By the time Monday's match ended at the D.Y Patil Stadium, Delhi won by 17 runs, thanks to a 49-ball 63 from Mitchell Marsh and with Shardul Thakur, Axar Patel, and Kuldeep Yadav dismantling Punjab's batting order to displace Royal Challengers Bangalore from fourth place in the points table. Stitching back-to-back wins was something that pleased Delhi skipper Rishabh Pant.

Chasing a par score of 178/6 in 20 overs built on useful knocks from Yashasvi Jaiswal (41), Sanju Samson (32) and Devdutt Padikkal (39), Lucknow were restricted to 154/8 in 20 overs despite a half-century by Deepak Hooda (59) and his 65-run partnership with Krunal Pandya (25).

CSK could only score 97 against Mumbai Indians at the Wankhede on Thursday night, which the five-time IPL champions overhauled in the 15th over for a five-wicket win. Dhoni added that anything below 130 runs in an T20 game is difficult to defend. Mukesh and Simarjeet shared the new ball to put Mumbai Indians in a spot of bother, taking three and one wicket respectively, but Tilak Varma batted confidently for his unbeaten 34 to guide the Rohit Sharma-led side to victory.

Ashwin's promotion to three as a pinch hitter began to work well when he carted a brace of fours off Shardul Thakur; a neat whip over mid-wicket was followed by a crisp punch through extra cover.
