Scorer: Ranjith P | Commentator: Rvel Zahid

Thank you for your company tonight. We hope you'll join us again tomorrow for the match between table-toppers MI Emirates and Gulf Giants. For now, it's goodbye from me, Rvel Zahid, and the rest of the team at ESPNcricinfo

Sharjah Warriors coasted home by seven wickets and had a wonderful outing, but they might have left it too late in the tournament. Even though this win will give a lift to their net run rate, they'll be relying on other results to make it to the final four. Adil Rashid looks like the strongest candidate for the Player of the Match award; he picked 4/12 in his spell and brought the Knight Riders' innings to a grinding halt. Chasing the below-par target, Niroshan Dickwella and Liam Livingstone put any thoughts of a hiccup to bed by going hard in the powerplay, breaking the back of the chase

It hasn't spun like that in the entire tournament. We gave a good fight and didn't let them get away. We couldn't adjust fast, says Knight Riders captain Sunil Narine

Nice to bounce back, nice to win the toss and be able to react to how much it was spinning. We have got so many spin options, we even have five seamers so it was nice to get it right with the ball. We were just making sure we win, -2 was quite far away anyway (net run rate), says Sharjah Warriors captain Tom Kohler-Cadmore

Adil Rashid, Player of the Match: Felt pretty nice, seamers set up nicely which allowed me and rest of the spinners to come on our own. Fortunately for me and the team it worked well.
