After a superb performance by Rajasthan Royals in first semi final now is the turn of second semifinal and we hope to see a thriller atleast today. Yesterday it was a meek performance by Delhi Daredevils and we dont hope to such a performance in semi finals after what have been a superb cricket league. Chennai Super Kings had a superb start in the league but after some foreign players left they had struggled where as on the other hand Kings XI Punjab are riding high on the batting performances of Shaun Marsh , Yuvraj and Kumara Sangakarra.

Now it is captain vs vice captain of the winning T20 world cup – M.S.Dhoni vs Yuvraj Singh and as per punters it is Kings XI Punjab who have more odds of winning.Lets wait and watch today and we again hope may the best one wins
