David Miller, Player of the Match: Nice to hit few of the middle, in a five over game, you know you got no options, you just just have to go for it. (lights delay) A lot of things were going on; we obviously wanted to stay, so we had to wait it out and thankfully it came back on

Like I said, you got no option, you got five overs to go, and you need 60, we got 11 batters and we got to try and use every single ball that we got. There was no option, just had to go from ball one and it worked out pretty well so pretty thankful about that. (on world cup memories), to be honest, the world cup wasn't on my mind, it's a quarter final, but it's always big stakes. We are just happy to do really well at the backend in five overs and it was just an extraordinary game. I have never been in a situation like that with the lights going off and not being able to play so just thankfully we got the result.

(on BR campaign) playoff game is just once off game, now we move to semis, what's done is done. Obviously, we have done really good work in group stage and bad as well. Now it's about taking this momentum forward and hopefully get into semifinal and finals.

SONAM: "What a game of cricket DAVIDDDDDD YOU BEAUTYYYYYY"

Mahesh: "Ironically the unlucky SA players have snatched victory from the jaws of elimination. Surely fate is on their side. "

Hinds to Miller, SIX runs

Wow! What a clinical way to finish the contest! Miller, you beauty, shows his value and class in crunch moments. Again bowled full and offers room to breathe, Miller plays a brilliant stroke, picking it from outside off and launches it over extra cover for a majestic six. Lovely swing of the arms and the timing was impeccable. Barbados Royals will play the Qualifier 2 while Knight Riders will pack their bags - tough pill to swallow for Kieron-Pollard's men. Miller has managed to score a fifty in this five-over affair! He is a marvel of nature, an exceptional genius. His emotions reflect as if he has done nothing and he remains cool and composed as he greets his teammates while the fireworks go off as well!

Prabhav: "Miller is probably compensating a win after the suryakumar catch in the WC final.."

Hinds to Miller, SIX runs

Over the wicket, length ball angled across off, he is watching the ball like a football, in his hitting arc and goes out of the park! Way over midwicket, it's all over! Miller has won it singlehandedly

Jordan to Miller, 1 run

Around the wicket, looking for a yorker, fuller in length and tails in at fourth stump line, pings an off-drive to long-off and most importantly he will keep the strike, that is smart batting! now then, only 8 required off 6. Long faces in TNR's camp, body language looks deflated and they fear the worst!

Jordan to Miller, SIX runs

Oh my word! Miller at his best! Misses his target and gets hammered! Low full-toss on middle, smoked over wide long-on for a 91 meters maximum. Oh, he is such a joy to watch when on song, situation was tailor-made for him and he is making TKR pay! Absolutely thumped that one off the meat, crowd noisy! Pollard chatting with Jordan. I think Miller has killed the chase already! What an onslaught!

Jordan to Miller, FOUR runs

Back-to-back boundaries! Jordan releasing the pressure, letting his team down! Strays on the pads and pays the price, gets duly dispatched over midwicket for a four, Miller gets underneath it and uses his fast hands, and subtle wrists to club it for a four, one bounce over the rope. Crowd screaming at the top of their lungs, they waited patiently

3.3

Jordan to Miller, FOUR runs

Tries again and misses the blockhole and that's enough for Miller to munch that over extra cover for four, that has been dispatched insolently, fierce battle, imagine if it went for 20 overs...superb shot, lots of bottom hand and uses brute force in his wrists to manufacture it from there, no chance for fielder to cut it off. 19 off 9

3.2
Jordan to Miller, no run

Precious dot! Jordan with a pinpoint pitch-perfect wide yorker, Miller tries to squeeze it out to point but it's too good for thee, 143 clicks, perfection!

Jordan to Miller, 2 runs

Jordan to finish his two-over spell. This is the over that will decide the fate for both teams. Over the wicket, length ball with some away seam movement towards middle, hacked away and it's a tough one for the fielder at deep midwicket, does well in the end to quickly get rid of the ball and returns a sharp throw

Kapil Baldawa : "After that 6, Royals didn't capitalize. Should have got at least 2-3 more from that over of Narine"

2.6
Narine to Powell, no run

Finishes well with a dot, good recovery after receiving some severe treatment, getting into his groove. Bit short and comes back in insanely towards middle, Powell loses his balance as he tries to maneuver it to the leg side, finished well but Narine doesn't look happy

Narine to Miller, 1 run

Dropped short and wide, can't make full use of it, slapped to sweeper cover's right

Narine to Powell, 1 run

Fraction short and sliding onto the pads, clipped away square of midwicket for a run

2.3
Narine to Powell, no run

Foxed him with a quicker one that almost shaved the off-stump; he had no clue about it, Narine with his cunning methods

Tossed up and sliding across off, steered towards third man for a run

Narine to Miller, SIX runs

Over the wicket, erred in his length, fuller and deviates a touch, he takes a good look, allows it to come closer and then BANG, slog-sweeps it several rows back over long-on. It's a 106 meters monster hit! Excellent timing and placement, Miller at his best!

Jordan to Powell, SIX runs

Served on a plate, fuller on middle and leg, just a mere flick of a wrist and it goes all the way into the stands over deep square. Guess he got two predictable with his length, anything on the pads is a gift and he accepts the gift with both hands. It's neck to neck at the moment, what a fierce battle we are witnessing!

1.5

Jordan to Miller, 1 run

Good comeback, nails almost a perfect yorker and gets it to curl as well, inside-edge skews away to fine leg, they only get a single. Big delivery coming up!

Jordan to Miller, FOUR runs

Nobody movedThat is a magnificent shot! Touch full on off, leans out and fluently square cuts it up and over point for a four, that looked so good on the eyes, worth watching on repeat

1.3
Jordan to Miller, no run

Steaming in, bowls a zinger on a full length and it swings back appreciably into his pads, can't whip it away, brilliant bowling! He is a master of his craft

Jordan to Powell, (no ball) 1 run

Miscues the skier; shortish and nipping away touch from off, Powell can't get on top of the bounce and tries to lift it up and over midwicket, gets a top-edge that flies high into the night sky and Jordan tracks the ball from the bat, into the air and then into his safe hands. Good catch in a tricky situation but hold on! Has he overstepped? Third umpire is checking from different angles and looks like he missed getting some part of the shoe, the margin is in millimeters. Whoa, that will hurt TKR! It's a no-ball! The drama continues! Fist-bump between batters as they look to refocus and try again. Jordan needs to move past this unforced error

1.2
Jordan to Powell, no run

This will exacerbate pressure on BR! On a length and whooshing away on a nagging fourth stump line, he understandably wanted to smoke that over long-on but gets beaten by the lateral movement, new ball dancing around
