8:42pm An innings of three very distinct phases. The powerplay was dominated by the Falcons, with Greaves and Zaman taking full toll of the field restrictions. The Knight Riders then applied the squeeze, courtesy of some help by the Falcons, who seemed to get their batting order all wrong, with their promotion of Primus, in particular, not paying dividends. Imad Wasim, though, did rectify things towards the end (to an extent). Allen also played his part with an 11-ball 25 and that has powered the Falcons to their highest score this season.
For the visitors, Narine bagged two, as did Salamkheil. The latter was perhaps the pick of the bunch, although Hinds did not fare badly, despite bowling two overs at the death. The Knight Riders, at this stage, will be content with the total they are chasing, although if they get there, they will have scripted a record chase. Join us in a bit for the second innings!
Justin Greaves: I think we had a lot of chat leading up to this game and wanted to express ourselves. We were struggling a bit in the middle overs, so we (me and Zaman) decided to put more pressure on the bowlers in the powerplay. The ball is coming on, as long as you put pace on it. (On the score) We got a score on the board and our bowlers need to go out there and execute their plans.
