In (not very) subtle ways followers knew my pick was Chennai Super Kings as illustrated in my 'Likes' (see Twitter Pics) going only one way, towards #CSK

Plus my post in the morning on No 7 Dhoni (7/07 wearing Jersey 7) mentioning his 7th year with the team!

#SRH apparently made a mistake scoring his luckiest Number while ending up with 178 (7)!

But don't want to directly point out winner as
1. Gamblers could get swayed; we don't want to be responsible due to a wrong prediction!
2. Never easy predicting a match, fortunes of so many matter!

22 players, that date may belong to any of them, depending on their Numbers & the day of the match in question
For example last qualifier match clearly belonged to Rashid Khan as his Numbers were aligned that date (scroll below Wall to read post).

Then in the Finals, on 27th (3,6,9 a family) Man of the Match, Shane Watson wearing Jersey 33 (6, Venus, best Number for him) has his name adding to 9 scored his 2nd IPL hundred! Both Centuries at Pune (6) and Mumbai (9)!

Scored runs = 117 = 9

In Balls = 57 = 3!

His Destiny Number is 17+6+1981=33 too hence his Jersey is 33!

(No 8 & 5 common between us & my new name was brought on 33 too)

He's in his 37th (1, Sun, Leadership) year, ditto like his captain, Dhoni
