From Rvel and Thilak, thanks for tuning in and goodnight :)

James Coles, Player of the Match: Came better than expected, chuffed to get into the final. Fortunately got to see what the pitch was doing bowling first. I stuck to the plan and committed fully. (On Muthusamy) He is unbelievable to bowl behind, watching him go about his business was impressive. (On fans) They have been our twelfth man all trip. They were singing to us when we did a lap of honour, couldn't thank them enough

Royals didn't have enough runs on the board, let down by their batters. They were in the doldrums in the powerplay, staring into the abyss after losing three wickets for 31 by the end of first six and never really got back on their feet from there, scrapping their way to 115. It would have been a lot worse had Verreynne not shown his grit and fightback. It was a collapse and they were out of sorts against a potent bowling attack that gave nothing away on the big night. In reply, Quinton de Kock got off to a flier and his 25 off 12 ensured there was no panic. He set the tone and then Jordan Hermann played an almost run-a-ball innings of 17. Matthew Breetzke remained not out on 19 off 18, not throwing caution to the wind while, the standout performer, James Coles was like, what's all the fuss about -- scoring a classy 45 off a 19-run knock as Sunrisers stormed their way to the final. It all sets up beautifully for Sunday, when two top-quality sides will wrestle for the ultimate prize

Mathi: "The difference between JSK yesterday and SEC today is taking down of spinners of PR, how beautifully SEC batsmans had played spin as compared to JSK batters,,,,,"

smail Moola : "Back at my beloved Wanderers..this is the strangest Wanderers pitch of all time..spinning like a Rajkot rager..Miss the green Mamba decks of old"
