@stuart-wallace can't wait! Not sure what odds RR opened at for the title but they look really impressive so far.
RCB are favourites to win today with the bookmakers. I presume this is to do with the historical head to head record between the two...
Also, Wankhede has so far been a below par batting pitch in the first few games... I'd be interested to see the bowling lineups when they are announced. The majority of the wickets that have fallen here so far have been to pace (not exclusively e.g. Chahar has a couple, Khan one etc) but most are pacers.
In response to my own comment, the pitch is apparently alot more batting friendly this time so scores are expected to be higher.
RCB opt to bowl.... so will it be another Jos Buttler masterclass? I think RCB have the better batting lineup though so RR probably want 180, although RR have thr stronger bowling lineup...

@stuart-wallace Pakistan are 1.8 to win this afternoon which to me seems very high... I assume that this is classic bookies "big team weighting" because it's Australia but a full strength Pakistan side, who are amazing in T20's, especially at home, versus a very weakened Australia team, surely should be shorter? I don't usually go for pre-match entry times if they're going to go in play but feels like a value position to me...
Thoughts anyone?
Hmmm, yes Matt i sorta concur with what you are saying. This is another tricky one. PAK possibly have the 2 best limited overs batsmen at the moment in Babur and Ul_Haq. i notice that the price has come in to 1.74 for PAK, but i wonder if the dew might have some effect on team bowling 2nd? One of those situations where i am going to wait until after the toss and then def lay AUS if they are batting, but might be a bit more circumspect if PAK are batting with the likelihood of the above two batters getting good scores.
A long winded way to say...not clear at moment.! -

RR V RCB at 15.00 today and PAK V AUS at 16.30.
Indeed!! Looking forward to it.
Yesterdays IPL game was good, so many swings, especially in the last 10 overs of the chase.

NZ v NED would have been interesting to trade when NED were 83-0 off 11 chasing 330 overnight.!

@luke-weston Fantastic Luke, well done. So nice when you are staring at a red, but then recover to pull it round.
BAN collapsed before i could even get a Back on the Draw !
I was right in my observation of Sat night, in that how the hell was Draw still 2.3 when SA were approx 100 ahead and 2 full days to go ! it didnt make any sense to me ,so i piled in, and so it proved. I know weather was a factor, but the App i used (Accuweather) said there was only a small chance of rain during play hours ( makes me wonder if some of the market only look at the weather for the day instead of looking at the weather forecast between 10 - 18.00).
Anyway, bottom line for me was a 17 pt Green (tiny Bank), which was very nice . Once i get starting to play with a much bigger bank in May then i would expect those points figures to drastically reduce. -
I was massively overexposed in this match. Went into the red early, then everything I did went wrong.
Fortunately Bang have had a massive meltdown and I have come out with 6.5 points of green which nearly makes up for the red in the IPL on Friday. I had a fantastic March where pretty much everything went right and got carried away. Discipline!

BAN rolling over here - already 6 down, and LTD has gone out to 400.- to use Nathans word, looking now to cash out and maybe a peanut on a Back of draw, with maybe weather intervention ?

LTD 2.3 overnight, now 7.5

What i love about cricket trading is the huge swings!
Pre match research was telling me that PKs had the stronger bowling lineup and although CSK bat deep, they're all allrounders which previous research suggested wasn't ideal.
After the powerplay I thought PK were good value at 2.02, so I backed them. I queued an exit at 1.51 hoping they'd bat well however wickets kept falling and they ended on 180 which is well short of the supposed par at this ground. Out to about 2.4, red screen.
However, I wanted to watch the CSK powerplay as, as previously mentioned, PK have a great bowling lineup.
Here we are, end of the powerplay, CSK 27-4 and a matched green screen.
Incredible.

Unfortunately England just can't keep their wickets intact to support Sciver... they'd need a Stokes/Leech style miracle now.
Not traded it as didn't wake up until about 10 overs into the chase and by then it appeared to be one way traffic. Plus i have 6 points on the outright either way!
Tbf though, you can't say Australia won't be worthy winners, they've been phenomenal!

@nathan-bennett got out at 1.05 for an imbalance. Just hoping 1.1 fora green up
