Milestone
So, that is it from me, Karthik Raj and my co-commentator, Arjun Bhalla. Stay tuned to OneCricket's coverage of the remainder of the IPL
Sandeep Sharma: When I started bowling, it was a bit sticky. It's coming nicely, it's got cooler here, so it's helping. I have been bowling the knuckle ball, Jonny (Bairstow) has been helping me. It took around three or four months to get it right. Kohli is one of the greatest batsmen, so getting him out is special. Now we are finding the momentum with one game to go. We are excited about that, let's see what happens.
Sandeep Sharma has been named as the 'Man of the Match' for his superb opening spell
David Warner : Coming into this game, we knew we had to beat the top two teams in order to progress. We got one more to go against Mumbai. Losing Vijay is a big miss. For us we have worked out, how to go about at the top of the order. With the bowling, all the credit goes to them. We are finding the right balance and the right partnerships. To go for less than 20 in 4 overs, it's ridiculous. The wicket is slowing up a bit, the bowlers got to adapt to it. Tonight the bowlers have executed it well. Dubai has been the same, I think it gets dewy here. It wasn't a surprise at all. Holder's a great all-rounder. To bowl a bouncer against someone like him, you have to dig it very short. It's great to have that consistency. We knew we had to win today, and that's the case in the next game. In 2016 we had to win three games and we did that.
Jason Holder: It wasn't easy. I just wanted to be positive and finish the game. Quite a bit of dew in the last few games. We knew toss was crucial and we wanted to chase. Trying to defend here is quite difficult. You are not quite sure of a par total with these boundaries and the dew factor. We have got a really good balance and we got to close the tournament well. I was just longing for an opportunity with the bat and tonight I got one.
Virat Kohli: It was never enough. We thought 140 might be a good total to sort of get into the game on that kind of wicket. Things changed drastically in the second innings. There was a lot of dew which we didn't quite predict, they got it right at the toss eventually. In the end it was very difficult to hold the ball. Strange one. In between we thought the weather has become pleasant and there wasn't any dew, but last few games in Dubai and here as well there has been dew. The pattern keeps changing but regardless you need to have runs on the board. We weren't brave enough with the bat throughout the innings and credit to them - they used the pitch well and the change of pace.
Comments from the players
Kane Williamson joined Saha to stitch a 22-run partnership but the duo fell in quick succession as memories about the failed KXIP chase possibly came across the minds of the SRH players. However, Jason Holder broke the ice with a couple of sixes and a boundary. Abhishek Sharma also struck a six to reduce the equation to just a hit before he fell while going for the big shot. At that moment, it was impossible for SRH to lose and Jason Holder finished the match with a six as SRH sealed a five-wicket victory.
A target of 121 was never going to be enough for RCB to defend and SRH have proved it with a comfortable chase. They have finished off the match with 35 balls to spare. The start wasn't great as David Warner fell in just the second over but the duo of Manish Pandey and Wriddhiman Saha built the innings very well. In fact, they did superbly as SRH managed to get 58 runs from the Powerplay. However, Pandey fell immediately in the next over bowled by Yuzvendra Chahal as he went for an unnecessary shot.
14.1 Yuzvendra Chahal to Jason Holder
6 Slightly short, Holder smacks it down the ground to finish the match in style. What a cracking cameo from him. With this result, SRH stay alive in the competition.

13.6 Navdeep Saini to Jason Holder
1 Full on the stumps, Holder drives it to long-on. Single
13.5 Navdeep Saini to Abhishek Sharma
W Wicket!! Length ball outside off, Abhishek Sharma looks to go for the big shot but he skies a catch for Gurkeerat Mann at cover.
13.4 Navdeep Saini to Abhishek Sharma
6 Six!!! Short ball, Abhishek Sharma top-edges it but the ball still carries over the rope for a six. Isuru Udana was in the deep but there is no chance of a catch there
13.4 Navdeep Saini to Jason Holder
1wd Wide down the leg-side. AB de Villiers fumbles and the batsmen take a single
13.3 Navdeep Saini to Jason Holder
4 A good yorker but Saini is unlucky. Holder gets an edge down to fine-leg for a boundary. You could also say that he deliberately played the 'Nat-meg'
13.2 Navdeep Saini to Jason Holder
6 Majestic from Holder!! Short ball, Holder pulls it over square-leg for a six
13.1 Navdeep Saini to Jason Holder
0 Length ball on the stumps, Holder looks to flick and misses the ball. A huge appeal from Navdeep Saini as the ball struck Holder's pads. The umpire doesn't agree but Virat Kohli has gone for a review. There is a spike on the Ultra-edge and Holder survives
