That is it from me, hope you had a good time following this game despite the long wait due to rain. I will be back tomorrow with the two games, when Mumbai take on Pune and Punjab play Rajasthan.
Presentation Ceremony:
Sehwag: Boys did very well, bowlers bowled brilliantly after we won the toss. Fielded very well. Finch outscored me, played very well.
Gambhir: The way Morne bowled, he bowled some quality stuff. The total we had was a quality total in the end, but they batted well. Pathan was excellent with his batting.
Irfan Pathan edges out Morne Morkel to walk away with the man of the match award.
Pathan: I wasn't looking forward to hitting Yusuf for the boundary. The pace of the ball helped me time my shots.
That is an excellent knock from Pathan, unbeaten 42 from only 20 balls. When he walked out at three, it was a bit of a surprise - to me at least - but he has done more than what was expected out him, continuing the good work done by Morne Morkel with the ball.
Pathan himself admits that he was expecting to bat seven. He also says that they wanted to target one bowler towards the end, and it turned out to be Marchant de Lange. And to add to it, he is candid enough to say that he did not like hitting his brother Yusuf for a four in that penultimate over!

Biggie! Pathan's got his third six and that did not hit the middle either! He has changed it around with those two sixes.

de Lange to Pathan, 2 runs
Short again and Pathan has smacked it away again! But this time there is a fielder there and they run two.

1
de Lange to Maxwell, 1 run
Another ball in the block-hole and played it out to mid-wicket for a run.
This is worth a try, Sudipta: "They should give Yusuf a ball. Irfan may become emotional and get out."
9.2
1
de Lange to Pathan, 1 run
Yorker length from that height and Pathan does well to dig it out to mid-on.

de Lange to Pathan, SIX runs
Smash! Short ball from de Lange and Pathan hits the sweetest part of the bat, it goes the distance.
That six really helped. Only 28 needed from three overs now.

Kallis to Pathan, SIX runs
Finally connected and the pressure is lifted off for now. Far too many singles and dot balls before this but this time it was right in the slot and Pathan smashes it over long-on.
35 needed from 20 now.

Good short one and that is only a single off that pull.

1
Kallis to Pathan, 1 run
Pitched in the slot but it seemed a tad slower and Pathan does not connect properly. had he connected a tad more, it may have gone into the long-on's hands. And a little more than that, it would have cleared him. Only a single here.

Kallis to Pathan, 2 runs
Tries to drive it over the covers but did not get it off the middle and that falls just short of the fielder.

Bhatia to Maxwell, no run
Another slower one and the batsman had no idea about it. A stifled appeal but an excellent over there, only three from it.
