Ghostbusters wins by 24 runs

And so the game draws to a tame conclusion with Ghostbusters claiming an impressive victory by 24 runs. A solid, if unspectacular performance there by Ghostbusters 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. All of the disciplines benefited greatly throughout the day. These two teams were fairly evenly matched so it was tough to predict the outcome. That being said Ghostbusters proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory.

The target that Mumbai Indians required was a big one. They lost their way in the 1st 2 overs when they lost the wicket of Chris Gayle while having a score of 16/1 on board. Req. run rate was creeping up to 18+. Something special or perhaps a miracle was needed to pull this match off. Boom Boom Shahid Afridi showed some sixes and played a good innings of 34 of 14 balls, but as always he had to retire not out. On the other end batsmen kept losing wickets. Around 56 was needed of the last 2 overs and it was too much to score specially when you're chasing big totals. Thus, Ghostbusters won the game comfortably at the end...

Beat Busters wins by 5 wickets

And so the game draws to a tame conclusion with Beat Busters claiming an impressive victory by 5 wickets. A solid, if unspectacular performance there by Beat Busters 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. All of the disciplines benefited greatly throughout the day. These two teams were fairly evenly matched so it was tough to predict the outcome. That being said Beat Busters proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory.

On this difficult pitch, Faf du Plessis played hold his nerves and won the game for Beat Busters. He didn't played in last match or so but was given a chance in this match as an opener. He scored 35 of just 14 balls, had to retire but his last six was all needed to his team to win this game...

4.4	@Eoin Morgan to @david Willey, 6, 118.91kph, E Morgan maintains a tight line outside off. That sped away like a tracer bullet. Fantastic drive. Fielder is underneath it but the ball sails over his head. SIX
4.5	@Eoin Morgan to @david Willey, 6, 114.13kph, Excellent timing from D Willey as he plays a late cut. An audacious shot from D Willey. Six runs

Codex wins by 10 runs

What a finish! A nail-biter to the very end. Well played to both teams, but in the end, there can be only one winner. Codex will breathe a sigh of relief after today's match and will be hoping to be more authoritative in the next one. The bowlers were probably licking their lips when they saw the pitch today - the pitch was very sporting, to say the least. All of the disciplines benefited greatly throughout the day. These two teams were fairly evenly matched so it was tough to predict the outcome. That being said Codex proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory.

Sunrisers Hyderabad were looking good when they didn't lost a single wicket in the first two overs. But then came the over of David Willey and Surisers batsmen lost their way in the middle. Willey took 2 wickets. However Jason Roy and Corey Anderson didn't give up and scored 27 runs of KPs over afterwards. 16 was needed of the last over and Babar Azam had to bowl. Surprisingly we not only won the match for his team but also gave away just 5 runs...

Mitchell Santner 19* (12)

James Faulkner 12 (6)

Jean-Paul Duminy 1 / 12

Yet again the pitch wasn't supportive at all for the batsmen. Ben Stokes broke the backbone of Diamond Eagles batsmen, when he took two back to back wickets of Kohli and Braithwate in the 1st over. Dumminy and Sharma also bowled well and picked two wickets. Mitchell Santner was the one you can say played some shots as Diamond Eagles ended up scoring 41/4 in 5 overs...

Welcome to the 2nd inning of this match. Chennai Twisters requires 42 to win.

	The new batsman is @rohit sharma.

Chennai Twisters wins by 3 wickets

And so the game draws to a tame conclusion with Chennai Twisters claiming an impressive victory by 3 wickets. A solid, if unspectacular performance there by Chennai Twisters 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. All of the disciplines benefited greatly throughout the day. These two teams were fairly evenly matched so it was tough to predict the outcome. That being said Chennai Twisters proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory.

Diamond Eagles lost their opener Rohit Sharma of the 1st ball of their innings, when Braithwate hitted direct at the stumps from long on. Bhuvneshwar was unlucky that he couldn't picked up wicket in the 1st over but he gave only 3 runs. Hashim Amla was as usual playing his classic knock and who can stop him when he does that.? Chennai Twisters chased down this target with 6 balls to spare...
