No thread for this year..??

Csk Vs Gujarat 1st up...24-1 csk in the 4th...

I'll start one

the first of 872 matches is underway

some changes this year.... Maxwell will only have to play half a game if they use him as an impact player

teams named after the toss, so capts can change their side if they want

think there's some talk about reviews for wides and no balls, but I'm less certain about that

feels odd that SL and NZ are involved in a T20 series that concludes after the IPL was scheduled to start. That may have been down to the IPL, because it seemed to take a while to get a start date for the comp

didn't take long for hopalong Kane to hop off injured

Gujarat off to a winning start.

Mayers had a good debut.

well, Woody comes on to bowl with the Delhi openers set and is on a hat trick in his first over. Shaw and Marsh both clean bowled

Sarfaraz survives

Mark takes all 3wickets to so far and all of them were in form. Prithvi, M Marsh and Sarfaraz are all back in pavilion.

When Anrich Nortje comes back from international duty. His availability will certainly add another high speed bowler. Avesh seems to have dropped pace and is bowling mostly below 135 kph now, but he has troubled the batsman even with that pace inspite of injury to bowling hand. Will be interesting to see if he plays next match or not.

Delhi chase took a bit of a hit there, but they're trying to fight back while Woody doesn't have the ball. losing 3 for 3 in 2 overs is tough to recover from when chasing the thick end of 200

Rilee out for 30. DC 86/4.

DC need 101 in 43 balls. Very tough to win from here.

50 for Warner. Sr of just 106 but with wickets falling at opposite end he did not have much options to score fast.

2 wickets for Avesh in his 3rd over. DC struggling at 113/7.

Should look to see that run rate does not takes a lot of beating.
