MI vs Gl: For me the big question right now is, what is a good target in IPlIJ Gujarat put up a good total which seemed defendable. McCullum, Raina and Dinesh Karthik made good contributions with the bat. Harbhajan was the most consistent bowler in lions' innings. However, Mumbai's batting was flawless and everyone contributed to the effort. Pollard is proving to be a consistent performer.
RCB vs RPS: For me cricket’s aura is due to its unpredictability. Everyone said this is a wicket where even 200+ can be chased down. But Pune’s batsmen struggled and suffered a middle-order collapse though Tiwary got them to a good score. The pitch continued to be the same way in RCB's innings and their batsmen too struggled. The turning point was Dhoni's sharp stumping of de Villiers off Tahir's bowling.
