Commentator: Hemant and Ekanth

MI still not likely to progress but their win has opened up the tournament. DC will hope to further that by beating RR tomorrow while the visitors, sitting pretty at No. 2, will look to seal their playoffs berth. See you then. Thanks for joining us tonight. From my fellow commentator, Hemant Brar, and our scorers, Thilak Rama and M Venkat Raghav, it's goodnight.

Abdul Nasir: "SRH whole team 18 boumdaries. SKY alone 18 boundaries. The major difference."

Suryakumar Yadav, POTM: I've been doing this after very long time. After 14th December this is the first time I fielded for 20 overs and batted for 18. But I'm alright. I feel it was the need of the hour for me to win. Three wickets were down and I needed to play till the end. Knew that dew was heavy and I had to bat till the seam came off. Traditional shots came from the Mumbai school of arts. I knew what to do when the ball was seaming and then brought out all the shots which I practice. I feel the intent would've been the same. As overs would've passed it'd been easier and I'd have gone big but like how I did today.

Hardik Pandya, MI captain: I don't know the mathematical situation we need to go through but happy with how we went today. Gave 15-20 runs extra but batting was excellent. My bowling - I do the stuff I do. I like bowling good areas and see how it goes. Today it was nipping around and that worked. The wickets Piyush took are guys who can take the game away. He asked to long from the shorter side but had to adjust. In T20s, more than change-ups consistency is important, which PC was today, and found success with. SKY was unbelievable. More than him getting runs, him putting so much pressure on bowlers that even other batters get loose balls. He breaks you. He's evolved. Lucky to have him in my team. Hope to have many more such innings.

Mustafa Moudi : "After SRH's defeat tonight, KKR's chances of ending in Top 2 has very high. All they need now is to win a game out of them next 3 and their high NRR will take them to Top 2 with at least 18 Points and a Healthy NRR!!"

Tilak Varma: Initially it was really tough. We were struggling and decided to play with the straight bat. Play it like Tests or ODI knowing we have a 360-degree batter. I was really shocked when SKY took on Marco Jansen. From there it was just going on. It's a long season, so we'll be getting slow and seaming wickets, gotta prepare for everything. Mentally we were challenging each other and playing it with the discipline of Tests. I wanted to just play the situation. I kept my intent, walking in and playing with a straight bat, but while keeping my scoring options open. Then you saw what happened - the Surya bhai show. At that moment, he was batting well. I thought he deserved 100 and gave him the strike. There was no talk about him limping or anything.

Pat Cummins, SRH captain: (Total) Probably a couple short. Defending here at Wankhede you want as much as possible. We felt a little bit unders but still felt we were in the game. There was a bit there in the wicket early. You saw in our batting innings that the wicket had a bit in it till the 10-12 over mark, so felt we were in the game in the chase. (On the sub) Having Sanvir out there got us to 170 rather than 150, which would've had us lose no matter who's in the side. Ideally we'd have had a pacer but wouldn't have made too much of a difference. We obviously wanted to win. It's T20 cricket, doesn't always work out that way. Came against a good side, particularly SKY. We like playing at homem done well there so far. Looking forward to what's ahead of us. Hopefully a few more fireworks. (Harsha says think you gave us an insight on how the pitch will be) I'll have no say in the surface, we'll see how it goes.

11:12pm It might be too late to reignite the campaign but that's a great win for the hosts. Far from ideal for SRH who now sit on fourth as many points (12) in as many games as CSK and LSG. The chase started with a lot of promise for them. The ball was hooping and seaming everywhere but they didn't find the control, gave away too many wides. The wickets came by but MI got away. Bhuvi and Cummins struck. But then SKY and Tilak came together, soaked in the pressure, then let dew and the softening ball mitigate conditions. SKY taking on Jansen helped. They coasted through the middle overs. The repertoire of shots from SKY was out there. He limped a bit and experienced a bit of pain but managed to keep at it and, with Tilak for support, got the century and took his team home.

Natarajan to Yadav, SIX, Low full toss has been tonked over the long-off boundary, SKY finishes off with a 51-ball hundred. Slower one too, he lunged and smeared it while maintaining control. Flat six, the ball boy there might've caught it. Not sure. SKY gets his lid off, raises his bat and soaks in the applause.

Six needed off 17, SKY four away from hundo

Cummins to Yadav, SIX, Three pulled boundaries off slower bouncers end the over. Match is all but sealed. Not a bad ball tbh, not sure how SKY middled that. Had no pace to work with but deposited it well into the stands over the square-leg boundary

Cummins to Yadav, FOUR, Another pull. This was a better shot as the offcutter was a bouncer that rose to around neck-height. SKY collapsed his back and heaved it after delaying the shot a bit
16.4

Cummins to Yadav, FOUR, Sower bouncer rises to only around waist-height. It's real wide and is pulled over midwicket. No one in the deep wide of square leg. Cummins stands with a double teapot as the equation comes down to 17 off 20

Cummins to Tilak Varma, 1 run, Slower bouncer from around the wicket is guided to deep third, off the back foot
