8pm Well, that's quite the squelching for JSK. Sunrisers march into the play-offs with a nine-wicket win. They are now second on the table, a long way adrift of Durban in top spot, but that's the sort of victory that suggests they are peaking at the right time. Thanks for your company. See you next time!

Abhi: "The soft dismissals should hurt Superkings, the ball's swinging but holding wickets going into the 11th over is not rocket science"
