Mohammad Mohsin, Most Valuable Player: Great effort from fast bowlers; they set up the tone for us. We just kept it simple, stumps-to-stumps bowling was key. They had to hit against the wind so hitting stumps worked. Nice to contribute towards the team's win, doesn't matter being a local but, yes, it does give me more confidence. The presence of international stars helps us. Even last year we had Imran Tahir and I learned a lot from him.

That's it from our MLC coverage today. Join us tomorrow for the match between Seattle Orcas and Washington Freedom. For now, on behalf of Binoy George, this is Rvel Zahid saying goodbye!

SFU had a slim chance of winning with only 128 to defend after losing the plot with the bat. A combination of unimaginative shots and succumbing to the pressure of dots meant they could only scrape their way to a below-par score, which didn't cause any trouble for TSK. Faf du Plessis, fresh off a blazing century, took on the bowlers and joined forces with Devon Conway to get them off to a flier in the powerplay. After that, it was one-way traffic. Hassan Khan did pick up a few wickets in the middle, but it was too little, too late. SFU's big guns misfired today and will have a lot to ponder. Mohsin, the pick of the bowlers, returned 4/13 while DJ Bravo snapped up two wickets in his three overs. Everybody chipped in and it was a well-knit bowling effort from TSK, which will please Faf du Plessis who's still loving the game and going strong. This massive NRR-boosting win has catapulted TSK to the top of the table.

Haris Rauf to Santner, 1 run, Full-length delivery shaping away from off, crunches it to deep cover-point and that'll do nicely for TSK who have got their first win of the season! They've won by seven wickets and 43 balls to spare. An utterly dominating performance! The bowlers set it up for them with M. Mohsin doing the most damage.
