That brings us to the end of our live coverage from Onecricket and Cricket Exchange. We have a double header in store tomorrow. KKR vs DC at 3:30 pm and MI vs PBKS at 7:30 pm. Will be huge games for KKR, MI and Punjab. Do join us tomorrow for all the live action. Till then it's ta-ta and goodnight from me, Arya Sekhar Chakraborty and my fellow commentators Akshay Bhide and Anurag Singh. 
Jason Roy is the Player of the Match- It makes me extremely happy. Really grateful for the opportunity. Waiting patient;y for my turn. We have incredible performances today. I am very happy., even more so because we got over the line. I had to kind of access different areas. Was not that free-flowing as is the case with me.

The aim was to get as close to the target. Saha wss instrumental in that partnership. He got off to an incredible start and allowed me to settle in. We have got to keep our feet very grounded. We have had a tough tournament. Hugely impressive to come out with a performance like this and I hope we can continue the same thing against CSK. 
Kane Williamson, SRH skipper- Yeah its a good feeling. It was a much-improved performance. There was a clarity in the roles and it is nice to be on the right side after a long time. Hopefully as a group we could build on that and we have a few games to see that. Really critical, couple of players who played there which was significant. Sanju batted brilliantly but we closed out very well that gave us a chance. The start was brilliant for us.

We tried to weather the storm in the middle and take it deep. Look Jason is an injection of energy any team he plays for. He has been in the sideline for a long time but whenever he gets his chance he puts his foot forward.  Look we have got a couple of days left before the next game. CSK comes next, top of the table. We have to worry about our cricket and try and improving throughout the backend of the tournament.

Arya: The target of 165 was always going to be tricky for SRH who had absolutely forgot how to team. Desperate times need desperate measures and the first one of the day was dropping former skipper David Warner. Jason Roy was given his maiden break after the restart and he didn't disappoint. The opening duo of Wriddhiman Saha and Jason Roy got SRH off to a flier. They shared a partnership of 57 runs in just 5 overs and ensured that the target was well within the grasp.

Wriddiman Saha was dismissed at the stroke of powerplay but Roy kept up the good work as he found the gaps on a consistent basis. Jason Roy scored a brilliant 60 of 42 deliveries and shared a match-winning stand with the skipper Kane Williamson to take SRH close to the victory target. It wasn't the free-flowing knock at the start of the innings from Roy but he kept stayed there in the middle and eventually the runs started to flow. 

His dismissal came at a crucial time but with Williamson still at the crease, SRH was always going to the favourites. Priyam Garg who got his first chance after the restart fell cheaply. Eventually it was another youngster Abhishek Sharma who steadied the ship along with his skipper and ensured SRH reached the target with relative comfort in the end. Williamson finished off proceedings with back to back boundaries as SRH won their 2nd game of the tournament. 
Abhishek Sharma- I think it was a big opportunity for me. I was waiting for the chance. All I wanted is to contribute for my team and I am happy to do that. We are waiting for this opportunity. If I just get an innings like, contribute for my team.

Williamson is a great captain. His words were boosting me up. I will try to do best next game. I said one but Kane wanted that two and I said no.
Sanju Samson- Actually I think it was a decent score. The wicket was a bit sticky bounce. We could have got 10 or 20 runs more. Yeah you can say that. But the start which we got in the sticky wicket. I wanted to kept on going after the powerplay but we kept losing wickets so I wanted to stay deep and put up a respectable total.

The wicket got better and they played very well. We have to work on both our batting and bowling and execute the plans better. The margin of error is so less in this format. 
Arya: A resounding performance from the Sunrisers Hyderabad as they end up winning the game by 7 wickets and with 9 deliveries to spare. If they do have a good run in the final stage of the tournament, they could well turn out to be the party pooper and stop the progress of other teams to the playoffs. A captain's knock from skipper Kane Williamson as he remained unbeaten on 51 of 41 deliveries to seal the deal for Hyderabad. The victory for SRH makes the mid-table even more interesting. 
18.3 M Rahman to K Williamson
4 Williamson finishes it off in style. Only their 2nd win in this season. Another slower full delivery on the stumps, Williamson swipes across the line and connects it well. Not from the centre of the bat but had enough to find the gap down the deep midwicket region. Completes a brilliant fifty in the process. 
18.2 M Rahman to K Williamson
4 Beautifully timed. Absolutely magnificent from Williamson. Nonchalant whip of the wrist and it whistles off the deck towards the boundary ropes down deep midwicket. Mustafizur ends up bowling a full toss and that is brilliantly played. 
18.1 M Rahman to K Williamson
0 Another slower full delivery outside off and Williamson crunches that well off the frontfoot but finds the cover fielder.
