Chasing 145, Dale Steyn bowled a fiery first spell removing Ajinkya Rahane (1) caught behind in the third over. Rahul Dravid and Shane Watson started cautiously preferring to see off the fiery Steyn. Dravid hit two boundaries off Ishant Sharma as RR made 30 from the power play overs. Watson joined in with two boundaries off Thisara Perera in the seventh over. At the halfway stage RR were 53 for 1, still requiring 92 runs.

Dravid deposited Amit Mishra for a six over long on before Watson launched him deep over the mid-wicket fence in the eleventh over. Dravid (36), attempting to up the run rate, was caught in the deep off Perera. Watson then took apart Ishant Sharma for three boundaries and a six in the 14th over scoring 20 runs from it. He also brought up his fifty in the process. Needing 36 from 30 balls, Watson pulled Perera for a six, before hitting two consecutive boundaries in the 16th over. The onslaught continued as Watson hit Karan Sharma for a six and two boundaries as RR waded home with 13 balls to spare.

Earlier SRH won the toss and elected to bat first only to witness their top order capitulate. In the first over Ajit Chandila had Akshath Reddy (2) caught by Watson. James Faulkner then struck twice, first having Kumar Sangakkara (4) caught at slip, before removing Shikhar Dhawan (0) caught by Ajinkya Rahane. It only got worse as Karan Sharma (6) then fell trying to pull Faulkner. The collapse continued as Perera (4) was caught by Kevon Cooper off Chandila to leave SRH reeling at 19 for 5.

Darren Sammy showed some fight hitting Watson for two boundaries but wickets continued to fall as Hanuma Vihari (4) was caught behind off Cooper. Sammy and Mishra helped SRH recover with a 58 run seventh wicket partnership. Mishra (21) departed caught by Cooper off Faulkner. Ashish Reddy (14) was put down twice before Stuart Binny finally got him. Sammy (60) was trapped by Faulkner in the penultimate over to complete his five wicket haul. Some big hits by Steyn (18) saw SRH finish at 144 for nine.

Quotes from presentation

"we didn't have a great start," says Kumar Sangakkara. "Darren, Mishy, Steyn, Ashish Reddy batted really well. It was a good total, but the magnificent innings from Watson did it for them. The legspinners have been two of our best bowlers. They have bowled brilliantly throughout the tourament."

"In the end, we got the job done," says Rahul Dravid. "It was disappointing we let them get 144, but at the back end we were really good. I think Shane was exceptional. It's great to have him in the side. Both he and Jimmy were exceptional. We didn't execute well with the ball well in the end. We haven't done that for a few games."

"A good game," says James Faulkner, the Man of the Match. "Good to be on the winning side. Reasonably good control tonight, but a couple of balls didn't come out right. Our wickets have got a bit in them early on. I thought we batted very well tonight."

At times, one feels they are surviving on their reputation and not its execution. But these enigmatic geniuses often find someone who understands their worth, who believes in them as much as they believe in themselves. Yusuf Pathan is an enigma. Everyone knows of his supreme leather-pounding power and they love him for that. But to their dismay they don’t see that skill being converted into runs. But those close to him and his team mates see what others can’t. His Kolkata Knight Riders skipper, Gautam Gambhir, surely does.  Questions have been raised about Pathan’s place in the KKR Playing XI since the beginning of the 2012 IPL. And with every low score against his name, they have gotten louder. In IPL 2013, Pathan has played three matches so far and scored 18*, 0 and 27.  They’re not big scores ...

He began his international career one year before Lara. Set to play his 200th and farewell Test at the Wankhede Stadium from Thursday, Tendulkar added two more teammates in Mumbai’s Rohit Sharma and Bengal’s Mohammad Shami who were capped against the West Indies last week at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata. This took his teammates tally to 110 teammates, one behind England’s Frank Woolley (111 in 64 Tests) and seven behind England’s Graham Gooch (118...
