IPL 2016 : Sunrisers Hyderabad beat Gujarat Lions by 4 wickets

So, the Sunrisers Hyderabad will face off Royal Challengers Bangalore in the finals at the Chinnaswamy stadium, Bangalore, on Sunday. Do join us then, as we bring you live coverage of the concluding match of this IPL. Thank you, and Good Night!

Warner:"It is pretty overwhelming, this. I tried to stay in the middle for a partnership. I knew if one of us would be there, then we could win. Credit goes to Bipul for the way he batted. He has been bowling well and his work ethic is fantastic. It was my turn to take the home this time. There can be a few emotions here and there because of silly errors. We have to come back stronger than the last time we played against RCB. Kohli, what a player he is. If he fails, then there is AB deVilliers. It is all about a gameplan against them."

DAVID WARNER is the MAN OF THE MATCH.

Suresh Raina: "They played really well. Warner batted well, this score was defendable. Shivil bowled well in patches. Was an enjoyable campaign, new team and thanks to all the fans and the support staff. Good luck to RCB and SRH. Hodge is a wonderful person, both on and off the person, keeps the dressing room calm."

It will a battle of the southern states for the IPL crown. SRH will take on RCB on Sunday.

This chase was always going to be centred around David Warner and boy did he deliver on the big day. Wickets kept tumbling at the other end, he kept his calm all through and took his team through and carried his bat too. Bipul Sharma came out and smoked 3 sixes to ease pressure and Warner got the job done.

Gujarat tried their best, picked up key wickets but could not get through Warner. Take a bow captain.

19.2 Praveen to Warner, FOUR, but only a single is counted! SRH WIN! Outside off again, he waits for it and slashes it past the infield, and roars in delight! What a captain's knock that!

19.1 Praveen to Warner, FOUR! Gets a full ball on the leg stump, backs away and squeezes it past cover. Punches his fist in celebration.

Only 5 runs needed from the final over.

18.6 Bravo to Bipul Sharma, SIX! That is a massive strike! Gets underneath a full ball and thwacks it hard and long over long on. That went very high and very deep into the stands.

18.5 Bravo to Warner, 1 run, slow full toss on the off stump, slashed to deep cover for one.

18.4 Bravo to Warner, FOUR! Slow outside off again, he comes down and cuts it past point for a crucial boundary. Very poor from Bravo bowling it wide and this time Finch cannot cut that ball. SRH romping home.

18.3 Bravo to Warner, 2 runs, low full toss outside off, drilled to deep cover where the fielder makes a breathtaking one handed save. Incredible fielding from Finch.

18.2 Bravo to Warner, 2 runs, slow on the stumps, works it to midwicket and runs hard for two. Brilliant running by Warner.

18.1 Bravo to Warner, FOUR! Slashes hard at a slow ball outside off, gets a thick edge that goes past short third man. That was slow alright but has plenty of width, slashed hard by Warner.

Bravo in!

Bipul Sharma has already played a vital innings. This is a real humdinger. 24 needed from 2 overs.

17.6 Dhawal to Bipul Sharma, 2 runs, slices a full ball over the point infield to get two valuable runs.

17.5 Dhawal to Bipul Sharma, SIX! What a shot! Walks across and scoops a low full toss over deep backward square leg. Nonchalant from Bipul. Walks across and then scoops the ball over fine leg. Lovely and Warner is pumped too at the non-strikers end.

Top bowling from Dhawal, keeping the ball away from the reach of the batsmen.

17.4 Dhawal to Warner, 1 run, chases a full ball outside off to deep point.

17.3 Dhawal to Warner, no run, Warner advances down but Dhawal bowls his wide of off stump.

17.2 Dhawal to Bipul Sharma, 1 run, slices a full ball to third man to give Warner strike.

17.1 Dhawal to Bipul Sharma, no run, outside off stump, way out of the batsman's reach.

Wow, some aggression from Praveen. This is spicing up nicely. Karthik intervenes and takes Praveen away.

16.6 Praveen to Warner, no run, in the blockhole, Warner can't get it away.

David Warner was visibly pissed off in the strategic timeout!

16.5 Praveen to Bipul Sharma, 1 run, slow ball on the off, lobs back over the bowler's head to long off.

This is smart batting from Bipul Sharma.

16.4 Praveen to Bipul Sharma, 2 runs, full ball on the stumps, he tucks it to midwicket and runs hard for two.

16.3 Praveen to Bipul Sharma, SIX! Gets a slot ball, goes underneath it and launches it over long off with a nice flourish of the bat. He has the ability to cream sixes, did it against KKR too. Smokes a half volley over long off.

16.2 Praveen to Bipul Sharma, 2 runs, shuffles across and works a full ball to midwicket.

16.1 Praveen to Bipul Sharma, no run, full ball outside off to start with, Bipul can't make any contact with it.

Praveen Kumar into the attack!

Probably Gujarat Lions ahead but game certainly not over

15.6 Bravo to Bipul Sharma, 1 run, full ball on the legs, gets it away to short fine leg.

Bipul Sharma in!

Gujarat Lions are now in the driver's seat and now it is only Warner who stands between Gujarat and a victory.

TIMEOUT!

15.5 Bravo to Ojha, OUT! Bravo misses the yorker, but takes the wicket! Low full toss, Ojha doesn't get enough power to hoist it over the fence, the ball is gobbled up by the deep midwicket fielder. This is the day when Bravo has come back to form. This is an excellent over and now picks up the wicket to boot.

15.4 Bravo to Ojha, no run, yorker outside off, pitches in the crease, Ojha cant make contact with it.

15.3 Bravo to Warner, 1 run, full toss this time, worked to deep midwicket for a single.

15.2 Bravo to Warner, no run, in the blockhole again, he manages to put his bat down and dig it back to Bravo.

15.1 Bravo to Warner, no run, slow yorker that, dips in sharply and bamboozles Warner. Slips through his legs. Bravo appeals and he is shocked at the decision.

Big over... 19 runs from the over. SRH have stormed back in. Dwayne Smith taken to the cleaners.

14.6 Smith to Ojha, SIX! Short ball, but doesnt have pace, Ojha picks up the length and pulls it flat over deep midwicket. This is poor bowling from Smith, dragging it and bowling slow. Ojha is a clean striker and he is pumped too.

14.5 Smith to Warner, 1 run, on the pads this time, he tucks it to deep midwicket for a single.

14.4 Smith to Warner, FOUR! Full toss on the off, he slices it past point for a four. Lovely use of the bat, opens the bat at just the opportune time to find the gap.

14.3 Smith to Warner, SIX! Slow outside off, he clears his front leg and gets enough power to muscle it over long off. Flat almost skimmed the surface. He has almost flat batted it just over long off. What power, what bat!
