Finally the D day has come and stage is set for the grand finale of one of the most popular cricket leagues – DLF – Indian Premier League. Two teams which have made it to the finals are Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings. Initially Rajasthan Royals were considered as the weakest team of the league but under the captaincy of Shane Warne, they have proved that it takes determination and sheer talent to come up and give a cracking reply to the critics. On the other hand Chennai Super Kings who were lead by T20 world cup winner captain M.S.Dhoni started very well in the tournament and it was considered they would make in the top 4. But in the middle of the league matches, they had a poor show and they almost were out of the semi finals race. But as they say ” Luck favors the brave” and thats what had happened. Chennai Super Kings defeated the Kings XI Punjab in semi finals and that too comprehensively by 9 wickets.

The teams will take on each other today at 8 pm IST and they will be playing for this wonderful trophy which is diamond-studded and encrusted with other precious gems like rubies and yellow and blue sapphires. We do expect this will be a real thriller and we will see the best from both teams

We from team of iplcricketlive.com wish all the best to both the teams and hope the superior one wins.

In a semi final match  -2 it was a real team show by Chennai Super Kings and in they end they were successful in maintaining there 100% record against Kings XI Punjab. Today batting first Kings XI could manage only 112 and it was a cakewalk for the Chennai Super Kings as they defeated them by 9 wickets to enter the finals. Now its Rajasthan Royals vs Chennai Super Kings on 1st june and it expected that it will be some what better than the semi finals in which losing teams had a dismal show and it never looked they were posing any threats to the winners.

Chennai Super Kings Won Semi Final By 9 Wickets 

The semi finals  of DLF – IPL are really not something which the spectators wish to see. The teams are scoring much lower than what they did earlier in the tournament. Today is was Kings XI vs Chennai Super Kings and Kings Punjab won the toss and decided to bat first. The decision proved to be really awful as they lost Hopes when the score was just 8. This was not the start anyone wish to have in an all important hopes. Ntini , Morkel and Gony all got two wickets each. After Hopes it was Sangakkara who also went back to pavilion.Soon after Yuvraj and Marsh also were back to pavilion. Batsmen followed one after the another and Kings XI were reeling at 45/6 in 10 overs. In the end it was Powar and Mota who helped them cross the hundred run mark and the team ended with 112 in 20 overs. It looks like the final of Rajasthan Royals vs Chennai Super Kings is on the cards,but cricket is full of uncertainty and thus we are fingers crossed this time.
