While Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore did well to recover from the worst position they were in after first 5 matches. Chennai Super Kings just had 3 points and Royal Challengers had 2 points. Deccan Chargers and Mumbai Indians were the teams to give away the early advantage they had. They both lost 4 matches in a row.

Yuvraj Singh took yet another hat trick, his second in this IPL T20. He’s the only bowler to have two hat tricks in IPL. Kings XI Punjab clinched yesterday’s nail bitter winning by just 1 run against Deccan Chargers.

Gilchrist won the toss again and elected to field first. His strategies are clear to restrict the opposition and chace down the target. His strategy didn’t work as his batting power house consisting of himself, Gibbs, Rohit Sharma, Symonds, Suman and Rao couldn’t do the trick today.
