7.20 pm Mumbai stay alive. They have moved on to 12 points and will watch tonight's game between Kings XI and Royals with great interest. If Kings XI win, Mumbai's campaign will still have life. If Royals win, Mumbai are out.

Kevin Pietersen: "The frustrating thing is that we can get so close but can't get over the finish line ... when we keep losing and get so close, we form bad habits. But we're going to fight till the death, all the way through and then we'll see where we go next season. Credit to Gary and the backroom staff, you wouldn't believe we've only won two games ... it's been a fun environment ... if we're losing and the boys can be as happy as this, when we're winning we're going to be a very strong unit."

James: "Had their batting not collapsed towards the end, Mumbai might have won that more easily, and improved their NRR. Could be crucial."

Rohit Sharma: "I thought we played brilliant cricket although we should have played better with the bat .. the kind of start we got ...if not 200 then close to 200. To come out and defend like that, we knew it wouldn't be easy but the bowlers executed their plans. We had quality spinners and fast bowlers so we knew we could defend it ... the five games in Dubai are definitely hurting us, we could have qualified by now. We'll go back to the hotel and watch Rajasthan v Punjab carefully. Whole of Mumbai will be backing Kings XI in that game ... but it's not in our control."

Michael Hussey is the Man of the Match. Bat up, Huss!

Hussey: "This is probably one of my favourite grounds in the world, the atmosphere is phenomenal. Was very fortunate to get a game here. It was a good pitch ... we've had a good trip on the road and coming back here, Mumbai has always played here. We just need Kings XI to win tonight."

That's all I've got for you from this game. Kings XI v Rajasthan, beginning shortly. Don't miss it. Thank you for all your emails. Cheers!
