That is it from this match, but we another crunch game coming up from Vizag, Mumbai vs Delhi, and Mumbai are batting first. Hop on to the live coverage.
Hashim Amla is the MAN OF THE MATCH: "Nice to get some runs, unfortunate not to win, but Yuvraj was special. Hopefully we can get wins in the next few games. You have to take risks early on."
David Warner: "160-165 was a par total. The wicket was slow, both sides were effective with the slower ball, as a batsman you have to adapt to the conditions. It is hard to contant he twos, fantastic fro Hooda, and Yuvraj was phenomenal. I felt like I was outside leg stump, but smacked the stumps."
SRH beat KXIP by 7 wickets. The Sunrisers are sitting pretty on the top of the table now! This wasn't an easy game for them by any stretch of imagination, chasing 180 in Mohali was never going to be easy but they did this well. They got off to a solid start, thanks to their openers. Dhawan ran himself out, Warner got himself out hitwicket after his 6th fifty this season. Hooda chipped in with a cameo, Cutting did too but Yuvraj's cameo of 42 was most impressive. Great signs for the Sunrisers as they are surely heading to the playoffs now. For Punjab, this was a valiant effort but like the story of their season, they couldn't get across the line.
19.4 Mohit to Cutting, FOUR, GAME SET AND MATCH! Full toss on the pads, launched over mid-wicket,and SRH wins and are almost through to the playoffs. KXIP ousted from the tournament.
19.1 Mohit to Yuvraj, SIX, length ball, Yuvraj sets himself up and that massive swing of the bat, beautiful six over deep mid-wicket! 100 metres, take that! That was in the slot to be hit and hit it, he did. Took the pace on that delivery and absolutely smoked it over midwicket. That has travelled!
18.5 Sandeep to Cutting, no run, slower ball on a length, Cutting looks to slog, misses the ball, good riposte. Cutting eyeing the shorter part of the ground.
18.4 Sandeep to Cutting, SIX, full ball on off, Cutting walks across outside off, sets himself up and swings through the line for a massive maximum! Oh, what a shot. Incredible. Stupendous. 94 metres! The Sunrisers dugout loved that shot. He absolutely got it off the middle, picture perfect.
18.2 Sandeep to Cutting, no run, on off stump and slow, Cutting walks across and looks to slog, missed the ball. Oo, got away with that change of pace.
18.1 Sandeep to Yuvraj, 1 run, slower ball on the pads, Yuvraj sits and swats it to deep square leg where Behardien runs across and fields it well, keeps them to a single.
Just the over the Sunrisers needed after managing only 2 in the previous over. Smash it to all corners of the ground, taking 19 runs. 20 required from 2 now.
17.4 Mohit to Cutting, SIX, slower ball on off, Cutting waits for it and then powers that over long on, read that ball almost a month early! Slower ball, barely reaches the batsman at 110 kmph, Cutting takes on the long boundary and clears it!
17.2 Mohit to Yuvraj, FOUR, short and wide, stunning from Yuvi, stays put and cuts it past point and short third man! So clever. The previous one was all muscle, this was more guile. 10 runs off the first 2 balls!
17.1 Mohit to Yuvraj, SIX, length ball, Yuvraj shuffles and sets himself up and smacks it off the middle of the bat clean over mid-wicket! Incredible shot. Picks it up early and just dispatches it to the shorter side of the ground. He loves that midwicket area!
What an over from Axar given the context of the game! Only 2 conceded. Advantage Punjab now? 4 overs - 26 runs - 1 wicket for Axar. 39 required from 3 now!
15.6 Sandeep to Hooda, OUT, length ball, Hooda looks to swat that across, but he did not get the required distance, Miller runs in and takes a smart catch at deep mid-wicket! Sandeep ends Hooda's cameo. Might have just lost his wicket at the wrong time. Mistake targeting the longer boundary. The batsman coming in will have to find his touch right away.
15.4 Sandeep to Yuvraj, SIX, length ball angling in, Yuvraj plants the front foot and smacks it high and mighty over long on! This was more typical. Slower ball, reads it early, smashes it into the Mohali skies, ball takes a nice tour of the stadium and comes back down. Goes very high.
15.3 Sandeep to Hooda, 1 run, short ball on on off, slapped to short cover, who hits the stumps at the strikers end, but Yuvi is in. Yuvi gave himself out, but he underestimated himself, in easy.
14.6 Stoinis to Hooda, FOUR, another slow ball bumper, Hooda shuffles to the off side, waits for it and then scoops it with both feet off the ground over short fine leg! Hooda just launched into that shot, not very pretty, but very brutal! Stoinis probably over did it with another slower ball, Hooda knew it was coming.
14.5 Stoinis to Yuvraj, 1 run, slower ball, Yuvraj shuffles and the scoops it to short fine leg, no pace to work with. Would have been better if he just stayed in his crease and swatted it away, didn't look good trying to play the deft shot.
14.3 Stoinis to Hooda, FOUR, slower ball on off, Hooda looks to slog that across, top edge scoots away to third man, heroic attempt by Sandeep Sharma to prevent the boundary but to no avail.
