Gloom in the Mumbai camp as a semi-final berth from here on in looks highly unlikely. South Australia, on the other hand, will back themselves to reach the knockouts after recording their second successive win. Mumbai were boosted by their middle order but were let down in the field with a spate of dropped catches and misfields, particularly when the openers were batting, to undermine the advantage they had gained after smashing 122 in their final ten overs. It's been excellent entertainment. Do stay tuned in for the presentation.

Daniel Harris is the Man of the Match for his half-century up front: "We felt they bowled well early. It was about having wickets in the shed and we had some luck. Mumbai hit their lengths, we were facing Malinga for the first time but we got away with a bit of luck. We knew we were on track and the guys at the end played extremely well under pressure and did the business for us."

Tendulkar: "To get to 180 was an excellent job by the batsmen. It was the fielding that cost us the game. We needed to keep keep getting wickets at regular intervals and we had our opportunities but we couldn't quite do it. Throughout it was 10-11 runs an over and we were very much in the game. We have to pick up our performance and it's important that we produce something special."

Klinger: "It was a super effort. WE backed ourselves to chase those runs. We've been chasing well in our practice games and I couldn't ask for a better effort from the boys. Our batsmen did well to run hard between wickets and target the short boundaries. I'd like to thank our supporters, families and members back home for a pretty special win for us."

That's all from us. Thanks for tuning in and do join us tomorrow for a double-header. Until then, it's goodbye.
