Dhawan finishes the chase with back-to-back fours. He swings outside leg, Praveen chases him. The opener creams a drive through the covers. He twirls his mustache.

11.40pm The Sunrisers bowlers set up the win, exploiting a two-paced pitch to smother Lions to 126 for 6. Dhawal and Bravo impressed with the ball, but Dhawan dropped anchor and carried the hosts home with 47 off 40 balls. This means that Sunrisers jump back to the top half of the table.
11.45pm Suresh Raina, Lions captain: We still bowled pretty well. Last few games we did not take wickets in the first six overs. We did today, but Shikhar batted well and finished it. We just need to be more positive with the batting plan. Hodge and DJ Bravo and Heath Streak have been giving tips to the players. I don't know what's with Finch. PK, Shivil and DJ Bravo did well and Kolkata pitch will be slow.
David Warner, Sunrisers captain: The batters got the job done. We lost a couple of wickets early but Shikhar was fantastic for us. I don't think it was a 124 [126]wicket. 150 would have been par. I am pleased with the way the bowlers are doing the job. Thanks to the crowd for supporting us.
Bhuvneshwar, Man of the Match: Being a new ball bowler, you take 2-3 early wickets and do the damage. I look to swing the ball and it is not easy to hit the bowlers in T20s. I ate three or four insects (smiles). It went down the throat. I don't tell anything to Mustafizur. His slower balls are difficult and he is the one taking pressure off me and Nehra in the death overs.
Sameer: "So SRH do double over GL.."
That is all we have for you from his game. Do tune in for the double-header tomorrow. Goodbye and cheers!
