3 out of the 4 teams in action were striving for their first win of the season.

CSK and SRH had lost 3 and 2 games respectively before facing each other on Saturday.

The best bowler for SRH on the day was Washington Sundar who picked up 2 wickets for 21 runs.

CSK did not have any answers for Abhishek Sharma and Rahul Tripathi as they eased their way through the chase.

RCB vs MI:

Mumbai Indians were coming into the game with 3 straight losses on the trot. They surprised everyone when they entered the field with only 2 overseas players. They dropped both Daniel Sams and Tymal Mills. It was for the very first time that MI went in with just 2 overseas players.

It didn’t seem to work out well for them as they lost the game by 7 wickets. This is their 4th loss on the trot.

They were put in to bat. They started well with the bat as they scored 49 runs in the powerplay but then they lost their way in the middle as they lost 6 wickets for just 29 runs. It was a Suryakumar Yadav’s master class that took them to a respectable 151-6 at the end of their innings.

Harshal Patel and Wanindu Hasaranga picked up a couple of wickets each. Mohammad Siraj was disappointing yet again as he gave away 51 runs in his 4 overs.

RCB started the chase well as the openers had a 50+ stand. Once Faf du Plessis got out, Anuj Rawat took the innings forward along with Virat Kohli before getting run out for 66 runs when RCB just needed 22 more runs to win. Kohli too got out with just 8 needed, but Glenn Maxwell finished it off with two consecutive boundaries.
