10:19pm That will be all from us for tonight. We hope you enjoyed our coverage and we will be back with more T20 action tomorrow. Until then, this is goodbye and goodnight from all of us!

Adam Zampa, Player of the Match: (On picking the most important wickets) Was trying to do my role - to get the most important wickets to make it easier for the guys at the back end. I am natural competitor, love getting into the contest and bowling to the best players. He (Russell) has got me a few times, I got him a few times. Happy I got him (tonight). I was actually under the pump after my first 11 balls. Good defensive bowling then to get out of my over. Spoke about the match-up to Dre Russ. Obviously, a big wicket. He hits it out of the park but luckily, he didn't that time.

Tim Southee, Sharjah Warriorz captain: (On the bowling) The back-end was very good. They got off to a good start, Mayers played well. We kept taking wickets, which is the best way to slow things down. (On the chase) The way the guys have been playing the last couple of games, it was more of the same. For the majority of the chase, we were in control. Better (placed) than when we were at the start of the tournament. Nice to be creeping up the table at the right time of the tournament. Our last three games have been some of our better performances.

Sunil Narine, Abu Dhabi Knight Riders captain: We were in the fight till the end, we could have finished off the (batting) innings better, we were on course for 200. You needed to control the powerplay. They batted (well), played aggressive shots. We got back into the game but it was too late. Everyone is doing a good job. It is just the key moments
we are not coming out on top. We have made it a little difficult, having to win the last two but we still are in the tournament and have plenty to play for. (On bowling himself in the powerplay) It all depends on what is going on in the game. If we control the game in the powerplay, I don't have to. But if the team needs it, I will have to.

10:05pm This game should have been done a long time ago. But the Warriorz, somehow, found a way to drag it into the last over. Several batters came, tried their big shots in vain and then perished, which allowed the Knight Riders a route back. It also ensured that the Warriorz could not push their NRR further.

Which is what they seemed destined for, especially when Charles and Kohler-Cadmore tore the Knight Riders apart in the powerplay. Charles did not relent in the middle overs either and finished with a 35-ball 65 - a knock that, in the end, proved to be the difference between the two sides and gave Sharjah the cushion to get past the finish line, despite a dramatic slow-down towards the end.

Ibrar Ahmad to Harmeet Singh, (no ball) 1 run, goes straight up and it dribbles into space in the fine leg region. That will be that! Shortish on leg stump. Harmeet swipes across the line and gets a fat top edge. The ball swirls over the keeper's head and then dribbles away towards the fence. Not sure if it stopped before reaching it or if Clarke was able to pull it back. And to add further drama, the umpire calls it a No ball. All happening here in Sharjah but the key detail is that the Sharjah Warriorz have won and they move up to third in the points table!

Two needed off the last over. Surely the Warriorz will not botch it from here? Ibrar to bowl the last over. He gave away 24 in his first over earlier in the evening. Around the wicket

Hinds to Agar, no run, full and wide outside off. Agar swishes at it but does so in vain. Three dots to end the over and we will go into the 40th over of this game to find out who wins!

0
Hinds to Agar, no run, dug into the track on leg stump. Agar ducks under it and immediately looks at the square leg umpire. Called one bouncer for the over, but not a wide
18.4
0
Hinds to Agar, no run, into the blockhole just outside off. Agar cannot jam his bat down in time and the ball sneaks past his blade

2
Hinds to Agar, 2 runs, slower ball on a full length outside off. Agar gets his hands through the ball and drives it past extra cover. Mayers cuts it off and there is a bit of confusion between the batters. Harmeet wanted the thrid but Agar sent him back, just in the nick of time

Hinds to Agar, SIX, Agar goes big, and that eases an enormous amount of pressure! Right in the slot on leg stump. Agar clears his front leg and smokes it over deep mid wicket. Big shot. Under big pressure!
