacked lustre. They shined when it really needed. Apart from a strong batting line up the bowling department is variably decorated by quickies like Hilfenhaus, Bravo, Morkel, etc and the spin department is well taken care of by Ashwin, Jakati and Jadeja.

On the other hand Kolkata has been truly consistent throughout the league. KKR has a good variation in the bowling department as well. Balaji is well known for his slow deliveries which come unexpected and also his late swingers. Kallis is a very experienced bowler whereas Lee is the quickest of all. Sunil Narine has been the best of the lot who is unreadable at times and hence he clinches a lot wickets with low economy rate. 

Gautam Gambhir has handled the dual responsibility of leading the team and opening the batting very well. He has been the highest Indian run scorer in IPL 2012 and has been the major contributor in KKR's wins so far. Batting line up for KKR looks strong with the likes of Gambhir, McCullum, Kallis, Yusuf Pathan, etc.

As we all saw in the last match, the pitch here at Chennai will provide a lot of runs to the team batting first. Teams chasing in IPL 2012 have won more matches but it is advisable to win the toss and bat first in the finals as the pressure is immense while chasing.

IPL is back with a bang! Very soon we all would enjoy IPL 2013 Live Streaming scores online!

Mumbai vs Bangalore and Kolkata vs Chennai - Two Big Matches Today

MI vs RCB Live Streaming - KKR vs CSK Live Streaming

This isn't weekend still both the matches are nothing less than block busters. Reason being we are into the final stages of IPL where many teams are trying to find their feet in the play-offs. Mumbai Indians have done well to be in top three and they are now almost in to the next stage unless and until they don't lose all of their games. On the other hand Kolkata are almost in! Other two teams battling out today are Bangalore and Chennai who are still in the race and eager to win all they play to qualify for next round.

1st Match: Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challengers Bangalore

Mumbai Indians takes on Royal Challengers in Bangalore today. RCB will be wary of the fact that MI has lost just one away match this year. So beating them in Bangalore also won't be easy. RCB has thumped the oppositions comprehensively in last two matches. Mumbai has been in good form lately.

The biggest plus point for RCB is its batting line up. With the likes of Gayle, AB de Villiers, Dilshan and Kohli; they look unbeatable. Bowling is well managed by Zaheer, Muralitharan, etc. On the other hand Rohit Sharma from Mumbai has clicked form with one of the best T20 ton you would have ever seen. Gibbs has made a brilliant come back for Mumbai. Malinga is a feather in Mumbai's crown. So overall this match promises to be a thriller!

2nd Match: Kolkata Knight Riders vs Chennai Super Kings

Defending champions CSK are left out with just one option if they need to qualify for next round - win everything that they play! So their path ahead is not easy. But they are the best team as far as bounce back is concerned. Beating KKR at the Eden Gardens won't be easy for Dhoni's XI.

CSK is high in confidence with a win over Rajasthan and table toppers Delhi. With 15 points from 14 matches, they have kept their hopes alive in the league. The man in best form recently for CSK is Hilfenhaus who clinched two Man of the Match awards in last two matches due to his brilliant bowling.

Kolkata relies too much on Gambhir's batting. If Gambhir clicks today, Kolkata would look stronger outfit. With the likes of Lee, Kallis, McCullum, Narine and many more to name; Gambhir has a strong team which can beat any team on any given day.
