What a finish! A nail-biter to the very end. Well played to both teams, but in the end, there can be only one winner. Cape Cobras will breathe a sigh of relief after today's match and will be hoping to be more authoritative in the next one. The bowlers were probably licking their lips when they saw the pitch today - the pitch was very sporting, to say the least. Swing benefited greatly throughout the day. Cape Cobras was expected to win this game and they duly obliged. It's been a good team performance all things considered.

What a finish! A nail-biter to the very end. Well played to both teams, but in the end, there can be only one winner. Pune Warriors will breathe a sigh of relief after today's match and will be hoping to be more authoritative in the next one. Probably a fair pitch in the greater scheme of things. There was something in it for the bowlers especially in terms of swing, seam and spin. Pune Warriors was expected to win this game and they duly obliged. It's been a good team performance all things considered.

And so the game draws to a tame conclusion with Royal Challengers Bangalore claiming an impressive victory by 27 runs. A solid, if unspectacular performance there by Royal Challengers Bangalore and they will no doubt want to build on the foundation laid today. The bowlers were probably licking their lips when they saw the pitch today - the pitch was very sporting, to say the least. All of the disciplines benefited greatly throughout the day. Royal Challengers Bangalore was expected to win this game and they duly obliged. It's been a good team performance all things considered.
