Holysmoke Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 No it's not. If MI beat RR + KKR and CSK beat RCB. then MI will play CSK in the semis.

Its not semis anymore...its playoff :bow: & thats a big IF for MI....the way the have collapsed in the last 2 games...hoping they put a good match atleast at full house Eden
urbestfriend Posted May 20, 2011 Posted May 20, 2011 No doubt MI and CSk matches are always last so that they are fully aware of what needs to be done to reach Semi/playoff. And also playoffs are in Mumbai and Chennai, even though pitches there are crap, so that they'll get home advantage.

Srinivasan has even tampered with the auctions and pitches to get what he wanted. That said, CSK can win even without his shameless tricks. And regarding the venues for playoffs, it's because they were the finalists in the last IPL. No tampering with it
