In this article we will try and analyze the reason for the failure of these two teams.

The IPLT20 has certainly lived up to the people’s expectation, we are half way through the tournament and we can see that, things are changing; the teams which initially won are finding it difficult to continue their winning streak. The underdogs are performing well and are beating the top teams, you guessed it right! I am talking about yesterdays match, Mumbai Indians beat the Rajasthan Royals in a convincing way, and it was proved once again that in cricket you can’t predict anything.

Finally the Mumbai Indians registered their first win in the IPLT20, it was a convincing victory. It’s always good to see an underdog win and in yesterdays match Mumbai Indians were the underdogs. Of late the Mumbai Indians were in the news for all the wrong reasons and this victory will definitely be a welcome relief for both the team and the master blaster Sachin Tendulkar.

Yet another victory denied. Royal challengers were so near yet so far. They did put up a good fight against the mighty Chennai Superkings but in vain. I was there, in all flesh and blood, to witness the downfall of the Challengers which on the contrary could have easily been a big upset for the Superkings. The stage was all set by some clean hitting by Ross Taylor and some good pulls and flicks by Wasim Jaffer. The other batsmen could've easily cruised thro' but they simply couldn't join the party.
