After a morale-crushing loss to Chennai Super Kings where Punjab Kings managed to score just 106/8 from their 20 overs, the team will be hoping for a quick turn around

After a morale-crushing loss to Chennai Super Kings where Punjab Kings managed to score just 106/8 from their 20 overs, the team will be hoping for a quick turn around as they play the mighty Delhi Capitals. Despite the humiliating loss, Punjab Kings had a silver lining in the form of Shahrukh&nbsp;Khan. The Rs 5.25 crore&nbsp;valued superstar from Tamil Nadu&nbsp;scored a 36 ball 47 and took the team to a respectable total. Delhi Capitals are also coming off a loss after they were humbled by Rajasthan&nbsp;Royals in a last-over thriller. With the return of Anrich&nbsp;Nortje, Kagiso&nbsp;Rabada&nbsp;gets his partner back as the two pacers are expected to make the batters&nbsp;uncomfortable on the fast and bouncy Mumbai&nbsp;track. Punjab Kings hold a slight edge over Delhi Capitals in the head to head record having won 15 of the 26 games played between the two teams.&nbsp;

With 2 wins from 2 outings, the Royal Challengers Bangalore couldn't have asked for a better start to their IPL&nbsp;2021 campaign. Skipper Virat&nbsp;Kohli would be supremely happy with the newest recruit Glenn Maxwell who has scored 98 runs from 2 outings. His team is doing well but Virat&nbsp;himself needs to get in the thick of things with some big scores. A death bowler is what RCB&nbsp;is missing as they tend to give away a lot of runs in the death overs. Eoin&nbsp;Morgan's Kolkata&nbsp;Knight Riders are struggling to get off the blocks this season after a gut-wrenching loss to Mumbai Indians in their previous game. Middle-order is expected to fire as the team is in desperate need of runs from Andre Russell's bat. With 1 win from 2 outings, KKR&nbsp;has a chance to go to the top of the points table if they register a thumping&nbsp;win. In the 27 meetings between both teams, Kolkata&nbsp;leads the head to head record with 15 wins while RCB&nbsp;is not far behind with 12 victories.&nbsp;

Pakistan's cricket players will get visas to compete in the World T20 in India this October, the BCCI's apex council has been told by Board secretary Jay Shah following government assurances. Shah told the council that the mega-event will be staged across nine venues with Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium hosting the final. The other venues are Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Dharamsala and Lucknow.&nbsp;Pakistan has been demanding assurances from the ICC that visas will be granted to its players for the World T20 as&nbsp;India and Pakistan have not played bilateral cricket for close to a decade now due to diplomatic tensions between the two nations.

As described by coach Stephen Fleming, the heartbeat of Chennai Super Kings, MS Dhoni&nbsp;celebrated a major milestone with his teammates after beating Punjab&nbsp;Kings in the IPL. Dhoni&nbsp;cut a cake in the dressing room at the Wankhede&nbsp;cricket stadium after playing his 200th match for the yellow brigade. The win against Punjab also made it extra special as CSK&nbsp;opened their account in IPL&nbsp;2021 with a thumping victory. Dhoni&nbsp;is the 2nd cricketer after Rohit&nbsp;Sharma to play 200 games or more in&nbsp;IPL&nbsp;and now-defunct Champions League T20.&nbsp;

Chennai Super Kings have jumped to the 2nd spot in the points table which is led by Royal Challengers Bangalore. Mumbai and Delhi occupy the 3rd &amp; 4th spot respectively. In the 2nd half, Rajasthan is 5th followed by Kolkata and Punjab in the 6th &amp; 7th spot. Hyderabad without a win so far in 2 games is 8th on the table.&nbsp;

2 matches, 2 losses and Sunrisers are yet to open their account in IPL&nbsp;2021. Both losses came in a way that defied logic as the middle and lower order of Sunrisers&nbsp;collapsed without putting up a fight. In a bid to shake up the team, coach Trevor Bayliss&nbsp;might just get Kane Williamson back in the Playing XI who has been missing for the first two games. Mumbai&nbsp;Indians, on the other hand, scripted a hard-fought win against Kolkata&nbsp;Knight Riders and look like a well-oiled unit. Rohit Sharma is yet to fire as the Mumbai&nbsp;Indians' skipper is due for a big score. The low and tough Chennai wicket will once again be in the&nbsp;spotlight as teams chasing at Chepauk&nbsp;are finding it tough to play. With both teams locked at 8 wins each in head to head record, it is expected to be a cracking contest.&nbsp;

