Right, that's it from this game folks. The second match of the evening is starting shortly.
Presentation
Andrew Gale: "I thought we were 15-20 runs short. When we started to get some momentum we kept losing wickets, and we were sloppy in the field as well. Loved playing in the Champions' League, thanks to the messages we got from our supporters."
Raina: "We bowled really well. MS told me to enjoy the captaincy, it was a good opportunity for me today. The ball came on slowly, and it was holding a bit.
"Disappointing that we didn't qualify. We could have won this Championship, but we're going home."
Badrinath is man of the match: "The ball wasn't coming on, so we decided to take our time and we had a couple of partnerships and that's what got us home. Once you take your time, you can play your shots."
"We were unlucky in a couple of close games - ten runs either side. But we'll come back stronger next year."
Priyadarshi Mishra: "Strangely all the IPL teams are coming back to form after they have been knocked out !!! Wonder if their earlier losses had something to do with pressure." Perhaps - or maybe they just took too long to adapt to the conditions in South Africa. Teams used to playing on fast tracks with a little bounce have prospered in this tournament.
Yorkshire won both their qualifying matches, but end without a win in the main draw. Like KKR, CSK have secured a face-saving but ultimately meaningless victory.
