Milne struck twice early and swept through the Knight Riders' top order, removing both openers in the same over. Joe Clarke, who scored 32 runs off 27 balls, began to repair the damage. Later on, Sharafu and Evans' steady knocks kept the Knight Riders going. Dre Russ delivered another spectacular cameo in the death overs. Harmeet and Rashid, the spinners, bowled brilliantly. Milne and Rashid each took two wickets. After a brief break, we'll return for the second inning.

Adil Rashid: "For myself, keep sticking to my strengths, really trying to figure out the pitch and adjust from there and stick to how I bowl. (Pace off) It depends on how you ball. Some spinners tend to bowl a bit quicker, and that's how they generate. the pace of the pitch, some bowlers try to vary the pace. So it all depends on the individual. (Pitch) It's a good one. Yeah, it looks alright, though, obviously up front, it was swinging a bit, but I think generally if you play good Cricket shots, you get value for money. (Atmosphere in the team) The mood's been very good so far. We got here a week ago, as a team. I think we're gelling really well, and that shows as well even in the first game, you know, how we played well as a team. Hopefully, now, we can cut it down. We've got our task at hand, now, as well as chasing 160 to win. So it's gonna be tough. But I'm sure, if you play well we will go over that. (Senior figure) Yeah massively. Like I said not just myself but all the experience we've got in the squad. It's definitely I would do in that sense to actually, give that information to youngsters even to the seniors and everybody working together and trying to play your part in that way."

Sharjah Warriorz need 160 runs to win the match
