So that's all we have for you tonight. Let me remind you that Hobart Hurricanes have joined Kings XI Punjab and Kolkata Knight Riders in the semi-final. Tomorrow's Lahore Lions' game will decide if they or Chennai Super Kings crash that party. Look out for our preview tomorrow. That will have most of those details. For now, Alagappan Muthu is gettin outta heeeeere!

Akshar Patel is the Man of the Match for his three for 15. "I'm very happy with the captain and the management's support. I do very well in batting and bowling."

"Good fightback with the ball and we did the job with the bat," says George Bailey "It was a tired wicket, holding up a little bit and it was pretty clinical in the end. Wonderjob job, he does through the innings. He contains, he takes wickets and he does it with a short sleeved shirt which is pleasing. They bowl very beautifully together. I reckon he's a little lucky tonight."

Gaurav Manchand: "So Maxwell-Ashwin battle will be on the cards again if lahore loins fails to beat Perth Scorchers by a big margin." You bet

stranger: "Very satisfied by this performance from KXIP, wicket was slow with little bit uneven bounce, they adjusted well to it. Would love to see them win this league now."

"We knew we had to put a big score with such a strong batting line up. We tried out best out there but unfortunately not good enough," says stand-in Cobras captain Dane Vilas. "Came in rusty and started too slow and playing catch up is very tough. The spinners bowled beautifully. Robbie bowled beautifully and SR [Engelbrecht], with the other game as well, hes been great"

"Always. Feeling happy, two outstanding stumpings. Peterson's catch, awesome fielding. Instinct told me the stumping was out. Skip and the management told me to rotate strike if the wickets go early. That's my strength," says a breathless Wriddhiman Saha

Kings XI would be far more pleased with their bowling. They dismissed the opposition. They pulled back a pretty rampant top order. That should put them in good stead going forward

11.00 pm The total was never a challenge for Kings XI. At one point it seemed like Viru and Maxi were only there to get a little practice ahead of the semis. Cobras though willed themselves through it. Vilas was screaming that it wasn't over several times. They competed as hard as they could, but they just lacked the firepower this format needs.

Philander to Miller, 1 run

banged in short, he caught Miller by surprise there. Summons a little extra pace from a tired deck. The top-edge though doesn't carry as far as the deep fine leg fielder

back of a length on off stump, pushed into the off side

Philander to Saha, FOUR runs

slog from Saha, took it up from a length and has hammered it away to cow corner. Doesn't have the power for a Maxi or a Miller. But he is still a strong contributor

flighted on off stump, Miller gets forward and blocks. Gets a word from his captain. They're not giving up, the Cobras

Engelbrecht to Miller, no run

finds the blockhole there and almost had Miller out napping. He was loading up for a drill down the ground and had to hurry into the shot to protect his leg stump

"KXIP management has told its batsmen to get out after getting to 23 in order to give everyone a chance to bat in the dead rubber. It doesn't seem like Saha got the memo. " We believe you completely, Manu
