Mumbai Indians after winning back-to-back games lost to Chennai Super Kings. Mumbai were prolific in the run chase against Punjab and Rajasthan chasing a target of over 200 both times. Against Chennai in Chepauk, they were ordinary with Rohit Sharma failing to get back to form is a bigger concern itself. Ishan Kishan misfiring a lot this season again and Mumbai stumbled on to just 139. With not a lot of runs on the board, Mumbai in the end lost the game by 6 wickets.
Royal Challengers Bangalore on the other side were pretty ordinary too against a team that has struggled to get going and are at the bottom of the table. Delhi Capitals annihilated Royal Challengers Bangalore, chasing a target of 182.
Royal Challengers yet again after getting a good start failed to finish well and settled for 182, they were at least 20 runs short on that pitch. Phil Salt made short work of the run chase as he went berserk right from the start and Bangalore bowlers were put to the sword. In the end, Delhi Capitals went on to beat Bangalore with 3.2 overs to spare.
