That is all from this game. We have a blockbuster clash loading up in a few hours time. MI New York vs Texas Super Kings. A win for the Super Kings will take them to the top, while a win for MI will help them move to the second spot. Which team are you backing tonight? Do remember to join us for the all-important clash. Cheers!!
Steve Smith | Washington Freedom skipper: Our top-order didn't get off to the flier and take it deep. The run-rate was never out of reach and it is all about taking it deep and I think Pienaar and Milantha played some really smart cricket there. Lockie has been terrific and Netravalkar has been great for us, obviously a few hiccups with the bat but got the job done at the end. If one of our top-order had gone to make 60-70, things would have been a lot easier but really pleased with the win. Good that a few guys got some time in the middle.
Heinrich Klaasen | Seattle Orcas skipper: I think we lost game in the backend with the bat. I think we bowled quite well upfront, but we didn't have enough on the board. We are lacking that one guy that keeps on going at the backend, and that is something that will give the bowlers that extra cushion. Proud of the bowlers, they did what they needed to do and like I said not enough runs on the board and we need to get that right.
Lockie Ferguson | Player of the Match: Good start to the campaign, the bowling unit is going well and everyone is pitching in. There was a little bit in it for the bowlers, it's about finding your lengths and I think the boys have done that well.
Rachin Ravindra: It was keeping a little low, but worked out well for us in the end. It's about having positivity and playing fearless cricket and taking chances against your match-ups. Even though we lost a few wickets, as a team we wanted to stay positive and keep things under control. it's  a good team to be part of and just to be able to rub shoulders with some of these players is pretty special.
