So the top 2 in the round robin phase will meet in the final. Lets hope Delhi make a better match of it than in the first playoff game.

If both teams play to their potential it could be a fantastic match.

IPL 2021 Match 1 3pm (UK)
Mumbai Indians
Royal Challengers Bangalore

Prediction for this match has to be Mumbai Indians, despite RCB's batting with Kohli, De Villiers & Maxwell. One to watch, for RCB will be New Zealand pace bowler Kyle Jamieson, at 6ft 8 he has made a big impact in his short International career

RCB (160-8) beat Mumbai Indians (159-9) with a single off the last ball of the match. Chris Lynn top scored for Mumbai with 49 & Harshal Patel helped to restrict them at the death with 5-27. A B de Villiers took RCB to within sight of victory with 48 as he was run out in the last over.

Yes the list was incomplete, I missed off England's best player. And Jonny Bairstow.
Josh Butter was also missing. I've replaced the list.

Match 2 Chennai Super Kings v Delhi Capitals

Capitals beat the Super Kings by 7 wickets. Delhi did well to restrict Chennai to 187-7, Raina top scored with 54 & added 63 with Moeen (36) in a 3rd wicket partnership, after a tight powerplay with Woakes picking up 2-18 & Khan 2-23. Sam Curran (34) & Jadeja (26) added a quickfire 50 to post a par total. But Shaw (72) & Dhawan (85) added an opening stand of 138 as they coasted home with 8 balls to spare. Thakur, who had troubled England in white ball cricket during the winter, took an expensive 2-53. Earlier Sam took his brother to the cleaners with a 20 plus over, after he had bowled tightly in his first 3.
