Scorer: Ranjith P | Commentator: Rvel Zahid
MI Emirates register an emphatic eight-wicket victory, completely outplaying Warriors today; the gulf between the two sides was enormous. The damage was inflicted with the ball when Emirates kept a lid on the score, restricting them to 129. Muhammad Waseem and Kusal Perera then decimated Warriors' bowling attack with their terrific display of hard-hitting and Nicholas Pooran added some maximums to cap off a comfortable win. Warriors will be dented with this morale-crushing defeat. Earlier, Waqar Salamkheil and Akeal Hosein were miserly and made life onerous for the batters while Trent Boult and Fazalhaq Farooqi brought their vast experience to the fore and built enormous pressure. I'll wrap things up here for tonight; will be back tomorrow for more ILT20 action. Thank you for your company tonight!

Muhammad Jawadullah to Fletcher, FOUR, belted all along the floor past cover for a sizzling boundary, nothing working for Warriors who have run out of ideas now. Too full with some room on offer and he calmly squeezed it out to sweeper cover, it's a fast outfield so there's no cutting that off, fielder had no chance in the deep

Muhammad Jawadullah to Fletcher, FOUR, Dishes out a high full-toss but he is not surprised, watches the ball like a hawk and steers it past Watt at short third for a boundary, brilliant adjustment towards the end from Spice Man
