We have just passed the halfway mark in the Vivo IPL 2016. After a great run chase by the Kolkata Knight Riders in a final over thriller last night, we take a look at the other chases this season that have gone down to the wire.
Early in the season, Kolkata was stunned when Mumbai chased down their total with five balls to spare. Rohit Sharma opened the batting for Mumbai and remained not out in a match that saw Knight Rider Andre Russel hit for 52 runs, in his four overs.
In the 19th and 20th match of the tournament, the Gujarat Lions and Kolkata Knight Riders both batted second and won, each with just 3 balls to spare. The former match saw a century from RCB’s Virat Kholi but he was let down by his teams bowling and fielding effort.
Half way through the Vivo @IPL, with the debutant Lions topping the table!
