Here’s what the key players and captains had to say after the game:

Trent Boult | Player of the Match (3/21 in 4 overs)

"Just nice to contribute to a good win. Good game for us. To restrict them to a decent score in their home conditions was wonderful. Just wanted to hit the wicket and make the batsmen play good shots, tried to keep it simple and put pressure on the batsmen. Good to see a couple of catches held today. I’d love to bowl four in a row and let it swing but that doesn’t always happen. Need to always be ready for whenever I’m called upon."

"Slightly different role for me this year. It’s a low percentage ball for me but as some older bowlers would say, nothing could beat a good yorker. I still love the feeling of competing and getting wickets. It’s a huge tournament, there are hundreds of thousands of bowlers who’d love to do what we’re doing so it’s about not taking it for granted."

Hardik Pandya | MI Captain

"Good to have wins behind our back. Glad the boys are taking the momentum in the right way. Rohit, Deepak, Boult, SKY – everyone contributed. I always felt that once everyone started clicking, it’s going to be a complete combination. Overall, a wonderful win."

"Captaincy sometimes is about instincts. I like to see the game and react rather than rely only on pre-made plans. At that point, we wanted them to take a chance and give us a wicket. Young guy hadn’t played a couple of games, so it was tough for him and I understand."

"We can still improve in all departments. We talked about being very clinical and smart. We’ll take it game by game. We’re very satisfied with this win."

Pat Cummins | SRH Captain

"Abhinav and Klassy got us to a good total, but we couldn’t get through the innings. Needed a guy to really steady the ship."

"(On the pitch) You have to build your innings here. If you face a few balls, you can catch up. The margins in T20s are so small. One day we score 280, next time we’re bowled out on the same surface. That’s how this game works."

"(On upcoming away games) We have a few on the road now, and it’ll be about reading the conditions quickly. Some days, it's all-out attack. Others, we’ll have to weigh our options."

Match Summary:

SRH: 143/8 (20 overs) – Klaasen 53, Abhinav 43 | Boult 3/21

MI: 144/3 (15.4 overs) – Rohit 70 (46), SKY 40* (19)

Result: MI won by 7 wickets
