Hyderabad and Chandigarh post wins

Stuart Binny smashed 86 off 53 balls but it was not enough to prevent Hyderabad Heroes from slipping to a five-wicket defeat against Delhi Giants in Hyderabad . Binny hit four sixes and eight fours, but none of the other batsmen could score at over a run a ball, and Hyderabad were restricted to 144 for 5. Left-arm medium-pacer Shalabh Srivastava took 2 for 28 for Delhi while TP Sudhindra bowled an economical spell of 1 for 14 in four overs. Delhi opener Dishant Harendra Yagnik led the run-chase with 52 off 41 balls. He received support from Jai P Yadav and Abbas Ali, who scored 23 and 31 respectively, and they reached the target with seven balls to spare.

Chandigarh Lions' captain Dinesh Mongia struck an unbeaten 72 off 40 balls to seal a comfortable six-wicket win against the Mumbai Champs in Bangalore . Chasing a target of 136, Chandigarh lost opener Manish Sharma in the first over and then slipped to 44 for 4.

Earlier, Delhi had struggled to 135 for 7 off their 20 overs. Opener Robin Morris top scored with 46 but his team kept losing wickets at regular intervals.

Aggressive innings from Royal Bengal Tigers' top three batsmen drove them to 193 for 4 against Ahmedabad Rockets and helped set up a 72-run win in Hyderabad. Deep Dasgupta scored 22 off 17 balls but it was Rajiv Kumar's 79 off 58 balls and Abhishek Jhunjhunwala's 64 off 39 that propelled Bengal to a formidable total. None of Ahmedabad's batsmen got going, Sachin Dholpure's 20 was their highest score, and they were dismissed for 121 in the 19th over. Eklak Ahmid, Mihir Diwakar and Shibsagar Singh took two wickets each for Bengal.
