A hard-fought win for Kings XI, and a morale-boosting one. They've been one of the weaker sides this IPL and to beat Mumbai will do them a lot of good. Marsh anchored the chase and stayed through to the end, Miller hung around as well, the openers gave a good start and Mahmood struck an important six. That Karthik run-out was an important moment in hindsight, as Mumbai couldn't take advantage of the stand he and Franklin had built. In the end, Kings XI prevailed. We'll get you the presentation details in a bit.

Hussey: "Terrific performance, our fielding set the tone. 164 is about par, bowling and fielding was great. Shaun Marsh played beautifully tonight."

Harbhajan: "The fielding was the difference between the two teams, they stopped about 15-odd runs. Had we fielded the way they did, we could have won. It was a good cricketing wicket. We need to regroup and keep our plans simple."

Shaun Marsh is Man of the Match.

Marsh: "It was nice to get a win. They looked good to get 180-190, to bring them down to 160 set it up for us. We're back in the competition now. I backed myself to clear the fence and lucky enough it came off. "

That's all from this game, folks. The next game coming up is between Deccan and Kolkata in Cuttack. See you soon, bye.
