ADKR's NRR gets a good bump, Capitals now in a bit of trouble with some of their overseas on their way out. Thanks for tuning in on an action-packed double-header Saturday. Hope you had fun and that you join again for a double-header Sunday tomorrow. Goodnight!

David Willey, POTM: It's been a while since I bowled four in a row. There was a little with the new ball. Had a couple of good match ups. Chatted what lengths to bowl, did that and got the reward. When you're batting at the other end with Dre, it's a good spot. Nature of tournament cricket is peaking at the right time. Hopefully, we can start to gel and go up.

Sunil Narine, ADKR skipper: The way we started with the bat could've been better. Thanks to Russell to get us to 180. If that wasn't there, we might've ended with 150-160. Our guys have been batting well. We just need to send a message to go big. Willey started brilliantly. When you start well with the wickets it's easier to build on it. We'll take the win but need to buckle up with the fielding. Never know what can happen if that happens. Generally need to take those important ones. When you win and see guys doing well it's good as a captain. New guys standing up, hope that continues.

David Warner, DC skipper: Wickets in the power play, with bat and ball, cost us. There's moments in the game when Dre came out. They were 7 for 119 and put on 60 which cost us. We lost wickets pretty much every over while batting. Stats say if we gets wickets with the powerplay was good but we gave away too many runs. Happy with my innings. Not too fussed but partnerships would've been nicer. Guys have been training hard, three big games to come. They'll have a nice rest and be back.

10:09pm ADKR break the streak. They weren't winning batting first - this is their first in nine attempts. They were dominant in the chase. Capitals' batters found ways to get out. Lots of soft dismissals, middled shots found fielders at a surprising regularity. Willey swung the ball and was tough to hit early on. Imad Wasim was a recipient of those lucky strikes including that of Warner that shut out the game. By the time Narine came on, game was all but done. He struck and went off after being hit in the field by a ball. Jason Holder put up a mini fightback but it wasn't enough, as weren't Kuggeleijn's power and Roelof's resilience.

Ali Khan to Kuggeleijn, SIX, Overpitched and at the stumps, Kuggeleijn has another wind-up swing, this time through the line and it sails over long-on. Russell is disappointed but his team finishes with a comfy win.
