That is all from this game. You can follow the last qualifying match between Mumbai Indians and Northern Districts here.
Hafeez is the Man of the Match. Hafeez: "We knew we had to win, and win comprehensively, and the boys have done the job. Some players came on this platform for the first time, and they have shown courage. We have done the job, let us see how it goes. I was struggling to hit the ball early on, in that over I thought why not go after every ball, and it worked for me. It is always good to come to India. And we want to stay here and play more cricket."
Mumbai Indians are still ahead of Lahore on the run rate, but they will have to beat Northern Districts to go through. The New Zealanders are almost through, barring a loss of staggering proportions
