That is all from us, do join us tomorrow. On your way back, have a look at Sid Monga's bulletin. Cheers!
Brendon McCullum is the Man of the Match. Brendon: "when the rain started it was disappointing, thankfully we got a game. I try and remain true to my game and play to my instincts, sometimes it comes, sometimes it doesn't. Parthiv and Mahela played well. We have some quality players, Hodge and Jadeja coming in to finish off was brilliant."
Mahela Jayawardene: "We bowled well, that was the difference. After the rain the 5-6 overs were very crucial. You don't anticipate these kind of things like the rain. We did the little things right, executed well, batted well. The crowd is brilliant, hope they keep turning up."
MS Dhoni: "The interruption did not help at all. The overs we lost were crucial. the big hitters were left in the dressing room. Credit to their batting. Brendon played very well, and the others as well. Not enough runs on the board."
Stay with us for the presentation.
Tariq: "What lost Chennai the match? Rain or D/L method?" How about neither?
Kochi have completed a sensational win, beating the defending champions and notching up a maiden win in front of their own crowd. Geoff Lawson said that if they could beat Mumbai in Mumbai anything would be possible, and it has been. The victory puts them into the top four.
Patel: I thought our bowlers did a superb jon to restrict them. My strength was against the left-arm spinner. You have to look to play some shots in twenty-over cricket.
