Fireworks go off, Kings XI Punjab win by 6 wickets. Players shake hands and a wonderful game of cricket, a fantastic finish. Pathan holding his nerve to finish the match. A dejected McCullum after the last run was scored.

Pathan:"It could have gone either way, Agarkar bowled well, but we did well to finish it off".

Kings XI Punjab have moved up ladder and are in the second position in the points table.

Jayawardene is the Man-of-the-Match
