Ghostbusters wins by 4 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. Ghostbusters 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 Ghostbusters proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory.

Dhaka Gunners needed some firepower from their openers as req. run rate was over 14 and it crept over 20, after Pat Cummins delivered a wonderful double-wicket over. Glenn Maxwell and James Faulkner tried their best to lunch sixes and they did that too but unfortunately Faulkner had to retired not out. 11 runs were needed of last 2 balls, David Willey did hit six of the second last ball but couldn't connect it on the very last ball...

The pitch looks very difficult to bat on and it is certainly paradise for the bowlers. (First time in this tournament, something for the bowlers!). Virat Kohli and Marcus Stoinis did really well to get their team to a decent score. Although Stoinis catch was dropped, but he did accelerated in the last few overs...

Diamond Eagles 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. Diamond Eagles 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 Diamond Eagles proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory.

NCN made things difficult for Beat Bashers with the start he gave to his team. Req. Run rate was 12 an over and second last over was going to be very crucial in this situation and Marcus Stoinis did exactly that. 17 was needed of the last over and Albie Morkel was on strike but it was Hamilton Masakadza with the ball that got his team home...

Sunrisers Hyderabad wins by 4 wickets

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

Sunriers Hyderabad were on the right track but lost their way in the middle when they lost two quick wickets. But the sleeping man, Corey Anderson was awaken and he scored 30 runs in just 7 balls and made sure that his team is over the line...

Serpents Silchar wins by 23 runs

And so the game draws to a tame conclusion with Serpents Silchar claiming an impressive victory by 23 runs. A solid, if unspectacular performance there by Serpents Silchar 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 Serpents Silchar proved to be the stronger in the end and snatched victory.

Kolachi lost their 1st wicket on the very 1st ball. Rilee Rossouw the man in form played a superb innings again and the req. run rate was around 20. Unfortunately he had to retire out after 34. And the rest of the batsmen couldn't continue the momentum and Kolachi's bad luck continued...
