HYD vs CHN, 42nd match

Today's double header includes the big clash between Bangalore and Kolkata. But for now, let us shift our attention towards the face off between the Deccan Chargers and the Chennai Super Kings at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur. I welcome one and all to the live coverage of the same. All four teams featuring in today's double header are fighting their way out to make it to the semi-finals and thus we have two exciting contests coming our way. Don't be surprised to see some major changes in the points table by the end of today. This is Ajith bringing you all the action along with my colleagues Mayank, Shashank and Srivathsa. Stay tuned for the toss and other updates.

This is the time where the IPL gets interesting. There's a five way fight for two semi-final spots between the Rajasthan Royals, Royal Challengers Bangalore, Chennai Super Kings, Kolkata Knight Riders and Deccan Chargers, with Mumbai and Delhi already in a comfort zone of sorts. The first match of the day sees two of those teams tussle, with Chennai the favourites to beat the Chargers who have struggled with inconsistency throughout the tournament.
