Now when all the semifinalists are confirmed, it is still very tough to say which team is more threatening at this moment. The tournament so far has not been so good for the IPL teams as only Delhi Daredevils(DD) could manage to qualify for the semis. Other IPL teams never looked to be in contention for a place in semis. To add salt to their wounds a few matches got washed away by rain. So nothing worked in their favour. Daredevils won two matches and two matches were washed away by rain.
I was never convinced by the planning of this CLT20 tournament. The sole reason being it is the time when rain can make a visit any time in South Africa. Rain has contributed a lot to the team standings(points) after the league matches. Daredevils are looking strong from their group but they didn't play Titans and Auckland Aces which I will consider good teams. So I think Delhi team still have a point to prove in the semis.
Chennai and Kolkata were bad too. But they played well towards the end of the their respective league matches. But Mumbai Indians(MI) would like to forget this tournament, I suppose. It sounds like a bollywood movie story that reigning champions were not even champion of a single match this time. They would have never imagined that this can be outcome for them.
Well thanks to DD team, hopes are still alive that an Indian team can lift the CLT20 trophy. Coming matches are going to be tougher for them. Sydney Sixers need a special mention, if they meet. Hope for the best.
