Zouks move to second, having played an extra game. Knight Riders remain on top. Early days still and the next game - between Amazon Warriors and Tallawahs - should be exciting. Hemant Brar will be with you for that one. Hope you enjoyed the coverage. This is me, Shashank, saying goodbye on behalf of Ranjith and Thilak. Cheers!
Mohammad Nabi is Man of the Match for his 35 and 1 for 17.
"I told Mark Deyal, 'I've played 12 years of international cricket, but didn't have half your talent'. Also our Afghanistan players were brilliant," says Zouks captain Daren Sammy . "We don't have superstars but skill level is right up there. Good mix, boils down to execution, did that really well."
"We lost the plot in the last two overs, says Patriots captain Rayad Emrit . "160 would have been chaseable. Pressure on us, we've been in this position before, so no reason why we can't do it.
1.45pm The difference in the end being Nabi's cameo. Zouks made 32 off the last two overs, and have now pulled off this game by 10 runs. The margin of victory may indicate the game was very close, but the reality was much different. Zouks were mostly in control and if not for Cottrell's big blows towards the end, when the game looked decided, reduced the margin of victory.
The two key wickets were those of Ewin Lewis and Chris Lynn. The Australian was out to a moment of brilliance from Najibullah to set them back. As good as Nabi was with the bat, Chase was that good with the ball, finishing with 3 for 12, including 14 dot balls in his four-over spell, to put the brakes on the Patriots. Tough call for Man of the Match coming up very shortly.
