Shane Watson starred with bat and ball to carry the Rajasthan Royals to a three-wicket win over Delhi Devils in the Indian Premier League on Sunday night.
Watson took 2-21 from his four overs as Delhi made 7-156.
He then struck 74 runs off 40 balls as the Shane Warne-led Royals reached the target with five balls to spare.
Glenn McGrath was very economical bowling for Delhi, conceding just 12 runs from his four overs.
Warne was pleased with his side's seventh win from nine matches, enough to qualify for the semi-finals.
"We bowled 19 pretty good overs but my over was a shocker," said Warne who was belted for a total of 47 runs for no wicket.
"Watson's played one of the best innings of the IPL, coming out the way he did.
"Proud of the way the guys fought. We've got four days in Goa, we'll sit on the beach, play some tennis."
Watson was the easy choice for Man of the Match.
"We were behind the 8 ball when I walked in," he said
"I couldn't stick around for too long getting my eye in. It's kind to hear when people call you the best player in terms of value for money.
"It's a nice feeling for me, coming back after my injuries."
