12am The presentation:

Rohit: To defend 142 was not easy but we had the belief and the guys to do it. We were not so good with the bat but I don't want to be to too harsh on the batters, they've been in really good form. The crowd always picks us up in crunch time. The pitch looked little dry compared to earlier matches and the chat we had in the dressing room was we had to bowl differently this time. There was not much dew but it's been pretty unpredictable here.

Man of the Match is McClenaghan: Last match I went for 50 so it's a roller coaster in T20, every game is a new game. We had certain plans for certain guys and everyone stuck to their guns today. Anderson has pumped me around the park so it was good to get him.

That's all we have as Mumbai are proving to be unbeatable at Wankhede. Batting clicked earlier, bowling clicked today and they'll enjoy that Sunday now. Thanks for tuning in, catch you tomorrow for another double header. Ciao!

11.48pm The Mumbai batting flopped today but who would have thought that Delhi would not be able to chase down 143 at Wankhede? Delhi's bowlers put on an excellent display - Mishra's flight, turn and economical figures, the pacers' yorkers and what not. The Mumbai bowlers fought back really hard with accurate bowling but the Delhi batsmen didn't do much good with their shots, run outs and the catches they gave. It was mainly the opening spell of McClenaghan that jolted Delhi though. Mumbai have a bigger lead at the top of the table now, with 12 points and KKR are second at 8.

Zaheer: The only chance they had was by taking early wickets and that's exactly what went for them. We restricted them about 20-25 runs short, our bowlers did a fantastic job. Good to see the bowlers dominating. Considering they were at 26 for 6, it was a fantastic effort from Morris and Rabada.
