That's all she wrote for tonight. This is Rvel Zahid signing off on behalf of our team at ESPNcricinfo. Take care and goodnight!
Phew! T20 cricket at its best; ebbing and flowing and keeping our interest right till the end. Couldn't just put a finger on any team in this low-scoring humdinger at the business end of this riveting tournament. Rew's 42 made the difference in the end and the Warriorz managed to eke out a win. A bit more discipline from ADKR towards the end could have changed the complexion of the game but those unforced errors proved too costly in the final moments.
Jason Holder, Knight Riders Captain: It wasn't enough runs...credit to the bowlers though, they did a hell of a job to stretch that game. We needed a few things to go in our favor, keeping wickets in the powerplay would have been key. Narine's spell was crucial -- if he squeezed in a few more (wickets), that could have swung the momentum in our favor. Needed a few things to go our way. We've got to do better, we obviously let ourselves down in this campaign. Sure, we will have a few discussions on how to do better.
Sikandar Raza, Sharjah Warriors Captain: In the end they got a lot more runs, credit to how they made a game out of it. In the end, too close for comfort, but we'll take it. Adil has been that workhorse for us; he has bowled at (all stages of the game). That last over from Adil was far too crucial -- credit to Adil. When Adil came on to bat, I was sure he would score the winning runs (given how he set up the game with his bowling earlier). Adil was everywhere today, it was nice for him to finish the game.
Adil Rashid, Player of the Match: It was quite nice to go for few runs. Bowling the 18th and 20th, it can easily go the other way, but it went my way. I have played against Jason (and Russell) for a long time -- sometimes that helps a lot. They are world-beaters but thankfully it worked in my way. Ideally, we didn't want it to go that deep, but I think Rew played an exceptional knock. We've got two big games, the next one is a big one. We have to be adaptable, and if we bring our A-game, we will win it.
Hits a fuller-length, almost a Yorker, opens the face and nurdles it out to deep point. Oh, no! He oversteps and that could be it. A cardinal sin at this stage of the game
