11.20pm A really quality game from Kings XI has just opened up the lower end of this points table. After keeping Mumbai to 124, Kings XI lost Amla early. But Saha and Vijay put on a clinical batting display on a tough surface to show Mumbai's batsmen how it is done. Both hit fifties and helped Kings XI romp home with three overs to spare. A convincing win. Mumbai will have to pick themselves up quickly, they have to win at least one of their last two games.

Marcus Stoinis, Man of the Match: "Wicket suited my bowling. Looked tough to score. used the odd change of pace. Maybe was saying it was a blessing in disguise that we got to chase. Team effort for sure, all bowlers bowled well. great start."

M Vijay: "Was hitting the ball well, now everything falling together. We were missing out on winning moments. Wicket was on a slower side, the first six overs set the tone for us. 140 was defendable. Wanted to cut down on the risk factor while batting."

Rohit Sharma: "Poor execution, wicket wasn't easy to be honest. Was sticky. we should have applied a little bit. Posting 125 is not going to be easy to defend. Kings XI used the conditions really well. We tried some things, it didn't work. Too much talking doesn't help sometimes. We know what to expect, we have played 2 games here. 140 is a winning score here."
