The 70th match of the Indian Premier League will see the Pune Warriors and the Kolkata Knight Riders take on each other in a tussle that decides the fate of none. This game will take place at the Subrata Roy Sahara Stadium on the 19th of My at 2000 IST.
 
The fates of both the teams are already sealed with Kolkata Knight Riders already in the playoffs and Pune Warriors are at the bottom of the table.
 
The players to pick from the Kolkata Knight Riders are Gautam Gambhir, Sunil Narine and Brendon McCullum.
 
Gautam Gambhir (CF$18.67) is a good batsman and is in top notch form. He has been hitting the ball well and in this season alone he has scored 546 at an average 45. He has hammered 60 fours and 15 sixes. He will be a good addition to your portfolio.
 
Sunil Narine (CF$29.8) is the highest wicket taker in this Indian Premier League season. He has 21 scalps at a very low economy rate of 5.25. A must pick for your team.
 
Brendon McCullum (CF418.73) has had a mixed tournament. But when he starts striking the ball he can really get the ante up. He is also their wicket-keeper so you can expect a couple of catches and stump-pings.
 
Pune Warriors India are a team that are done and dusted this season. They had a good start but they were unable to capitalize on it. The players to pick for your portfolio from their team are Steven Smith and Robin Uthappa.
 
Steven Smith has been their one sensation that is playing well and is able to adapt to whatever role that then team needs him to play. He is a wonderful batsman who is usually considered as their finisher and an outstanding fielder as well. He should be present in your team for this fixture.
 
Robin Uthappa has been another one player who has been shinning for the Pune Warriors. He is the 11th highest run scorer this season with a total of 397 runs and has smashed 10 sixes and 37 fours.
 
So from this game I suggest you to pick Gautam Gambhir, Sunil Narine. Brendon McCullum, Steven Smith and Robin Uthappa.

The 68th game on the Indian Premier League will see the Deccan Charger and the Rajasthan Royals take on each other at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.

The Deccan Chargers are the last placed team this season and unfortunately they seem like they will stay there. The players have won just 2 of their 14 game played with one game rained out. Rajasthan Royals on the other hand have to win this game if they want to keep their hopes of making the top four alive.

The players to choose from the Deccan Chargers side are Kumar Sangakarra, Shikhar Dhawan and Dale Steyn.

Sangakkara (CF$21.44) is a wonderful batsman and an outstanding fielder. He has not quite made it big this season but neither has his team.  He has the capability to swing the game into his sides favour but unfortunately his side always ends up on the losing side this season. It is interesting to see whether he makes it to the playing 11 this game and if he does, he could look to get back his lost form.

Shikhar Dhawan (CF$19.23) is in great nick and in fact makes is one of the finds of the tournament. He is the 4th highest run scorer with 538 runs at an average of 44. He has 5 runs in excess of 50 and will b a great addition to you portfolio.

Dale Styen is one of the fastest bowlers I the tournament and has the capability to restrict the batsmen as well as pick up wickets. He is the 12th highest wicket taker with 13 wickets to his name.

A win for the Rajasthan Royals will see them climb up a spot as they have a very healthy run rate.

The players to have from their side are Ajiknya Rahane, Rahul Dravid and Shane Watson.

Rahane and Dravid are the opening batsmen for the Royals. Rahane has 541 runs at an average of 45 to his name while Dravid has scored 418 runs at an average of 29. They have done a decent job this tournament for their team.

Shane Watson (CF$27.43) is an all-rounder who has the capability to change the game within a few overs with either the ball or the bat. He usually is their first change with the ball and also bats one down.

He arrived late for the tournament and since his arrival has scored 197 runs at an average of 49 and picked up 6 wickets. These are his stats for 5 games that he has played.

So from this game I would suggest to you to pick Shikhar Dhawan, Dale Steyn, Ajiknya Rahane and Shane Watson.

Match 67 of the Indian Premier League will see the Delhi Daredevils take on the Royal Challengers Bangalore on the 17th of May at 2000 IST at the Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium at Delhi.

This game is very, very important for the Royal Challengers Bangalore as they have to win this game to secure a spot in the playoffs. TheDelhi Daredevils have already secured a spot in the playoffs and a victory here will assure them of top spot.

The players to have from the Delhi Daredevils in your portfolio are Virender Sehwag, David Warner and Morne Morkel.

Virender Sehwag (C$24.4) and David Warner are one of the most explosive opening pairs the game has ever seen. Sehwag is the 5th highest run scorer this season with 484 runs at an average of 37 in his 14 innings played so far. He can be used as a bowler but prefers to stay away from that role.

Warner is also an fiery batsman with a total of 152 runs at an average of 50 from his 4 innings played so far. He is capable of changing the game within the matter of a couple of overs and we have already seen that with the century that he smashed earlier this season.

Morne Morkel (CF$22.5) has also been right on the money with 21 wickets in the 14 games he has featured in. He is also the 3rd highest wicket taker this season.

From the Royal Challengers Bangalore team I would suggest to you to pick up Chris Gayle and AB De Villiers.

