That's it from us today. Come back again tomorrow for more scintillating PSL action. For Varun Shetty, I'm Peter Della Penna. Take care!
Tom Kohler-Cadmore named Player of the Match: "It was quite nice because Sammy gave me complete freedom to go out there and take them on. I had a little bit of luck early doors, probably could've been bowled but luckily went down leg. I just chanced my arm and luckily it came off and we got the win. I just try to give my all to the team and if I can influence a game in the field, then that's great. I think it's a big part of T20 cricket is making sure that every ball counts and every run you can save can count when it comes to close games like that. I thought the lads fielded outstandingly tonight and instead of chasing 220, it meant chasing 190." Ramiz Raja's interview has been interrupted twice by planes passing overhead so TKC has been allowed to walk off having said his piece.
10.42 pm Pressure had been building the longer Imam stayed at the crease, but his innings is justified in the end. Rutherford with a blistering, short but very valuable cameo took the pressure off Haider Ali and Shoaib Malik, who finished off the work done by Kohler-Cadmore to get them in position for victory. Big big credit goes to Mohammad Imran in the first innings. His figures of 1 for 24 might not look glamorous, but the final over of the innings conceding just seven runs was magnificent and restricted Sultans to under 200, setting up a victorious chase. As good as Imran was at the death, the Zalmi bowlers on the flip side were quite poor down the stretch, regularly missing their lengths attempting yorker after yorker. Lack of variety in terms of changing their pace. Not sure if there was a single slower bouncer in the last few overs. Tanvir and Brathwaite in particular were less than sharp.
Sarat: "MS will regret the finish they got with the bat . They were aiming for over 200 at one stage" The 20th over bowled by Imran conceding just seven runs was magnificent.
This was the fourth-highest successful chase in the history of the PSL
