So that is it from this game. We have our third team to reach the playoffs and it is Kolkata who have sealed their place. However, there is still one spot left for it and it is something we will find out tomorrow, the last day of the league stage. Again we have two games lined up. Delhi will be playing Mumbai first at the former's den at 1600 local (1030 GMT). Followed by Chennai taking on Punjab in Pune at 2000 local (1430 GMT). Till then, take care and goodbye.
Man of the Match, Chris Lynn, says they are building momentum nicely. Mentions the wickets back home suits his game but he is trying to adjust to the wickets here and looking to build partnerships with his teammates. Admits he likes batting with Narine and it is fun to watch him from the other end. Further adds they don't want to change the way they are playing and would like to continue the same at the business end.
Kolkata skipper, Dinesh Karthik, says he is happy to reach the playoffs as every team in the league was striving for that. Reckons they are playing some good cricket and he feels they are peaking at the right time.
Hyderabad skipper, Kane Williamson, says a few more runs would have been handy as the wicket played well. Reckons something around 200 would have been good but credits the way Kolkata batted. Mentions what has happened now does not matter and they now have to look ahead to the playoffs. Appreciates the way Kolkata bowled towards the end but they could have had more on the board. Ends by saying they want to be positive going into the next game.
Earlier, the Kolkata bowlers were put under immense pressure by the striking force of Hyderabad. Shikhar Dhawan, Shreevats Goswami and Kane Williamson were in great touch but failed to play long innings. The visitors made a resounding comeback in the death overs and didn't allow Hyderabad a desirable finish. 31/7 came in the last 5 overs and that hurt the hosts the most. Their bowling has been losing steam of late and once again they didn't look their best. After faring so well in this season, Hyderabad would not want to slip at the business end of the tournament.
A convincing win for Kolkata and they have booked their place in the playoffs! They planned their chase superbly against one of the best bowling attacks this season. Sunil Narine gave them a quickfire start while Chris Lynn played yet another responsible knock. He built a 67-run stand with Uthappa which very much took the game in Kolkata's favour. Later on, Dinesh Karthik once again finished things with aplomb. A good win for them while a third loss in a row for Hyderabad, something they need to worry about. Like winning, losing is also a habit and they would like to get rid of it as soon as possible.

Siddarth Kaul To Andre Russell OUT!
OUT! Manish Pandey takes it this time! The full ball does the trick. It is on the slower side. Russell once again tries to go big but only hits it high up in the air towards long on. Pandey comes running in and takes it easily. Kaul is pumped as he brings out Brett Lee's chainsaw celebration. Andre's struggle comes to an end. 13 more needed from 14.

Siddarth Kaul To Andre Russell
DROPPED AND FOUR! But a tremendous effort by Sandeep Sharma. The short ball almost gets Russell. Kaul bangs it in on middle, Russell once again goes for the pull but gets a top edge towards fine leg. Sandeep makes good ground to his right, dives, tries to catch it with two hands but can't hang on. To add salt to the wound, the ball also goes over the boundary line.
