Mohali Punjab Kings win by 6 wickets in the Ipl Match against Hyderabad Deccan Chargers.
If the team wins in the 20-20 match, not only batting but also require bowling and fielding.
Hyderabad team scored 176 in first innings. But it is not a small score. Bowling shows very weak in first 6 overs in the hyderabad team. Deccan Chargers is taken the 1st wicket of Punjab Kings too late. This makes the lot of difference. Luck also not favoured to the Hyderabad Team.
I am a Very Good Cricket Fan. Most of the Ipl Matches are very intersting.

Five run outs leads Mumbai Indians lost the match

Very High Tension match at last, Mumbai Indians lost by one (1) run against Mohali Punjab Kings. Only the cause is five run outs .... Dwane Smith, Sachin Tendulkar, Chitnis, Ashish Nehra & Yeligati these batman all are run outs.

9th Win of Jaipur Rajasthan Royals against Kolkata Knight Riders

Every win of Rajasthan Royals shows impressive, seriousness, dedication, unity and discipline. Rajasthan Royals winning process is going on. Shane Warne's Capitancy is very well.

9th Loss of Bangalore Royal Challengers

We can't find dangerous batsman (pinch hitters) in Bangalore Royal Challengers. In 20-20 matches, every batsman to hit the ball very hard or high stroke and also more runs get more comportable win.
Most comportable winning matches in 20-20 first innings scores are 190+ runs. Most comportable winning matches in 20-20 second innings scores are below 120 runs. These equations are full 20-20 overs match not minimise overs matches (in case rain came between the matches, overs decreases also duckworth-lewis method also enters)

Rain Came, Match Lost

Very Bad Luck to Delhi Daredevils & Kolkata Knight Riders Teams. Both Teams Lost their matches with Opponents. Duckworth lewis method helps the both teams, Mohali Punjab Kings & Chennai Super Kings are succeded.

In 20-20 Matches, every over & every ball is important. Every match is fun & lot of enjoyment.
