The success of IPL has led MCC to think on the lines of IPL. Three English counties and the MCC have drawn up a blueprint for a £50million Twenty20 tournament to rival the IPL, involving nine franchise-based teams at grounds that stage international matches in England.

The new league might take shape in the next two years.

Rajasthan Royals 192 for 9 (Watson 52, Yusuf 45, Maharoof 3-34) beat Delhi Daredevils 87 (Dilshan 33, Watson 3-10, Munaf 3-17) by 105 runs

It would be softer to say that Rajasthan had a cake walk in the first semis against Delhi. Rajasthan, IMO, was ruthless in slaughtering Daredevil Delhi. 

I am wondering how Delhi survived for 16 plus overs. They should have left the field in less than 10 overs considering the killing bowling by Shane Watson (3 wkts), Munaf Patel (3 wkts) & Shane Warne.
