The change in venue has bought another factor into the IPL tournament, the rain. The South African weather is unpredictable and is affecting the results of many matches. We recently saw the washout of the cricket match between the Mumbai Indians V/s the Rajasthan Royals. But what worries me more is the Duckworth Lewis method. Even the pundits of cricket have been unable to figure this method out. Like the cricketers, we merely follow the target score achieved by this method. However, once the opposition sets the scores onboard, this method supposedly favors them, especially in T-20. Target run rates are high in these 20 over games. This pressure is further increased by the Duckworth Lewis method. No matter how many wickets you have in hand, it does get difficult when the required run rate is extremely high.
Today’s match features the Delhi Daredevils V/s the Chennai Superkings. This will be a match where the bowlers from both sides will be taken for a ride. Both teams consists of explosive batsmen, thus the team bowling with the best discipline will hold the upper hand. The pitch does look flat for this match and the skies look clear from the dark clouds. Even though the Delhi Daredevils have the most dangerous opening pairs in the form of Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir, expect the momentum of the Chennai Superkings to see them through this match.
