That's that, Punjab keep their hopes alive by a slender margin yet again. I haven't done the mathematics about the net run-rate but I am sure they would have preferred a better win than only by seven runs, especially with net run-rate being their only way to go through if the results go their way.

Good bowling by Praveen and Sandeep tonight, but some strange batting tactics around the batting order and quite a slow start from Mahela Jayawardene.

-----------

Neeraj Sharma: "I don't know about you Praveen but Suneer is one person who always know who's gonna out and always publish a comment which praise a good playing batsmen just before he gets OUT....."

Madan Jalari: "Morne has some untapped batting skills..after all he shares genes with Albie morkel" The last I heard he was looking to emulate Matthew Hayden with the bat.

Kevin: "Cricket fan@ An interesting thing on the points table, both PWI & DD are with same points 6 out of their 15 games... NOW a decider on May 19, 2013 between Warriors v Daredevils at Pune ..... That's going to be interesting to watch that who wants to finish the TOP (of-course from BOTTOM)"

senthil: "Match update - DD top order's Cowan job cost them the match by losing by a mere 7 runs." Cowan job is just right.

Presentation quotes

Jayawardene: The wicket did a bit and their bowlers did well. That's the season for us, very close but not close enough. Needed to settle in, they bowled good areas, we lost wickets, Ben batted well but wasn't good enough. We wanted to change a few things, up front was going to be tough so changed them. Need to reduce our mistakes.

Gilchrist: Slight chance yep, watch with interest what happens next couple of days. There's no better place to play cricket in the world than this, it's a beautiful place here. Miller's come off age this season, the world now knows his value. Not surprised with Sandeep's success, he's aggressive and you want to keep an eye on it.

David Miller is the man of the match: Enjoyed hitting the straighter six more than the others. It's a small ground here and if you can hit hard enough, the mis-hits can go for a six too. In nets, try and practice as close as possible to the game situation.

So that brings us to the end of the game, one that was the 67th of the tournament. Five more for the league stage to get done, nine for the tournament. I will be back tomorrow again, hoping for a much more contest between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Rajasthan Royals. Hyderabad need the win to survive, Royals need the win to try and finish in the top two. But till then, that's it from me, Suneer, signing off, have a very good night!

sudhar: "@suneer, what have you done? why did u publish praveen's comment..." That's the first one I have got in a while asking me why have I published a comment. Usually it's the other way around.
