Scorer: Sanjay Murari | Commentator: Nikhil Kalro

11.24pm Convincing win for Gujarat Lions to enter the playoffs. Chased down 173 with enviable ease, primarily helped along by some terrible bowling from Mumbai Indians. Their fielding wasn't particularly great either. Mumbai cling on to some slim hope as we conclude the penultimate day of the group stages. But not much. They now slip to sixth. Suresh Raina and Brendon McCullum set it up for their side with a fantastic stand.

Suresh Raina is the Man of the Match: "Learnt a lot from Kanpur. Credit goes to our coaching staff. My team-mates played a beauty today. Understanding how to enjoy the T20 format was a challenge. We worked really hard as a unit. You need to enjoy the practice sessions."

Rohit Sharma: " It is disappointing to lose, I though we batted well at the start. We didn't finish well in the last two overs. Hats off to Suresh and Brendon McCullum. We tried our best, couldn't get the breakthrough in the middle. They took their chances and they connected. Wasn't our day."

McClenaghan to Jadeja, 1 run, that is it. Gujarat Lions have confirmed their playoffs spot with a quality chase. They finish top two as well. Fullish and wide outside off, skewed over the off-side infield for the winning runs

McClenaghan to Jadeja, FOUR, full and wide. Oh my, that is Guptill. Not sure if things can get worse. Driven to the sweeper cover where Guptill rushes onto it and lets it go through his legs. Yikes.
