That's all from us, today. Thank you for joining us, folks! On behalf of Binoy and Peter, this is Sreshth saying bye!

Bravo, winning captain: "They [TKR] are the best team in the tournament regardless of where they are in the table. We wanted to give a 100%. I had told the guys we want to bat first irrespective of the toss. I asked Sherfane where he wanted to bat and he said 'anywhere' so I said that's not what I asked, and he said 'No. 4.'

Pollard, losing captain: "Game got away from us in the last four overs with the ball. That's what shows us what T20 cricket is. Need to do yorkers better. Next game is a must-win and we expect a packed stadium. This is why we play the game."

Rutherford, Player of the Match: "Coming into this game, we tried to bat first because we have been chasing and losing. I wanted to bat some balls, take some time, and went well for me."

1.57pm Knight Riders now desperately need to beat Amazon Warriors over the weekend, while the Patriots league-stage campaign is over with a win. Now they can only wait to see how the rest of the games play out. Rashid, Bravo, Cottrell, Sinclair the heroes with the ball, but you better not forget the batting contributions from Sherfane Rutherford and Dewald Brevis in the first innings. From 43 for 3 in their first ten overs, the Patriots finished on a winning total courtesy Rutherford's 78 and Brevis' five-ball 30.

4
Cottrell to Patel, FOUR runs

four behind square, off his toes, but that's pure mathematical. Patriots win by seven runs and stay alive for playoff contention!

19.5
W
Cottrell to Narine, OUT

two in two! Good length outside off. Tries to slap it over cover, but sliced to the fielder at point

Sunil Narine c Bravo b Cottrell 0 (1b 0x4 0x6 3m) SR: 0
19.4
W
Cottrell to Russell, OUT

game, set, match? Patriots closer to staying alive in this tournament. In the slot for Russell to swing across the line but misses it altogether. Middle stump rattled! #Salute

Andre Russell b Cottrell 29 (17b 2x4 2x6 24m) SR: 170.58

Two sixes needed in three balls. Who you backing, fam? Grandstand finish.

1
Cottrell to Patel, 1 run

hands Dre the strike back. Slower ball, swiped to deep midwicket

19.2
1
Cottrell to Russell, 1 run

length ball angling into him. Clipped to deep midwicket. Wants two, but is forced to settle for one

19.2
2w
Cottrell to Patel, 2 wide

this time they take the run as this length ball goes down the leg side with Fletcher having to dive to his left. Fletcher, in fact, potentially saved three extra 'extras' with his effort. However, Russell would've been gone with the direct hit

19.1
Cottrell to Patel, no run

around the stumps. Good length ball outside leg stump. Patel makes room and tries to play through cover but misses. Patel wants to steal a bye, but Russell hasn't run! Fletcher misses the stumps, so Patel is not out however Russell is at the non-striker's. Russell should've run!

Samit Patel, hasn't faced a ball yet. A free-hit for him, you'd think, even if he hits the ball high up for a catch. Atleast the batters could cross for Russell to face the last five deliveries. Or the low-risk option is to search for the single. #MindGames with Cottrell giving his hat to the umpire. Patriots NEED a win to keep their season alive. Knight Riders NEED one too, but not as desperately since they have another league-stage game left. However, a loss for Knight Riders will dent their playoff chances significantly.

Dwayne Bravo to Russell, 2 runs

gets back on strike. Yorker length, just outside off. Squirts a sliced shot over point for a couple, and Russell is helped by a poor throw from the deep that wasn't near the stumps

Dwayne Bravo to Russell, SIX runs

gets another six away and brings the target to 22 off eight. Full ball on off from around the stumps and Russell hammers an inside-out thumping shot to wide long off. Hits the boundary skirting on the full!

full and wide outside off. Almost a wide yorker, importantly inside the tram-lines.
