7.10pm First blood to Sunrisers. Runs on the board in a final is a big part of the battle won, and that's a lot of them. Markram and Stubbs add 98 from 55 balls after both set batters fell in the same Maharaj over. Abell nailed his scoops in a 30-ball fifty, and Hermann played a key role too. What might have been if that Maharaj catch had been given, however...
Jordan Hermann: "Tried to get the team off to a solid start. Any score in the final is defendable, just got to back our bowlers and plans. A good surface, but if any bowlers can exploit it, it's our bowlers. I back them all the way."

Arjun: "Why Topley is not bowling into the death overs of a final match." Seems odd to leave him underused, but he's back now
