Naman Ojha pulls off another one-handed catch! Zampa is out for a duck. SRH sneak through. Nehra has his hands aloft in joy. Zampa backed away outside leg, this is a yorker speared outside off, Zampa slashes and manages an outside edge. Ojha dives full-length to his right and completes another one-hander. A four could have resulted in a super over. T20 is a game of small margins. As is turns out, Sunrisers go top with this thriller. Supergiants have close to no chance of making the playoffs

11.40pm MS Dhoni: Losing close games; it is a tough one to digest. There are a few things not working in our favour. The three games we have won comfortably, the ones we have lost have been in the last over. New-ball bowling was good today and we did well to restrict them to 137. If you compare their bowling attack to ours, they can exploit the conditions more. We lost Jinx quite early and kept losing wickets. Zampa was fantastic. We wanted him to feature in the initial XI, but the combination was tough. We probably played with the best XI in the first three matches. Zampa is a good find and he is somebody who can give is stability. This was one game where we kept getting wickets.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Purple cap holder: Initially I look to swing the ball and that's what happened. The talk is the middle to believe in ourselves. Ojha got an amazing catch. If that was a four, that would have been a tie.
David Warner: That was a very close match. I thought we were 25-30 runs below par. The way the bowlers bowled was fantastic.Great bunch of coaches and support-staff. Naman missed one through the legs but has been phenomenal. My Australian team-mate Zampa is a fantastic legspinner. To bowl the last over in the innings is phenomenal. Credit to him.
Zampa, Man of the Match: It has not sunk in. Disappointing end to the game. There is also pressure and batsmen come hard. Legspinners are always in the game. Dhoni just picked up the ball and threw the last over to me. MS just told me Hooda's strength was leg side and asked me to bowl outside off. It worked. We have obviously had a hard season but Flem is keeping it together. Playing the IPL has been a different experience.
Nehra: I have bowled so many last overs for India. He (Dhoni) hit a good shot but I surprised him with that bouncer. If we don't have injuries, we can go far ahead in the tournament. The great thing about Warner is he gives confidence.
Shyam kumar: "Bringing the man at 45 inside circle, and bowling bouncer to Dhoni as a surprise package is excellent strategy by captain warner and executed well by Nehra"
ramu: "Great to see that roar by yuvi after the last wicket."
shaheed shaikh: "Zampa for MoM!!!"
Anupam: "Vintage old SRH, defending 130s. Absolute cracker."
Phew, that was fun. I shall leave you with the points table Thanks for your company and comments. Ciao. Cheers!
