8:40pm Lowest total for Falcons in the competition and the lowest in CPL 2024 so far. They began breezily in the powerplay with Greaves and Fakhar leading the charge. But they could never find another gear after that and probably have finished with a below-par score. Imad tried to muscle a few but he was unhappy at a few that did not come on to the bat. Kings' spinners had their say on the proceedings with Noor leading the charge with three wickets

Khary Pierre: "Happy to come out and play anytime, pleased with my performance tonight. [On the catch to dismiss Greaves] I was watching the ball and had to judge it. A matter of two partnerships and we should be good."

I think Kings should chase this down with some ease. What do you think? Let Abhimanyu know as he slides in for the first bit of the chase shortly
