Length delivery angled across the batter outside off stump and Mendis looks to go over long on. The angle, though, means that he has to drag it and in that process, he only ends up slicing it tamely towards extra cover, where Irfan runs back and completes a regulation catch. 184/8 3.2 toPA Patel, gone this time! Given a little more air on a full length on middle and leg stump. Parthiv has another swipe across the line but on this occasion, he is no...

Yusuf Pathan, Player of the Match: (On his bowling) I am enjoying my cricket. Whenever the team needs, the runs and the wickets are coming. Everyone is contributing and that feels very good. I am just enjoying myself. The most important thing is to enjoy the game and the more you do it, the more freely you can play. Parthiv Patel, Gujarat Giants captain: We had a wonderful crowd here and I am sure they enjoyed the game, which went till the 20th over. We did not get the flurry that we needed at the end, probably 15-20 runs short. We wanted to bowl fuller and into the stumps but we got hit to the square boundaries. We want to get on the right side of these games. We wanted to bring Mendis in after the 10th over but the ball became soft and we decided against it. Irfan Pathan, Bhilwara Kings captain: Great team effort. I think Gayle's wicket was very crucial. As long as he is there, you never know. As soon as he gets out, we knew controlling the game was easier. We could not bowl Panesar but we still had enough options. Special mention to Jesal Karia, who came in late but has performed superbly. 11:20pm This contest ebbed and flowed for large parts. But just when it mattered, the Kings held their nerve. They were superb as push came to shove towards the back end of their batting innings. The Giants' planning and execution left a little to be desired but you can't take anything away from the way the Kings batted. Porterfield and van Wyk got things going at the start. Karia ens...
