At this stage of 2012 IPL when all the seven teams are
looking for the playoffs, the competition is very tough. To give a new stunt to
this tournament, another such breathtaking and exciting match is waiting
tonight which will be played between Mumbai Indians and
Kolkata Knight Riders at Wankhede Stadium,
Mumbai. The match has been scheduled at 8.00 PM IST.
Although Mumbai literally huffed and puffed to get victories
during the initial stage of this IPL but as the tournament progressed, the team
started proving their efficiency after having little changes. In their last two
matches, they bagged impressive triumphs against Bangalore and Kolkata which
have paved their way to the second position in the DLF IPL Standings 2012 and
have also strengthen their position in the playoffs. Inclusion of Herschelle
Gibbs has appeared as a lucky champ for this team because he has done great job
in both the matches played. Apart from Gibbs, another Mumbai player who has
been the center of attraction of this team is Pollard. He has been outstanding
in batting, bowling and fielding. His magnificent action in the field has
really given an awesome hit to the team’s success. Mumbai is in full swing at
the moment and is looking for another win tonight to be in No. 1 rank and if
this team consistency sustains till the end of this IPL, Mumbai is not very far
from the much coveted IPL championship title.
At this moment, Kolkata is in a wobbling position and are
looking for a win tonight to strengthen their position in the playoffs and also
to take revenge for the Eden match against Mumbai held on May 12. So compared
to their opponent, this match is more important for Kolkata. Moreover when the
outcome shifts a little from the expected trend, the situation seems to be more
thrilling and that is what is happening with Kolkata. Giving a mind blowing
performance in most of the matches in this IPL, Kolkata Knight Riders moved up
to the table topper position and then suddenly they started losing matches in a
disappointing manner. These successive losses in the last two matches against
Mumbai and Chennai have pushed Kolkata in the 3rd position and
today’s game will decide whether Gambhir’s team will add colors to the playoffs
or will be pushed out of IPL 2012. The main thing to worry about this team is
the middle order batting. Apart from the openers- McCullum and Captain Gambhir,
only Kallis and Tiwary succeed in adding some runs to the team total and that
too occasionally. So if the team does not change this trend tonight and if the
entire batting line up does not contribute, then it is seriously a matter to
worry for Kolkata because they are well aware that Mumbai is a very strong
rival to defy.
Obviously the respective supporters are praying and
supporting their teams whole heartedly but in this match, Mumbai is in a
favorable position- firstly, for their superb performance level and rank and
secondly, the venue is their home ground. But for final results, we still have
to wait for another few hours till the last ball of the match is hit.
