11.38pm Rahul Dravid is pumped. Daredevils are too. Mishra undoes his batting effort against RCB by winning them one. What a game, what a finish. Shreyas Iyer will take away so much from this game, and I'm not talking just about his 96. That was a special knock in a tough chase. he hit the highest number of fours in an innings this season. Lions kept chipping away, but some of their bowling was tear-your-hair-out stuff. Their fielding was both exceptional and not-so-good too. It all adds up in a game of fine margins. That was a great game nonetheless.

Shreyas Iyer, the Man of the Match: "I'd have been more happy with finishing the game. I wasn't thinking much about my hundred, i decided at the start I would bat till the end. Hundred doesn't matter, winning the game does. I was just trying to time the ball, was getting the ball in my areas. two matches left, let's hope I get two more Man of the Matches."

Zaheer Khan: "Feels really good to fall on the right side of the result. It's understandable, felt the energy was low, out of the playoffs but we're a professional side. You have to take these things stride and keep working harder. We'd want to win both games, finish on a high. As a team, everything needs to come together."

Suresh Raina: We tried everything. Iyer batted really well. Every over they got 12-14 runs, that was our mistake. Losing a lot of close games. I enjoyed the game. Wicket played really well later on, gave them too many loose balls.

That's the best part of defending high totals, you're never quite out of it because teams have to keep going. Mishra is the new man. Lions in front, me thinks. This ball is reversing. Full and straight?

Last over. Iyer on strike. 9 to get. 8 for a Super Over. Iyer on 96. Thampi to bowl.

Can Faulkner beat the bat? Or get a wicket. Midwicket is back. Third man up. A wide slower ball?

They crossed so Iyer on strike. Lions race in front if they get Iyer out in the next few balls. A single not a bad result for Lions.

Samraat: "DD last 4 matches. 67/allout ,chased 186,chased 209,66/allout and again they are about to chase 196 once again."

Lions need a wicket in the first half of this over. Otherwise this will get away quickly.

Nizam khan: "" GL continues they legacy on lossing while batting first in 12 matches and 1 win from against DD in last year: Poor bowling strategy from Raina""

V: "On some days it feels like DD has the best batting lineup. Aggressive young Indian guys like Pant, Iyer, Samson. On other days they get bowled out for under 70. 1 extremely important thing missing with these youngsters is consistency."

Kishore: "Gone are those days where we use to consider Gayle,Rohit,Yuvi,D Smith,Y Pathan as big hitters ,. Its all the young blood this IPL. Iyer,Samson,Tripati,Rane & Rishab !"

SandeepKamani: "After last game between these 2 teams. Raina:'It was Pant day'. After this game. Raina:'It was Iyer day'."

mak8874: "52 runs has been scored of just 19 balls ,,, what a partnership "

Pudota: "I don't always understand why you don't want batsmen to play more shots just because they got runs in that over. They still need to get runs and should take few risks to get them. So, why not take the risk when you hammered the bowler already and he's low on confidence."

Highest T20 score for Iyer. Thampi.
