IPL Live Streaming Cricket 2013

IPL Live Streaming 2013

Indian Premier League has always produced enthralling matches and overall gripped the attention of cricket lovers. In the first half of round robin matches, bowlers seem to have done a great job but suddenly the likes of Gayle change the whole track of the league.

A 30 ball century defies all techniques of cricket and creates so much of buzz about the broken records. Chris Gayle created history with his swashbuckling batting when the record books were rewritten. These ups and downs make IPL interesting every year. One have unfortunately seen empty grounds in an International match but IPL hardly sees such a scene. This year almost every match has seen a house full. It is electrifying when one hears the roar of almost one lakh spectators at the Eden Gardens.

This year some teams have disappointed while some have produced surprises. Last year the top two teams in the round robin were Delhi Daredevils and Kolkata Knight Riders. These year Delhi is finding it tough to even win a match. On the other hand Kolkata had a good start with couple of wins but then they have lost the winning track. Pune Warriors bad form continues as they are also finding it hard to make a mark in this year's league.

On the other hand teams like Kings XI Punjab or Sunrisers Hyderabad have performed much better than expected. Kings XI have had mixed results so far but Sunrisers have surprised everyone with their wins and the way they have been consistently into the top four standings. They have also showcased how a good bowling unit can still prove lethal in a T20 format.

Team like Rajasthan Royals have performed good so far and hopefully they don't observe a slump in their performance. Mumbai Indians have played well in patches and all they lack is consistency. Royal Challengers Bangalore are the most fancied team this year. Well lead by Kohli, the team is doing good as a bowling and batting unit. The most popular and successful team in IPL history, Chennai Super Kings is surprisingly failing a bit at home but overall winning enough matches to stay in top four of IPL's points table. So far so good, four top teams are Chennai, Rajasthan, Hyderabad and Bangalore. But you never know because Mumbai and Punjab are very close to top four.

Overall the points tally, the nail biting finishes, the packed stadiums, the cheer leaders; everything makes IPL 2013 so interesting to watch. Enjoy IPL live streaming cricket 2013 online and stay update with the scores, news, previews and reviews.

RCB vs Pune Warriors and Kings XI Punjab vs Delhi Daredevils Live Streaming

IPL Live Streaming 2013 Cricket

Couple of nail biting finishes where teams like Kings XI and Chennai Super Kings chased down 180 plus scores. What else can we ask for in cricket? And we all get it in the Indian Premier League 2013. Let us review today's matches Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Pune Warriors India and Kings XI Punjab vs Delhi Daredevils.

RCB vs PWI (1st match)

A tight super over win against Delhi followed by a clinical win against Rajasthan Royals gives Royal Challengers Bangalore another chance to be at the top position of points tally. Chennai Super Kings now rest at the top position of points table but a win here for RCB will again change the scenario.

Royal Challengers Bangalore has won all their five matches at home this year and it is going to be a tough task for Pune Warriors to win here. Apart from that Pune has played three matches so far against Royal Challengers Bangalore and haven't won any! 

RCB is no more over dependent on Gayle as their top scorer has been the skipper Virat Kohli. AB de Villiers is also in good form as so is Gayle. Bowling department has done a good job for RCB. On the other hand Pune Warriors scored a mammoth 180 plus score in their last match against Kings XI just to see themselves on the losing side. The confidence is down for Pune but all they need is a big win to gain the momentum back.

Kings XI Punjab vs DD (2nd match)

Feroz Shah Kotla stadium hosts another match of Delhi as they face neighbouring state's team of Punjab. Last match for Delhi brought them a sigh of relief as they registered a phenomenal victory against Mumbai. A good knock from Rohit Sharma guided Mumbai to a big total. But a spirited batting performance from Sehwag and Jayawardene took Delhi home for their first win this year.

For Kings XI Punjab, the last win against Pune Warriors was an unbelievable clinch! Chasing more than 180 runs, Manpreet Singh and David Miller played the innings of their lives to take Punjab home. With both the teams having registered big wins recently, this match at Feroz Shah Kotla promises to be a tight contest.

David Warner didn't open for Delhi as that was something new for all of us. Probably Jayawardene feels he should play a bit down the order and be a good finisher. Similar such changes could be observed in the Punjab's side too. We have seen teams experimenting a lot with the batting line up and bowling compositions. All these efforts ultimately aim to win and this spirit provides us better and better matches to witness. Enjoy IPL at the optimum!

Chennai Super Kings take on the Rajasthan Royals at home - IPL Live

IPL Live Streaming Online

We saw classic matches this weekend that featured good bowling as well as brave knocks from Ravindra Jadeja, Hussey, Virender Sehwag, Manpreet Singh and David Miller! Time for another tight contest as we see two teams competing against each other that are already placed in top four of IPL points table.


Chennai Super Kings are a hard team to beat in their backyard but we can't write off Rajasthan Royal's capabilities. Above all CSK has won couple of matches at home this year. That gives an added advantage to Rajasthan Royals if they really perform well today.

