Am expecting RCB to come close and lose this one. Exciting stuff!
Your expectation has come true!
RCB made it too close, but they couldn't win the match. They were getting close to the victory for the powerful batting of Faf du Plessis and Maxwell. The match was indeed exciting. I was supporting RCB in today's match. Unfortunately, they lost the match by 8 runs. Vijaykumar had given 20 runs only in his debut match against Delhi. But today he has given 62 runs in 4 overs, which was quite surprising.
The match was so close. The way that Royal Challengers Bangalore started they couldn't sustain it towards the end. In today's match, I would say Royal Challengers Bangalore's batting performance was completely opposite to Chennai Super Kings' batting performance. If we look at the run worms, we can see that Chennai Super Kings didn't get much runs in the beginning, but they managed to carry the run speed towards the end, on the other hand, Royal Challengers Bangalore had a great batting performance in the beginning, but their wickets fell quickly towards the end, and This is what helped Chennai Super Kings win today. Anyway I enjoyed today's match, it was full of excitement.

Pakistan is close to its win. Iftikhar Ahmed have made his 50* runs from 20 balls. New Zealand bowlers slowly took the match towards their side and Iftikhar have destroyed everything. Now New Zealand should take wickets which is the only way by which they can win the match. Looking at the IPL scores, these scores look like low target. Lets see what is the end result ad Pakistan need 15 runs to win the match and Iftikhar Ahmed on the striker end.
ops, what a breathtaking moment that was. Finally what I thought was that today Pakistan lost their chance to win the series with two matches in hand. But such a quick half-century from Iftikhar Ahmed was truly remarkable, I feel sad for the pain that Pakistani fans feel.
Anyway, this is their first defeat after winning two consecutive matches against New Zealand on Pakistan's homeground, they still have two matches left to confirm the series, let's see if Pakistan can meet the demands of their fans in these last two matches.
