The Emirates not only grab two points but their NRR also gets a massive boost. They move up to 2nd place and the Vipers stay at the top despite this debilitating defeat. That’s it from us tonight. Take care and goodbye.
Tom Banton | Player of the Match: I didn't get off to a flier, knew the longer I stayed there the better chance I had. Sometimes you get off to a flier and sometimes you don't.
Nicholas Pooran: It was very pleasing to see, the last two games were tough for us. We had some tough conversations with the players and they went out and executed exactly what we planned. Was great to see that partnership.
Sam Curran: Tough loss. It can happen in T20 cricket. We were a little off with our fielding energy. Banton played really well. It's such a quick tournament, we reflect on it, move on and bounce back. There's no panic whatsoever, we're a really settled team. Was great ball-striking from them. Needed someone to fly off the blocks with the bat but it didn't happen.
21:32 Local Time, 17:32 GMT, 23:02 IST: Absolute domination by the MI Emirates tonight.
