That's the winning hit, and it's an emphatic winning hit. It's tossed up on the stumps, and Miller's slog-swept that out of the planet.

Cricinfo’s Most Valuable Players of the Match
Presentation time George Bailey: "The way Awana and Mitchie bowled, that set the tone. We'll go back to basics now. It doesn't matter what order you finish. Everyone starts from zero come finals time."
Bailey also asked what a bowler has to do to win Man of the Match, and, well, bowling Delhi out for 115 isn't the answer to his question. Manan Vohra is the Man of the Match
"It's my home ground, so it's always fun to bat out there," Vohra says. "I guess the management had a better plan for me. I was just waiting for my turn. I knew when I get a chance I could do something special. Players like Maxwell, David Miller, George, Viru pa. They're strokeplayers, and it gives me the freedom to go after the bowling."
That's it from us for this game. Pop over here for our live commentary from the Mumbai-Rajasthan game, which will begin very very soon. Thanks for tuning in, and for posting your comments.
ramu: "2 overs for Unadakat. KP, are you kidding me? 2-0-3-1"
Viru is beaming as he comes out to shake hands with his former teammates. Daredevils might wonder if they were better off with their bespectacled basher on their side. But then, they didn't do particularly well last season either.
It's been a crushing defeat for Daredevils in their last match of the season. Ninth straight defeat for them, and they've lost all nine matches they've played in India this season. Lots of soul-searching to do, because you'd think, looking through their squad, that they have too many good players to perform this poorly.
Kevin Pietersen apologises to Delhi's fans He says they batted poorly, and shouldn't have posted such a low total on this pitch. He then sums up the season: "It's been an enjoyable experience, but on the field there's been a lot of not-so-good stuff."
