Royal Challengers Bangalore had yet another bad day at the office as Sunrisers Hyderabad thrashed them by 5 wickets, handing Virat Kohli's men their 3rd consecutive loss. Put into bat, RCB's batting fell apart and never got going. Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers failed to impress yet again as Bangalore were restricted to mere 120/7. In reply, Wriddhiman Saha came good with a gritty 39 but quick wickets saw SRH being reduced to 87/4. It didn't affect Jason Holder though as his&nbsp;10-ball-21 took his side over the finish line with 35 balls to spare. A comprehensive 3rd win in 4 games also helped Hyderabad to stay alive in the playoffs race.

Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan&nbsp;Royals, two teams which are desperate to keep their campaign alive, will have last shot in doing that when they&nbsp;lock horns in the second game of a Super Sunday. Both sides&nbsp;had contrasting fortunes just a few days ago, but now sit level on points from 13 games each. While KKR&nbsp;lost their 4th spot and were pushed to number 6 after 2 consecutive losses, Royals have revived their campaign with 2 straight wins. Giving them confidence is Ben Stokes who has smashed a ton and a half-century in both those wins. Kolkata,&nbsp;on the other hand, may not have momentum but the Knight Riders beat Rajasthan&nbsp;the last time these 2 sides faced each other this season.&nbsp;Though victory won't guarantee a place in the playoffs for the winner, a loss will certainly end the campaign for one.&nbsp;

Their 5-match winning run may have ended but Kings XI Punjab can still qualify for the playoffs but standing in their way is a high on confidence Chennai Super Kings. After spoiling KKR's&nbsp;party in their last game, CSK&nbsp;may play spoil sport for Kings XI as well, as a loss here will knock out KL Rahul's&nbsp;men. Despite being out of the tournament, Super Kings would still want to finish on a high as another victory will take them to&nbsp;3 consecutive wins. History too favours CSK&nbsp;as they hold a 14-9 head-to-head advantage over Punjab. Moreover, Chennai thrashed Kings XI by 10 wickets in the previous game this season. Everything said and done, Punjab have no option left but to win their last game.&nbsp;

Delhi Capitals' hopes of making it to the playoffs dealt&nbsp;yet another blow as Mumbai Indians thrashed them by 9 wickets on Saturday, handing Shreyas Iyer's men their 4th consecutive loss. After losing the toss, Delhi made a mess of their batting as they had no answer to Jasprit Bumrah and Trent Boult's lethal pace. Both picked up 3 wickets each to restrict the Capitals to a paltry 110/9. It proved to be a cake walk for Mumbai as Ishan Kishan blasted an unbeaten 42-ball-72 to take his side over the finish line with ease. While Mumbai are now on 18 points, Delhi stay at 14 with their last game becoming a do or die affair&nbsp;as another loss may push them out of the playoffs race.

Virat Kohli's Royal Challengers Bangalore will be hoping to qualify for the playoffs as they play Sunrisers Hyderabad in Sharjah in Super Saturday's second game. While a win for Hyderabad keeps them away from getting knocked out, a lot will depend on their form as they've had three losses in their last 5 games. But, with a positive net run rate in hand, the David Warner-led side has a decent chance to qualify for the Top Four. Bangalore are coming off two consecutive losses and will push for a win which will not only book their playoff berth but also give them the necessary momentum.

With Mumbai&nbsp;Indians already past the qualifying line for the playoffs in IPL 2020, Delhi Capitals too will be hoping to do the same as this heavyweight clash could possibly decide the line-up for the last 4 challenge. While the presence of Rohit&nbsp;Sharma isn't confirmed yet, Mumbai&nbsp;won't be too worried but will be hoping to finish with full points as it could guarantee them a top spot which ensures an extra chance to play in the playoffs. The Capitals on the other hand will be looking to rescue themselves from the slump as they have now lost 3 from their last 5 outings. While their participation in the IPL&nbsp;playoffs is almost certain, there is still a possibility of them not making it to the top 4 if their poor run continues.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Rajasthan Royals thrash Kings XI Punjab by 7 wickets in Abu Dhabi

