Punjab vs Deccan looked a cracker as once again the Deccan bowlers failed to capitalise on the good work of their batsmen, Dhawan and Cameron White again. David Hussey marshalled his side home to a win that keeps them in the hunt for 4th spot as Gurkeerat Singh showed what the IPL is meant to be all about, a relatively unheard of Indian player making himself for himself with a nerveless innings. I love watching Punjab play so disappointing to have missed it, will now be cheering on Rajasthan and KXIP in the hope on of them makes the play-offs. As for Pune, looks like I'll be waiting until next year for some success!
Today has seen Mumbai put a real dent in Bangalore's chances for the semis in a win that has opened the door to the rest of the chasing pack. Pollard, along with Rayudu, sealed the last over win with some big hitting against compatriot Gayle after Agarwal played a gem of a knock to post a very defendable score for RCB. As I write this Kolkata are just about to come out to defend 159 against Chennai, I think they'll just about scrape home thanks to some Narine heroics but we'll see.
Looking forward to getting tomorrow's paper out of the way to get back for Wednesday's big one - Mumbai vs Kolkata! Enjoy the cricket.
