gets in the yorker on off stump, JP can only punch it all along the ground to long-off. Steyn gets the ball and doesn't even bother throwing.
SRH vs Daredevils, 12th match at Dubai, IPL, Apr 25 2014 - Match Result
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
he walks down and smashes the low full toss over long-off! JP Duminy, hit one more of those and we have our first Super Over of the IPL
Rohan Naik: "Goregaon: One Kumar did it yeaterday, lets see how well the other do today!!" Two sixes to tie the game
comes down again but the low full toss can only be hit down to long-off
goes for the yorker again but this was a full toss with ample width, Tiwary has skipped down the track and smashed it over point. What a shot!
what a time to bowl a yorker! JP's in immense form and yet he's been duped. Goes for the whack through the on side and gets stuck on the back boot
Around the wicket
slower ball well outside off, Tiwary reaches out and pushes it into the covers. Had he left that it would have been a wide
Ratna (SRH Supp: "Vikas Kitchen Again please... I smell Split milk....." Bhuvi has to soak in all the pressure now. Dhawan is in deep conversation with him. Tiwary is pacing at the batsman's end. Long-off is back, fine leg is up
finds the yorker on leg stump, Tiwary was backing away and gets a thick outside edge that goes down to deep third man. They've taken the single. JP will not be on strike, with 20 off 6 required
low full toss just outside off, JP steers it to extra cover for a single
JP is in red hot form! This was short and wide and he hoists it over point. Last time he took to Morkel, now it's Steyn
Vikas: "ok, this isnt cool man... everytime I go to the kitchen, something changes in the game. I went to the kitchen with KP and DK on the crease. "
that's a terrific ball seeking the base of middle, Tiwary clips it through to midwicket
this was full and outside off, Tiwary walks across and laps him to the right of short fine leg. That's a very brave shot, considering he was almost taking his eyes off the ball
back of a length, he swings off his feet and misses extravagantly outside off. Shades of that last over against NZ in the World T20
Dhawan, Sammy and Steyn are in the midst of a conference
shortish and outside off, Tiwary has no intention of getting in line and cuts. Goes aerial and away to the sweeper
tossed up outside off, Tiwary launches it over the top of extra cover but he has not timed it at all
he's overstepped on the googly, JP steers it behind point for a single
oh my! He shuffled across and slog swept the flighted delivery into the stands behind midwicket. That was a majestic hit
JPD has to finish another game for Daredevils
flighted outside off, he hacks it away to deep midwicket
races down the track and smashes this over long-on. That's a pretty big blow in the context of the game
googly, tossed up just outside off. He mistimes a drive into the covers
SRH in trouble, call Steyn. He's changed the complexion of this game, but can the rest back him up. It's 49 off 18 and here's Mishi
good length ball with a hint of away shape, Tiwary gets an outside edge that wanders down to third man
Tiwary is the new batsman, wonder if he remembers those dropped catches
