So thats all from here folks. It was a pleasure bringing the live commentary and match updates for you. Till the next time, tata from me, Arya Sekhar Chakraborty and my colleague Akshay Bhide. Stay tuned for tomorrow's double header. Good Night folks
It was a great match yet again in Sharjah. We have already seen more than 1300 runs in 3 matches at Sharjah so far and it shouldn't be any different between Mumbai Indians and the Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Shreyas Iyer, the Man of the Match and the winning captain: "It is rally difficult to defend here. Such an amazing total but still. It is always a thrill to come and play here. Winning the match is an icing on the cake. I thought today was the right time to take the bowlers on on a smaller ground. I took it one six at a time. I won't say I am a gifted player because I know the hard work and smart work I out into it. We keep talking about the close victories. This was one of them, and it is always satisfying. That after losing Mishra when he was bowling so well. We were confident we had two good overs left but you never know on this wicket at Sharjah. We have got a good platform, but we have to be insatiable from here on."
Shreyas Iyer is also the Man of the Match for his knock of 88 of 38 deliveries.
Prithvi Shaw is the Cred Powerplayer of the Match for his exploits in the powerplay.
Iyer is also the Dream11 Game Changer for the Match. He scored the maximum points in the fantasy league.

Eoin Morgan is the Super Striker of the Match for his heroics towards the later part of the match.
It was definitely a questionable decision from KKR skipper Dinesh Karthik to promote himself up the order. Morgan might have been the best bet there. In the end, it proved to be decisive. Karthik surely needs to get his act right. Given the ground dimensions of Sharjah, KKR could have waited for Russell at the back end and the decision of Karthik to promote himself backfired too.
Anrich Nortje: There was a little bit of dew. Myself and KG tried to get a few to go through. We did it at the start. It got a little bit tough in the end, the ball was coming on nicely. Proud the guys pulled it through. We had different plans, try to change it up, not go with the same thing over and over. Luckily we got him out. Some balls grip, one gripped and we got the wicket. It's great bowling with him (Rabada), really enjoyed. Nice to be in the same team with him.
