thanks madman for the advertisement. as you are offline, I will make the mathc preview, playing XI and the match scores.
Here's the preview:
The opening contest of Pepsi IPL 2015 – featuring defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders and IPL 2013 champions Mumbai Indians.

KKR embark on the Pepsi IPL 2015 journey eyeing a third Indian Premier League title – following their success in 2012 and last season. The franchise has retained the bulk of the squad that won them the title last season and made additions to the squad during the Pepsi IPL 2015 Player Auction – more to give the captain and coach the flexibility of depth and variety.

KKR have cracked the code to success in the IPL pretty well. They have relied heavily on their openers – skipper Gautam Gambhir and Robin Uthappa – to set up a platform after which an experienced and explosive middle-order – comprising Manish Pandey, Shakib-al-Hasan, Yusuf Pathan and Suryakumar Yadav - can cut loose. On the bowling front, KKR will be boosted by the news that their premiere bowler Sunil Narine - who was reported for a suspect action last season – has been cleared and can reclaim his place in the XI.

Mumbai Indians, who clinched the title in 2013 and qualified for the Playoffs in the 2014 season, will be aiming to go the distance and lay their hands on silverware yet again. After a turbulent start – losing their first five matches, MI picked themselves up, rallied brilliantly and edged the Rajasthan Royals out in the race to the Playoffs, before losing to the Chennai Super Kings in the Eliminator. Though the team has retained the core of the players who sported the MI jersey last season heading into the 2015 season, there has been a change at the helm; the New Zealander John Wright, who was the head coach last season, has handed the baton to Ricky Ponting and it is expected that the Australian’s experience of doing well in high-stakes matches will hold MI in good stead in the pressure-cooker situations which is a regular feature of the league.

The Mumbai Indians too have plenty of explosive batsmen in their line-up. Aaron Finch is expected to partner Unmukt Chand at the top of the innings; the Australian, together with skipper Rohit Sharma, Corey Anderson and Kieron Pollard will play key roles in MI’s batting scheme of things. On the bowling front, the eight overs combined of Lasith Malinga and Harbhajan Singh will be critical to MI’s success.

sorry for the double post because I need to make the final team for the guide and this has to me my post. And here's the King XI Punjab guide

All-rounders-Rishi Dhawan, Shivam Sharma, Thisara Perera
Wicket-keepers-Wriddiman Saha
Quicks-Anureet Singh, Beuran Hendricks, Mitchell Johnson, Parvinder Awana, Sandeep Sharma, Shardul Thakur,
Spinners-Axar Patel, Karanveer Singh, Yogesh Golwalkar

Team that should play
Virender Sehwag, Murali Vijay, Manam Vohra, Wriddiman Saha(wk), Glenn Maxwell, David Miller, George Bailey, Rishi Dhawan, Mitchell Johnson, Axar Patel, Parvinder Awana(or)Shardul Thakur

Strengths
KXIP have everything as their strength.{~~not really~~}.They're a batting power house and their bowling is also breathtaking. so they are a team to beat. They are also a settled team with only 2 players released. Cheteshwar Pujara and Murali Kartik who actually retired and ches Mandeep Singh has joined RCB. and 3 coming in. Only Murali Vijay the big one.

Weaknesses
I see no weaknesses for this team.

That is all for the preview guides. The discussion about the matches. SO keep supporting IPL. And the match scores and summaries will be posted in this forum.

thanks for that and I will make the Mumbai Indians guide[/img] now

Batsman-Rohit Sharma, Aditya Tare, Lendl Simmons, Aaron Finch, Aiden Blizzard, Nitish Rana, Siddhesh Lad, Umukt Chand,
All-rounders -Kieron Pollard, Corey Anderson, Hardik Pandya,
Wicket-keepers -Ambati Rayudu, Parthiv Patel
Quicks-Lasith Malinga, Jasprit Bumrah, Josh Hazelwood, Marchant de Lange, Pwan Suyal, Mitchell McClenaghan, Abhimanyu Mithun, Vinay Kumar,
Spinners-Harbajan Singh, Shreyas Gopal, Pragyan Ojha, Akshay Wakhare, Jagadeesha Suchitch

Squad that should play
Umukt Chand, Aaron Finch(or)Lendl Simmons, RG Sharma, Ambati Rayudu, Siddhesh Lad, Parthiv Patel, Kieron Pollard(or)Corey Anderson, Harbhajan Singh(or)Shreyas Gopal(or)Pragyan Ojha, Lasith Malinga, Vinay Kumar(or)Abhimanyu Mithun, Josh Hazelwood(or)itchell McClenghan

Strengths
MI's strength is their big hitting all-rounders. Both Kieron Pollard and Corey Anderson in the team. and they've got Good openers in Chand, Fincha & Simmons. and a strong middle-order including RG Sharma, Rayudu, Blizzard, Tare and Parthiv Patel which makes them a batting power house. The next strength is their fast bowling. look at their pace bowling attack:Malinga, Hazelwood, McClenghan, Mithun and VInay Kumar. Nothing gets better than that MI.

