The two new kids on the block, Gujarat and Lucknow, both lost their playoff openers. That didn't mean you had to lose your fantasy match, and there were plenty of points to go around. For our last playoff episode we'll break down the players to have and players to avoid for the final two matches. Do you pick an extra bowler or some middle-order batters? Is Akash Madwhal a flash in the pan or the real deal?

Finally, we are thrilled to announce the nominees for the first annual Fantasy IPL Awards! Join us for the pomp and circumstance of the nominations, then check us out on twitter @fantasyiplpod to submit your votes!

We'll have one more wrap-up season after the final when we will announce the award winners. Don't miss it!
