The Rockets lose by three runs with seven wickets in hand!! They'll be really disappointed. They were 113 for 1 at one stage but Damien Martyn and Murray Goodwin, despite some lusty blows during the latter half of the partnership, struggled to get things going, and left too much to get with too little to come for the batsmen who followed. Sodhi played a superb knock and got his team to within three runs of the target, but the acceleration should have come much earlier.

Interestingly, Ambati Rayudu has been given the man-of-the-match award for his brilliant diving catch to dismiss Damien Martyn, who had added 59 with Murray Goodwin to take his team to a comfortable 113 for 1. Had the two continued on, the result may well have been different
