Yusuf Pathan is the Man of the Match for his 61 off 28 balls.
Symonds says "I probably bowled the worst over in the history of 20-20" after receiving the DLF Maximum Sixes award.
Warne: "This is a very good side, got a lot of skill. Really good spirit in the team. All credit to these guys, excellent side. We know what he(Yusuf) can do, we just want him to do it more often. Fantastic knock. I wasn't thinking at all(in the last over), just thinking of hitting them in the middle, tonight was our night."
Laxman: "We batted really well. They(Royals) played better than us. Not really disappointed. Full marks to Shane Warne, the way he batted. Once we get a win, we'll have a good run."
Stay tuned for the presentation...
We witnessed a great match yesterday but this has to be the best match of the tournament. Royals, who were touted as the weakest team of the tournament have become the first team to chase a 200 plus score successfully. Everyone contributed to the win-Smith and Yusuf with quickfire fifties, a blistering cameo from Kaif and Warne's finish was the icing on the cake.
