#5 Terrible last over by Dan Christian
With 14 runs in the bank and with heavy experience in T20 cricket, Dan Christian was handed over the responsibility to bowl the last over.
He started off the over well by conceding only two runs to Yusuf Pathan. With 12 runs needed off five balls, he bowled a full toss which Pathan deposited straight down the ground for a huge six.
He followed it up with another dreadful short ball to which Pathan hooked it for a boundary. This sealed the deal for Sunrisers as they finished the formalities in the next two deliveries.
