That is the end of another double header Sunday. See you tomorrow. Good night

Miller is Man of the Match. Miller: "Mandy unbelievable knock, going right through the innings. We tried to play each ball on its merit. We tried to give ourselves a chance in the end. It probably is [the best I have batted in a T20 game]."

Gilchrist: "Difficult decision at the toss, looked like a beautiful wicket. Great chase, you are dealing with small boundaries on one side and big on the other, you are trying to balance it out. Vohra played an important little innings there."

Finch: "Brilliant from Miller and Mandeep. We had a pretty competitive total, just one of those games where it is a couple of inches here and there. Took a gamble bowling Dinda in the 19th over to try and seal it there but you have guys who can hit it out any time."

They's chased 185 with seven wickets to spare, from 5 for 2. Got tight in the final over, but Mandeep and Miller deserved this one. Sooner or later, Mandeep has to play for India. Thankfully, his IPL performances are only one part of his CV. Miller clinched it though

Mandeep Singh: "Feel amazing. We have been waiting for this. We did not bat well through the tournament. Miller took the pressure off me, I was rotating it and he was hitting them. I have been preparing for long, wanted to play the full 20 overs. Want to dedicate this to my grandma who passed away two months back."

Shaun Marsh in for Gilchrist, and this becomes a serious line-up

Reagen: "How Wright won and lost the game for Pune in a matter of few hours!!!!!!!"
