And as team Karnataka lift the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, it's time for us to say goodbye. Hope you enjoyed ESPNcricinfo's coverage of the final. See you soon for more cricket!
10.40pm Time for the presentation.
Dinesh Karthik: "Disappointed, but proud of the boys. The boys showed what they were capable of in the tournament. At the start of the year, if you told me we'd be in two white-ball finals, I'd have taken it. We need to take this confidence into the Ranji Trophy."
Manish Pandey: "We had won it last year, but victory was sweeter this time. The way the boys played whole tournament was unbelievable. I can't thank anyone individually, everyone put in so much effort. I thought I was the best man to take responsibility so that's how I batted. Luckily, that happened. Looking forward to the India series, but tomorrow a big series to come... I'm getting married tomorrow (laughs). Thank you Surat, you've been amazing all the games9"
10.30pm So Karnataka successfully defend their domestic 20-over title. Their support staff run into the ground to celebrate with them. R Ashwin looked pretty devastated and now the TN players shake hands with their opponents. This was a classic final, one that deserved the full-house crowd that made their way to the Lalbhai Contractor Stadium. Karnataka are now holders of the 50-over title as well as the 20-over title.
Anjan: "There's not much difference between the sides in terms of runs scored or the strike rate of the batsmen. But TN conceded 9 runs in wides, and KN gave away just 1!"
Sowmya : "A wide was given off Washington Sundar's bowling which brushed Manish Pandey's pads. DK was very upset with the umpire KN Anantapadmanabhan. T20 is a format where everything counts, isn't it?? "
TN need three off one ball. Karnataka can't concede more than one. If two runs are scored, then we have a Super Over. OMG! R Ashwin, meanwhile, has removed his pads.

Otaj: "I've already seen Yasir in the nervous nineties today. Don't know how much more excitement my heart can take!"
TN need 19 off nine
Can we see a Super Over folks? Can you heart take it? Here's Koushik. That means K Gowtham is likely to bowl the final over. Massive risk
