What an engrossing contest! The intensity remained high throughout. Mohammad Rizwan's innings allowed the Patriots to put up a decent total and the bowlers then took up the mantle. Holder leaked far too many in the penultimate over but Naseem held his nerve in the crucial final over; nailing his yorkers and slow-ball bumpers. Patriots are still alive in this tournament and won it in a make-or-break situation tonight. McDermott got 21 and Moeen also chipped in but couldn't get going for long. Hope added 31, but no one batted for a long enough period to take the game away. Sampson almost snatched it from the jaws of defeat but the final over made the difference. Salamkheil was excellent as usual in the middle overs, stemming the run flow and conceding just 28 in his spell. Warriors remain in fourth, Patriots move up to fifth and the Royals continue to languish down the barrel

Mohammad Rizwan, Player of the Match: When I finished my innings and went back to the pavilion, Rossouw asked me if it was a par score. I said no, it wasn't, mainly because of the dew. But credit to the bowlers, they did a fantastic job. You can't always go by modern cricket standards here because the pitches are difficult. We lost wickets early, so I took my time and built the innings. Thankfully, we bowled really well to defend the total. I always prefer opening but that's up to the skipper and the coach. When you play in overseas leagues, it's difficult to form the right combination. So I'm available for whatever the captain needs from me

Naseem Shah to Sampson, no run, pinpoint accurate yorker, a proper toe-crusher and nothing he could do about it, it followed him and he gets an inside egde onto the pads. Patriots are still in the race for playoffs. Turned out to be an exhilarating affair!

Naseem Shah to Sampson, no run, precious dot! dot at this stage is golddust. slow shorter one meandering wide of off, cannot connect on the pull across the line. He uses this delivery to great effect, and he added this to his armoury not that long ago

Naseem Shah to Paul, OUT, over the wicket, fraction short and offers width, it doesn't bounce much and he clubs it down to long-on, Holder is safe as a bank and gobbles it up well, not much power and elevation behind that shot

Holder to Shepherd, OUT, makes up for it right in the next delivery, short of a length and slanted across off, heaved into the air but hasn't got all of it, finds the man at long on and perishes at a critical juncture of the game
