Two team who got banned for 2 yrs CSK and RR are in playoffs , so you can see the power of fixing in all IPL series.
I am sure there is some form of fixed matches being going on in this extravaganza but i do not think that these two banned teams are in the playoffs simply because of fixing, they just performed just enough to reach this situation and CSK is always a power house and under the leadership of Dhoni they are just performing as usual so it is not that stunning that they are in this playoff and they might even win the entire tournament after the ban.
Many of these IPL matches are fixed but that doesn't mean that all players are involved. It is quite hard to find out which match is fixed and which one is not fixed so better avoid betting on these matches.
Today is the first qualifier match between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Chennai Super Kings in Mumbai. I think Hyderabad team may give surprise to Dhoni's team because they got the best bowlers to defend any small target but Dhoni team is good at chasing down a big target. let's see who will outperform in today's match.
