Finally we have got the four semi finalist for this year's IPL. 56 league matches are over. Mumbai Indians comprehensively tops the table with 20 points. Then Deccan Chargers at the 2nd position with 16 points, they played some fantastic cricket for the last couple of weeks and won 5 matches in a row to ensure a place for semi final... really hats off to them. For the last two semi final berth, there was a fight between four teams; all the four teams (RCB, CSK, DD & KKR) ended with 14 points. But CSK & RCB made it to the last four with better net run rate.
This is the final point table after the last match of the league.
Team | P | W | L | NRR | Points |
MI | 14 | 10 | 4 | +1.084 | 20 |
DC | 14 | 8 | 6 | -0.297 | 16 |
CSK | 14 | 7 | 7 | +0.274 | 14 |
RCB | 14 | 7 | 7 | +0.219 | 14 |
DD | 14 | 7 | 7 | +0.021 | 14 |
KKR | 14 | 7 | 7 | -0.341 | 14 |
RR | 14 | 6 | 8 | -0.514 | 12 |
KXP | 14 | 4 | 10 | -0.478 | 8 |
KKR played their best cricket for the last couple of games and defeated two strong teams Rajasthan Royals and table topper Mumbai Indians; still they couldn't find any place in the final four courtesy crucial lose against Kings XI Punjab after scoring 200 runs in 20 overs. Delhi Daredevils again disappointed, in the final match yesterday against Deccan Chargers, they couldn't chase down even 145 runs at their home ground. On the other hand, if you see the performance of CSK, they chased down a difficult total of 192 against Kings XI Punjab and qualified for the semi final courtesy superb finish by their captain, Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
So, two big semi finals are coming up; first on 21st, between Mumbai Indians & Royal Challengers Bangalore and the second on 22nd, between Deccan Chargers & Chennai Super Kings.
