Daniel Sams: "This pitch today seemed to be reacting a lot to those slower balls, so that's how I decided to go about it. It just depends on the day, but I'm just trying to rip it as hard as I can. [Team performance] One hundred percent. We spoke about trying to keep them to 160, so 150 is great. I think it was an all-around performance. Like you said, everyone bowled really well. Obviously, there are little standouts; Chris Green bowled really well up front again. It's a must-win game for us. So hopefully, we get over the line, and we can move forward to tomorrow. [Message to the Fans] It's been a bit of a testing season for them, but they've been coming out and supporting us. Keep coming out, and we'll keep giving it our best."

Hajji49: "The fielding this season has been the absolute worst. Very disappointing because CPL cricket used to be defined by excellent, sometimes superhuman, outfield skills. 2025, every game, several easy are catches being dropped. Any possible reason for this? Players just not switched on?" There are quite a few reasons that come into my mind. The dew, humidity, and a packed schedule might block the players' minds.

8:45 pm The Patriots began cautiously against both spinners, but Rizwan got a crucial life when Bosch dropped his catch in the second over, a drop that would prove to be very costly. Rizwan was the aggressive batter in the first six overs, but Fletcher chipped his wicket away at the end of the Powerplay. Sams then trapped Lewis in front for a golden duck. Chris Green struck with two wickets in the 10th over, dismissing both Mayers and a now-struggling Rizwan, who had slowed down in the latter part of his innings. The Patriots failed to build any significant partnership in the middle overs until Holder and Bidaisee came to the crease. Holder broke the shackles, smashing 18 runs off Warrican's final over, including two back-to-back sixes. The pair put up a substantial 74-run partnership off 46 deliveries, with Bidaisee departing after a solid 30 off 23 balls. Holder stayed unbeaten with a blistering 53 runs off 30 deliveries. Bosch was the pick of the bowlers with three wickets, but it could have been four if Simmonds hadn't dropped a catch off his bowling on the final ball of the innings. Green and Sams also picked up two wickets each.
