7.14pm And that is all from this game. Make sure to join Deiva Muthu in the other one, where KKR have won the toss and elected to bowl. Good night!

Jonny Bairstow: Absolutely over the moon to get us over the line. Been really close in most of the games, and haven't got through. Probably through carelessness to be honest. Pleased to get over the line. Each game we've seen after the powerplay it's gotten harder and harder. It was key to make sure we took advantage (of the powerplay). I don't really need to talk about how good Kane is. That one Moises dropped at covers, to time it like that and not get four...

Jonny Bairstow is the Player of the Match.

Warner: Very pleasing, the bowlers did a fantastic job to reduce them. The game plan of having them there is to anchor the game. He rotates the strike so well. his impact points against spin are there to see. Abhishek is a young guy coming through, we asked him to bowl a lot more this season, and he did it. Till we went on, he didn't know he was bowling the first over. I didn't want to think too much about it. It's all about starting fresh here again, take the wicket out of it.

Kane Williamson: Bit of a minor injury on my elbow. It's feeling pretty good. Nice to be out there and get my first opportunity, but nice mostly to learn from our previous games as a team. A lot of teams are trying to find their best balance, and I think we'll see through the tournament that it'll vary.

KL Rahul: It was tough to adapt but we knew, having watched the games, what to expect. We tried to get used to the conditions as quickly as we could but we were 10-15 runs short. A few batsmen got set and couldn't get those 30s-40s that could get us through. Hopefully we learn from this mistake, we have a game in a few days, hopefully we come and win. We knew that Jonny and David are their key batters, you know they're going to come hard. It's a little tricky to have attacking fields. Was hoping to get one of them and then attack, that was my thinking. Now looking back that could have been different. Every game from now is important for us and we've always been in that situation, where we get in a place where we have to win every game. Not a bad place to be, to be honest.


Shivy: "SRH be like if we struggle with the middle-order, then we simply won't let them play"

Akhil: "Even if SRH had a bad start to the season, this win here has taken them to top of the bottom 4. It does a world of good to their confidence going into the middle phase of the tournament."

Rajesh: "Thank god it's a double header. This match can be wiped from memory and we can look forward to Morgan and Co at Mumbai"

6.54pm A first win of the season for Sunrisers. They've huffed and puffed a little at the end, but that is purely conditions. They looked in control throughout this chase, something they've struggled with in the tournament so far. Their three overseas batters were all that was needed tonight, after the bowlers did superbly to restrict Punjab to 120. From bottom place, they go up to fifth now. Punjab sink into eighth.

17 needed off 18 now. There's one over of Hooda left. Will he go with that one last over of spin? Yes it will. Looks like Kumble had a chat with him at the boundary line and he ran in to take the ball from Rahul.
