Yesterday (22^nd day of the ongoing T20 tournament) two matches were scheduled but second match was abandoned due to heavy pouring and the points are distributed between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK).

IPL lovers, especially Chris Gayle’s die-hard fans, might have been disappointed by the match abandoning; but the fact just helped both teams to move upward on the points table. RCB has moved from 6^th to 4^th; while CSK has jumped to 3^rd spot right from 5^th.

The first match of the day between Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) and Mumbai Indian (MI) was also proved to be a real T20 thriller; as Mumbai emerges as the victorious in the end. Brilliant half century by Rohit Sharma (50 off 30) and almost perfect finishing by Ambati Rayudu (34 off 17) led Mumbai to much needed victory after losing last two matches in the row. First one, they lost against Delhi Daredevils on April 16 and the second one against KXIP on April 22.

Mumbai got the most important 2 points but couldn’t improve their position on points table, placed at 7^th spot. Complete team positions and updated points table are presented above.
