Rajasthan got three things right in their defense of this target - discipline, discipline and discipline. Kolkata somehow never looked in control of the chase and their captain Sourav Ganguly looked circumspect for a long time, despite his 50. Kolkata managed only eight fours, as opposed to Rajasthan's 22 and that, I think, made the difference. The boundaries started to dry up and Rajasthan kept things tight.

Here's confirmation that the last over was bowled by Shane Watson. Apologies for the technical glitch.

Thanks for your company and of course, the mails! Part two of the May day double bill gets underway in less than ten minutes, with Deccan Chargers taking on Kings XI Punjab. Jamie Alter's busy at the keyboard to take you through that. For now, this is Kanishkaa signing off. Cheers!

Watson to Dinda, OUT

catch of the tournament, surely! Dinda tries to clear the infield on the off side and there are two fielders converging towards it in the region of mid-off - Warne and Taruwar Kohli. They nearly collide but Kohli stretches out his left hand and pulls off a blinder and hangs on to it after Warne eventually collides with him. Several blue shirts crowd the pair and boy is Kohli delighted!
