That’s a wrap from our side as well. Thank you for joining us from all around the globe. This is Prince Suman signing off on behalf of my co-commentator Akshay Bhide and Scorer / Analyst Manish Bishnoi. Do join us for the other fixtures across the globe. Until then, Ta-Ta, Bye-Bye.
Wanindu Hasaranga (Player of the Match): "I came here after the India series and happy with my performance. The pitch was a bit slow when we were bowling and it was a good toss to win. I tried to bowl dot balls. Russell is a big man and I got him out on the first ball so I'm very happy."
Wanindu Hasaranga is named the Player of the Match.
Colin Munro (Desert Vipers Skipper): "We weren't too sure at the toss but it worked for us tonight. We started quite well with the ball. The addition of Hasaranga has helped us and finishing with figures of 3/18 did the job for us. We can lift a bit more in the field. Dropped a couple of chances but would be happy if we held onto it. Alex is one of the best T20 players in the world and great to see how he goes about his business. If he can continue his form, then I'm very happy."
Sunil Narine (Abu Dhabi Knight Riders Skipper: "We needed runs. If we get runs and get wickets in the powerplay, it makes a difference. I think if we bat first, we have to post a good total on the board. We have to step up as a batting unit It's a good surface but they bowled well. Hopefully, we will get our plans right in the next match. We gave a good fight. Russ picked up a couple of wickets but the partnership between Hales and Billings took the game away from us."

Stick around for the post-match presentations…….
15.4 A Russell to S Rutherford

15.3 A Russell to S Billings
1 Fuller ball down the leg, Billings shuffles across and flicks it to deep square leg for a single.
15.2 A Russell to S Billings
4 FOUR!!!!! Russell overpitches this one outside off, Billings leans into it and drives it beautifully past covers for a boundary. The sweeper in the off side has no chance of stopping this one.
15.1 A Russell to S Billings
2 Short ball in the middle, Billings pulls it to deep square leg for a couple of runs.

14.3 S Narine to S Rutherford
2 Length ball on the off, Rutherford dabs it to deep point for a couple of runs.
