First Semifinal :

Rajasthan Royals Vs Delhi Daredevils :

This Match was blown away by Rajasthan Royals in both the aspects of the game.. be it bowling or batting

Rajasthan did not find any new match-winners at all. it is the same batsman who batted and the same bowlers who bowled well..

Batsmen being Smith, Asnodkar, Pathan and Watson
Bowlers being Tanvir, Watson, Warne and Munaf.

Delhi just couldnt handle the pressure of chasing the 200 score and when their awesome trio left , the game was as Much as over

Second Semifinal

Chennai Superkings Vs Kings XI Punjab

This Match was just over after an hour it started.
Chennai being the underdogs just rattled the best batting team in the IPL.
Shaun Marsh just couldnt handle Gony and Ntini. and none of the other batsman as well.

The batting of Chennai eventhough it was a bit weak finished the match with Parthiv and Raina half centuries. Raina's Awesome form continued

The Final

Rajasthan Royals Vs Chennai Superkings

For Whosoever thought it before IPL started, no one would have expected this kind of a final.
Rajasthan ( The Unexpected ) and Chennai ( Whose Mana potion had deserted them)

Anyway,

The finals started off well with chennai batting.
The looked a worthy opponent to Rajasthan with their controlled aggression but they should have got 10-20 runs more in the 10 -15 overs range.

Eventhough they had posted some 170 runs on the board which could be very good.

When Rajasthan started batting.. they just kept losing wickets as chennai stuck to a plan and were really determined to win it by their cool nature. It was Yusuf Pathan who just couldnt bat when he came as he was fully tensed and still got the man of the match. Everyone talks about his 4 sixers but no one talked about how he struggled early in the match. If pathan got out in the start then Chennai would have won definitely.

Even the last over climax could have been good had Balaji not bowled that wide and Parthiv being more attentive. Anyway no one expected Chennai to win.
Still they were as good as Rajasthan in all departments

Also this one point i do want to stress

Chennai didnt get a free day after their semi finals.. if you do see the fielding standards in all the games, they were good. but you could see a difference in their fielding in the semifinal and final itself. It may well be because of their much needed rest after their wonderful Semifinal.

Anyway people keep telling the deserved won. Maybe .. But if Chennai had won then there would have been controversy on the nature of 20-20 itself that it is unpredictable and would have brought down chennai's stature. Who Knows what would have happened..
