Full commentary

And that's it from the team for today's match. From me, Firdose, and Raghav, it's goodnight til next time. Thanks for the company. Cheers.

Amit Mishra: "I am feeling nice that the team is winning. I am working hard on my bowling. The wicket was helping spin a bit, so I also tried the googly. Our overseas players were not performing, but they have done well in the last two games."

Kumar Sangakkara: "Another well-played game. We bowled really well, Ravi Teja's catch turned it around for us. We have to do a lot of work, be more athletic, fielding will be a key for us. Batting and bowling, skill wise, we are alright. It was a privilege playing with the Deccan Chargers. All the local Indian boys have made a lot of difference for us. England will be a nice change. I love to play Tests, will need to make a few technical adjustments."

Yuvraj Singh: "We had to win all three but unfortunately nothing went out way. The batters let the team down again. No point in saying we are a better team than we looked, but you have to perform. Some youngsters will get a chance and some overseas players. Now we have to play for pride."

Deccan have ended Pune chance's of qualifying for the knockouts. They made light work of a moderate total and sent off Kumar Sangakkara with a win.

Pune will be disappointed, having had such a good side on paper this tournament. Deccan will be left wondering what if, they seem to have found form when it doesn't matter.

Stay with us for the presentation.

Dhawan: I've been getting out in the 20s a lot, I'd like to make bigger runs for my team. In the last game, I'd like to score big runs for the team and end off with a win. Darren Lehmann has told us to just enjoy the game, keep it simple. I would like to play for India again and stay there for a long time.
