IPL trends

The inaugural IPL cricket match at South Africa brought some interesting factors into play. The change in venue has definitely altered the basic idea of the 20-20 game. The South African pitches are definitely not as flat as the pitches at home, and making big scores like 200 will be a rare feat in the upcoming games. The first few matches highlighted that even a meager score of 140 can be easily defended on these seaming spinning tracks.Short bursts of rain and batting under the lights with the dew around the ground has made matters worse for this entertaining game. Most teams will have to alter the way they approach the game; thus expect the batsmen to give a little more respect to their bowlers in the future games.
