The defending champions have peaked at the right time to storm into their third consecutive title clash, and they take on the most consistent side of the season. If both teams live up to their billing it could be fireworks!IPL 5 Season Finale: Chennai Super Kings vs Kolkata Knight Riders
The road they took:Chennai Super Kings:
In a format of upsets and unpredictable thrills, their presence in the league final has been a constant. They haven’t been their dominating self from the last two seasons. Their batsman took time to find their bearings, their best bowlers left on international duty. Ten days ago when Adam Gilchrist was pushing them to the brink, they needed host of results to go their way. Since then the drama has unfolded: Two of the best batsmen this season: Chris Gayle (who ran into a red-hot Dale Steyn) and Ajinkya Rahane failed to take their respective teams to the playoffs when it mattered. Chennai recovered from twin blows to first soak up pressure, before Dhoni and Dwayne Bravo took apart the best death bowler around, Malinga. Mumbai, clearly unnerved, again paid the price for an unsettled batting order. Delhi has sizzled for the most of this season. Their chief architects were an intimidating top order, and the best pace attack of the season. Again, in a crunch game, their thinking was scrambled. Irfan Pathan’s injury should have just needed a bowling replacement. Instead they left out purple-cap holder Morne Morkel. CSK didn’t need a 2nd invitation to slam the barn door down.Kolkata Knight Riders:
The road to redemption which started with a tough, but sensible decision of dropping Ganguly is nearly complete. In two seasons under the no-nonsense leadership of Gambhir, and some bargain buys – KKR has turned around their form and record, won back fans, and stayed away from controversies. They’ve played the least number of matches among the top four. Their consistency with the ball, especially in a format dominated by bat deservedly led them to the finals: On a slightly shaky ground after losing couple of matches in the last week of league stage, they dismissed Pune Warriors (Ganguly and all) to book their playoff spot. Up next against table-toppers Delhi, they showed chilling efficiency in casting them aside in a chanceless performance. In the process Kallis’s straight drive which hurt Irfan probably dealt a telling blow to Delhi’s chance as well.Advantages:
CSK:
The core of the side has been settled across the seasons – mostly retained at auctions. It speaks of clarity of thinking and instills faith in the players. Their batting runs deep. Vijay’s ton means, each of their batsmen have found crucial form ahead of the big match. Hussey at top, and Dhoni lower down can adapt to soak up pressure or attack as needed. Raina, duPlessis, Jadeja, Bravo and Morkel provide enviable firepower. The champion’s mettle. They needed to bring their A-game for three games on trot to make it a hat-trick of trophies; they’ve done it twice. They’re no strangers to finals, and they’re playing at home. If that sounds like ‘unstoppable’ it probably is!KKR:
In the last eleven matches, they’ve lost only twice. Their consistency is a rare commodity in this format. Their bowling attack might not have the pace of Morkel or Steyn, death bowling of Malinga, or guile of Murali – but they’ve got the best all-round bowling attack. Lee, Kallis, and Balaji can swing it at pace. Bhatia’s offcutters have made it tough all season. And they’ve got plenty of high quality spin options: Shakib, Iqbal Abdulla, Yusuf and of course, Sunil Narine! Their benchwarmers – tenDoeschate, Shukla or Marchant deLange ain’t too shabby either. With minimal fuss, their batting has got the job done. On rare occasions when the consistent Gambhir has failed, Kallis has done what Hussey does for CSK. McCullum hasn’t been his destructive self, but has hung in there to find form. Tiwary, Shukla have been efficient. Crucially, Yusuf Pathan regained some of his game-breaking touch in the last game.Head-to-Head: 1-1
Both sides won their away games, though Chennai had to sweat over it more until Bravo’s last ball six. Kolkata has won eight of their nine away games of the season – if Chennai is low and slow, it might play straight into their hands. At their best, Kolkata's bowling can defend even a modest 140. At their best, even 220 might not be safe against Chennai's batting!Battles to watch out for:
CSK middle order vs Sunil Narine: Dhoni, Bravo and Morkel have demolished the best of them at death. Sunil Narine has conceded only six sixes in the entire tournament (one of them a catch dropped at boundary) and never more than one in a spell. Who’ll trump? Kolkata would certainly enter the Chepauk cauldron as underdogs, given Chennai’s intimidating record and form. However, they’ve done it once this season. Can they do it against seasoned campaigners on their home turf and in their first ever final? If they do, Dhoni’s midas touch might be well and truly over.Saturday, 26 May 2012

Play Off - IPL 5 2012 - Qualifier 2 - DD Vs CSK
Wounded Delhi Daredevils would be keen to draw insight from
their own performances in the league stages for a spot in the final of the
ongoing Indian Premier League when they take on a recharged Chennai Super Kings
in the second qualifying match on Friday.
