18:13 Local Time, 14:13 GMT, 19:43 IST: How did Abu Dhabi Knight Riders bottle this? Chasing 167, ABDK lost Peeper for a duck in the very first over. Jason Roy and Joe Clarke took the attack to the bowlers and hit a flurry of boundaries to forge a quickfire fifty partnership. Overton bounced out the latter to pick up his second wicket. But the Giants couldn't apply the brakes on the scoring rate. Alishan Sharafu joined Roy to stitch another half-century partnership. Aayan Khan castled Roy for 47 and Alishan Sharafu perished in the very next over. With 63 runs needed in 48 balls, the game was pretty much in the balance. But Laurie Evans started off beautifully
