Excellent win for Lucknow yesterday.
Chennai home record is generally formidable so that's a big win.

^^ Welcome Snooks, & there was I beginning to think I was talking to myself.

For any cricket lover the sight of Rishabh Pant in full flow is a treat, more so after his absence from the game after a car crash which almost cost him his life. 88 runs from 43 balls with 5 fours & 8 sixes. Pant took 30 runs from the 20th over bowled by Mohit Sharma, which also include a wide.

RH 171-8
RCB won by 35 runs

Match 42
KKR 261-6
PK 262-2 (18.4 overs)

^^ Bairstow is back, don't poke the bear ! He gets dropped through loss of form but returns with a match winning ton. 108 not out from 48 ball with 8 fours & 9 sixes. The 262 was the highest T20 run chase.

That was a cracker of a knock from Jonny.
Punjab badly needed that win too.
