Ayush Doseja (West Delhi Lions captain and Player of the Match): "(On the talks in the camp after the last three overs of the first innings) We felt that our bowlers didn't execute the plans well enough, but in spite of that we remained confident. We had to play positive cricket to improve our run rate to qualify. Plan was to chase anything around 190 by the 15-16th over, but we slowed down in between. We still managed to chase it down comfortably.
(How important was this innings) Very important for me going into the Duleep Trophy. Runs are runs. Preparations and process was good as well, runs coming off the bat now makes me happy.
(On belief of qualifying) Confidence is high in the camp, because we have to play with a nothing to lose attitute. We have to win the last match by a big margin as well. I won't be there, but I wish my team all the best and hope they do well enough and qualify.
(On whom he'd like to take on the sponsored trip) Of course, I'd like to take my family to the trip.
(On confidence about these runs coming handy playing in the Duleep Trophy) 100 percent, runs are runs, have been preparing accordingly and from the start of the year. Scoring runs here will give me confidence going into the Duleep Trophy and I'll be able to perform well for North Zone."

11:49 PM IST and Local Time: We now approach the end of our coverage of the Delhi Premier League for the day. The West Delhi Lions stay in the hunt for the playoffs, but they'll need to pull off something better than what they did today in their final league game, against table-toppers Central Delhi Kings at that, to make it to the top four. The North Delhi Tigers, who have had a season to forget, will look to play for pride in their final game of the season against South Delhi Superstarz.
DPL action will resume on Friday with the Outer Delhi Warriors taking on the East Delhi Riders. Join us right here on Crickxo at 6:00 PM IST for our coverage of that, and in the meantime, keep following us for a whole lot more cricketing action - there's never too much cricket going on!
On that note, this is Rajarshi Das, signing off on behalf of my co-commentator, Ninaad Dixit, and scorer/analyst, Sachin Yadav. Good night!
