Presentation
Shaun Marsh is MoM He says, "Nice, we had a great win. All the boys played well, and good feeling at the moment. First time I have got a few off him [Warne], usually he gets me out pretty early. I do enjoy playing here, great place to play cricket. Having a lot of fun at the moment."
Adam Gilchrist: "Three in a row after a poor start. Been a bit of a stop-start tournament, seems like the tournament is just beginning. Fine line, but 2 for 5 is a fair distance from being 0 for 40. Paul backed himself, and Shaun was brilliant. Not too bad [personal form]. It's all helter skelter, don't know much about form in this form of the game."
Shane Warne: "Not the ideal starts. two no-balls could have been two wickets. After that we lost our way. Adam and Paul played really. We pulled them back a bit, but we got off to an ordinary start ourselves. Trying to stay calm [when the no-balls happened], but it's not easy. Something you can't do in Twenty20 cricket. We got outplayed, we didn't do a lot of basic stuff well."
That's three in three for Punjab. And a nice little moment there, Gilly shaking Warne's hand. this time, though, only one of them could have been on the winning side. Big win means Punjab get a big boost in the net run-rate, and are joint top along with Mumbai Indians. Both of them have won three matches each out of their four