Weaknesses
The real concern of MI is the shortage of a experienced spinner. Both Harbhajhan and Pragyan Ojha are experienced but not taking wickets. So they might need inexperienced leg spinner Shreyas Gopal to step up to the plate. If not, MI will feel the downfall cuz of their weak spin attack.

	and you have to know that RCB will miss Mitch Starc for the first round and Adam Milne for some time. So they will need Varun Aaron, the spearhead to perform. they have Yuzvendra Chahal (the only main spinner I should say) up their sleeve. So their lacking premier bowlers. [Read more]

so I will make the DD guide now
now here's the Delhi Daredevils guide
Batsman-Manoj Tiwary, Kedar Jadhav, Mayank Agarwal, Saurabh Tiwary, Shreyas Iyer, Travis Head, Markus Stoinis.
All-rounders -JP Duminy(c), Nathan Coulter-Nile, Angelo Mathews, Yuvraj Singh, Albie Morkel.
Wicket-keepers-Quinton de Kock, CM Gautam, Srikar Bharat.
Quicks-Mohammed Shami, Jaidev Unadkat, Gurinder Sandhu, Zaheer Khan, Dominic Joseph.
Spinners-Shahbaz Nadeem, Jayant Yadav, Imran Tahir, Amit Mishra, KK Jiyas.

Team that should play
Quinton de Kock(or)Markus Stoinis, Mayank Agarwal, Shreyas Iyer, JP Duminy, Yuvraj Singh, Angelo Matheews(or)Nathan Coulter-Nile, Kedar Jadhav, Gurinder Sandhu(or)Imran Tahir, Mohammed Shami, Zaheer Khan, Jaidev Unadkat(or)KK Jiyas(or)Amit Mishra

Strengths
DD have a strong pace in Shami, Unadkat, Coulter-Nile and the fabulous Zaheer Khan and Gurinder Sandhu. They also have Angelo Mathews and Nathan Coulter-Nile. They also have a strong spin attack in Tahir, Mishra and another young chinaman bowler KK Jiyas. They also have a strong middle order in Duminy, Yuvraj, Head, Tiwary, Coulter-Nile, Mathews, Gautam and Albie Morkel.

Weakness
They only weakness that I see in DD is their opening batsman. Markus Stoinis is making his IPL debut and Quinton de Kock is out of form. Mayank Agarwal is more of a finisher than an opener. so tthat's the only weakness I see.

Chance of winning the title
DD have a well-balanced team. If they perform as the paper shows, they will have a strong chance of winning their very first IPL title.

	VVS Laxman said he might replace KP with Williamson or Morgan. so they can play Willliamson, Morgan one of Ravi Bopara and Moises Henriques and one of Dale Steyn and Trent Boult. [Read more]

Here's the guide to the Chennai Super Kings Team

Squad
Batsman-Brendom McCullum, Dwayne Smith, Faf du Plessis, Mithun Manhas, Suresh Raina, Michael Hussey, Pratyush Singh
All-rounders -Baba Aprajith, Dwayne Bravo, Ravindra Jadeja, Irfan Pathan,
Wicket-keepers-MS Dhoni(c), Ankush Bains, Eklavya Dwivedi
Quicks-Ashish Nehra, Ishwar Pandey, Matt Henry, Mohit Sharma, Ronit More, Kyle Abbott, Andrew Tye
Spinners-Pawan Negi, Ravichandran Ashwin, Samuel Badree, Rahul Sharma

Team that should play
Brendom McCullum, Michael Hussey(or)Dwayne Smith, Suresh Raina, Faf du Plessis(or)Dwayne Bravo, MS Dhoni, Ravindra Jadeja, Irfan Pathan, Ravichandran Ashwin, Kyle Abbott(or)Andrew Tye, Mohit Sharma, Ashish Nehra

Strengths
CSK have a explosive opening combination of McCullum and Dwayne Smith(you must remember who McCullum played in the World Cup) and the middle order of du Plessis, M Hussey, Raina, Bravo, Jadeja and Pathan to smash the ball a long way. they also the great MSD in their team. Their pace attack is also decent with Mohit and Irfan and Pandey and Nehra+the new comers Kyle Abbott and the impressive AJ Tye who was spectacular for the Scorchers at the death.

Weakness
The only problem that I see for CSK is their spin. apart from Ashwin, Jadeja and Badree nobody is really that impressive. Badree is not getting chances. Negi has hardly performed well. and apart from that, there's Rahul Sharma, who didn't perform well for DD last season. so Looking forward to seeing the CSK spin attack go about their bussiness.

Chance of winning the title
If CSK can bat as well as their batting line-up is shown on paper, they might go on and win the title.
