That is it for this game. Have a look at Sid Ravindran's report. Another match will begin in under an hour. Log on for that

Behardien, the Man of the Match: "I bided by time, and it was only during the last two overs that I capitalised." Says it has become a trend for finishers to take their time at the death, size up the conditions and the attack, and then have a go

van Jaarsveld: "Asked the bowlers to hit the deck really hard, when they do that, it is easy to captain. Behardien is a great finisher. He's done that for us all summer."

Hopkins: "The batting let us down. We were happy to restrict them to 170. We have to move on quickly from this."

No fight at all from Auckland, apart from the last pair, who have salvaged some hope as far as the net run-rate is concerned. Titans already have a foot in the semi-finals with two more games to play

Ben: "In 38 T20's prior to this, Bates got a total of 2 runs. He's putting to shame the AA batsmen." No NZ side is complete without someone impersonating He Who Walks
