Player of the Match
One rare occasion in the IPL when the Player of the Match award goes to a player from the losing side. SRH's Jason Holder wins the Player of the Match award for his 3 wickets and unbeaten 47 from 29 balls.
Jason Holder: A tough loss. At the halfway mark, needing 126, you obviously back yourselves to chase it. We probably left a little too much to get at the end although I did back myself to get those. The stage where I came in, I just had to go for it and it worked. Maybe that's why it worked. Batters probably weren't too committal earlier on. Five more games left, need to build some momentum for next season. Fans have been really passionate, we need to keep going for them.
KL Rahul, PBKS captain:I hope so, we are playing some entertaining cricket and have been doing for the last two or three years, but I'll take the win. He (Holder) played exceedingly well. First with the ball, taking those two wickets in an over and then batted really well, on a track where it was difficult to play the big shots. We wanted to get another 20-30 more runs but we'll take the win. It gives us a belief that no matter what the situation is, our bowlers can get the opposition out if we get a decent score. Shami to start of, bowled really well, getting two big batters in Warner and Williamson. Made it easier for our spinners to settle into a nice line and length. Lesson for the batsmen would be to realise that it's not a 160-170 surface, if we had built a few partnerships, we could have got to 140-150.Every time I go to him, he tells me 'Paaji (Brother) don't worry, I won't leak runs'. That's his attitude.
Kane Williamson, SRH captain: I think the bowling and fielding did a fantastic job. The surface was a tough one. We were certainly backing ourselves to get close. A brilliant individual effort from Jason Holder. It has been a frustrating season... We need to learn a few lessons from the first half. For us, it was about building a platform... It was quite a challenge. The games come think and fast... The challenge is to pick ourselves up and come back... Every team is a strong team. We know what it takes.

KL Rahul, PBKS captain at toss:I was unsure of what to do. That game it can either making you go deflating or go fearless. Everyone is keen to get ut there and turn this around. We havethree changes. Fabien Allen, Porel and Adil Rashid are out. Ellis, Gayle and Ravi Bishnoi are backin the team. When you are the bottom of the table, you are still trying to figure out what your best eleven is. With Chris it gives me and Mayank a lot of breathing space at the top. Chris has always delivered for us and hope he can do that again for us today.
Kane Williamson, SRH captain at toss:We gonna have a bowl, chances of dew coming in later on and it's a small ground. We will try to restrict them to a low score. it's about staying tight together and making small adjustments. It's important to keep coming up with that energy and at times it's easy to reflect on past performances where we have done better but we need to play with that freedom. We areplaying the same team.
Toss
SRH captain Kane Williamson wins the toss and opts to bowl first.
Pitch Report
A fresh track for this match. Like yesterday's match between CSK and RCB, this pitch too will offer a lot of turn. So batting is going to be tough on this track.
