It was a day with low scoring matches. In the first match between Kolkata and Rajasthan Royals, RR put a target of 102. Knight Riders somehow managed to achieve the target in 20th over losing 6 wickets. Lakshmi Shukla proved to be the Dream Man for Kolkata.

Bet bazaar witnessed very tense day because of the low scores of the matches. Bets were in support of RR but went to KKR. Target for the first match was betted less than 135 by just 5% of bet bazaar players. Loosing more wickets was favoring KKR while RR lost 9 wickets aginst 6 by KKR. In the second match, Bet Bazaar felt relaxed after CSK winning the match. Total Catch outs in the match was favoring 6-9 which came rejoicing with 9 catch outs. Winning the toss was also favoring CSK which Dhoni proved right yet again.

Now the IPL picture is quite clear where Delhi, Deccans and Chennai are in Semis while Bangalore is on the verge of banking the spot. Game goes tougher now and the real infatuation has to come alive among the teams and the bet bazaar players. Keep your fingers crossed and keep watching the unlimited stimulation…
