A cricket podcast from Cricket World as John Pennington and Chetan Narula look back on recent matches in the Indian Premier League 2012 - IPL 5 - IPL 2012 and ahead to the final week of action.
They reflect on the final group games, which confirmed Delhi Daredevils, Kolkata Knight Riders, Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings as the four teams who will battle it out for overall glory.
Mumbai Indians warmed up for the Indian Premier League 2012 play-offs in style, inflicting a 10-wicket defeat on Rajasthan Royals in the last league match of the season at Jaipur.
Mumbai had already finished third and Rajasthan are now confirmed seventh in the points table.
Royal Challengers Bangalore shot their own chances of making the Indian Premier League 2012 play-offs, going down to Deccan Chargers by nine runs at Hyderabad.
The visitors had needed to win this game to displace Chennai Super Kings from the fourth spot and instead made a dismal exit.
Kolkata Knight Riders confirmed their second spot in the Indian Premier League 2012 table, beating Pune Warriors by 34 runs.
Pune ended a difficult season with a disappointing performance in front of their home crowd, never really getting on terms.
In their last league game of the Indian Premier League 2012, Delhi Daredevils beat Kings XI Punjab by six wickets at Dharmasala.
This result was an important one in determining the line-up for the play-offs. Delhi have topped the table with 22 points, while Mumbai have qualified as the third team. Kings XI have been knocked out of the running as the fourth spot is now dependent on Royal Challengers Bangalore match against Deccan Chargers tomorrow.
Royal Challengers Bangalore acting captain Virat Kohli and Rajasthan Royals batsman Owais Shah have been disciplined for different Indian Premier League 2012 offences.
Kohli has been fined after his side were guilty of maintaining a slow over-rate during their 21-run victory over Delhi Daredevils while Shah has been reprimanded for abuse of ground equipment.
Deccan Chargers ended Rajasthan Royals' hopes of reaching the Indian Premier League 2012 play-offs with a five-wicket win in Hyderabad.
It was just their second victory in four seasons at their principal home ground and Rajasthan could not have picked a worse time to turn in their worst batting performance of the season.
A Gayle-storm hit Delhi as Royal Challengers Bangalore beat the Delhi Daredevils by 21 runs in game 67 of the Indian Premier League 2012.
Chris Gayle's belligerent hundred paved the way for an important win ahead of the play-offs, especially on a day when Chennai Super Kings lost to Kings XI Punjab in the earlier game.
Adam Gilchrist guided the Kings XI Punjab to a massively important six-wicket win over the Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League 2012 in Dharmasala.
The victory keeps their slim chances of making the play-offs alive while it puts Chennai in a precarious position having completed their group fixtures.
Kolkata Knight Riders qualified for the Indian Premier League 2012 play-offs with an impressive 32-run win over the in-form Mumbai Indians.
They arrested a run of two straight defeats with an outstanding defence of their score of 140 for seven, Sunil Narine taking four wickets as Mumbai were dismissed for 108 in reply.
Delhi Daredevils booked their place in the Indian Premier League 2012 play-offs with a five-wicket win over Kings XI Punjab at the Feroz Shah Kotla.
Mahela Jayawardene stroked a composed unbeaten half-century as the Daredevils recovered from a score of 37 for four to reach a target of 137 with one over in hand.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has suspended five players pending an enquiry into spot-fixing in domestic cricket.
The BCCI has acted quickly to suspend TP Sudhindra, Amit Yadav, Shalabh Srivastav, Abhinav Bali and Mohnish Mishra from all cricket under its jurisidiction pending a full enquiry.
Ambati Rayudu and Harshall Patel have been fined 100 and 25 percent of their match fees respectively after their part in ugly scenes at the end of the Indian Premier League clash between Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bangalore.

Dwayne Bravo hit the last ball for six to win game 63 of the Indian Premier League for Chennai Super Kings over Kolkata Knight Riders in thrilling fashion at Eden Gardens.
With five needed to win, and four to tie, Bravo smacked a Rajat Bhatia full toss over long on to put themselves into fourth place in the table with one game remaining.
Ambati Rayudu and Kieron Pollard scored 122 runs together to help Mumbai Indians jump to second in the Indian Premier League 2012 table with a five-wicket win over Royal Challengers Bangalore.
Rayudu thumped 81 in 54 balls and Pollard 52 in 31 deliveries as the visitors recovered from being reduced to 44 for four and 51 for five to chase down a target of 172 with two balls to spare.
Kings XI Punjab stayed in contention for an Indian Premier League 2012 play-off berth with a four wicket win over Deccan Chargers at Mohali as the final game of the weekend went down to the last ball.
They now have 14 points and are placed in seventh spot, but have a game in hand over both Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals.