As far as the overall performance of these two teams is concerned this year, we can say this is a match of equals. Both have played six matches and won four! Chennai is slightly ahead of Rajasthan Royals in terms of net run rate. Whoever wins today seems to be reaching the top spot of the points table because of their better net run rate compared to Bangalore (currently placed at one) and Hyderabad (placed at 2nd position).
Hussey and Jadeja played a key role in CSK's last win against KKR
Chennai lost a match to Pune and that was a shock for MS Dhoni. But the team bounced back pretty hard on Delhi Daredevils and then on Kolkata Knight Riders. Dhoni knows they can't be overconfident as they need to keep this winning momentum alive if they have to reach play-offs.

Same is the case of Rajasthan Royals. After defeating Mumbai by a huge margin, they lost track against Royal Challengers Bangalore and lost the match. Beating Super Kings in Chennai won't be easy but Royals are ready for the challenge.
Rahul Dravid is keen to improve Rajasthan Royals away record this year in IPL
Just like MS Dhoni for CSK, Rahul Dravid plays a vital role for Rajasthan Royals. He alongwith Rahane has produced some match winnings knocks so far. The issue with their batting line up is over dependence on Rahul and Rahane. Someone like Shane Watson needs to click now with a big knock.

Rajasthan Royals would surely give a tough fight to equally strong Chennai Super Kings. But favourable home conditions and a bit high on confidence, Chennai Super Kings look favourites today.

Delhi hosts Mumbai Indians and Kings XI Punjab faces Pune Warriors at home - Live Streaming

Indian Premier League Live Streaming 2013

Welcome to Super Sunday of IPL 2013! Two big matches lined up today featuring fancied teams like Mumbai Indians vs Delhi Daredevils and Pune Warriors vs Kings XI Punjab. Both these matches would be played in the northern part of India. So it could be called as a cricket treat for the whole North India today!

1st match - Mumbai Indians vs Delhi Daredevils

Delhi Daredevils have won nothing so far in IPL 2013 whereas Mumbai has a great opportunity of winning today with a big margin and reach the top four again. In this content of two uneven teams, what is a similarity? These two teams suffered a very big loss in their respective last matches. And they both would be in hunt of a big win to regain the confidence.

Delhi Daredevils have played four matches and lost all of them. They are certainly not out of the contention but they need to win a lot from now onwards. They can't afford to lose anymore. Jayawardene has been trying hard but there is hardly anything that has clicked for him. The body language of the team looked negative when they badly lost against Chennai in their last match. With the likes of Sehwag, Warner, Pathan, etc this team can make any opponent's life hard. But all they need is to click now before its too late.

Mumbai Indians feature world's two greatest batsmen Sachin and Ponting. But they haven't yet treated cricket fans with the performance that they are capable of. On the other hand Dinesh Karthik has impressed everyone with his heroic innings in two matches. Pollard has scored well and so has Rohit Sharma. Mumbai Indians need to tweak their strategy a bit to bring him up the order. Bowling wise the team is doing good.

2nd match - Kings XI Punjab vs Pune Warriors India

This match could be termed as the contest of equals. Both the teams have won two matches each (with Punjab played one match less than Pune). Both are looking for good wins to topple few teams and climb up the points tally. Both the teams are full of talented cricketers who are just striving hard to click on time.

Skipper Gilchrist is getting starts for Punjab but he needs to build on those innings to bigger knocks. Same is the case of David Hussey. Praveen Kumar and Gony have bowled nice spells to keep the opponents in check. Azhar Mahmood is doing pretty well with bowling but he hasn't been upto the mark with his bat.

For Pune, the unavailability of Yuvraj Singh is hurting them the most. The swashbuckling batsman can turn the track of match with his bat as well as slow left armers. Captain Mathews hasn't impressed at all with the strategies he has implemented in the matches. Inclusion of Finch and Steve Smith has helped the team a bit. Uthappa in form can also be a boost to the team.

Hope you all are enjoying this edition of IPL as there is almost 2/3rd of the league still remaining. So lot of exciting matches ahead. Just sit back and enjoy the game.

Kolkata Knight Riders vs Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals vs Royal Challengers Bangalore

KKR vs CSK and RR vs RCB Live Streaming

Time for another Indian Premier League Super Saturday! The Knights take on the Kings at the Eden Gardens and the Royal Challengers will challenge the Royals from Rajasthan. Lovely matches lined up for the day. Let us preview each of them separately.

KKR vs CSK (1st Match today)

The Eden Gardens hosts another IPL match today and this time it would be KKR taking on the Chennai Super Kings. Hope you all remember these two teams clashed in last year's IPL final. Bisla's innings made the difference or else CSK would have been crowned IPL champions for the third consecutive time!

