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.

Mohammed Shami to Rahane, SIX, 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. "

Mohammed Shami to Rahane, no run, comes back in again. Rahane not quite picking these inswingers. Mis-timed back to the bowler

Mohammed Shami to Rahane, FOUR, 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."

Mohammed Shami to Bailey, 1 leg bye, more nip for Shami. Good length but starts it too straight, off the pad towards the keeper
