IPL 6 – Eliminator - Match 74: Rajasthan Royals Vs Sunrisers Hyderabad

Rajasthan Royals
Well planned and steady – but just a little too steady. They will need to be more pro-active and not delay to such an extent that they appear complacent. Despite getting themselves in a strong position, the Royals may have to rush themselves towards the end – hence batting and initial bowling will need to step up.

The Captain – Rahul Dravid
Adaptability and confidence will be found in Dravid's captaincy, but it's his mind that will be unsettled. Everything will be going well; everything will be in place, yet he will begin to lose his belief. It will be very important for him to retain this and continue with the same consistency throughout the game.

Sunrisers Hyderabad
The Sunrisers will have to be more aggressive. They will be well balanced but their bowling and middle over batting will be too soft. Their confident fielding could be their saving grace.

The Captain – Cameron White
Despite having some unrealistic ideas, White will work immensely hard and look to improve the balance of the team. He will just need to maintain this consistency of thought in order to retain his team's control over the game.

Tarot Advantage:
Both teams are immensely nervous and both will make some basic errors, it's the Sunrisers Hyderabad that have a stronger mind set and it will be this ability to handle pressure that gives them an edge. Tarot Advantage: Sunrisers Hyderabad

IPL 6 – Qualifier 1 - Match 73: Chennai Super Kings Vs Mumbai Indians

Chennai Super Kings
Confidence, ability to change the situation and remaining balanced – it will appear as if CSK have all the ingredients to get them into the finals, but there will be some hitches along the way. Bowling and fielding will both be inconsistent hence proving to be a huge disappointment for the team's cause.

The Captain – Mahendra Singh Dhoni
Well organised and leading from the front, Dhoni will find himself losing confidence towards the middle of the game. He will begin to confuse his plans and will be unsure of what to implement. An inspiring moment will see him regain his direction.

Mumbai Indians
Although softer cards have appeared for MI, they will certainly not be complacent – instead their plans will manipulate the opposition well. Their homework will prove to be highly beneficial, but most of their problems will be their own doing. They will lose focus in all three areas of batting, bowling and fielding – their untidiness will make them unstable.

The Captain – Rohit Sharma
Clinical and balanced captaincy will be Sharma's strong point – but the problem will be a lack of instinctive decision making. Being too reliant on outside guidance and sticking to pre-decided plans may make his captaincy too rigid.

Tarot Advantage:
It will prove to be an interesting game where both teams will show similar troubles. There have been some exemplary cards and some terrible ones too, hence it will be a game that will closely be fought. The winner of this game will be the one that will be more imaginative, which Mahendra Singh Dhoni is showing better traits of, therefore.. Tarot Advantage: Chennai Super Kings

IPL 6 - Match 55: Kings XI Punjab Vs Rajasthan Royals

Kings XI Punjab
The Kings XI will play an instinctive game. Despite showing weaknesses with their batting; their bowling and fielding will step up to a level better than the previous game. They will need to be weary of feeling negative all too soon.

The Captain – David Hussey
There is nervousness in his captaincy, but this can easily be dealt with through more focussed aggression – by targeting key players better. This will get Hussey back on top with his decision making.

Rajasthan Royals
The Royals feel confident and on top of their game, but they will be realistic – they understand the importance of not letting go of their opportunities. There will be batting weaknesses, and some patchy bowling. Their biggest strength will be their fielding.

The Captain – Rahul Dravid
Dravid will need to be careful of not pushing himself – everything will seem like such an effort today. Despite being inwardly balanced, he will find it difficult to create the same balance amongst implementing his ideas.

Tarot Advantage:
Kings XI Punjab

IPL 6 - Match 56: Pune Warriors India Vs Kolkata Knight Riders India

Pune Warriors India
Yes disappointment does plague the team, but despite this, they're ready to go out there, take risks and give their best. There will be some general batting weaknesses, but nothing that they shouldn't be able to take care of.

The Captain – Aaron Finch
Appearing a little frustrated, Finch will attack stronger and look to be on top of his decision making.

Kolkata Knight Riders
KKR will need to eliminate their fears and play with more freedom. Their team will be better balanced, but their self-belief will be lower than expected. They will certainly make this into a strong fight through some positive individual performances.

The Captain – Gautam Gambhir
Plans will need to be more realistic and aggression will need to be better channelised. A mixed day for Gambhir and his team.

Tarot Advantage:
Pune Warriors India
