Tuesday Double header..
Tuesday, 23rd April 2013 (4pm IST)
IPL 6 – Match 31: Royal Challengers Bangalore Vs Pune Warriors India
Royal Challengers Bangalore
RCB will need to work harder on their opening partnership and remove unnecessary anxieties which may hamper their flow of runs. Their bowling will be good, but their fielding will not be up to mark, which they will step up towards the end.
The Captain – Virat Kohli
Trying to do too much will just confuse and pressurise Virat’s captaincy. He needs to stop trying too hard, otherwise their will be evident weaknesses in captaincy.
Pune Warriors India
A good start, but the right plans are just not in place, hence this start will not be maintained. Batsmen need to be more realistic and simple with their shot selection.
The Captain – Aaron Finch
He will bring good balance to the team, but he will be left with too much to do and will not be able to carry the team through.
Tarot Advantage:
Royal Challengers Bangalore

IPL 6 – Match 32: Delhi Daredevils Vs Kings XI Punjab
Delhi Daredevils
Aggression and positivity will be quite obvious in Delhi today. It’s towards the end that they look most nervous that they will confuse their ideas. They will have to maintain their initial thought processes to be successful. Initial batting will be harder work that what they would expect.
The Captain – Mahela Jayawardene
Risk taking and instinctive will be Mahela’s plus points. Again, he too will need to keep himself steady throughout and retain belief in original ideas.
Kings XI Punjab
It’s not going to be the most ideal start. It’s advised that a change in overseas player be paid to iron out current repetitive issues. Both, batting and bowling will initially be too cautious. Fielding will need to improve towards the end.
The Captain – Adam Gilchrist
More confidence needs to be generated by Gilchrist for himself and his team. Current plans will need to be re-worked if success if to be seen.
Tarot Advantage:
Delhi Daredevils

Some tight finishes ahead?
Tuesday, 16th April 2013 (4pm IST)
IPL 6 – Match 20: Kings XI Punjab Vs Kolkata Knight Riders
Kings XI Punjab
Overall, the Kings XI will start off well with their batting, bowling and fielding – but it’s the middle portion of their game play where they will look weakest and may succumb to the opposition. They should recover well.
The Captain – Adam Gilchrist
Gilchrist will do his best to bring the team together, and will manoeuvre his resources well – but he will be disappointed with individual performances. A tough day ahead.
Kolkata Knight Riders
Focus and planning will need to improve – and it will, but this game will reveal the team’s flaws. They will need to make sure they maintain their fielding standards and be weary of complacency.
The Captain – Gautam Gambhir
Simplicity will be the motto for Gambhir today. He will keep the team moving forward and will be able to steady the situations well.
Tarot Advantage:
Kolkata Knight Riders

Royal Challengers Bangalore
RCB will look very enthusiastic and will put in additional efforts to win this game. They fear losing and therefore may over compensate in their bowling efforts.

Kohli will need to be careful of not confusing his ideas. Clarity will be key, especially as his captaincy will have a positive start today.
Delhi Daredevils
The Daredevils are going to work hard in this game. They will be careful, yet move forward with confidence. Their bowling will show its weaknesses towards the end – which is expected in such a format. Overall a far more confident performance.

Tarot Advantage:
Delhi Daredevils

IPL 6 – Match 15: Mumbai Indians Vs Pune Warriors India
Mumbai Indians
It’s a mixed day for the Mumbai Indians – they will have a weak start and will be apprehensive of sticking to their game plans. This anxiety will soon subside through risks that will pay off well. They will initially do well on the field, but will have to be watchful towards the end as they will spill additional runs.
The Captain – Ricky Ponting
Ponting looks confident and encouraging. His balance and poise will rub off on the team resulting in good bowling and batting combinations.
Pune Warriors India
Their first win of the tournament has brought in a lot of positivity – this will be reflected in their game play today too. Their balance will look better and so will their confidence, but this will be short-lived. They will be unsure of what strategy to adopt and will lose their way.
The Captain – Angelo Mathews
Mathews will start off well, but he will lose confidence in his ideas – he will need to retain his confidence if he’s to instil any faith in his players. He will need to be more pro-active if he is to see his team succeed.
Tarot Advantage:
Mumbai Indians

Saturday, 13th April 2013 (8pm IST)
IPL 6 – Match 16: Chennai Super Kings Vs Royals Challengers Bangalore
Chennai Super Kings
Super Kings will have a cautious start, yet they shouldn’t be as the opposition will pick up on this and will capitalise. They will need to be more confident of their plans as their lack of conviction could get them into trouble.
The Captain – Mahendra Singh Dhoni
Too much will depend on Dhoni’s strategies and his quick changes. He will keep the team together and will see that his ideas are being implemented correctly – but certainly a tough task as his team may struggle.
Royals Challengers Bangalore
Weaknesses will also be evident in Bangalore, but they will be quicker to realise this and will change to show better balance. They will need to be careful of not giving away too many runs with their bowling – this will happen because they will be anxious of the opposition’s batsmen.
The Captain – Virat Kohli
Kohli’s captaincy will be instinctive and intelligent. He will need to keep this up right to the end especially as he is displaying some weaknesses towards the latter half of second innings.
Tarot Advantage:
Royal Challengers Bangalore
