Hassan Khan: "I think we could have done a little better at the end, but that's part of cricket. Hopefully, it's a good score, and we can chase it well and finish the game easily. Everyone chipped in. Moeen bhai is a world-class bowler, as we all know, and he was very handy with his one for 11. I am very happy to see him bowl like that. The target is 168 here in front of the home fans in our first home game. We'll do our best, and hopefully, we'll chase it down easily."


8:42 pm After a slow and cautious start, Munro broke the shackles by hitting three boundaries in the second over against Pretorius. But during the counterattack, he was deceived by a slower delivery and dismissed. The Warriors had a successful Powerplay, dismissing Hales and Pooran, with Moeen Ali getting the better of Pooran with a lovely stock off-spin delivery. The spinners dominated in the middle overs, restricting the runs and boundaries as Carty and Bravo tried to rebuild the innings, striking well below a hundred strike rate each. After a slow partnership of 56 runs off 61 balls, Bravo departed. Carty was dropped by Sampson and then retired out in the 18th over after a snail-like innings of 29 runs off 34 balls. Pollard once again became the savior of the Knight Riders, striking a wonderful innings with some gigantic sixes. He hit 19 runs off Tahir's last over, and 21 runs off Shepherd's last over, going on to score a blistering 54 runs off just 18 balls, which was also the fastest fifty of the season, off 17 deliveries. Moeen Ali was brilliant with the ball, conceding only 11 runs in four overs and picking up one crucial wicket.

Narps ..pick the winner !!

We will have a delayed start; some issues with the LED lights behind the bowler's run-up at the sight screen area. Where is Googley?

8:48 pm Hello and welcome back to the run chase. Can the home team, the Warriors, begin their home leg with a victory? Or the Knight Riders will spoil their party? Moeen Ali and Keemo Paul to open the innings for the home team. McDermott suffered an injury during fielding and did not return. Akeal Hosein with the new ball in hand. Slip fielder in place.

Hosein to Paul, OUT
quicker length ball on the off stump channel, shuffles across and plays the reverse sweep, does not connect and hits the front pad. Massive appeal but the umpire is not interested. After a quick discussion between Pollard, Pooran and Akeal; they opt to send it upstairs. The ball nips back in, though.
