That's it for tonight's coverage. Join us again tomorrow for more ILT20 action. For now, it's goodbye and goodnight from all of us

Nicholas Pooran, MI Emirates Captain: Tough one today. Not enough discipline with the bat and bowl. (on run-out claim) called him (Curran) back in the spirit of game. We haven't respected the game enough, the opposition and our plans. If we keep making same mistakes, it will cost us. Hopefully, we'll try to reflect and we need to pick ourselves up. It's definitely frustrating but we need to keep our emotions in check

James Vince, Gulf Giants Captain: Stumbled at the end but got the points. Couple of games we were in position to win games, we haven't dominated. Last season we win those moments...tonight was massively important to get back to winning ways. Still in the hunt for winning. Seamers upfront restricted and got key wickets, Banton and Pollard batted really well. Certainty wasn't impossible to chase that down

Mark Adair, Player of the Match: It was just basics again. Delighted to get across the line. Tom Curran came in and shared his experience. Delighted to catch (Pollard). It swirls a bit, there is always wind here, thankfully caught that

Almost botched up a straightforward chase after a superb bowling effort. Incredible drama towards the end of this game with a run-out claim from Pooran, who then changed his mind in the spirit of cricket and Curran came back. Erasmus, Alsop made handy contributions and later cameos from Curran and Adair kept them in the hunt. Aayan played a vital knock and his timely blows gave Giants the much-needed win. Rohid was exceptional with the ball and Joseph did a good job but Mousley was the most expensive bowler and the gamble to have him bowl the final over backfired big time. Gulf Giants move to the fifth spot after this win while MI Emirates remain in second place with a positive NRR of 0.15

Mousley to Zuhaib Zubair, 1 run, Says what's all the fuss about and finishes the game in style, gets down low and cracks the slog sweep across the line and beats the packed field at leg for a four, it has got enough legs to reach the rope at deep midwicket. Zubair is absolutely pumped up, he has kept his cool and got his side over the line

Mousley to Curran, OUT, Disturbs the furniture! Curran backed away and he slung it full on off and it tickles the stumps, zingers are alight. He's not going to go down without a spirited fight; a good comeback after being dispatched for a six
