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.

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

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

SP Narine c DJ Bravo b Cottrell 0 (3m 1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

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

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

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