IPL 2013 Super Saturday - Delhi vs Rajasthan and Mumbai vs Chennai Live Streaming

IPL Live Streaming 2013 DD vs RR and MI vs CSK

The initial few matches have been low scoring games but the finishes have been tight. And this is what Indian Premier League is all about. You don't need a nail cutter when you see IPL! You get nail biting finishes! Saturday brings super treat for the cricket fans as Delhi Daredevils take on Rajasthan Royals followed by Mumbai Indians taking on Chennai Super Kings.

Delhi Daredevils vs Rajasthan Royals (1st Match)

Delhi Daredevils started their IPL 2013 campaign against Kolkata Knight Riders and they faced a defeat. So Delhi surely looks for a good win here over Rajasthan Royals. Rajasthan is playing its first match for this season.

Mahela Jayawardene led side Delhi Daredevils was a team to beat last year but this year they look brittle in absence of some key players. Kevin Pietersen won't feature this year due to injury. Jesse Ryder suffered a brutal attack few days before the IPL started and hence he won't be able to make it this year. Even swashbuckling opener Sehwag was rested in first match due to back spasms. All these injury issues keep Jayawardene under pressure.

A lot relies on Jayawardene and someone else like David Warner to score as much runs as possible and give their bowlers a fair chance to win. Morne Morkel is a key bowler in Delhi's team and he will join the team after couple of games.

Rajasthan Royals have played Delhi ten times in the past and they have managed to win four. So this would be a good opportunity for them to not only improve their stats against Delhi but to also begin IPL 6 with a victory. Apart from the first year's IPL title win, RR has always been disappointing and seen in the bottom teams of IPL. 

This certainly looks to be the last IPL for RR captain and the 'Wall' Rahul Dravid. So he would love to end his IPL streak with another title to his team. The team would expect good performances from the overseas players as well as Ajinkya Rahane, Menaria, Stuart Binny, etc.

Chennai Super Kings vs Mumbai Indians (2nd Match)

The best team so far in the IPL history and last year's runners-up Chennai Super Kings takes on Mumbai Indians at their home ground. This would be a tougher match for Mumbai as they just lost to Rajasthan Royals and now they lock horns with a very strong team of Chennai. Another loss here for Mumbai will put them on back foot!

Not to forget, CSK has brilliant winning record at home. The team would certainly miss the services of some very key players like Morkel, Faf du Plesis, etc who would join the team very soon. Couple of Srilankan players may not play as well due to the ongoing political issues.

The most consistent and best performing captain ever in IPL has been MS Dhoni. He is the only captain to stay unchanged in the IPL history. He scores good amount of runs for the team and leads from the front. Suresh Raina is the biggest batting asset for CSK. They also have good openers like Hussey and Murali Vijay. Badrinath provides a good strength to the middle order. Jadeja performs a good allrounder job in shortest form of cricket.

Mumbai Indians would be desperate for a win and a lot would be expected from Sachin, Ponting, Karthik, Rohit Sharma and Pollard. This team although doesn't look favourite to win in Chennai but they have huge potential to give tough time to Chennai and even create an upset.

Delhi Daredevils vs Rajasthan Royals - Pune Warriors vs Deccan Chargers - Teams eyeing a revenge

IPL Live Streaming 2013

On one hand defending champions Chennai loses another match and on the other hand team that finished at the bottom last year viz. Delhi Daredevils proudly stands on the top of points tally so far! Credit goes to Delhi for their superb all round performance so far. We have two matches today where two teams would seek revenge. Rajasthan Royals would love to beat Delhi after tasting defeat from them in last match. Same is the case with Pune Warriors who tasted a loss against Deccan Chargers earlier.

1st Match: Delhi Daredevils vs Rajasthan Royals

Three defeats on the trot has been a major setback for Rajasthan Royals. Especially the last defeat was heart breaking for Rajasthan as they lost it by just one run against Delhi Daredevils. As mentioned in the earlier posts, Rajasthan batting line up depends a lot on the openers Rahul Dravid, Ajinkya Rahane and also on Owais Shah. As Shane Watson has finished his tour to West Indies, he has joined Rajasthan Royals and may replace Kevin Cooper who is injured. Watson can bowl well and also add value to the batting line up if he can come on position 3 or 4.

Eyes would be set again on Virender Sehwag who has four half centuries on his name in this year's IPL. David Warner joins the team which makes the team even stronger. Once Kevin Pietersen leaves for his international commitments, hopefully Warner will fill his space. Pietersen has played a very vital role in Delhi's wins so far. The biggest success for Delhi this year has been Morne Morkel. He has 18 wickets to his name and the 'purple cap' too! Irfan Pathan and Umesh Yadav provide a good supporting role to Morne Morkel.

2nd Match: Deccan Chargers vs Pune Warriors 

 Pune Warriors have a story similar to Rajasthan Royals. Fans had least expectations from them but they turned out to be one of the most successful teams in first half of IPL 2012. But now both these teams have tasted few defeats which has brought a setback in their camp.

Pune Warriors travels to Cuttack to play Deccan Chargers after suffering a loss back home against the Chargers. They lost by 18 runs thus being the only team to lose against Deccan Chargers. Pune Warriors would hate to lose their winning momentum and they need few wins to ensure their position in the play-offs.

Deccan Chargers have lost everything except one match and one rain wash out. They have nothing to lose and as mentioned earlier, they can play biggest role of party spoilers! Two players in best of their forms from  Chargers are Shikhar Dhawan and Dale Steyn. One has single handedly managed to score freely and the other had clinched wickets without any firm support from rest of the bowling departmen.

Overall both the matches would be interesting as one team from each match is thirsty for a revenge and badly looking for a victory to move up in the points tally.
