That's all we have for tonight. Do join us again tomorrow at 3.30 pm for more IPL action. For now, this is Alagappan Muthu signing off

Shane Watson is the Man of the Match "Certainly due. Through the tournament I wasn't able to get going. Three or four day build up was good to sort things out, my batswing and all. Had a couple of days to work on a couple of things and be ready to go from the first ball. [Giving up captaincy] Especially bowling wise, it's hard for me to know when I should bowl and when not to and the most important thing for me is to execute my skills. So many incredible sides in the IPL, not many weaknesses among them. For us its about riding the waves and going to the finals and giving ourselves the best chance to win. As good as I've batted in a long while, especially in T20 cricket, just to feel at ease in the way I was hitting the ball"

"It was a massive game, must-win and those are the moments you play for and even better to come out on top," says Smith, "I ducked off the Dubai for three nights [to switch off] The boys trained well last night and we were ready for the challenge. Not really, We have a lot of belief in the group and I think we're pretty much through to the finals. Out attitude tonight was magnificent. Ajinkya and Watto were brilliant. They set the platform, got a little tight in the end so the bowlers did well. it's been one of the better wickets here. Have to back, rebuild and get ready again"

D: "KKR failed to impress this season Robin, Pandey, GG were out of form, Sunil seems to be impacted by his ban. They should thank Russell for carrying them till here."

"Frankly speaking we were really nervous at the start. Everyone played really well, especially Watto. Crucial game, great innings," Rahane says, "The way they were batting, we thought even 200 was not enough. Bowlers bowled really well and we knew we had to pick up wickets. Morris bowled a great spell. Umesh can play, and no one knows what happens at the end, but in T20s we need to take wickets. it's a really exciting time and we're looking forward to the playoffs"

"Obviously our destiny was in our hands, but we seem to have messed it up. Lot of credit to the Royals. 199 would be tough on any wicket, and credit to Shane the way he batted. If a top order batsman batted through more often than not they'd win," Gambhir says, "170-180 could have been an ideal total, we knew it would he high-scoring. The points table shows all sides are quality. It's one of the difficult leagues to play. We've played reasonably good cricket., but there are games we should have won. That's why we're here. It's going to be tough, but you have to take it on your chin and move on"

Allen: "I reckon KKR are out if this IPL as RCB has a healthy runrate, even if they lose they will go through. Winners of SRH vs MI match will also go through. So no chance for KKR this time." ---- Unless SRH v MI is a washout

Vivek: "Morris deserves MoM more than Watson. Four crucial wickets at less than 6rpo. Took a pathetic bowling effort home."

John A: "Gambir will be wearing his pads till tomorrow.. hoping for a miracle :P"

12.00 am Lots of smiles and high-fives from the Royals. Samson gives Watson a bail and lets him lead them off. Knight Riders took on the target of 200, despite a couple of early wickets. Yusuf Pathan and Andre Russell were motoring and 10-15 an over and the bowler was slipping away. Wides and short balls were sprayed around. But Chris Morris, withe an economy of 5.75, was their guiding light

Smith claps, and then wipes his hands on the towel. Watson raises his hands in triumph already

12 off 2... unless there are more wides. Third man and fine leg up. Long-off back

Abhinav: "was it at this stadium that last year RR were knocked off? " --- That was Wankhede

KKR need 16 runs, Royals must be sweating... and not just because of the heat. Morris is the man... around the wicket
