Lions wins by 35 runs

Spoiler: 2nd Innings Scorecard

​

Lion bowlers didn't gave any chance to Phoenix bowlers and completely had the game in their control. Ashwin Adams star performer of the day with his figures 3-1-1-1. And so the game draws to a tame conclusion with Lions claiming an impressive victory by 35 runs. A solid, if unspectacular performance there by Lions and they will no doubt want to build on the foundation laid today. The bowlers were probably licking their lips when they saw the pitch today - the pitch was very sporting, to say the least. Seam benefited greatly throughout the day. These two teams were fairly evenly matched so it was tough to predict the outcome. That being said Lions proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory.

House Stark wins by 6 wickets

Spoiler: 2nd Innings Scorecard

​

Amla the man who gave a explosive start to the House Starks by scoring 88 of 49 deliveries with 4 fours and 7 sixes. That's the end of the game and House Stark wrap up a massive victory winning by 6 wickets. Sunrisers Hyderabad was never in the game but that is more down to House Stark's excellent performance than it was the former's poor effort. The bowlers were probably licking their lips when they saw the pitch today - the pitch was very sporting, to say the least. Swing and seam benefited greatly throughout the day. These two teams were fairly evenly matched so it was tough to predict the outcome. That being said House Stark proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory.

Mumbai Indians wins by 5 wickets

Spoiler: 2nd Innings Scorecard

​

And so the game draws to a tame conclusion with Mumbai Indians claiming an impressive victory by 5 wickets. A solid, if unspectacular performance there by Mumbai Indians and they will no doubt want to build on the foundation laid today. The bowlers were probably licking their lips when they saw the pitch today - the pitch was very sporting, to say the least. Swing and spin benefited greatly throughout the day. These two teams were fairly evenly matched so it was tough to predict the outcome. That being said Mumbai Indians proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory.
