That ends our presentation for tonight. Thanks for joining us

Shreyas Iyer, also the Man of the Match: "It is rally difficult to defend here. Such an amazing total but still. It is always a thrill to come and play here. Winning the match is an icing on the cake. I thought today was the right time to take the bowlers on on a smaller ground. I took it one six at a time. I won't say I am a gifted player because I know the hard work and smart work I out into it. We keep talking about the close victories. This was one of them, and it is always satisfying. That after losing Mishra when he was bowling so well. We were confident we had two good overs left but you never know on this wicket at Sharjah. We have got a good platform, but we have to be insatiable from here on."

Dinesh Karthik: "The way the boys batted is something I am proud of. We kept fighting, which is the nature of this team. To be honest, a couple more sixes, and we would have crossed the line. So not much to fault the bowlers for. Perhaps 10 runs too many, but two more hits and we might have been through. We want to give Russell more time to make an impact on the game. We will discuss Narine's role with the coaches, but I have got full confidence in Narine."

DC at the top of the table after a smooth win against KKR. They batted to a plan before unleashing mayhem in the last five overs. Their two big fast bowlers gave them the start they needed. Russell batted in the middle, but failed. And then when Morgan and Tripathi made it interesting, Nortje came back to seal the deal

Stoinis to Shivam Mavi, 1 leg bye, low full toss into the pad, they get a leg-bye. That is the win for DC

Stoinis to Shivam Mavi, no run, another yorker, beats him, but also missed the leg stump

DC two balls from reaching the top of the table

Stoinis to Nagarkoti, 1 run, another slower yorker, taken on the full for a dive to wide long-on

Chandra: "Nortje's bowling is the difference between the teams. It has to be him as the man of the match if Stoinis holds his nerve."

Stoinis to Tripathi, OUT, that's the game then. Dipping slower yorker at 126ks, and it squeezes under Tripathi's swing to dislodge the off stump

Stoinis to Tripathi, FOUR, wide low full toss, Tripathi is on a knee and drives with an open face over point. Missing quite a few yorkers, and it is understandable with the dew around

Niortje has more than done his job. Not only has he given the next bowler more than 20 to defend, he has got the wicket of Morgan too. Here is Stoinis