These two players have the chance to take their team of to the playoffs with a victory in this game.

Chris Gayle (CF$22.48) is also a very hard hitting batsman and he is also the leading run scorer this season with 578 runs from 13 innings at an average of 57. When he is at the crease do not forget to wear helmets wherever you are as he has smashed 44 sixes this season alone.

AB de Villiers ends up most of the time being the Royal Challengers Bangalore finisher. He most of the times ends up finishing the run chase or finishing the first innings. He is also their wicket keeper so you can expect a catch or two from him as well as a stumpings if there is an opportunity.

I believe that Delhi goes into this game as favorites and hence an extra player from their team compared to Bangalore.

So according to me, from this game pick up Virender Sehwag, David Warner, Morne Morkel, Chris Gayle and AB De Villiers.

The 65th game of the Indian Premier League will see the Mumbai Indians take on the Kolkata Knight Riders at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on 16th May at 2000 IST.

This is a very important game for both the teams as the winner of the game will secure a spot in the top four and a chance to play in the playoffs. Currently Mumbai Indians are 2nd in the table with 18 points and Kolkata Knight Riders are behind them in 3rd with 17 points. The reverse fixture saw the Mumbai Indians defeating the Kolkata Knight Riders quite comfortably.

The players to pick for your portfolio from the Mumbai Indians side would be Rohit Sharma, Kieron Pollard and Ambati Rayudu.

Rohit Sharma (CF$20.36) scored a blistering century against these very opponents just a few days back. He has scored 407 runs in this tournament at an average of 33. He is also a fine fielder, so he would not be a bad pick.

Kieron Pollard (CF$25.42) has regained so form as he showed in the previous game scoring a quick-fire 50 to help his team overcome the Royal Challengers Bangalore. He is also a hand player with the ball and should definitely be in your portfolio.

Ambati Rayudu (CF$16.38), this little player is in great nick and has been so for quite some time. He has scored 311 runs at an average of 44 this season. He is rather lively in the field as well.

From the Kolkata Knight Riders you should Gautam Gambhir, Jacques Kallis and Sunil Narine.

Gautam Gambhir and Jacques Kallis (CF$20.4) have scored 519 and 297 runs respectively, at averages of 47 and 24 correspondingly. These two batsmen both stick it out at the crease and ensure that their team does not lose quick wickets.

Gambhir has a point to prove in this game as he got out for a golden duck in the reverse fixture.

Sunil Nairne, what a find for the Kolkata Knight Riders he has been. He has picked up 17 wickets with a low economy rate of 5.29. He is the 3rd highest wicket taker and also has the lowest economy rate.

So from this game you should have Rohit Sharma, Kieron Pollard, Ambati Rayudu, Gautam Gambhir, Jacques Kallis and Sunil Narine.

The 64th match of the Indian Premier League will see the Delhi Daredevils play the Kings XI Punjab. This game will be played at the Feroz Shah Kotla stadium on the 15th of May at 2000 IST.

As we enter the business end of the Indian Premier League one victory or loss can make a difference and change the fate of a team. Similarly, the Kings XI Punjab will need to win this game to stay in contention for a top 4 spot this season. A victory for the Delhi Daredevils will certainly book a spot for them in the top four.

Delhi is currently at the top of the table with 18 points from 13 games and a victory will keep them atop with a 2 point cushion. The players to choose from the ‘Red Army’ are Virender Sehwag, David Warner and Morne Morkel.

Sehwag and Warner are arguably the most destructive opening pair. Sehwag is the 6th highest run scorer with 476 runs in 13 games at an average of 39. If he gets going then please ensure you take cover wherever in the world you are.

Warner has announced his arrival with a blistering century already this season. Three innings have seen him score 138 runs with an average of 69. If he starts hitting the ball well then you can be assured that Delhi will put up a score close to or over 200.

Morne Morkel is the highest wicket taker this season with 21wickets in 13 games. He is their frontline bowler who starts and end the innings. You can expect him to pick up a couple of wickets in this game as well.

From the men from Kings XI Punjab, I would recommend you to pick up David Hussey, Shaun Marsh and Mandeep Singh.

Mandeep Singh is an all-rounder who, with the bat he has scored 387 runs at an average of 29 and with the ball he has picked up 1 wicket. He should be an ideal pick for your portfolio.

David Hussey has been in decent form for his team. He has scored 344 runs this tournament and is the 13th highest run scorer at an average of 34. He is also a good fielder and picks up most of the catches that come his way. He can be used as a bowler as well and has 3 wickets to his name. He is also a terrific fielder who has turned the tournament around for the side ever since he took over the captaincy of the side.

Shaun Marsh is a blistering batsman who hasn’t quite found his feet this tournament. This is the perfect time for his to get going. He is the 15th highest run scorer this tournament with a total of 323 runs in 12 innings.

So from this game I would suggest all of you to pick Virender Sehwag, David Warner, Morne Morkel, David Hussey, Shaun Marsh and Mandeep Singh. Delhi enters this game as favourites.
