It was a difficult pitch and none except Jesse Ryder batted with any conviction in their chase of 143. Easy 34-run win for the Knight Riders, which is a huge margin given that Kolkata scored only so much. Kolkata go through as the second-placed side and will now play Delhi in the Qualifier 1. Mumbai Indians will be up against one of Chennai Super Kings or Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Eliminator.

Stay tuned for the presentation.

Gambhir: We wanted to finish in the top 2, we play Delhi now and helps us two cracks. We were discussing before this game to treat this as the quarter-finals and win the next three matches to win the IPL.

Ganguly: It has been a tough season, young franchise, struggled with the pitch, the toss played its part, need to deal with it and get better.We need to get away from this, allow the boys to get away from wherever they are, no point in having post-mortems straightaway, lot of things to do, get the right side. Haven't thought about my own plans.

Shakib al Hasan, man of the match: It is very similar to wickets back home, was hitting the ball well, had a good net session last night which was good. We knew we could change the momentum by hitting a couple of boundaries. The way we are bowling throughout the tournament, it was going to chase 135-140 against us. We are confident and we would like to continue playing the way we have, the pitch should help us in the Qualifier.
