Margin of Wins in IPL

Just got curious how the winning margins were in the all 5 editions of IPL combined (from 2008 to 2012).  So, I drew the frequency pattern (statistically speaking - histogram) for the margins in terms of both runs and wickets.  This is how it looks like:


As people expect and want, most of the matches are close contests - with the teams winning by 1-20 runs. 
In this analysis - I have not taken the tied matches into account.  And, in the chasing wins, most do so comfortably by 4 to 7 wickets to spare.

Interesting to look these completely different distributions!
