Okay well looks like the presentation will not be shown. The Mumbai game is underway. We will try and get you the Man of the Match as soon as possible. Umesh a strong contender.

Just heard that Umesh Yadav is the Man of the Match. No presentation on TV. You can catch the latest from the Mumbai game. Thanks for your company. Enjoy the Eliminator!

End of match: So KKR are the first team to make the final of IPL 2014. Kings XI have lost but they are not out of it yet. They will have another crack at the final when they meet the winner of the eliminator between Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings, about to take place in Mumbai. Kings XI's second chance will be on Friday.

8 wins on the trot for KKR. At this point they look primed to lift the trophy. Kings XI's defeat has added to the intrigue. We will have to wait a bit for the presentation once the Mumbai toss is out of the way.

Vidhu: "Its time KXIP should get Marsh and rest one bowler. They anyways are not able to restrict teams to a low total."
