Rajasthan vs Hyderabad and Mumbai vs Bangalore Live Streaming

Yesterday brought a joy for the defending champions' fans as Kolkata managed a win after a long time. Now it is the IPL Super Saturday with two big matches lined up. And when you find Bangalore in the line up, you think of Chris Gayle first, isn't it? Just wait for another blazing innings from him today. Let us preview both the matches first:

Rajasthan Royals vs Sunrisers Hyderabad at Jaipur

This would be match number 36 which is at the half way stage of the double round robin stage. Rajasthan Royals and Sunrisers Hyderabad have done better than what was expected from them. These two teams are still amongst the top teams this year who have emerged out to be the favourites to win the IPL. The other thing common between them is their last match defeat that they would like to forget and bounce back today.

Both Rajasthan and Hyderabad played their last match against Chennai Super Kings and lost even after posting a good total on the board. Bowling wise they were good as they took the match to the last over but ultimately lost to CSK.

For Rajasthan most of the times the outcome depends on how good Rahul Dravid, Ajinkya Rahane and Shane Watson fares. In the bowling department, James Faulkner has played well under pressure situations. For Sunrisers, there is a range of hitters right from Dhawan to White to Perera. They also have a world class bowling attack comprising of Dale Steyn and Amit Mishra. Even Karan Sharma has started to click well in recent matches.

Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challengers Bangalore at Mumbai

Cricket comes to Mumbai again as Mumbai Indians take on the mighty Royal Challengers Bangalore. The visiting team is comfortably placed at the number one position in the IPL points tally. Mumbai Indians who were amongst the top four in first few matches have slipped down and they need few more wins again.

Who can forget the blazing century from Chris Gayle when RCB last played Pune Warriors. Spectators and fans of IPL would expect him to continue his form from that game even in today's match to see some more towering sixes. AB de Villiers is also smashing the ball pretty well and all he need is more overs to play. Virat Kohli is in good batting form. Overall RCB is a dangerous batting side to compete with.

Mumbai Indians have a daunting task on hand to beat RCB at home.They are high on confidence with their nail biting win against the Kolkata Knight Riders. It was good to see someone from the opening pair finally clicking for the team. Smith scored a quickfire knock to anchor the innings and take MI home against KKR. Overall opening stands have been disappointing so far for this team even in presence of Sachin Tendulkar. The whole batting credit goes to their in form middle order. Bowling wise they are doing a good job.

So gear up for a super Saturday as we have two classic matches on our hand to be enjoyed.

Mumbai Indians vs Royal Challengers Bangalore Live Streaming - IPL 2013

MI vs RCB IPL Live Streaming 2013

In a recently ongoing poll related to the favourite IPL team this year, Mumbai Indians rank second behind Chennai Super Kings. Sounds pretty genuine, isn't it? Well Mumbai Indians is always among the top favourite teams of IPL and Sachin Tendulkar's presence plays a major role in that. 

Mumbai Indians takes on Royal Challengers Bangalore in the 2nd match of IPL 2013. Both these teams have really been highly promising in last few editions of IPL. But both the teams have failed to lift the trophy. These teams would be eager to begin this year's IPL account with a victory.

Venue for this match would be Bangalore and hence RCB will enjoy the home support which also plays a major role in IPL matches. With so much of pressure involved in this T20 league, support from the home crowd can work as a confidence booster.

The biggest attraction this year for Mumbai Indians, apart from Sachin and Malinga would be Ricky Ponting. He will be captaining the side for the first time. It would be an absolute treat to watch two greatest batsmen Sachin and Ponting batting together. Ponting has been in good knock in Big Bash and Shield Cricket tournament and he can play a big role for Mumbai Indians this year.

Mumbai Indians has a well balance batting as well as bowling order. With the presence of Malinga, Ojha and  Munaf Patel. They also have certain part timers as well as full time bowlers to make a mark. Batting line up looks good in presence of Sachin, Ponting, Rayudu, Rohit Sharma, etc.

Royal Challengers Bangalore is well known for swashbuckling batsman Chris Gayle. He wins matches for RCB single handedly. But sometimes this over dependency of Chris Gayle hurts the overall performance. Team's captain Virat Kohli is a brilliant cricketer and has scored a lot of runs in IPL. Dilshan, AB de Villiers and many such high scoring batsmen make the batting line up strong but still a lot depends on Chris Gayle's performances.

Let us hope for an exciting match between MI and RCB which sets the tone for a good Pepsi IPL 6 ahead!

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.
