Thanks for joining us for coverage of this match. Hope you enjoyed it. That's it from us tonight. Good night, folks.

11.50pm Rashid's six the difference? Morgan's dropped catch? That single off the last ball of the 18th over? It could be a whole bunch of things based on logic. But why should we adulterate this bizzare match with logic? It's a game to remember. Vohra might be the only one who is disappointed tonight. At least he'll have Stoinis to give him company.

Vishal: "Feeling bad for Vohra. Highest score of his T20 career and still couldn't get his team home. Will hurt him for quite a sometime."

Kabir: "5 wickets is equal to 100 runs , this was the difference between Bhuvi and Mannan, the difference between winning and loosing"



Sashi Kurucheti: "A true testimony of why the good old yorker is still the best bowling weapon in any format.. Bhuvi and Kaul win it with a couple for SRH.."

Steven: "At this rate Bhuvi is going to run away with the purple cap!"

vijay: "Spare a thought for Vohra...he scored 95 runs on a difficult pitch, read googlies of Rashid Khan correctly, did every thing, but lack of support from another end is made him to end in losing side...second highest in the team is 13..says valuable and one of the greatest innings of IPL he played"

Mash: "In the end, Rashid Khans six off the last ball proved vital."

Bhuvi: My heart is still pounding. T20 is a game where you must expect the unexpected. I've been doing this job for Sunrisers and I knew I had to bowl the 19th over. I'm used to it and I believed in myself. When I bowled the 16th or 17th over, I knew he was in good nick. I wasn't worried but wanted to make a plan instead. Warner and I planned to bowl straight yorkers and it worked.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar is the Man of the Match.

Warner: Unbelievable game of cricket. Credit to Manan for playing like that. Credit to Bhuvi too, he was unbelievable. Manan made it look easy when he cleared the ropes. He had to dig infor his team. Unfortunately only one team can win. It's great to have Bhuvi in the shed at the back end and he executed perfectly.

11.40pm Have you caught your breath? This was some game. Manan Vohra - remember when he was Punjab's strange choice for player retention a couple of seasons ago? They'd seen something. And we've seen it today, even if it isn't around for regular viewing. What an innings. The presentation shortly.

Maxwell: An outstanding game, made by a great innings by Vohra. Unfortunately he didn't have help from the rest of us. It was definitely chase-able. We did well in the middle with the ball but let is slip in the back end. To play an innings like that in a losing cause is criminal. He's a superstar. A big score like that was around the corner for him.
We knew bhuvi was going to swing it around a bit. We didn't expect the wicket to be so up and down and he bowled good lengths. We had planned for him and Rashid, but giving seven wickets to them probably did us in. We wanted to take off and get 60 in the Powerplay, but it didn't come off.

Kaul to Sharma, OUT

Kaul has shattered the off stump! After all the length balls and the wides, Kaul has found the yorker. Ishant looks to slice this past point but that is too good for him. Kaul has his arms outstretched as he runs wild through the off side. He's tackled by Yuvraj Singh. It's been an all-Punjab star cast for this final phase of the game...just not the IPL franchise.

Kaul to Sharma, no run

oh god. Low full toss at off stump, he's tapped it straight back to the bowler with a high elbow

short fine, backward square, point, extra cover are in

no, no, no, no. Not there. He looks nervous. Bowls it full and wide down the leg side

7 off 4. India's designated Test nightwatchman on strike.

Kaul to Sandeep, 1 wide

slower ball, outside off stump. Was that wide? Looked like it has just come back in from the marker, but it's given. He was looking to hit this over the midwicket boundary

Kaul to Sandeep, 2 runs

oh what a shot! These Punjab team-mates will have a lot to talk about after this! He's across the off stump and waiting on one knee. Kaul bowls a length ball and Sandeep has managed to lift it over Sran at short fine. He gives chase and nearly fumbles in his eagerness to hold on

11 off 6. How did it come to this? It is likely that one of Kaul and Sran will bowl this....yes. It's Kaul.

Bhuvneshwar to Vohra, OUT

it's a five-for for Bhuvi! And surely that's the match for Sunrisers. It has been truly special from Vohra, one of the the great IPL innings without a doubt. But that has masked what Bhuvi has done at the other end. Low full toss at middle stump, right in front of middle stump as he misses the flick

Ishant brings sense to the middle, along with a grin. Maintains his balance, gets behind the line of this length ball at off stump, and taps it through the covers to turn over the strike

Bhuvneshwar to Cariappa, OUT

this was coming! The only explanation is that Vohra has asked him to play his shots. Bhuvi delivers the perfect yorker at leg stump. Cariappa steps out, plays all around it and loses his stumps.

finally gets one in the slot, but they can't get the second. This is good length at off stump, he backs away and gets bat on this thump on the up. It's to extra cover's right who puts in a hand just in time to parry it to long-off who does really well to keep it down to one

Cariappa not easing the pressure on Vohra at the other end

this is a yorker at middle stump. Bat turns in his hands as he meets it on the full to turn it to deep square leg off the bottom of the bat

Kaul to Vohra, 2 runs

full and angled in at middle stump, jams it in front of deep midwicket with soft hands and returns for the second the way Warner had done throughout his innings

Kaul to Vohra, 2 runs

low full toss, tails in sharply at middle stump and causes him discomfort. He has shuffled too much and just about gets the inside half of the bat on this. It runs past short fine but there's a deep backward square