With their backs against&nbsp;the wall, Rajasthan&nbsp;Royals came out all guns blazing to thrash Kings XI Punjab by 7 wickets. After a Chris Gayle show, Kings XI Punjab posted an above par 185\4 from their 20 overs. While Gayle smashed 99 off 63 balls, KL Rahul&nbsp;made 46 off 41. Ben Stokes and Jofra&nbsp;Archer took 2 wickets each as the total looked very much out of Rajasthan's&nbsp;reach. In reply, Stokes cam out like a man on a mission, he blazed to 50 off 26 balls before getting dismissed. His opening stand of 60 with Robin Uthappa&nbsp;gave Rajasthan&nbsp;a momentum they needed. Sanju&nbsp;Samson made 48 which provided great stability to the middle order. An unbeaten 41 run stand between Jos&nbsp;Buttler&nbsp;&amp; Steve Smith guided the team home with 7 wickets and 15 balls to spare. 1st loss for Kings XI Punjab&nbsp;in 6 games but 2 wins in 2 outings for the Royals as both teams are still alive in IPL 2020.&nbsp;

Shaheen&nbsp;Afridi and Wahab&nbsp;Riaz&nbsp;saved the day for Pakistan, as they together&nbsp;grabbed 9 wickets to defeat Zimbabwe by 26 runs in the first ODI&nbsp;at the Rawalpindi&nbsp;Stadium on Friday. The hosts, who were playing their first ODI&nbsp;since October last year, won the toss and elected to bat first. Imam-ul-Haq's&nbsp;75-balls-58 and Haris&nbsp;Sohail's&nbsp;82-ball-71 helped Pakistan&nbsp;post a 282-run target. In reply,&nbsp;Brendon&nbsp;Taylor and&nbsp;Wesley Madhevere's&nbsp;stunning partnership of 119 runs brought the visitors back into the game. While the newcomer&nbsp;Madhevere&nbsp;finished with a career-best 55,&nbsp;Taylor&nbsp;smashed 11 fours and 3 sixes, as he ended up scoring 112 off 117 balls. Soon after Taylor's wicket was picked up by Shaheen&nbsp;in the 46th over,&nbsp;Zimbabwe's outing was spoiled as Pakistan wrapped up by taking 4 four wickets for just 15 runs. The&nbsp;win provides Pakistan a 1-0 lead in the 3-match ODI&nbsp;series. The next match will be held on Sunday at the same venue.&nbsp;

Liverpool's Virgil Van Dijk&nbsp;has undergone successful&nbsp;knee surgery in London, the English club confirmed on Friday. Earlier this month, the 29-year-old suffered a ligament injury in his right knee during the 2-2 draw against&nbsp;Everton. The Premier League club&nbsp;also informed that the center back will now focus on the beginning of his rehabilitation with the support of Reds' medical department. While the club did not give any update on his return, the Dutch defender might get ruled out for the rest of the season due to his injury.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Although he retained the top spot in Tennis World Rankings, the 17-time Grand Slam winner&nbsp;Novak&nbsp;Djokovic suffered a defeat 6-2, 6-1 at the hands of a 'Lucky Loser' on Friday at the Vienna Open. It was&nbsp;Lorenzo Sonego's biggest win, as the 42nd ranked Italian entered the main draw after replacing Diego Schwartzman who pulled out due to an injury.&nbsp;The Serbian who was content enough, lost only his third match of the year in the Erste&nbsp;Bank open quarterfinals.

The club also informed that the&nbsp;Portuguese footballer will now resume his individual training.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Kings XI Punjab may have turned their campaign around with 5 consecutive wins but they need to continue that when KL Rahul's&nbsp;men face Rajasthan&nbsp;Royals in Abu Dhabi&nbsp;on Friday. While Punjab still need to win remaining 2 games in order to book a berth in the playoffs, Rajasthan&nbsp;in addition to that will also have to look to improve their net run rate and then depend on&nbsp;other results to go their way. Giving them hope is Ben Stokes, who slammed a match-winning ton against Mumbai&nbsp;in the previous outing. Though Rajasthan&nbsp;hold a 11-9 head-to-head advantage vs Punjab, but beating them this time around won't be easy as the momentum is with the Kings XI. They may be on a roll but the Royals have no option but to come up trumps.

There is a reason why Chris Gayle is considered the Don Bradman&nbsp;of T20 cricket. The Jamaican superstar smashed yet another record on Friday during the game against the Rajasthan&nbsp;Royals as he hit his 1000th six in the shortest format of the game. Gayle has featured in over 400 T20 matches in his career and is the first to reach the magical milestone. But he couldn't add his century number 23 to his career highlights as he was dismissed for 99 by Jofra&nbsp;Archer. The 41-year-old has 22 tons &amp; 11 scores in the 90s in T20 cricket which is the most for any batsman.&nbsp;
