That's all from us at ESPNcricinfo. Or atleast from this tab. Click here to watch the evening game between Mumbai Indians and Punjab Kings. The players are taking the field now. See you on the other side
Venkatesh Iyer, two wickets today: "Felt good with the ball. Always had the confidence that I can deliver with the ball. I do practice the yorker a lot. I practice with my bowling coach Anand Rajan. For me, it's about accuracy and bowling to my field. As long as my execution is current, I am extremely satisfied. I think to be a player who can help in all three departments is good. I thrive fielding as well. I've always wanted to be that cricketer."
Mustafa Moudi : "Funny enough but this is the worst Win for KKR in UAE this season in terms of Balls remaining. Such is the dominance for KKR !!"
Losing captain Rishabh Pant: "I think we were 10 short, not much. We knew wicket would slow down in the second innings. But every team is trying to win the match. We want to give 100% and if it doesn't go our way we will learn and move on. Batting was pretty difficult for new batters. We wanted to capitalise in the end with the bat, but we lost wickets and ended up 10 short. Bowling performance - really happy. There isn't a massive change that we need to do."
5.38pm We all knew even 128 would be tricky on this surface, but the Knight Riders have found a way to win, and have defeated top-two side Delhi Capitals. That means the Knight Riders are sitting pretty on fourth with 10 points, with other teams now needing to chase them. Knight Riders will be especially happy that Narine and Rana got runs with the bat. The Capitals camp will surely rethink their bowling strategy for this match. A win would've secured a top-four finish for the Capitals, but that wasn't to be.
Johann: "Sunil Narine for MoM. 2/18 and he slayed the dragon!"

Hamza: "Seven sixes from KKR as compared to 0 from DC. surely this is enough to decide the victorious team in a T20 game."

Physio Patrick Farhart having a look at Pant's fingers. Think he got a blow while getting behind the last delivery
Werries: "Nortje, your best bowler in the tournament, has only bowled 1 over so far with only 4 remaining. Before this match he has only conceded 30 runs in his 8 overs in this tournament. Surely he has to bowl."
