Thanks for joining us tonight, and I will leave you with Vijay's unorthodox take on this Mumbai win. Make sure you jump over to the other live scorecard for the second match of the evening,
Vijay : "Sachin has done again what he has been doing for years. Grab all the opponent's attention on him so that rest of the team can play freely and win the matches"
So Mumbai Indians will likely play CSK in the semi-finals (unless Chennai lose by a big margin against T&T). Tendulkar gets another match in coloured clothes.
Rohit Sharma is man of the match: It was a good game, and there was a lot of pressure to get over the lines, but we had the mindset that any target was possible. Our ploy to bat second paid off because we knew what we had to get. We are peaking at the right time and everyone is contributing. We respond well to pressure. I've played here so much now, and I know what to expect from this wicket. It wasn't easy to hit square so I tried to hit as straight as possible.
Simon Katich: I thought we put up a great score thanks to three young players, but they came hard at us with the bat. Some of our young players have been great during this tournament and they've showed they've got great careers ahead of him. Everyone knew it was a full house because Sachin was playing and it's always special to play here. Disappointed to go out the way we did, but there were some positives.
Dwayne Smith: First over a one or two were staying in the pitch, but I thought I'd stay positive and go for my shots. I was talking to Pollard a couple of days ago, and we said "If Perth give us a chance and we qualify, we're going to be hard to stop going into the finals"."
Poor James Neesham's twitter feed has fallen silent, but what an innings from Sharma.

Manu : "How come Rohit never plays like this for India? It usually takes him 60 balls to get to 30 for India in ODIs. I remember India having to chase 349 against Lanka in the West Indies Tri Series in July, and Rohit scored 5 off 13. Today, he scored over 30 runs in the first 13 balls."
Hogg again
