Chasing 120, PWI started aggressively. Robin Uthappa flicked two boundaries off Dale Steyn before driving Ishant Sharma down the ground. Aaron Finch then hit two boundaries off Steyn's second over. Thisara Perera then struck a dual blow by dismissing Uthappa (22) and Finch (16) off consecutive deliveries. Uthappa was caught at deep square leg, while Finch was done in by the extra bounce and found the man at point. Karan Sharma then had Tirumalasetti Suman out leg before to get SRH their third wicket.

With less than 6 runs needed per over, PWI were on their way home but then Steven Smith (17) top edged a pull shot and was caught at the fence by Ashish Reddy off Ishant Sharma. The wickets of Marsh (14) and Abhishek Nayar (0) brought SRH back into the game. Needing 14 off 12, Mishra bowled a brilliant over picking four wickets which included a hat trick to bundle out PWI. Mishra dismissed Angelo Mathews (20), Bhuvneshwar Kumar (0), Rahul Sharma (0) and Ashok Dinda (0) to help SRH gain a welcome two points. 

Earlier PWI won the toss and opted to field. PWI struck first getting rid of Quinton de Kock (2) who came in for Kumar Sangakara, caught at cover off Dinda. Bhuvneshwar Kumar who swung the ball beautifully bowled Parthiv Patel (12) and Cameron White (0) off consecutive deliveries to leave SRH reeling at 15 for 3 in 3 overs. The wickets continued to fall as Kumar then had Hanuma Vihari (1) edging to Finch at first slip to claim his third wicket. Karan Sharma (7) was trapped leg before by Rahul Sharma to have half the SRH side back in the hut.

The slide continued as Marsh then had Perera (2) caught behind. Biplab Samantray provided some resistance hitting Sharma for a boundary before launching him for a six over square leg. Sharma however had his revenge having Samantray (37) caught at long-off to reduce SRH seven down. Ashish Reddy (19*) played a few shots including hitting a six off Matthews. Along with Mishra, who scored 30 off 24 balls, the two saw SRH reach 119 for 8 from their 20 overs.

Stats Highlights:

119: Sunrisers Hyderabad’s total – second lowest total successfully defended by a team in IPL. The lowest remains Chennai Super Kings’ 116 against Kings XI Punjab at Durban in 2009. They went on to win that match by 24 runs.

83: Number of wickets taken by Amit Mishra in IPL- second most by any bowler after Lasith Malinga’s 85.

6: Pune Warriors India lost their last six wickets for a mere addition of seven runs to the total – from 101/4 to 108 all out. This equals the record of worst six-wicket collapse in IPL. Rajasthan Royals had also lost six for seven against Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2010.

4: Number of batsmen who got a golden duck (out off the very first ball) in the match – most in an IPL game. In Deccan Chargers- Royal Challengers Bangalore match at Nagpur in 2010 also had four golden ducks.

3: Number of hat-tricks taken by Amit Mishra – most by any bowler in IPL and also in all Twenty20 cricket. Three other players – Lennox Cush, Yuvraj Singh and Tim Southee have taken two hat-tricks

2: Mishra is only the second bowler to take a hat-trick in IPL without any assistance from any of the teammates (he had two batsmen bowled and one LBW). Mkhaya Ntini is the only other bowler to do so - for Chennai Super Kings against Kolkata Knight Riders in 2008. Ntini had all three bowled!

Presentation

Angelo Mathews: I thought we had the game till the last five overs, got off to a brilliant start in the bowling but we choked up again. We got to be consistent to move on from here, it was disappointing to throw a game like this which was in our hand. Nine more games to turn things around.

Cameron White: Phew, I am not sure what happened there. Got wickets as and when we needed and then Mishy did his job. In small chases it was important to not leave Ishant and Steyn till the last.

Amit Mishra, man of the match: Cam said to me that I should go for the wickets and I got a hat-trick. Its a great feeling, working together, supporting each other. I am not trying for any more tricks, want to keep it simple.
