RCB vs KKR: For me this was another dissapointing performance by RCB. Gayle and Virat once more failed to live upto their reputation. RCB were able to post a decent total but were completely blown away by KKR's opening pair of Narain and lynn. Things seem to be falling in place for Gautam Gambhir. The new opening partnership destroyed the RCB attack and pretty much sealed the game for Gautam Gambhir’s side.
KXIP vs Gl: For me Punjab didn't score as much as they should have after the second wicket partnership between Amla and Marsh. Amla's century was a wonderful knock and came at a crucial time for his team. In their chase, Gujarat batsmen got their team off to a good start. They were helped by the sloppy fielding and dropped catches of Punjab. That allowed Gujarat batsmen to dominate and they were able to reach the target successfully.
