Having lost three games in row, the Mumbai Champs made it two wins in a row with a 32-run victory over the Delhi Giants in Hyderabad. Robin Morris followed up his maiden Twenty20 fifty with a second, scoring 54 from 47 balls, and decent contributions from the middle order got Mumbai to 157 after Delhi put them in. Delhi started well, with the openers adding 38, but collapsed from 74 for 1 to 125 all out. The wreckers-in-chief were left-arm spinner Avinash Yadav (3 for 12) and legbreak bowler Shridhar Iyer (3 for 5). Mumbai have moved to fifth in the points table.

Chasing 134, the Chandigarh Lions knocked off the required runs with two balls to spare in Hyderabad, thereby handing the Ahmedabad Rockets their fifth loss in six matches. Ahmedabad won the toss and made a disappointing 133, former international Sridharan Sriram top-scoring with 30. There were few partnerships to speak of and four runs out was rather unflattering. In response, TP Singh hit 50 from 46 balls and Dinesh Mongia, Ahmedabad's captain, and unbeaten 34 to seal victory by five wickets.
