Hello and welcome to today’s newsletter.

Happy 50th birthday to one and only Master Blaster Sachin 🥳 

Arshdeep you beauty, those two deliveries in the last over were a sight to behold. Back to back middle stump crushing (literally) deliveries should be a some sort of record 😍 .

Last Matches Summary

Match 30 - Lucknow Super Giants vs Gujarat Titans

I don’t have words on how can LSG lose this match to GT. Agree difficult pitch argument but you can’t lose a match like this. This is totally unacceptable from a professional team. They had a great day with bowl and restricted GT to 135.

But LSG chase was a total disaster, considering they got a decent start with the openers and Rahul played until the last over. But still couldn’t chase 135. Totally disappointing performance.

Brief Score: Gujarat Titans 135/6 (Hardik Pandya 66, Saha 47; Krunal Pandya 2/16) beat Lucknow Super Giants 128/7 (KL Rahul 68, Kyle Mayers 24; Noor Ahmed 2/18, M Sharma 2/17) by 7 runs

Player of the Match: Mohit Sharma

Match 31 - Mumbai Indians vs Punjab Kings

A wonderful night for Punjab, Curran stood up to the captaincy challenge and delivered with the bat. He was quite effective with his bowling and fielding options. A fine young man with a great potential.

Mumbai were amazing in the chase - Rohit and Green gave a decent start, and SKY was at his usual best and got out at a critical juncture. But highlight of the match was two deliveries by Arshdeep Singh in the final over, when he bowled and literally broke middle stump twice in two back to back balls. That was the over you hope to witness over and over again.

Brief Score: Punjab Kings 214/8(Curran 55, Harpreet Singh 41; Chawla 2/15) beat Mumbai Indians 201/ (Green 67, SKY 57; Arshdeep Singh 4/29, Axar 2/13) by 4 wickets

Player of the Match: Sam Curran
