Thanks for joining us for the game tonight. Please do join us tomorrow for what promises to be an interesting game. Good night from me and Chandan till then
Anderson: We can adapt to batting / fielding first. It kind of makes it easy for me. Defending the smaller boundaries here can be difficult and makes chasing a little easier. (On the injuries) It is what it is and we are confident that the boys can keep doing the job
Klaasen: Disappointing since we played the final last year. The score was below par as it was a good wicket. We would be looking for a win in the final game as we are a proud team and we played below par this season
Finn Allen is the player of the match" Spinners gave us what we exactly asked out of them and we have a quality top-order. Making the early inroads was crucial for us. The pitch had something for batters and bowlers. (On his partnership with Matt Short)He is good to bat with. Similar mindsets, I guess."
This result makes the game between Los Angeles Knight Riders and MI New York interesting. A win for Los Angeles Knight Riders will take them through to the play-offs. MI New York, the defending champions, need a boost to their Net Run Rate in addition to the win to qualify for the play-offs
Hassan Khan (on the Klaasen wicket): I bowled in the right areas and yeah it was a good wicket. He adds that he was practicing well and bowling in the right areas. So, when the opportunity came he was confident that he could deliver. When asked about his batting, he replied that liked to keep it simple and back himself playing his strokes.
With the win, San Francisco Unicorns have ensured themselves a top-two finish and they will play Washington Freedom in the first qualifier for a spot in the final and they will have a dress rehearsal in their final game of the league stages
