slogged away to long-on for another single, and Zinta hugs whoever is around her. The biggest win in this season
That's all we have for you. So long, and thanks for all the fish
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

Yagnik is the new man
