That's it from me for this game, but hop over to the other game and I will be there for the second game!

************

Hussain: "Its ironic....just before the Mishra over, you wrote "one last word on the hatrick question"..."

Srinivasa Raju: "Sunrisers is the only team in this IPL that never looked like winning a match ( ofcourse because of their batting) .But they have already won 4 ( which is the total wins after 16 matches last time). And all that changed was the name of the franchise"

and if Mathews himself calls the act today as a choke, then I guess it's only fair others can too: Rahat: "The name CHOKERS officially could be handed over to WARRIORS."

Presentation time at Pune:

Angelo Mathews: I thought we had the game till the last five overs, got off to a brilliant start in the bowling but we choked up again. We got to be consistent to move on from here, it was disappointing to throw a game like this which was in our hand. Nine more games to turn things around.

Cameron White: Phew, I am not sure what happened there. Got wickets as and when we needed and then Mishy did his job. In small chases it was important to not leave Ishant and Steyn till the last.

Amit Mishra, man of the match: Cam said to me that I should go for the wickets and I got a hat-trick. Its a great feeling, working together, supporting each other. I am not trying for any more tricks, want to keep it simple.

************

The Pune dugout is stunned. Absolutely stunned. It's taken more than a minute for anyone from that dugout to even stand up. Marsh, who's wicket started that collapse looks dead. If at all you wanted a definition of hara-kiri, you should watch the highlights of this game.

Mishra has come up with an all-round performance of a life-time, he came in to bat at 44/6 and scored 30 from 24 balls. Then followed it up with figures of 4/19 in four overs, all his wickets coming in his last over!

Mishra to Dinda, OUT

hat-trick! Mishra gets three in three and Pune have been rolled over! this was a good ball, a googly, it came into the batsman and beats the defensive stroke from Dinda, rattles the stumps.

Ashok Dinda b Mishra 0 (1b 0x4 0x6 1m) SR: 0

Five wickets off the last 12 balls. Mishra is on a hat-trick, for his third hat-trick in IPL career.

18.5
W
Mishra to Sharma, OUT

and gone, bowled! they are swinging hard but barely connecting, you cannot do this! it was fuller and Rahul wanted to slog it over mid-wicket for a six, not a tap away for a single but wanted to smash a six, clean bowls him.

Rahul Sharma b Mishra 0 (1b 0x4 0x6 1m) SR: 0
18.4
W
Mishra to Bhuvneshwar, OUT

and given out lbw now! Its Rauf again! that's an excellent delivery, fuller, googly, beats the inside edge of the bat and hits the batsman's pads, there's another loud, long appeal and Rauf thinks like he's attempting a tough mathematics puzzle before giving it out.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar lbw b Mishra 0 (1b 0x4 0x6 1m) SR: 0
18.3
1
Mishra to Pandey, 1 run

fullish from Mishra and driven down the ground to long-on for a single

18.2
W
Mishra to Angelo Mathews, OUT

goes for a biggie and goes back to the pavillion! whatever's happening at Pune? It was flighted from Mishra, Mathews, the captain, tries to smoke it over long-off and what he does instead is gets an outside edge, goes straight to the fielder in the deep!

Angelo Mathews c Steyn b Mishra 20 (24b 1x4 0x6 46m) SR: 83.33

1
Mishra to Pandey, 1 run

driven through the covers for a single to the sweeper fielder

So 14 needed from 12 balls. One last word on the hat-trick question: Aaron: "William Clarke (1798-1856) is believed to be the only player ever to take a first-class hat-trick that included the same batsman twice (i.e., John Fagge, the hat-trick spanning both Kent innings).

slower from Perera and pushed into the covers for a single

the length does not change and the batsman is able to push it into the covers, not for runs though

Perera to Pandey, FOUR runs

this is way better shot from Pandey, it was short too but the batsman was going back to play it, whacks it over mid-wicket for a four

17.3
Perera to Pandey, no run

they continue to pepper them with the short balls and the batsman has no option but to defend it on the back foot

17.2
W
Perera to Nayar, OUT

another short one gets another wicket! another poor shot, another wicket, and he's gone caught at mid-on. Short of length, came on quickly on to the batsman who fails to keep it down, easily lobs up for the fielder

Abhishek Nayar c Samantray b Perera 0 (2b 0x4 0x6 1m) SR: 0
17.1
Perera to Nayar, no run

shortish ball and it jags back into the batsman too, who defends it off the back foot, not for a run

W
Steyn to Marsh, OUT

top-edged and caught! that was nearly a 149 km/hr delivery and Marsh was looking to take Steyn on, gets high on the bat and the hurried pull lands straight into the hands of the deep square-leg fielder, poor shot with the victory in sight.

Mitchell Marsh c Ashish Reddy b Steyn 14 (13b 1x4 1x6 19m) SR: 107.69

FifthBeatle: "Merv Hughes and Jermaine Lawson also have hat-tricks spread across two innings in the match, but neither got the same batsman twice. It's happened in first-class cricket though."

16.5
Steyn to Marsh, no run

shortish again and at some pace from Steyn but Marsh does well to push it to the off side

16.4
1
Steyn to Angelo Mathews, 1 run

shorter again and easily pulled away to the leg side for a single

16.3
Steyn to Angelo Mathews, no run

length ball from Steyn and Mathews was looking to play a very strange-looking stroke, wanted to flick it away but it's outside the off, and he misses

16.2
1
Steyn to Marsh, 1 run

bouncer that does not rise as high as Steyn would have liked, manages to pull it to fine-leg for a single

16.1
4
Steyn to Marsh, FOUR runs

short of length and wow, that's been pulled, scratch that, smacked by Marsh through the wide mid-on region for a four!

Dale Steyn with a shot at redemption.

25 needed from 24 with time-out time.

pankaj: "Has it ever occured in Test, that a bowler completes hat-trick across the two innings and got the wicket of same batsman twice?" There was one from Courtney Walsh hat-trick across two innings and then there was another from Jimmy Matthew way back in 1912 who got two hat-tricks in the same match with Tommy Ward getting out twice!