Having topped the table with 11 wins out of 16 matches at the league stage, the Daredevils were humbled by Kolkata Knight Riders in the first qualifier in Pune on Tuesday(22/05/2012).
The high-flying Daredevils failed to live up to their potential with a string of mediocre performances in their previous game against KKR and on Friday is their last chance to redeem their reputation of being the most reliable side of the IPL 5 so far.
On the other hand, defending champions Chennai, despite their ordinary performances in the league stages, peaked just at the right time. They recovered from an unattainable situation to keep alive their chances of winning a hat-trick titles alive.
With skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who smashed a whirlwind 20-ball 51 against Mumbai Indians last night to help his team make the second qualifier, returning to form in style, the Daredevils might have to bring in some fresh game plan to arrest the prowling Chennai outfit.
While Chennai would be hoping for a similar performance, in what could be considered as a semifinal against the Daredevils on Friday, Virender Sehwag's men would be relying a lot on their batting.
The Delhi side would be depending on their strong batting lineup, consisting of the likes of Sehwag, David Warner, Mahela Jayawardana, Ross Taylor and Naman Ojha, to post a difficult total on the board, their bowling department heavily relies on pace trio of Morne Morkel, Umesh Yadav and Irfan Pathan.
But today, Delhi would certainly have to be cautious against a team that had, in past, regrouped into a cohesive team during critical situation.
The Super Kings, who bring out their best when they are pushed to the wall, are expected to come hard at the Daredevils.
Although as compared to the Daredevils, the Super Kings were far from impressive during the league stages with eight wins and a no result from 16 games, there collective performance has been good in the tournament so far.
The batting looks good with Michael Hussey, Dhoni, S Badrinath, Suresh Raina and Murali Vijay making it a formidable lineup.
With Hussey and Ben Hilfenhaus having contributed extensively with the bat and ball in last seven matches or so, Chennai would hope them to repeat the show today at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chepauk.
Chennai's spin department will be lead by Ravichandran Ashwin in the company of Shahdab Jakati and Ravindra Jadeja. Ashwin and Jadeja have been among wickets, while Albie Morkel, Hilfenhaus and Dwayne Bravo also contributed to the team's success. In all counts, these five bowlers have the ability to wreck any strong combination and dislodge the middle order.
Going by the variety in their bowling and presence of all-rounders -- Bravo, Jadeja and Morkel -- in the team, the Super Kings, if they click in unison, could be unstoppable.
The Super Kings will also take heart from the fact that in the history of the championship so far, they have never been the table toppers but always made it to the top four before bagging the title twice in four seasons.
With both the teams filled with power performers, the spectators can expect a keen battle today.
Chennai Super Kings: Mahendra Singh Dhoni (c and wk), Michael Hussey, Murali Vijay, Suresh Raina, Ravindra Jadeja, Srikkanth Anirudha, DWayne Bravo, Albie Morkel, Ravichandran Ashwin, Ben Hilfenhaus, Shadab Jakati, Doug Bollinger, Francois du Plessis, George Bailey, Scott Styris, Suraj Randiv, Abhinav Mukund, G Vignesh, Joginder Sharma, Kuthethur Vasudevadas, Subramaniam Badrinath, Sudeep Tyagi, Yo Mahesh and Wriddhiman Saha.
