Hello and welcome to today’s newsletter.

Another game went to the wire last night, with five runs needed to win and Dhoni on strike, match could have gone either side but RR came out on top just by a tiny margin.

Last Matches Summary

Match 17 - Chennai Super Kings vs Rajasthan Royals

A fascinating chase by CSK, it wasn’t looking good for them when Devon fell at 113 in 15th over but Jaddu and Dhoni scored 59 runs in 5 overs and almost got CSK home. Royals spinners had a great day at work and Sandeep Sharma managed to hold up Dhoni off the last ball.

Earlier, RR had a brisk start, Buttler doing what he does best. Paddikal and Ashwin supported well, and Hetmyer finished the inning in style.
