So there we go, the first thriller is done but it's a double-header today so do shift over and tune into the action at Chennai Super Kings v Mumbai Indians. This is Alagappan Muthu saying sayonara

Aaron Finch is the Man of the Match "Nice, slow start to the tournament. Remained positive and in this kind of format when we get on a winning streak it can last. The wicket we knew would be hard for the new batters and we made a conscious effort to bat long. It's T20, you cant win them all as long as we can win them when it counts we're happy"

"Finally we are off the mark, Great feeling to win and we needed it to boost our confidence. We knew we had the people and we just needed to click," Dhawan says, "Started off with a great partnership and Aaron and Warner too us through. Moody is very fit and gives his beautiful lectures and we have mentors to motivate the players. Anyday, me [on the winner of the contest of moustaches with Ravi Jadeja]"

"Great game of cricket," says Pietersen. "Very close. Not that far off [from getting a win]. Quinny and Vijay started well but credit to Finchy, he played fantastically and Warner also chipped in. He doesn't like being lethargic in the first six overs. Says they have to get into the game early and take the momentum. "Hand is good as gold, proved in the dismissal. Shouldn't have hit it that far. Fantastic to be back. Just have to get over the line in a couple of the nailbiters and will be back"

Prashant: "There is no point blaming KP and Co batting at the moment.. The total was huge to chase! Need to focus on bowling department! "

5.45 pm They have over 9 an over to chase, but their best batsman has faced only seven balls in the innings. Daredevils need to chalk out a better strategy than that. The openers laid a decent platform, but an out of form KP and a lack of acceleration in the death set up Sunrisers' first win of the season
