Delhi beat Kolkata by 44 runs

Delhi Capitals rode on fifties from Prithvi Shaw and David Warner to beat Kolkata Knight Riders by 44 runs at Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai. Chasing 216, Kolkata were bowled out for 171. Shreyas Iyer top-scored for Kolkata with 54, but his teammates could not step up to the occasion.

Earlier, Shaw and Warner added 93 for the opening stand before explosive cameos from Shardul Thakur and Axar Patel propelled them to 215.

Domingo, Langeveldt test positive for Covid-19

Russell Domingo and Charles Langeveldt have been isolated from the rest of the Bangladesh squad after testing positive for Covid-19. Head coach Domingo tested positive midway through the second Test match, while Langeveldt contracted the virus ahead of the game.

'The team's medical personnel immediately instated the standing protocol that was agreed between the Cricket South Africa (CSA) and the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) before the start of the tour,' CSA said in a statement. 'The pair, who are mildly symptomatic, opted to drive home and to quarantine from there.'

Namibia beat Uganda by 52 runs

Simon Ssesazi's half-century went in vain as Namibia beat Uganda by 52 runs. Chasing 186, Uganda were bowled out for 133. J.J. Smit claimed 6-10 and held two catches after slamming 71 in just 35 balls. His knock included four fours and seven sixes.

Ssesazi scored 58 off 47 balls, but there was no support from the other end. With this win, Namibia also claimed the series 2-1.

Rajasthan Royals moved to the top of the points table after defeating Lucknow Super Giants by three runs in a close match at Wankhede Stadium. Asked to chase 166, the Giants were restricted to 162/8.

Earlier, Shimron Hetmyer struck six sixes for his 36-ball 59 to propel Rajasthan to a par total after a sluggish start. Trent Boult then struck twice in his opening over as Lucknow had a poor start. Marcus Stoinis reignited the game with an unbeaten 17-ball 38, but could not take his team across the target.
