Jason Holder was adjudged the man of the match for bowling tightly; picking up 3 wickets and scored 47* off 29 to take the match close but he didn't get support from any of the Hyderabad batters. In the end, Punjab Kings won by 5 runs. After winning the award, Holder said, " Five more games left, need to build some momentum for next season. Fans have been really passionate, we need to keep going for them."
"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. At 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."
Brief Score:
Punjab Kings - 125/7 in 20 overs. (Holder - 3/19)
Sunrisers Hyderabad - 120/7 in 20 overs. (Holder - 47*(29), Bishnoi - 3/24)
