The Teams largely kept their bowling rankings (even more than their batting rankings) and 6 teams didn’t deviate by more than one position. Except for Delhi who bettered their expectations in bowling (after doing the same in batting as well) and Bangalore who performed much worse in bowling due to lower than expeted performance of Dale Steyn (and also his late entry in the tournament).

Also it is turning out that Batting Ranking matters more than bowling ranking

The Teams predicted to be the best largely kept their ranking given by this site. Only 3 team deviated by more than 2 spots. They were Delhi who surprised largely due to the sudden form of Virender Sehwag. 2 Teams who failed their rankings were Hyderabad who failed despite having Symonds and Gilchrist followed by Rohit Sharma. Though Mumbai explicably without Sachin did not retain their batting ranking, and Jayasuriya’s continued loss of form after the Australian tour didn’t help their cause.

The Best Team seems to be Royal Challengers, Bangalore, surprisingly, even though they have the weakest batting, but their bowling is so good that even with a weak batting they can win by a huge margin.

Kolkata, Hyderabad and Mohali seem to be the teams who can make the Semi Final Lineup with Bangalore.

Only, Jaipur seems to be a team which coud just win an extra match to upset one of the above three teams.

Mumbai, Chennai and Delhi have a lower chance of making the Semi Finals.
