Here's the latest points table, Delhi move to 16 points, Rajasthan slump to their fourth loss in a row.

Arjun jokes: "Oye Sehwag! just 2 balls short of 15 overs!" Once again Sehwag 's innings was the centrepiece of Delhi's batting, getting to his fifth straight fifty. The headlines though will be stolen by Pawan Negi, the young left-arm spinner who sliced through the heart of the Rajasthan innings.

Prashanth Avireddi: "@Pranav: Most Attacking Batsman T20I dilshan, Most Consistent Indian Batsman Kohli, Most Consistent SA batsman AB, Finally Most Attacking Batsman Ever Gayle!!!!, for me RCB looks better."

Sharif: "During Test series played abroad, I blinked and Sehwag was out..In IPL this year, I blink and it's his 50!!"

Science: "BCCI would be considering imposing a fine on DD, they finished it before the "strategic" time out."

Presentation ceremony:

Dravid: "We lost wickets, we got a good start, 180 was a par score, we set ourselves up for that, we played our strongest batting line-up of the tournament, so i'm surprised. It's probably the first game out of the 10 where we played poor cricket. Rahane was terrific again, he is getting us starts. If we had got Viru out early, I though we stood a chance, but he is in terrific form, though it hurts he is good to watch."

Sehwag: "I think when we started, we were not favourites, I hope we can continue to be in this sort of form. I think I'm luck y that I scored five fifties in a row."

Pawan Negi is the Man of the Match: "I'm feeling good, I bowled well and I enjoyed myself. I was under pressure, they were well placed when I came on. I have got to learn a lot here interacting with players of the Delhi squad."

George Binoy has his report of the game here. It has been one of the most one-sided games of the tournament, join us tomorrow to see how Bangalore v Punjab turns out. Till then, its over and out from Cricinfo.

Hogg to Sehwag, OUT

Sehwag is gone, he has holed out to backward point, he wanted to carve that over the off side, an ambitious shot against the wiles of Hogg, but in this mood Sehwag can pull off anything, this time though he can't get it past Dravid at backward point
