8:55 pm The Falcons will be quite happy with how their innings ended, with runs flowing in the death overs. The match got off to a blistering start with Amir taking a wicket on the second ball and then striking again on the fifth, dismissing the in-form Karima Gore. The Falcons managed to get things back on track, with Jewel Andrew leading the way, scoring 40 runs. However, after the strategic timeout, the visitors suffered a batting collapse, losing three wickets in quick succession. The momentum shifted when Usama Mir was given a second chance after being caught behind with no one appealing. He capitalised, hitting some mighty blows to accelerate the run rate. The Falcons made a brilliant comeback, thanks to Mir and their skipper Imad Wasim. Mir struck a vital 34 runs off 26 balls, and Wasim toiled with an injured wrist to remain unbeaten with 37 runs off 25 balls. Amir was the pick of the bowlers, taking three wickets, while Akeal Hosein and Andre Russell bagged two each.

9:02 pm Hello, and welcome back to the run chase. The pitch looks good, and the dew will settle as the evening progresses. Can the Falcons maintain their dominance over the Knight Riders? Or will the Knight Riders have a memorable homecoming? Let us find out shortly. Rakheem Cornwall leads the team huddle near the ropes. The Falcons will miss Imad's bowling and presence on the field; he strained his left quad muscle. Jayden Seales against Colin Munro, slip waiting.

Munro and Hales are at the crease.
