can you ask for a better delivery than a high full toss on middle when the entire field is in? No, you can't. This one is a juicy one, Cutting swipes that across the line towards deep midwicket boundary.

Full commentary
Thanks for you company, folks. Do hop over to the other tab for Mumbai Indians' vital clash against Delhi Daredevils, where Zaheer Khan has won the toss and elected to bowl first. Cheers!
Hashim Amla is the Player of the Match for his 56-ball 96. "It was nice to get some runs, but I'm disappointed we lost. Yuvraj played an exceptional knock to get his side over the line. I came from not hitting too many balls back home to the IPL, so it was good to get some runs. Happy to get this award, but hopefully we can get some wins in our remaining games. You have to play differently in T20s, there's no doubt about it. You have to be prepared to take risks. Sometimes it works for you, at other times it doesn't.
David Warner: I was a bit worried after the bowling display. We thought 16-165 was par, credit to Hashim Amla, it was a fantastic knock. The surface wasn't bad, it was just slow, so it was hard as a bowling unit to adapt to those conditions. It was fantastic for youngster Deepak Hooda to come out and play the way he did, and then Yuvraj Singh, who has won so many matches for India.
Here's a look at the points table
Mounika: "Wow! Who would have thought SRH would be the first team into the playoffs? Surely not even SRH fans would have thought that. The underdogs did it!" Well, there could be a scenario where five teams finish on 16. So let's just say all but through for now.
7:35pm Sunrisers Hyderabad are all but through to the knockouts with that win. And it's local boy Yuvraj Singh who has done it for the visitors in his hometown. The loss means Kings XI Punjab become the second team after Rising Pune Supergiants to be eliminated.
Mayank Aggarwal: "This match shows how consistency and adaptability is the key. Mohit kept bowling slower balls which, batsmen, eventually started picking. Once hit for runs off slower balls, Mohit panicked and we all know what happened next."
David Warner set the tone, Deepak Hooda consolidated, and Yuvraj then teed off in the end. Kings XI were briefly in it, but the Sharmas, who they have relied so heavily on, had an off day and that had a bearing on the end result. What that also means is a Hashim Amla special has been consigned to being second best.

full toss on middle, he walks across the stumps and flicks it straight to fine leg, squeezes a single. A direct hit from Miller at the bowler's end and Yuvraj was gone

Mohit to Yuvraj, no run
angles it full and back into the stumps, Yuvraj looks to jam his bat down to keep that out, but is late on the stroke
Can he finish this off Dhoni style, with a six? Mohit to bowl from around the stumps

Mohit to Yuvraj, SIX runs
bye bye ball. He's hit that into neighboring Chandigarh. Length ball, right in the slot for Yuvraj's trademark swing that sends the ball soaring over deep midwicket. Generates tremendous power off the bottom hand, and this was another example of that. What a knock he's played here tonight.

Sandeep to Cutting, SIX runs
three good balls would amount to nothing if the fourth one is a full and wide half-volley outside off. Cutting clears his front leg and then reaches out to get underneath the swing and clobber that over long-off. The roar in the SRH dugout tells you the story

Mohit to Cutting, SIX runs
the slower one, but it was bowled outside off to give Cutting enough time to generate power through that swing of his, clears wide long-on comfortably. The ball was sitting up nicely for him to play the shot. Poor bowling this. They are running away with the game
Jithen: "It always feels like the swagger is back when he performs well just like when Irfan does well. But I remember Yuvraj's strike rate being close to 150 a couple of years back, his strike rate now is down to 130 in a couple of years. That shows how much he has fallen. But gladly looking forward to a revival."

Mohit to Yuvraj, FOUR runs
he's picked the gap between short third man and backward point to perfection. It wasn't all that bad a delivery, Yuvraj made most of the little bit of width on offer to play the fierce cut. The opened bat face at the last moment allowed him to pick the gap.

Mohit to Yuvraj, SIX runs
he's muscled that 20 rows back over deep midwicket. Picks his spot, waits for the slower one to slide into him and then generates tremendous power in the swing to clear the ropes. The flow on that stroke was simply out of this world. Shades of the past, surely
