That is it from us for this game. Join us for the second game of the day that begins in Bangalore in half an hour.

Sunny Sohal is the Man of the Match. Sohal: "I thought I had to play the full overs. I have played here before but could not score much, so I decided I have to score today. Our captain tells us to go out and have fun in the middle."

Kumar Sangakkara: "Feel a lot better now that we have won. Everyone chipped in, Delhi came back well, we were lucky to get Viru. I have been batting okay for a few months now, that is my job, keep well and bat well. I think the youngsters like Sohal have to enjoy themselves when they go out to the middle, at the same time they have to keep learning. Nice to have them in the side."

Virender Sehwag: "If you look at other teams when they get a good start, they usually win the game. Hopefully me and Warner can give a good start as well."

Delhi lose their third match of this tournament, this time at home, their campaign was just getting back on track when they beat Pune and they've been derailed a bit again. They're sitting second last on the log now.

The Chargers also needed the win desperately and they've managed it. They batted well. although it seeemed they were 15 runs or so short. They move to fourth place.

Stay with us for the presentation

Harsha interviews Amit Mishra in Hindi and the bits I could understand were that Amit says he prefers a wicket with bounce, he didn't really like today's pitch and that the Chargers will have a small party after today's result.
