MI New York peaked at the right moment and secured their place in the top four. Conversely, Los Angeles Knight Riders have been eliminated from the tournament. Time to wrap up this coverage, folks! For now, this is Deepak Prakash signing off on behalf of co-commentators Saptak Sanyal, Ayan Chatterjee, and scorer/analyst Yogesh Kumar. CHEERS!
Kieron Pollard(MI New York Captain): "Obviously I'm very very relieved. I want to congratulate the entire team. They have done very well.
If you look at the way we batted throughout the tournament, we batted well but the results were not in favour. We looked to have a good game and we got it today. Nosthush Kenjige was good and it was a complete team effort.
You need some sort of confidence in life. When I got the wicket, I was very happy. I am relieved that the guys have got the result of their hard work."

Sunil Narine (Los Angeles Knight Riders Captain): "(Defining moment) I think the score. I think it's tough to defend 130 against this batting lineup. You have to really get early wickets, maybe three or four in the powerplay. That's the only way you can squeeze them. But in saying that, I think Pooran batted brilliantly. And Pollard came and finished the innings.
I think we gave it our all, the most we could. Actually, guys, we weren't down and out at all. I think we fought till the very end, and that's the most we could ask for as a team.
In this format, batting first is often a challenge. We were very close to qualifying, but it wasn't meant to be. We tried everything we could today, but it didn't work out, and that's just how cricket goes sometimes. To our fans: please keep supporting us.
We'll continue to fight. The team was brilliant, but it just didn't happen this year. I want to give credit to all the players for doing their best and putting us in good situations."

Rashid Khan(Most Valuable Player of the Match): "I think it was much needed for my team, I am pleased with the win. I tried to put the pressure on the opposition and I took the crucial wickets. It was all about bowling right line and lengths. If you bowl in right areas, you will get the results. I executed wrong'un, leg spin well.
I had the ball in my mind when I came to bowl(about Nitish Kumar's dismissal). Everything was perfect. It pitched in line and turned well. We are doing well in batting, bowling and fielding."

Time for the post-match presentation.
Nicholas Pooran(MI New York): "We have been in a similar situation in the last game and we knew how to do it. Winning the toss was crucial and our bowlers did a great job.
I tried to be responsible throughout my stay. LAKR bowlers were top-notch and I took on Sunil at one point. I tried to rotate strike against him and tried to keep him out of the play. Pollard is a great finisher and he stepped up at the right moment. In big games, big players come in the party. He stayed unbeaten and had taken the all important wicket of Russell in the first innings."

16.6 C Dry to R Khan
4 FOUR!!! MI New York have qualified in the play-offs and they will play against Texas Super Kings in the eliminator. Shorter in length at the middle stump. Rashid looks to play a pull through the on side but gets an inside edge through the left of the keeper for a boundary. With that, Los Angeles Knight Riders are eliminated from this year's MLC.
Three dot balls on the trot. Pollard goes to Rashid for a quick chat.
16.5 C Dry to R Khan
0 Slower and loopy overpitched delivery outside off. Rashid moved leg side for room and finds it out of his reach.
16.4 C Dry to R Khan
0 Yorker angling around the leg stump. Rashid again tries to jam his bat down but he misses this time.
16.3 C Dry to R Khan
0 Slower yorker at the middle stump. Rashid jams his bat down at the right moment to dig it out to the keeper's left.
The scores are level now.
