Its DC Vs BRC for one final time!
The battle lines are drawn and the stage is set for the final of this season of IPL as DC takes on BRC!You cant say that they were the 2 best teams of the tournament but these 2 teams have certainly performed when it mattered and they deserve to be here.
Being a sports fan I had a disappointing last week seeing both Liverpool and Punjab being knocked out of contention.In Liverpool's case it was a mere disappointment after having had a consistent run in the league after abt....i dnt remember....8-9 years?But Punjab came so close needing just 117 runs to win against Chennai but their batting let them down yet again on a challenging 2 paced pitch.Personally IPL is not the same without Punjab :-( .And RR,who also had the same concern with bat gave KKR their second consecutive (consolation) win after a shabby performance with the bat but were fighting till the end and it required a spirited display by Agarkar to see them through.
Anyway the 4 better teams(DC,DD,BRC,CSK) qualified for the semi final.Punjab was knocked out based on their NRR as they did not win any match convincingly which was evident from their poor NRR.In the first semifinal Gillli got DC off to a blistering start making 85 off 35 balls as DC knocked off the req 154 very easily.In the second semi final CSK kind of lost track in the last few overs against a discplined BRC attack and that was the difference in the end.
The last 2 teams standing in the battle are DC and BRC.DC's batting firepower looks better than BRC but Blore looks like a more balanced side with bat and ball.BRC have also hit a good run in the latter stages of the tournament and it should be a very good even contest.Looking forward to it.
