NYW vs CK

That brings us to the end of our coverage of this match. There's still one more US Masters T10 game left in the day, keep an eye on our tabs for our coverage of the same! This is Rajarshi, signing off on behalf of Mohul. See you tomorrow!

Aaron Finch, California Knights captain: It was a good win. In a format like this, every team is closely tied together in the table. You just need to keep backing your strengths. It was always going to be difficult if we hit the pitch enough, the wicket was quiet low at the back end there, anything on a length was hard to just stand there and hit. 

Devendra Bishoo is the Player Of The Match! Here's what he has to say: It was good to be playing, bowling today, I'm so happy. It was very important, the wickets, we didn't want them to have a good start. Just tried to bowl smart, pick up the wickets, and it came off. We just had to take away the boundary balls, and we did that well today.

Misbah-ul-Haq (New York Warriors' captain): It was quite challenging to chase these runs down, but full credit to their bowlers for pitching the ball in the right areas. The ball seemed to be skidding a bit but it was keeping low as well. The bounce was variable at times and that helped them to some extent. 

Match summary:

California Knights win by 16 runs

Aaron Finch 24(12) | Devendra Bishoo 2/10 (2)
Tillakaratne Dilshan 43(27) | Jerome Taylor 2/20 (2)

The New York Warriors ended up leaving too many runs for later! Their over-reliance on Richard Levi for fast starts were on show once again today. Devendra Bishoo, with his flight and guile, accounted for two of the Warriors' most dangerous batters in Kamran Akmal and Richard Levi in his two overs, and since then, the Warriors were left chasing the game for the most of it!

Timing the ball proved to be a rigorous exercise for the Warriors top-order as well. While Kamran Akmal managed to find the gaps on occasions, the going was much, much tougher for Dilshan initially. He had just one boundary to his name in his first deliveries, and was having a really tough time out there until the halfway stage of the innings.

The boundaries started to come more often as we headed towards the back-end of the innings, with the Knights bowlers erring in length too often. However, Irfan Pathan proved to be an anomaly out of them, closing out the game with an exquisite over of death bowling, and in the process, helped his team clinch the win.

9.6 Irfan Pathan to Jonathan Carter, short of a length outside off. Carter punches it down to long on for a single. However, it is not enough. CALIFORNIA KNIGHTS WIN THIS GAME!

9.4 Irfan Pathan to Misbah-ul-Haq, at a length and wide outside off. Misbah swings for the moon, but India have sent Chandrayaan there already, and Misbah is a tad too late!

Right, then. 21 needed off the last over. Misbah, who has been striking them cleanly lately, will be on strike. We have an India-Pakistan one-on-one contest now as Irfan Pathan braces to bowl the last over...

8.5 Pawan Suyal to Misbah-ul-Haq, FULL TOSS AND SIX! EASY PICKINGS! Full toss outside off. Misbah manages to slap it back over the bowler for a massive hit first ball! The umpire is checking for height too. And yes, no ball is called as the ball was way above the waist!
