That's it from us here. Hop tabs to follow Chennai vs Delhi. Bye bye!
Gilchrist: 'I'm not sure if this can be called 'form', but thanks anyways. Credit to Azhar Mahmood. He came in and got the boundaries and I connected a few as well. He played his natural game and I was trying to attack, but I could barely clear the 30-yard circle! After the first 4 overs, I thought I made an error in judgment in the bowling. It was a bit slow and it got a bit better as the game progressed. I'm not sure what a good total on that wicket was. The attitude today was very good. There's a lot more external pressure than people probably know. We head to Dharamsala now and we always enjoy playing there.'
Gilchrist is the Man of the Match
Kohli: '175 was a pretty good total. In the first 5-6 overs, the pitch was a bit different and it was keeping low and slow. We were waiting for a few big overs and knew that around 160 was par score. It settled down beautifully in the second half and we didn't expect that. I thought it would remain slow throughout the game. We didn't hit the right areas and our bowling line up has to look into that. It's not a good position to be in, with a must-win game at hand. But we have to deal with it. We have to let the guys be themselves and not put pressure on them. They are professionals and know what to do.'
A superb chase by Punjab. They did it easily this time, without any help from Miller. Instead, it was the captain Gilchrist who rose up to the occasion, turning back the clock and playing a blazing knock of 85. He was superbly supported by Azhar Mahmood who was promoted up in the order to number 3.
What does this result mean for the points table? Kolkata and Punjab are still alive. Bangalore have made it tough for themselves as they have only one game left and that's against Chennai on Saturday. This also means that Chennai, Mumbai and Rajasthan are through to the last 4.
18.1Moises Henriques to Rajagopal Sathish. FOUR, stand. Smash. Admire. Win. Celebrate. Back of length delivery, Sathish whacks it on the up wide mid on. This is the first home loss for Bangalore this season. The Punjab camp celebrates. A terrific effort from them to breach this fortress.
Moises Henriques [2.0-0-25-0] is back into the attack

Tweet from @captainshanky: The game was a tale of two shockers. One while Gayle was batting and another while Gilly was batting. Plumb LBWs that made the difference.

3 wickets down for MOH. Out batsman is David Miller 16.5Muttiah Muralitharan to David Miller. out Bowled!! Too late? A very good delivery though - a doosra that pitches on off and turns in, Miller plays all around it and the ball goes through to hit the middle stump. No Miller magic this time against Bangalore. David Miller b Muralitharan 2(4)
16.4Muttiah Muralitharan to Adam Gilchrist. 1 run, flat and a bit short, Gilchrist looks to pull and gets an inside edge to short fine leg