South African fast bowler Anrich&nbsp;Nortje&nbsp;who missed Delhi Capitals' 2nd game in IPL&nbsp;due to a positive report has now tested negative. The 27-year-old has now joined the Delhi Capitals' squad and will be available for selection. The management in a statement revealed that Nortje&nbsp;had a false positive test result which is quite common and has been tested three times after that with each test returning negative. This is the 2nd such instance of a false positive report in IPL&nbsp;after Kolkata&nbsp;Knight Riders' Nitish&nbsp;Rana also tested positive for Covid-19 but was later found to be negative on subsequent testing.&nbsp;

With his short stint at IPL&nbsp;2021 over and Ben Stokes will now fly back&nbsp;home on Saturday according to ESPNCricinfo. Stokes who fractured his finger while playing for the Rajasthan&nbsp;Royals will undergo surgery and is going to be out of action for 12 weeks. X-rays and CT Scan done in Mumbai&nbsp;where the Royals are currently playing their league games had revealed a fracture in his left index finger. The surgery is planned for Monday next week in Leeds and the total period of rehabilitation is estimated to be 12 weeks according to the English Cricket Board.&nbsp;

So far, bookies and fixers across the world in cricket would rely on cash, expensive cars, clothes, jewellery and even mobile phones to make corrupt approaches but things are now changing. According to a new report by PTI, bookies are now looking at cryptocurrency&nbsp;as it is virtually untraceable. In an interview, ICC&nbsp;Anti Corruption Unit's&nbsp;General Manager Alex Marshall said that the latest case of former Zimbabwe Captain Heath Streak involved a Bitcoin&nbsp;transaction. A bookie had paid 2 Bitcoins&nbsp;to Streak for inside information which was worth over $35,000 at that time in 2018. While this is a completely new phenomenon, experts aren't ruling out further use as this currency in nearly impossible to track as compared to regular paper cash.&nbsp;

It has now been 3 straight days that the team which was on course for a win till the 15th over ended up on the losing side in IPL, as Rajasthan Royals stole Delhi's thunder to pull off a sensational 3-wicket win. Batting first, Delhi were off to a horrible start and were reduced to 37/4. Pant took the onus upon himself and scored a much-needed half-century under pressure, helping his side finished at 147/8. What seemed like an easy run chase for the Royals proved to be otherwise. Delhi pacers rattled Rajasthan and reduced them to 42/5. David Miller counter attacked with a 43-ball-62 but it was Chris Morris who turned out to be the hero. His unbeaten 18-ball-36 powered Royals to their first win vs Delhi in 6 outings.

After a demoralising defeat in the first outing,&nbsp;Chennai Super Kings will look to bring their campaign on track as they take on a motivated Punjab Kings in Mumbai on Friday. Though CSK's batting looks stable but they have a lot to think about their bowling. The need of the hour is for MS Dhoni&nbsp;to inspire his bowlers early on in the tournament. Punjab too are sailing in a similar boat. Despite posting 221 against Rajasthan, they won the game just by 4 runs. Moreover, CSK enjoy a 15-9 head-to-head record vs Punjab and even beat them the last time these 2 sides locked horns.&nbsp;

Former Zimbabwe captain Heath Streak was on Wednesday banned for eight years from all cricket after he accepted five charges of breaching the ICC anti-corruption code, including disclosing inside information and facilitating corrupt approaches.&nbsp;The matches include some in international cricket as well as for stints in Twenty20 leagues including the IPL, the BPL and Afghanistan Premier League.&nbsp;Streak chose to admit the charges and agreed to the sanction and agreed that he disclosed inside information in relation to matches in the 2018 Tri-Series involving Zimbabwe, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, the Zimbabwe v Afghanistan series in 2018, the IPL 2018 where he was Kolkata&nbsp;Knight Riders' bowling coach&nbsp;and the Afghan Premier League 2018.
