Sunil Narine, Knight Riders Captain: We needed our batting to come up today, it happened, I don't think we did a fantastic job with ball. I think it's a good pitch and they obviously batted well. If we are not picking up wickets, we are allowing batting team to come into the game. Asalanka played a brilliant role, having left hander allows to bat deep and helps counteract spinners. At the end someone has to win, someone has to lose. We could have probably executed one or two balls, because it came too close.

Sikandar Raza, Dubai Capitals Captain: I have got a scan (of my hand), landed on the carpet and didn't slide so the hand was quite sore and swelled very fast. I was happy about that our heads didn't go down; we did a lot of things wrong in the field but in last fiver overs bowlers came back and that's where momentum shifted, and we took that momentum into batting.

Gulbadin Naib, Player of the Match: Me and Shai were just looking to rotate strike at one stage and after 14th over, we shifted the momentum. T20 should be entertaining for crowd. If you look at opposition and if they look worried, it means you're doing well. I'm available to bat at any position. As an athlete, you must prepare for any situation and not give excuse to your captain, and this is something I have always carried in my career.

What an entertaining game, just like the one last night, going down to the wire and keeping us on the edge of our seats. An impressive win by Dubai Capitals. They were better and more disciplined with the ball, controlling the extras, while Knight Riders weren't as consistent, bowling too many full tosses, missing their targets and cracking under pressure in key moments. Shai Hope anchored the chase magnificently and Gulbadin Naib found his groove after a couple of overs, never looking back. He hit plenty of muscular strokes down the ground, including some big ones. Knight Riders posted a respectable total but the difference in bowling was clear between the two teams. As a result of this fantastic run-chase, Dubai Capitals climb to second place with eight points while Knight Riders remain on six
