11.38 am Clinical, disciplined and at times merciless display from the Knight Riders spinners contains the Tallawahs to 107. Hosein led the way with three wickets. A lot of discussion will be had about the erroneous decision to give Andre Russell out against Narine, but the Tallawahs approach as a whole was negative. Nobody had a strike rate above 100. Phillips and Asif Ali both had a strike rate of 100, but that was facing a combined six balls. Much of the dot balls were just simply block block blocked out. Once the Tallawahs batting order went into their shell, it was hard to come back out of it. Knight Riders will be overwhelming favorites to maintain their undefeated record and advance to the final. Can Lamichhane and Mujeeb spin the Tallawahs to an unlikely upset? Stay with us for the chase as Sreshth Shah takes back over the central commentary position.

Ali Khan to Brathwaite, SIX, doesn't get this full enough, Brathwaite takes a step deeper in his crease to get under this and get the elevation to slam it flat over Khan and beyond the long-off rope for six.

DJ Bravo to Brathwaite, 1 run, slower ball lands full on sixth stump, Brathwaite out in front of this too early and skies it back behind Bravo. He shouts for his brother Darren to dive as Darren gives chase from extra cover on the ring but no dive comes and it lands three yards out of his reach for a single.

DJ Bravo to Brathwaite, no run, wide yorker on sixth stump, carved to cover point. Diving stop by Simmons. Brathwaite wants a single but for Permaul is perhaps expecting him to keep the strike as much as possible for the last 12 balls. The throw from Simmons is wild as Brathwaite tries to hustle back. Seifert tries to backhand flick it onto the stumps but misses. He was three yards out if the relay wasn't rushed.

Srinath: "Brathwaite and Powell are match winners by their own right.... they are very capable of taking on the bowlers and turning the game. This is just a negative mindset and poor cricket from the Tallawah's."

Pierre to Powell, OUT, similar ball too short on fourth stump, tries to repeat the flat strike over long-off again on the back foot but this time can't muscle it against his body rhythm and Pollard jogs in from the rope to take a simple catch almost on the edge of the 30-yard ring.

DJ Bravo to Brathwaite, no run, wide yorker, goes under Brathwaite's attempt to jam it out.

Craig: "I do not understand what you are saying about Russell being negative in his approach. He faced only five balls. It's also not true that he looked to play Narine out - he was charging down the pitch to Marine when he was given it. How is charging down the pitch looking to play anyone out and being negative?" As Ian Chappell always says, you don't come down the wicket to defend. Charging down the pitch is not aggressive if you then decide to block the ball. Defeats the purpose.
