Sportsnet World’s coverage of #IPL2014 continues with the IPL playoffs running Wednesday – Sunday, LIVE and in stunning HD.
In Qualifier 1, #KXIP have been the class of the tournament behind the expert leadership of Bailey and herculean batting efforts from Maxwell & Miller, however, their in-form opponents #KKR may go in as slight favourites after a meteoric rise to grab 2nd spot in the table. In the Eliminator, we see familiar foes as the perennial challengers, #CSK will lock horns with improbable qualifiers #MI who started their campaign at 0-4 and knocked off #RR in their final league match with a historic and near unbelievable run chase. As usual the tournament has been long, but not without its share of entertainment. Plenty of fireworks left in the tank as the quest to crown a 7th champion draws to a close.
