Presentation time
Ashok Dinda is the Man of the Match: "very happy we won the match. Bowl wicket to wicket and swing the ball. We were unlucky a couple of games, this game we were giving 200% effort."
MS Dhoni: "Fast bowlers bowled well, they give a platform for the spinners. It's good to seem them bowl as a unit together. And a bit of luck. Followed by some good rain. No point taking extra pressure. you have to bowl according to what your strength is. Even if you are hit for big sixes, it doesn't matter because you have to bowl to your plans and that what matters. We were worried about who is our best bowling option. It gives us that comfort level for the next season. Next game we have to give a chance to the new bowlers. Chahar for example, he can get a bit of swing."
Zaheer Khan: "We just have to turn up the next game and go for it. it's simplified for us, 2 out of 2. Table is till wide open. Winning the next two with good NRR could take us to the top 2. couple decisions didn't go our way. I'm happy with the way things are, we are still in the hunt. Communication in the team has been fantastic. Few changes were forced, few have been strategic."
11.58pm The match has been called off. Supergiants win by 19 runs (D/L)
Daredevils' 121 was never going to be enough against Supergiants once they started decently. Khawaja and Rahane provided them with that start and rain interrupted with Supergiants cruising. A crucial loss for Daredevils, how badly will this affect them?
11.50pm Still a persistent drizzle. Nothing much to add.
11.40pmAnd it is too heavy again so off go the players. The covers scurry back onto the surface. More and more covers come in. Steadily falling. DLS par 57. We will lose overs from now.
The drizzle has returned
six. Shot, much better. Plays it with the direction of swing. Overpitched on middle, Rahane clears one foot and pummels the lofted drive over long-on with enviable ease. Picked his spot
Garvit Dixit: "Cricket and Football is different. Football you play the same way in 90 mins. But in cricket, the Super Sub formula would just end up with teams having 12 players where you can switch the bowler to a batsmen after an innings. "
comes back in again. Rahane not quite picking these inswingers. Mis-timed back to the bowler
135kph, back of a length outside off. Rahane flays at the ball and gets a thick outside edge to the third man boundary
Chopra: "I remember back in the day when getting 59 from 60 balls was actually considered suspenseful."
more nip for Shami. Good length but starts it too straight, off the pad towards the keeper
Sid: "@oppurtunistic ... Kohli, ABD and Warner have changed the expectations of fans"
nice start. Good length on off, the ball jgs back in prodigiously. Rahane is cramped for room, the ball sneaks back in and clips the pad first before the bat. To point.
Shami
big appeal, the googly. Bailey doesn't pick it and is beaten. rapped on the pads but sliding down leg
fullish, but Rahane goes back instead of coming forward, but pushes to cover
flatter delivery, was it the googly? Rahane punches back
Virag: "This is off topic , but IPL should start allowing in-game substitutions like football. Will add a interesting dynamic to the game and horses for courses will have new values. 2 subs per match would be ideal."
lots of flight on off, driven with the spin to long-off
s;lightly too short on off and Rahane rocks back quickly to flay a cut to deep point
goes wider of the crease and bowls it fuller, Rahane defends
Mishy to continue
134 kph, back of a length outside off, punched to cover off the back foot
133 kph, back of a length outside off, glided off the open face to third man
Optimistix: "Bailey has a T20 strike rate of over 133 - it's ridiculous to call him "too slow for T20s" because of a couple of innings. Lots of knee-jerk criticism nowadays."
shortish delivery on off, sits up for Bailey to swivel to deep square leg
fullish and wide, not a great resumption from NCN. Scythed to deep point
11.30pm Back come the players. Rahane and Bailey return. NCN remarks his guard and is set to go. So am I. A slip in place.
11.18pm Play will resume at 11.30pm, 12 minutes from now. No reduction in overs.
Rupak: "I feel Bailey is too slow for T20. He made 34 from 40 against RCB, today going at SR of 46. This is way too slow for T20. He's putting more pressure on people coming after him. Minimum SR of 100 should be easy for anyone at this level."
Faizan Sirwal: "Can't Delhi get Billings for duminy and open with Pant "
11.15pm The stumps have been erected so won't be long before we have play. Should have a full game, too. Confirmation soon.
10.52pm Inspection at 11.15, says Arun Venugopal.
Richie: "From a neutral point of view, a loss for Delhi here will open up the points table dramatically."
Balu: "If DD lose this match and MI lose to GL then the match DD vs RCB will be a virtual qualifier "
10.50pm Covers coming off. The super sopper is still mowing the covers spread across the square
10.45pm The rain seems to have stopped.
We will start losing overs after 11.34. But the good news is the intensity of the showers has dramatically reduced. Scheduled close of play is 12.19, says Arun V from the ground.
10.35pm The covers are being readied. And the rain is a bit too heavy, covers coming on. Supergiants ahead of DLS par. Par score is 42. Getting heavier and heavier is this rain. Steady downpour for the moment.

Some rain around
executes this time. Short delivery on off, the all jags back in but Rahane sways out of the way and gets some bat on his upper cut. Got it off the inside half of the bat, but to the fine leg boundary
82 kph, nice end to the over. Flat on middle but gets some turn. Leading edge to point for a run
flatter trajectory on middle, pushed to midwicket, A bit of a fumble allows one
