Hyderabad win their first ever home game but not before Irfan Pathan threatened to take it all away from them with a late but very effective 60 off 29 balls. This win puts Hyderabad one up over their previous 5th place whereas Mohali are lagging way behind in the last spot in the points table.
Bopara tried to hold the innings together with a valiant 38, but the lack of support from the other end forced him to crumble under the increasing pressure. Vaas bowled with some disciplined line and scalped two wickets.
Earlier in the day, Gilchrist got off to a flyer before getting out for 33 and then Symonds provided the finishing blows with a hard hitting 53. It's a deserving 6-run win for Hyderabad.
News from the presentation - Irfan Pathan got the maximum sixes award. Bipul Sharma got the best catch award. Andrew Symonds was adjudged Man of the Match. Sangakkara said the first six overs cost him the game but they fielded and bowled better than the last few games. Gilchrist thought they may have been 15-20 runs short.That's all for today folks
