Scorer: K Vairavan | Commentator: Sudarshanan and Ekanth

A comprehensive win. They continue their ascent and are now into the top-half of the table. There could be more traffic there tomorrow as RCB face RR tomorrow. See you for that. Thanks for joining in tonight. I'm Ekanth, signing off on behalf of Sudarshanan, and our scorers, M Venkat Raghav and K Vairavan.

Trent Boult, POTM: Nice to contribute to a good win in a big name. To keep a quality side down in their home conditions was the most satisfying. Deepak did a great job, nice to see a couple of catches being held. I'd love to bowl four in a row and swing it around but it doesn't always happen. You have to be ready to bowl in whatever stage you're asked. Slightly different role this year, but I've enjoyed my time so far and want to continue. Yorker is a low-percentage ball, in my opinion, there has been a few more bowled this season. As some of the older-fashion players used to say, you can't beat a good yorker. (What makes you tick?) I still love the feeling of taking wickets and getting into the battle, there'd be hundreds and thousands of players wanting to play. So, don't want to take opportunities for granted.

Hardik Pandya, MI captain: Good to have a win. Glad the boys are taking the momentum in the right way.. I've felt, once everyone starts clicking in this team there will be domination. Deepak, Boult set it up; Rohit, SKY finished it. Overall, a wonderful win. (Deepak four in a row) Realised captaincy sometimes is about instincts, want to see and react and not always pre-plan. In a situation like this where he bowled wonderfully in the powerplay, then why hold his fourth over back? (Boxes left to tick) Just need to get better in all departments. So far, very satisfied.

ShahSafeer: "Please hand PotM award the most deserving one, Trent Boult."

Praveen: "Something to do with SRH and over 16. They are either all out in 16 overs or opponents chanse down SRH target in 16 overs."

Suryakumar Yadav: Wife's flown down from Mumbai, what could be better. It was really important to come positive. Having won four in a row is special. Rohit made my job easier, I just had to bat with a good tempo. Him coming to form is great. You keep practicing the sweep in the nets, do the same in the game. It's less risk, high reward.

Pat Cummins, SRH captain: Klaasen and Abhinav did well for us to get to a total. Never got going. After a couple of wickets, you have to find a way to steady the ship. Couldn't do that. (Was there pressure to score high on this pitch) We spoke about the pitch before the match. You're allowed to bowl a good over, build your innings and you can catch up. You have to start 0 for 0, it's about assessing the pitch each time you play. The difference between the first game where we got 280-plus and the next, where we folded, was big. That's T20, you don't know what happens. Hasn't worked out so far. We have a few away games now. It's about assessing each wicket quickly. Some days it might be all-out attack and there'll be graft on others.

10:48pm: MI rise to No. 3, with their NRR better than RCB's. SRH's season goes continues to plummet. This was a no contest. The game was effectively done in the first innings. Rohit started well, Jacks stitched a healthy partnership before SKY came in to build on the platform. Cummins was taken down in the powerplay, Unadkat got Rickelton cheaply but there were no chances created. Rohit's pulls were back on show, he lifted balls over cover and helped them behind square. SKY's sweeps were in flow too. They decided at the second timeout that they will hurry to the win and that's what they did.

Zeeshan Ansari to Yadav, FOUR, Pulled. Should've been out, but the ball goes through Reddy's hands. He points to the floodlights. Another one-bounce four over midwicket. Was a shortish googly around middle, SKY pulled and swivelled. Might've got it off the bottom of the bat but got away with it

Zeeshan Ansari to Yadav, no run, Zeeshan goes for it again, goes a touch wider and rips the legbreak sharply. Ball finishes well outside off and sails past bat

Zeeshan Ansari to Yadav, FOUR, Looped teasingly, SKY might've beaten on the flight but went through with the slog sweep. Bottom hand came off but the whiplash and power couldn't be stopped. Ball goes over the infield at midwicket for a one-bounce four

Malinga to Yadav, SIX, SKY's walked down and helped it along simultaneously! He wanted to negate a potential yorker, Malinga missed his length, got it around knee-high but it was speeding in. Nonetheless, it was whipped over fine leg
