Batting first, KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal took their side off to a flying start with a 122-run opening stand. But Delhi fought back with quick wickets and restricted Punjab to 195/4. Delhi openers too looked determined to chase it down and despite Prithvi Shaw getting out for 32,&nbsp;Shikhar Dhawan carried on and put his side in command with a 49-ball-92. Delhi got over the finish line with ease and pulled off the&nbsp;2nd best run chase at the Wankhkede stadium.

Both teams bounced back strongly in their 2nd games after losing the opening encounter and would not to take their foot off the peddle. New Royals skipper Sanju Samson had to come out to bat in the first 6 overs&nbsp;in both the games but Rajasthan&nbsp;wouldn't hope for that to happen this time around. Samson has been dismissed thrice by Deepak&nbsp;Chahar&nbsp;in the 28 balls he has faced by the CSK&nbsp;pacer.
Interestingly, CSK hold a slight edge over the Royals with a 14-10 head-to-head record. But with both teams having good depth&nbsp;in their batting, it&nbsp;promises to be a cracker of a match.&nbsp;

4 goals were scored in 30 mins&nbsp;including a stunning brace from Lionel Messi&nbsp;as Barcelona thrashed Athletic Bilbao&nbsp;4-0 to win the Copa&nbsp;del Rey&nbsp;title. The 31st title for Barcelona didn't come easy as Barcelona were pushed into a corner in the first half desperate in need of a goal. But in the 2nd half, the dominance switched hands with&nbsp;Antoine Griezmann&nbsp;and&nbsp;Frenkie de Jong&nbsp;scoring in quick succession. Messi&nbsp;then came and stamped his authority&nbsp;with 2 goals towards the end of the 2nd half. Revenge of sorts for Barcelona as they were earlier beaten&nbsp;2-1 by Athletic in January's Spanish Super Cup final.&nbsp;

On a slow and low batting surface of Chennai, Mumbai&nbsp;Indians elected to bat first as the openers gave them just the perfect start. Sunrisers&nbsp;Hyderabad fought back to remove captain Rohit&nbsp;Sharma and Suryakumar&nbsp;Yadav&nbsp;in quick succession. Quinton de Kock&nbsp;scored 40 but the rest of the batsmen failed to adjust to the surface in Chennai. Old warhorse&nbsp;Kieron&nbsp;Pollard then rose to the occasion and smashed an unbeaten 35 off 22 balls to take Mumbai&nbsp;to 150/5. In reply, the Sunrisers&nbsp;looked in a hurry to finish the game as Jonny&nbsp;Bairstow&nbsp;took apart the Mumbai&nbsp;bowlers. He smashed a 22 ball 43 but no one else failed to hit the groove. Captain Warner scored a 34 ball 36 before being run out by Hardik&nbsp;Pandya. Sunrisers&nbsp;imploded once again as they fell short by 13 runs with Rahul&nbsp;Chahar&nbsp;and Trent Boult&nbsp;taking 3 wickets each. 3rd straight loss for Sunrisers&nbsp;this season as they are yet to open their account in 2021 as Mumbai&nbsp;Indians jumped to the top of the points table with their 2nd win.&nbsp;
