Full commentary

That's all she wrote for tonight. We will be looking forward to your company tomorrow. Goodbye and cheers...

Zaheer: I try to use my experience to my advantage. I used my variations, the wicket was slow and it worked. If I pick up something I know, the batsman's strength and I will have a discussion with the bowler and change the field accordingly. It will be good to finish on a winning note.

First Man-of-the-Match award in IPL for Zaheer. He knocks himself off the top of this un-awarded list

JP Duminy: It feels good. I was telling the guys, we have played good cricket this season. We have one more game to go. We will be coming back strong next season. That was the best Powerplay bowling performance I have seen. It was a gutsy performance from Shahbaz Nadeem. I still would have batted if I had won the toss. We bowled really well in the Powerplay and that set it up for us. Exciting talent [Iyer]. I have told him on his face that he will be playing for India in the next two-three years.

Dhoni: We got off to a horrible start. We got under 20 in the first six and from there it was difficult. We picked early wickets and dropped a catch. The bowlers offered width but we did not have enough runs on the board. We did not have practice sessions. They played a game here and knew what length to bowl. We have done well and try to take some positives if there are any. We have to be keep moving forward. We have to see how the wicket is in our last game. What's important is to finish one or two in the table. If we can't, maybe we will give a chance to Hussey before the playoffs.

11:00pm: Ishwar Pandey kept it tight upfront and reduced Daredevils to 24 for 2 in the chase. However, Yuvraj and Shreyas Iyer combined well in a 69-run stand to hold the innings together. Yuvraj then holed out for 32 but an uncluttered Iyer stayed till the end to see the 'hosts' past the finish line with his fourth fifty of the season. Chennai Super Kings are still on top but are not technically through to the playoffs yet...

Negi to Morkel, OUT

Morkel gives it away now. Fuller on a leg-stump line, he backs away, comes down and goes for a big hit. Only slices it off the bottom of the bat to Pandey at long-off
