Time for the Presentation.
Jason Roy, Player of the Match: "Makes me extremely happy. Really grateful for the opportunity from Sunrisers. Have been training, and waiting hard. Grateful for this award too - we had some great performances today. Happy to get over the line. I had to kind of access different areas. Wasn't as free-flowing the way I hope. It was a case of getting the team close to the total. Saha was instrumental in that partnership. Allowed me to relax early on. We've got to keep our feet very grounded. We've had a tough tournament, but to come out today to chase a decent total was hugely impressive. We need to do the basics all over again."
Williamson, winning captain: "Good feeling. We can say the performance was improved. There was clarity in roles too. Good to be on the right side. Want to build on this, want to see the younger players take their opportunity and enjoy the cricket. Last two overs with the ball were critical. Sanju batted outstanding and they were looking to score more but we managed to close them into a par-ish total. And then the partnership with the bat up top. We weathered the storms against the slower bowlers. Roy is an injection of energy. He's been on the sidelines but was always ready to go. He did what he does, great to see. Fantastic player, great contribution. We want to recover before the next game. Couple of days away, new venue, need to take on CSK, top of the table, tough to beat. But as we know every team in this tournament is good. Hopefully we can play with a smile on our faces."
Suren: "17 vs 7 extras that is the difference.10 runs and 10 balls." --- Spot on!
Avishek Manna : "IPL. 4 teams having 8 points off 10 matches. Let the matter start.
The young Abhishek Sharma: "I think it was a big opportunity for me because I was waiting for my chance. It is our first win in Dubai, so feeling really good. Throughout the match, I was just planning for this match. Kane was just telling me a lot of things - he is a great captain - and he was boosting my confidence. I said one, but later said no [during the mix-up]! How can I say in Hindi to Williamson?"
Here's the Royals captain Samson: "It was a decent score. The wicket was sticky, and they were bowling well. We could have got 10 or 20 more actually. The last overs was the difference - you can say that. I wanted to keep going, but we kept losing one or two wickets. We got the target which we were aiming for after the time-out. We definitely need to work a lot on our batting and bowling... We need to be at our best each and every ball. We need to lift our standards."
Riyaz: "Roy for MoM, for the new energy he got into the team, SRH looked comfortable at top with Roy"
Jigar: "Its funny how many times the bottom placed teams have played spoilsport in the IPL."
9.26pm So two points for Sunrisers, but they still remain eighth. Captain's knock from Williamson in a calm finish, as his side win with seven wickets and nine balls to spare. Roy - in his first match - hammered a quick 60 too, and that set the tone. But Royals still pretty much in contention for the playoffs race, mind you. There is a clutter in the middle of the table, and it has further got complicated.

Adam: "This would just be so Sunrisers-esque if they were to go on and lose this!"
Sheldon Smith: "It is about this stage of the innings that batsmen seem to forget how to play. We may have a tight finish yet" --- Never rule that out!
