9:52pm And that is all form us tonight. Thanks for joining and see you tomorrow for the clash of the top two.

Wriddhiman Saha: I got the opportunity for the second time this year and I took chances in the powerplay for the team, and that's it. Initially it was holding a bit and after that it went our way. It's easy to play when there's Warner at the other end. In the powerplay I just play my natural cricketing shots.

Wriddhiman Saha is the Man of the Match.

David Warner: The game before, very disappointed with that chase. Tonight, as I said at the toss, I was looking to bat first. Losing the toss I wasn't disappointed. We had to take their fast bowlers on. I've decided to go back to 2009 and open the front leg a little bit and clear these grounds. It was a very tough call (Bairstow), with Jase playing as well as he has. We felt that inclusion of Kane at 4 would work out. What a knock by Wriddhi. His strike rate in the powerplay is incredible. Unfortunately he's got a bit of a niggle in the groin. Don't know yet about Vijay Shankar. [Rashid] seems to have the knack for taking wickets and not going for the runs. Two games in Sharjah to go. If we can get 220 on the board here, who knows what we can get there.

Rashid Khan: winning the game was the most important. The wicket was helping a lot. What I'm mainly focusing on is to bowl economically, whether I get wickets or not. Dot balls help me to get wickets and it also helps the other end to get wickets. I just go with a clear mind, that's my biggest strength - I want to bowl a good line and length, no matter the situation. You have to mix up and play with the batsman's mind, and see the weak zone and strong zone of the batsman as well. So I keep those things in mind.

Shreyas Iyer: Definitely a big loss, but you can't get bogged down at this point of time. We still have two games. One win is all we need - we've been waiting for that since the last three games. This loss is definitely going to motivate us. I think we lost it in the powerplay itself, when they got 70+ runs. I think we need to have a strong and positive mindset. These loses are no going to put us down. We've been doing amazing before these three matches, and it shouldn't get to our heads. It's really difficult to judge what to do on this wicket - it's probably better to lose the toss. [In jest] unfortunately I lost the toss and we thought of the dew. We obviously discuss a lot about the opposition batsmen. We really try to execute our plans but it was really unfortunate that we didn't do well today. any team can surprise any team in this tournament. you can't underestimate anyone, especially at the business end of the tournament. RCB is a good team but we must also remember we've beaten them before.


Adarsh: "Two things seem incredible looking at the points table: 1. The team at sixth place (SRH) has the 2nd highest NRR, 2. After completely contrasting first halves of their seasons, DC are now only 2 points ahead of KXIP"

Prasanna Raghun: "Losing at the back end of the tournament by such a high margin is a huge setback. NRR goes for an extreme beating. There is no time for DC to fix it "

9:28pm An 88-run win for Sunrisers Hyderabad. What a strange season they're having. Clearly a team good enough to win like this, but have found themselves losing far easier games at the end. This will feel good. Not so much for DC, who now have three losses in a row after dominating the table. They finish outside the top 2 tonight. Sunrisers stay alive with one of the most comprehensive performances from any team this season. Sensational shows from David Warner and Wriddhiman Saha, who pretty much won it between them with the bat, before Rashid Khan's fantastic spell closed everything out the moment DC had looked to make some moves at the end of their powerplay.

Natarajan to Nortje, OUT, taken at square leg. Natarajan shows his bouncer off. It's too much for Nortje, who looks to fetch it with a pull from outside off. Sliced up and swerving, but Garg is steady under it

Natarajan to Deshpande, 1 run, looks for the reverse ramp after shaping for the conventional ramp. Ends up going at it too early and gets it off the leading edge to square leg. Low full wide outside off and he was swishing all around that. And it's probably the only ball that brings some smiles to the Delhi dugout tonight
