Just a week back Chennai Super Kings- the
two times IPL champion was almost dead! When the other three competitors were
struggling for the playoffs, they were almost out of the playoffs. However,
fortune smiled on them. The strongest competitor lost their last match, which ensured
the fourth position for Chennai in the playoffs. Throughout the group matches,
this team played in an underrated way but their luck favored a lot to get
qualified in the playoffs.
Being in the playoffs, yesterday, Chennai played against
Mumbai in the Eliminator match where they smashed their rival and got an
impressive victory of 38 runs. So, to be in the final Chennai boys have to go
through another round and that is the Qualifier 2 match. In this match, Chennai
will confront Qualifier 1 loser Delhi Daredevils on May 25, 2012. This match
has been scheduled at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai
from 8.00 PM IST.
At this stage of IPL 2012,
something unexpected is happening. After a marvelous innings throughout this
tournament, when Delhi’s position was almost confirmed in the final, Kolkata
defeated Delhi in Qualifier 1 match. On the other hand, Chennai has been an
underrated team compared to other playoff teams but they managed to play an
electrifying innings in the Eliminator
match against Mumbai to move up
to Qualifier 2. In their last match against Mumbai Indians, till 15 over,
Chennai managed to get only 114 runs for 5 wickets and that too mainly for two
superb innings from Badrinath and Hussey. Then Captain Dhoni took the
responsibility to give a boost to the team score to 187 along with Dwayne
Bravo. This unbroken partnership came up
with 73 runs from only 29 balls.
Besides these batsmen,
bowlers have also done a miracle in the pitch by taking up quick wickets. Bravo
and Morkel were superb last night and the silent but one of the most attacking
performer, Hilfenhaus has done a great job throughout the innings. He
has taken 11 wickets from 7 matches in this IPL. Ashwin is the most reliable
bowler with an average economy rate of 6.32.
This superb combination of batting and bowling squad has
done a great job for this team which has moved Chennai team one step closer to
the IPL 2012 final. Chennai supporters are expecting another such marvelous
innings from their favourite team players tomorrow which would open the door
for them to the final.