With title defence in a spot and three losses away from home, KKR would be keen to win as many matches as possible at home. KKR has been good at the bowling front but they have struggled a bit in the batting department. Gautam Gambhir has scored consistently well but this isn't the case with his team mates. He needs better support from the other hand.

Similar is the case for CSK. Their main concern is their slow starts. Following their slow starts they can't always capitalise in the death overs while chasing. So they need to accelerate right from the power plays at the start. Michael Hussey is scoring runs for CSK and so is MS Dhoni. Raina doesn't look in his golden touch this time. Overall we have an exciting match on hand as these two heavyweights clash for an IPL match.

RR vs RCB (2nd Match today)

Another match today that promises to be a tight contest after we have seen Rajasthan Royals coming out of the blues and racing upto the top of points tally. Although beating Bangalore at their home is a big ask but we can't write off Rajasthan's capability.

Dravid has led the team from the front scoring runs consistently. His team mate Ajinkya Rahane may not have had big knocks this season but his consistent innings have contributed to team's victories. Rajasthan Royals would absolutely love to have a win here and continue topping the points table.

On the other hand RCB have played four matches at home and won all of them. So they are considered as favourites to win today. But overall a good contest where we would see technically sound Dravid and Rahane taking on RCB bolwers and we will also see the swashbuckling Gayle, Kohli and AB de Villiers taking on RR bowlers like Sreesanth, Cooper and Trivedi. Can Dravid register a win at his native Bangalore or will it be RCB winning one more match at home? We will find the answers today with IPL 2013 live streaming.

Kings XI Punjab faces Sunrisers Hyderabad today

Kings XI Punjab vs Sunrisers Hyderabad Live Streaming

A strong bowling led side Sunrisers Hyderabad locks horn with a very unpredictable Sunrisers Hyderabad. Hyderabad has proved a lot of cricket critics wrong by winning four out of six matches. If they manage to continue this form, they would certainly play the play-offs.

Kings XI Punjab have had mixed fortunes. They started with a victory but lost two matches after that. This was followed by a good victory against defending champs Kolkata Knight Riders. So at this juncture they are riding high on confidence but the only mistake now they can do is to underestimate Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Amit Mishra will play a major role again for Sunrisers Hyderabad
Amit Mishra has been the pick of Hyderabad's bowlers. His biggest achivement is his third hat trick in the IPL. He has made the opposition batsmen dance on  his leg spins and googlies. He has the support of world's best fast bowler Dale Steyn who can trouble swashbuckling batsmen with the variety of his pace and swing. Ishant Sharma has also come in handy at many occassions.

Comparitively Hyderabad's batting is not upto the mark. Good knocks in patches have helped them win matches. Shikhar Dhawan's absence is felt and this overburdens Sangakkara and Cameron White. It is the bowling line up that helps the team defend totals that are below par.
Adam Gilchrist will apply his previous experience of playing at Hyderabad
Gilchrist who leads Punjab was disappointed after two straight losses. But he managed a win against Kolkata and would love to see team continue winning. He has played a lot of matches here in Hyderabad when he used to be a part of Deccan Chargers. His experience here will help the team's performance.

With the likes of cricketers Sangakkara, Steyn, Mishra, Gilchrist, David Hussey and many more to name; all hunting for a win here - this promises to be another enthralling IPL cricket match. Stay tuned!

Delhi searches for their first win against Chennai today

Delhi Daredevils vs Chennai Super Kings Live Streaming

Winless Delhi Daredevils get another opportunity to open their points account as they play Chennai Super Kings at home. And to pull a win against Chennai they really need to pull a rabbit out of their hat considering their current woeful form. The only advantage that Dehli has today is the home support and friendly home conditions.

Delhi seemed to be gaining the winning track when they played well against Royal Challengers Bangalore. They restricted Bangalore superbly somehow to manage a tie. But they lost to Bangalore in the super over. Ultimately another disappointing loss after a spirited performance. That gave them their fifth loss on the trot.
Delhi Daredevils captain Jayawardene aims to win all matches at home
Jayawardene is hopeful for a quick recovery now and reckons atleast all home wins will improve their chances to reach top four. The team needs commanding knocks from swashbuckling Sehwag and Warner. Sehwag's 25 against Bangalore looked good and all he needs to do is convert these starts into big ones. Warner has played well but in patches.

Chennai Super Kings has played four and won two. They are now on sixth position and a big win here against Delhi can bring them on fourth position replacing Mumbai Indians. CSK openers haven't been consistent. Michael Hussey had to sit out as Albie Morkel played against Pune Warriors India. Chennai need to recover from their loss against Pune Warriors.
Chennai skipper Dhoni shocked after the loss against Pune would love to win today against Delhi
Another swashbuckling batsman that featured last year in Chennai's team was Faf du Plesis. Good news for CSK is that he is available for today's match. So let us see what would be the team composition for Chennai Super Kings. Both the captains expect good cricketing display from the team as they need victory!
