Kochi Tuskers Kerala beat Kolkata Knight Riders by 6 runs in a closely contested match at Eden Gardens. KKR captain Gautam Gambhir won the toss and decided to field. KKR bowled well as Kochi managed to only reach 132/7 in their 20 overs with nobody scoring even 30+ for KTK. Yusuf Pathan and Shakib Al Hassan took 3 wickets each for KKR. In reply, KKR also kept on losing wickets regularly and even a valiant effort by Manoj Tiwary (46 runs off 51 balls) could not help as KKR only managed to reach 126/9 in 20 overs. RP Singh and Ravindra Jadeja took two wickets each for the Kochi team. Kochi captain Jayawardena was awarded the Man of the Match for his overall performance with the bat, on the field and for his excellent captaincy.

Sachin Tendulkar scored his maiden IPL century today as he played a captain’s knock to guide the team to 182/2 in 20 overs. But Kochi Tuskers Kerala did the unbelievable and pulled up a huge upset against the Mumbai Indians on their home ground as they won with 6 balls to spare. KTK captain Mahela Jayawardena won the toss and put Mumbai Indians to bat. Sachin scored 100 runs off only 66 balls and Ambati Rayudu scored 53 off merely 33 balls as they set KTK a target of 183 runs to win. But the two experienced campaigners Brendon McCullum (81 runs off 60 balls) and Mahela Jayawardena (56 runs off 36 balls) gave the team a brilliant start as they put on a partnership of 128 runs for the first wicket. After their fall, Ravindra Jadeja (25 runs off 11 balls) and Brad Hodge (11 runs off 7 balls) also contributed as Kochi Tuskers Kerala reached 184/2 in just 19 overs. Lasith Malinga took both the KTK wickets but was extremely expensive as he got hammered 42 runs off his 4 overs. Brendon McCullum was awarded the Man of the Match for his blazing innings.

Match 45 of IPL T20 season 2 was very important for both Rajasthan Royals and Mumbai Indians as a win would almost bring them near the semis while a defeat would virtually end their hope of securing a semi-final berth. Shane Warne won the toss and decided to bat. Rob Quiney (51 off 40 balls) and Ravindra Jadeja (42 off 32 balls) batted brilliantly but the rest of the batsmen could not capitalize after their departure and they ended at 145/7 in their 20 overs. Mumbai Indains did not get a good start in their first six overs as a result of a major shuffling of the batting order where domestic Indian players were sent instead of the seniors. The required run rate kept of increasing and Mumbai Indians kept on losing wickets steadily under the pressure of scoring big runs. Even some good hitting by Sachin Tendulkar (40 off 30 balls) and Abhishek Nayar (35 off 18 balls) could not save the Mumbai Indians as they lost out all wickets in 19.5 overs. It was a trilling match and the death overs were nerve-wrecking as Rajasthan Royals managed to pull out a win even when 5 runs were only required in the last over with 3 wickets left. Shane Warne was awarded the Man of the Match for his brilliant and crucial spell of 3 wickets for 24 runs.
