Sheldon Cottrell speaks to the broadcaster: "All bowlers did well. Hasaranga just came in for his first game... The team has gelled. I think the balls in this tournament swings more. I love taking wickets because I love saluting!"
7.37pm An innings which never really took off. King moulded the innings together with 57; the next best from his side was Asalanka's 26. Each time ADKR's batters tried to attack, they found a fielder. Hasaranga got 3 for 18 in a tight spell - he was on a hat-trick too - and ensured Vipers need only 134 to chase. Sarthak will be with you for the chase.

Atkinson to Matiullah Khan, OUT, short and some pace on middle, and it takes off as he misses his pull. They try to sneak a bye, and try for it even if it seemed impossible. Matiuallah fails to make his ground at the bowler's end, and is run out as the keeper throws back to the bowler, who whips the bails off

Atkinson to King, OUT, bowled him! Finally the resistance from King ends. And he is frustrated. On a length on middle and leg, and keeps low. He was already into his hoick across the line, and missed; it looked like change of pace too. But King missed, and the ball hit leg stump. An innings which held his side together ends in the final over
