That is it from us for this game. Join us tomorrow for more from the IPL. Abhishek Purohit signing off for now. Cheers

Umesh Yadav is the Man of the Match. Umesh: "Normally, Viru pa gives us the ball and tells us to bowl according to ourselves. It is the short format, you keep going for fours and sixes even off good balls. I was getting some swing."

Sehwag: "There was little movement for the fast bowlers, Varun and Umesh bowled beautifully, took early wickets and put pressure on Kings XI. We were expecting that Mahela could play till the end and finish the game. It is difficult to go in and play your shots; he took his time."

Hussey: "We fought the game out really well. Full credit to Irfan and Mahela. Delhi are a very talented team. Awana's sort of come from nowhere, he's been the find of the tournament for us as far as bowling is concerned."

Irfan and Mahela embrace, Hussey has hands on his knees. Delhi Daredevils are the first team to make it to the IPL 2012 playoffs. Kings XI Punjab are not out of it yet, but they have to face Delhi once more out of their two remaining games

Kings XI fought, but Delhi had too much depth for them, and 136 was too modest a total to defend

Kishore: "swing with ball...now swing with bat....irfan does it again!!!"

reddy: "Match result apart, today we have witnessed India's bright pace future - Varun, Yadav, Awana."

Mahela gets to fifty, he was looking to make room initially, Mahmood followed him with a back of a length ball, Mahela recovered quickly to swat-pull it through square leg, despite being off-balance

how clean is this from Irfan, Awana's line has been awry this over, now this one is full on the pads, and Irfan swings it powerfully in front of square leg

Awana to Pathan, FOUR runs

Irfan doing it, there was width this time outside off, the ball was pitched up, and Irfan smoked it off the front foot, one bounce to the deep extra cover rope

17.4

Awana to Pathan, 2 runs

and again, almost, Irfan gets the swing going again, and the pitched up ball is timed even better this time, deep square somehow manages to stop the four, he cannot do it cleanly though, and Irfan gets back in time for the second

17.3

Awana to Pathan, FOUR runs

deep square leg cannot stop this one with a dive, straight and shortish, and Irfan swats it behind square

17.2
Awana to Pathan, no run

Irfan tries to launch him through extra cover but there wasn't enough room to play that shot, the ball bounced as well

Midwicket goes to the rope

Nagesh: "More for you harsimran ,a maiden!"

how on earth, but it is a maiden, from Piyush Chawla to Mahela, flat and wide outside off stump, should have sped away past point, but the cut went straight to the fielder
