The Rockets will be gutted that they lost this from a winnable position especially with the way Pollard turned it around. Also injury concerns for Imad Wasim and Rashid Khan who both hobbled off. Remains to be seen what the extent of their injuries are. So that's game 1 done for the day. We have another game coming up. Switch tabs to follow that. Till then it's bye bye from everyone here.
Kieron Pollard | Hero of the Match: Had to make a play at some point, it wasn't not an easy pitch to come in and get going straightaway. Had to calculate and pick my bowler, had a better chance going into the small side (against Rashid) and luckily it came off. Lucky enough to play a lot against him (Rashid) he is a world-class bowler and got me out a lot of times as well. I just backed my strengths (talking about his 5 successive sixes) which is to hit straight and he bowled 3 full balls in my arc. This is one of those days I get to stay on the other side (talking about the battle with Rashid). We shouldn't have put ourselves in that position to be honest (talking about the target required from the last 20 balls), but having played and been in such situations many times it is all about calculating what can be done. Hopefully some lessons learnt and we won't put ourselves in such a situation next time around.
17:19 Local Time, 16:19 GMT, 21:49 IST: Superb game and it took so many turns and twists before the Brave came out on top.
