David Miller, Player of the Match: Nice to hit few of the middle, in a five over game, you know you got no options, you just just have to go for it. (lights delay) A lot of things were going on; we obviously wanted to stay, so we had to wait it out and thankfully it came back on Like I said, you got no option, you got five overs to go, and you need 60, we got 11 batters and we got to try and use every single ball that we got. There was no option, just had to go from ball one and it worked out pretty well so pretty thankful about that. (on world cup memories), to be honest, the world cup wasn't on my mind, it's a quarter final, but it's always big stakes. We are just happy to do really well at the backend in five overs and it was just an extraordinary game. I have never been in a situation like that with the lights going off and not being able to play so just thankfully we got the result. (on BR campaign) playoff game is just once off game, now we move to semis, what's done is done. Obviously, we have done really good work in group stage and bad as well. Now it's about taking this momentum forward and hopefully get into semifinal and finals.

SONAM: "What a game of cricket DAVIDDDDDD YOU BEAUTYYYYYY"

Mahesh: "Ironically the unlucky SA players have snatched victory from the jaws of elimination. Surely fate is on their side. "

Hinds to Miller, SIX, Wow! What a clinical way to finish the contest! Miller, you beauty, shows his value and class in crunch moments. Again bowled full and offers room to breathe, Miller plays a brilliant stroke, picking it from outside off and launches it over extra cover for a majestic six. Lovely swing of the arms and the timing was impeccable. Barbados Royals will play the Qualifier 2 while Knight Riders will pack their bags - tough pill to swallow for Kieron-Pollard's men. Miller has managed to score a fifty in this five-over affair! He is a marvel of nature, an exceptional genius. His emotions reflect as if he has done nothing and he remains cool and composed as he greets his teammates while the fireworks go off as well!

Prabhav: "Miller is probably compensating a win after the suryakumar catch in the WC final.."

Hinds to Miller, SIX, Over the wicket, length ball angled across off, he is watching the ball like a football, in his hitting arc and goes out of the park! Way over midwicket, it's all over! Miller has won it singlehandedly

Jordan to Miller, 1 run, Around the wicket, looking for a yorker, fuller in length and tails in at fourth stump line, pings an off-drive to long-off and most importantly he will keep the strike, that is smart batting! now then, only 8 required off 6. Long faces in TNR's camp, body language looks deflated and they fear the worst!

Jordan to Miller, SIX, Oh my word! Miller at his best! Misses his target and gets hammered! Low full-toss on middle, smoked over wide long-on for a 91 meters maximum. Oh, he is such a joy to watch when on song, situation was tailor-made for him and he is making TKR pay! Absolutely thumped that one off the meat, crowd noisy! Pollard chatting with Jordan. I think Miller has killed the chase already! What an onslaught!

Jordan to Miller, FOUR, Back-to-back boundaries! Jordan releasing the pressure, letting his team down! Strays on the pads and pays the price, gets duly dispatched over midwicket for a four, Miller gets underneath it and uses his fast hands, and subtle wrists to club it for a four, one bounce over the rope. Crowd screaming at the top of their lungs, they waited patiently

Jordan to Miller, FOUR, Tries again and misses the blockhole and that's enough for Miller to munch that over extra cover for four, that has been dispatched insolently, fierce battle, imagine if it went for 20 overs...superb shot, lots of bottom hand and uses brute force in his wrists to manufacture it from there, no chance for fielder to cut it off. 19 off 9
