game over, Delhi have won, Cobras have been bowled out for 84, it was a short ball, the batsman swung it towards deep midwicket, Dilshan jumps at takes the catch just inside the rope, the umpire ask for the replay which shows he never touched the boundary, so Cobras lose

Full commentary
Cobras now take on T&T in Hyderabad. The other semi-final will be an all-Australian affair in Delhi.
I think Puttick will be hard pressed to explain his decision to bowl first on this track, which was extremely hard to bat on.
Richards from South Africa: "All the talk about T&T being the only fun loving team is getting a little much. Lets be honest, Simmons and Pollard are not the exactly a barrel of laughs when they batting. During Pollards demolition of the Aussies, he did not even BLINK let along smile or joke, he was focussed, and intimidating to say the least. The Bravo brothers do smile. Contract to Cobras, captain is most laid back guy at the tournament, and they are chilled relaxed and laughing all the time. I guess people see what they wanna see, or what the hype says they should see!!"
Wendy from Trinidad and Tobago wants the Caribbean side to win because: "hope that TT win the finals as there will be another public holiday if they do and we can use that to go to the beach"
Post-match presentation
The Man of the Match is Owais Shah. "I really struggled to get off the mark, once you get in it all becomes easier. I think the guys were desperate to win though we were out of the tournament."
Puttick: "We are not too concerned (by Gibbs' form). He's a good player, he's a guy for the big occasion. Francois is very raw, but he's got the ability to bowl really quickly, he's an exciting talent. We are not happy to lose any game. We are all really pysched for the game, Hyderabad is one of the best wickets we have played in in India."
Gambhir: "We have given something for the crowd to cheer. We wanted to finish on a high note, and that's what we did. It's great to have Nannes in the side. Owais batted very sensibly, we always knew that 120 was a winning total. I want to thank the Delhites for supporting us."
Liam from T&T: "Wendy, we won't get a public holiday for winning a club tournament, unfortunately. Let's not give Trinidad a bad name now.
And Richards, I think the fun-loving aspect was more to do with efforts in the field and wicket celebrations, which are unmatched in this tournament."
That's it from us at Cricinfo today. Join us on Wednesday for the semi-final between NSW and Victoria. Till then it's goodbye from us. Thanks for the many mails, and the discussions.
