6pm That will be all from us for this game. There is more ILT20 action lined up today with MI Emirates taking on Gulf Giants in about half an hour from now. From Shashwat, Ranjith and Vairavan, this is goodbye!
Andries Gous is the Player of the Match for his 50-ball 95!
5:45pm A clinical Knight Riders run-chase, and this should set them up nicely for the ILT20. Gous' knock was the highlight, with the opener finishing on 95 off 50, smashing the ball to all parts during his innings. Pepper played his part too, as did Evans, and this has given the Knight Riders a solid blueprint, at least when batting second.
Nothing to shout about from a Vipers perspective. They could not make early inroads and were always playing catch-up. Hasaranga did not have a great day with the ball either, and that complicated matters in the middle overs. Lawrence and Mills were the only bright spots in what was otherwise a dull bowling display.
Imad Wasim joins Gous. The Vipers need just three more
LJ Evans c Hose b Mills 21 (28m 18b 2x4 1x6) SR: 116.66
Gous on strike. Mills to bowl
Another potential overlap could be South Africa travelling to Pakistan for an ODI series as prep for the 2025 Champions Trophy, pencilled in for mid-February
Noor was offered another year's extension by Sharjah Warriors, but refused to sign the retention notice
Put in to bat, they raced to fifty in 3.3 overs and never looked back against Dubai Capitals
MI have been boosted by the return of Nicholas Pooran but they will be wary of a Capitals line-up that enters the final on the back of four successive wins
The order of the Eliminator and Qualifier 1 was changed, with the Eliminator brought forward from Wednesday to Tuesday and Qualifier 1 pushed back from Tuesday to Wednesday
