As the Indian Premier League mechanism up for the semifinal phase the last only some matches have been strong with three teams hostility for two semifianl spots. Here’s what worked in favour of Delhi and Chennai - and why Mumbai got the boot.Chennai beat Hyderabad by 7 wickets in a do-or-die match, and reached the semi-finals with a victory in the previous league encounter. It was a now or never for Chennai; They had no option but to beat the Deccan Chargers in their last group diversion to proceed to the last four, and it was task accomplished for MS Dhoni’s boys. They succesfully chase down Hyderabad’s paltry 147 behind Adam Gilchrist win the toss and elected to bat - but more highly, they are through to the semi-final nudging out Mumbai.With this win over Deccan Chargers, Chennai are on 16 points and get back their third slot on the points tally. …Delhi are fourth on 15 points while Mumbai, which was in the reckoning for a semi-final slot is now out of controversy. Mumbai, however, has a match in hand but the maximum it can garner is 14 points - which leaves it behind Chennai and Delhi.
Chennai’s win also wrecked the tension over the semi-finalists as it done the last four line-up. Rajasthan Royals and Kings XI Punjab had by now sealed their place with true to life results. Delhi manage to sneak in and make sure its place as Viru’s side set aside its nerve while Chennai and Mumbai failed to win their matches at crucial junctures.Meanwhile, for Mumbai it was complete displeasure - after four successive losses, they bounced back with 6 consecutive wins, but choked when it matter the most. And Sachin Tendulkar’s side won’t be pleased to be in a state of affairs where they can also end up no better than 6th on the points tally. At least a win in the last match next to Royal Challengers will save some arrogance for them.
