Sunrisers Hyderabad wins by 3 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. Sunrisers Hyderabad 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 Sunrisers Hyderabad proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory.

Dale Steyn and Bhuvneshwar Kumar bowled good first couple of overs. Beat Bashers batsmen kept scoring runs, but they needed even more in the last over. Lendl Simmons was given the ball to bowl the last over. 23 runs were needed. Hardik Pandya and Dwayne Smith did try and scored some boundaries, but in the end SRH stole the show with a 3 runs win...

Ranchi Rays wins by 8 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. Ranchi Rays 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 Ranchi Rays proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory.

Chennai Twisters batsmen got stuck in their shell when Bumrah and Morris bowled excellent 1st two overs, giving away just 7 runs and also picking up a wicket of Amla. Aaron Finch had enough of this and went on to score 31 before retiring not out. 28 was needed of the last over and guess it was too much Chennai batsmen...

Serpents Silchar wins by 3 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. Serpents Silchar 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 Serpents Silchar proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory.

Mumbai Indians wins by 5 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. Mumbai Indians 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. Mumbai Indians was expected to win this game and they duly obliged. It's been a good team performance all things considered.

The target was big. But Diamond Eagles openers didn't even looked at it and went on to smash balls out of the park. Virat Kohli scored 31 retired not out, while Hamilton Masakadza scored 34 retired not out. Unlucky for them as their team lost by just 5 runs...

Kolachi wins by 4 wickets

And so the game draws to a tame conclusion with Kolachi claiming an impressive victory by 4 wickets. A solid, if unspectacular performance there by Kolachi 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 Kolachi proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory.

David Miller and Rilee Rossouw ensured that they don't lose their wicket early. But Shabad Khan's over in the middle turned the board. He tooks two crucial wickets. 30 runs were needed of the last two overs and captain cool MS Dhoni stood firm and got his team home...
