Lights, Action and Upsets in African IPL Openers


Cape Town: The Indian Premier League started on foreign soil with an explosion of entertainment and two cricket upsets at Newlands Saturday.

A sell-out crowd - although there were gaps in the IPL hospitality area - saw both last year's finalists defeated at the start of the five-week tournament moved from India because of security concerns.

Knight Riders Performed Against Shah Rukh's Hope


Cape Town: Their owner may have been the most visible presence in the pre-tournament build-up, but the Kolkata Knight Riders will seek to show they are capable of playing good cricket when they open their Indian Premier League campaign against the Deccan Chargers at Newlands on Sunday.

The Delhi Daredevils meet the Kings XI Punjab in the early match of the second double-header at the ground in which all eight teams were due to be in action over the first two days of the five-week tournament in South Africa.

Knight Riders owner, film star Shah Rukh Khan, admitted that his team didn't perform as well as he hoped in finishing sixth out of eight last year, although he said they were the "coolest-looking" outfit.

Interesting Bettle Between Punjab and Dehli

Two of India's biggest hitters of the cricket ball are on opposite sides as Dehli Daredevils ake on Kings XI Punjab in the Indian Premier League on Sunday. Punjab Most exciting players Yuvi and Veru will play their part in African Twenty20 IPL against Dehli. Both the Players have the ability to play the role in the final victory of their team.

The Daredevils, the pundits' favourites, boast of a balanced side with in-form batsmen and experienced bowlers in their ranks though the result can go either way as both the sides will be rusty in their first matches at Newlands.

Dravid, Kumble Match Winning Contribution.

Cape Town: Last Time Captain of Bangalore Royal Challengers Dravid played a superb innings against Rajasthan Royal the champions of the Last year IPL Played in India. Second IPL has started in Africa. New Captain of Bangalore Royal Challengers K.P after winning the Toss decided to bat First against RR. R Dravid Played a responsible inning and helped his team score 134 Runs against Rajasthan Royals.

In the Bowling session of Bangalore Royal Challengers A Kumble once again proved his class by taking Five (5) Wickets of RR in 3.1 overs. African pitches are also playing a role in winning and result of matches. African IPL will be less entertainer than the Indian one because of weather conditions and pitches.

Australia Again Become No 2.

In the Last Match Africa Aussies won the match and Remained on Position two In ICC Ranking. Africa already named the series by winning three continous matches. With the defeat of Australia India was spoted on position two in ICC ranking. Africa has gained the match winning combination. South African have the ability to win against any Internation cricket match against any other team with this combination.
African this winnig spirit must be continues till 2011 Cricket wrold Cup. According to the ICC officials World Cup can be shifted from Asia. Africa could be the Host of that entertaining event and have chance to win at home grounds. On the other hand Australians are well behind the Africans.

Is It Possible............???????

Lahore: Pakistan Captain said" Pakistan will beat Australia 5 - 0 in the up coming serise" He admitted that Pakistan has not played much international cricket in recent times, and it could affect its performance in the series. I personally think on what grounds he has made such a strong statement. No doubt man should be optimistic. But he should also be realistic.


Shoaib is also duty bound to play for the country and the team and not for himself. I feel no difference between Shoaib Akhtar and upcoming Ahmad Shahzad as far as performance of a player is concerned," he added.

As the Sri Lankan team has Performed well in the recent Cricket matches and series so the Sri Lankan Board has decided to increase the Payments of Players.


It has been also reported that the ranks of two players also upgraded. The players will be more motivated and Score well in the future Matches.
