That's it from us at Cricinfo towers. Hope you enjoyed the coverage. See you again tomorrow for the double-header from Ranchi.

Dwayne Smith is man of the match: I know if I spend time at the crease, I will get runs, so that's what I tried to do. I can change my game, especially when we are losing wickets, and it's up to me to be smart and do that. I just have to be confident.

Sharma: There was something in the wicket and we used it to our conditions. Credit to the bowlers who restricted a good batting line up. In our practice games, Mitchell Johnson was bowling really quick, and that's really good for our team. There was pressure on us to perform and we got the result we wanted.

Presentation to follow shortly

Petersen: We were looking at 160, we looked good to get it early on, but lost our way. It wasn't quite like the Wanderers here, because it was a touch slow, but it was a brilliant wicket.

Sohail Tanvir to Smith, 1 wide, that seemed to clip the pad, but it makes little difference. Down the legside from Tanvir, and Mumbai stay alive in the competition with their first win

Sohail Tanvir to Smith, 2 runs, shortish and wide, slapped to deep point who runs around to cut it off

Sohail Tanvir to Smith, no run, sconed! but no real damage. Smith seems not to have picked up that bouncer and he is hit on the side of the helmet

Pretorius to Pollard, SIX, boom! Pollard finishing this in a hurry. It's shortish on middle stump and Pollard swings it high over square leg again. Not pretty, but incredibly destructive

Pretorius to Smith, 1 run, on the legs, and the batsman take a run after it hits the pads
