- BATSMENRB4s6sSR2.2 this is normal pace, this is short, and Dhawan has picked out mid-on. Wanted to smash it far longer as he rocked back for the pull, but his intention to hit the ball a bit too hard has hurt his timing. Comes off the bottom of the bat. Wry grin as he walks back, knew he should have belted that 19/19.3 and there is proof that Henriques' bat has an edge. Wiese gets it as he bowls the ball wide, trying to evade his reach. The slash over the covers doesn't come out as well as he'd hope, but this has been an innings of immense value for Sunrisers 122/210.6 that's the short ball, to trump the batsman rushing down the pitch. Gets a top edge that is pouched at long-off. 135/3Extras7 (lb 2, nb 2, w 3)TOTAL135/3 (11 Overs, RR: 12.27)Fall of wickets: 1-19 (Shikhar Dhawan, 2.2 ov), 2-122 (Moises Henriques, 9.3 ov), 3-135 (Eoin Morgan, 10.6 ov)

Player of the Match
- BATSMENRB4s6sSR2.3 nailed it to deep midwicket! Same ploy, whisking that front leg aside and smearing the short ball hard and flat. But he picks out the fielder, Dhawan, who takes a pressure catch 43/12.4 golden duck! It is Henriques' night and he will not be denied. Lobs up a slower ball, which brings out the AB golf swing. But he mistimes it, carries only as far as long-on. Steyn's the man, who is as pumped up as ever 43/24.1 leg-stump full toss has been whipped to deep square leg! Silly cricket galore, and what can you expect in a six-over shoot out? 58/35.2 walks at the bowler, has a full toss, thumps it back towards long-on, but DK's bat intervenes. The ball is deflected to Bhuvi, who completes an easy run out. Kohli is livid as Karthik, who had raced down the pitch looking for runs, just keeps on going to the dressing room 69/4Extras1 (w 1)TOTAL83/4 (5.5 Overs, RR: 14.22)Fall of wickets: 1-43 (Chris Gayle, 2.3 ov), 2-43 (AB de Villiers, 2.4 ov), 3-58 (Mandeep Singh, 4.1 ov), 4-69 (Dinesh Karthik, 5.2 ov)
