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.

The highest scorer was Tillakaratne Dilshan who scored 33. In the end it was Rajasthan ROyals who won the match by 105 runs and now they will take on the team who wins the second semi final.
