So that's it from us for this match. Do hop over to our coverage of the big Lahore v Mumbai match, which should be starting shortly.

Kane Williamson is man of the match: "Some balls stuck in the pitch and others skidded on, so it was interesting out there. They had a good score, so it was nice to get some partnerships going and chase it down.

Daniel Flynn: "The first ten overs didn't go the way we liked. We fought back well and it was a top knock from Kane. It's been unfortunate with the weather recently, but we got the result tonight. It's great to play in front of a crowd like this."

Aditi: "The best takeaway from this match has been the Northern Districts' pink pyjamas."

Express just didn't have the firepower with bat or ball, on this track. They didn't deal well with the short ball late in the innings, and the spinners didn't get much turn off. KW played a brilliant innings as well.

Losing captain Mubarak speaks: "It would have pretty good if Kusal had gone on. It was hard for guys to come in and get going. 92 was probably too few. In the next couple of matches we need to finish our innings better."

Maharoof to Williamson, FOUR, shot! False start or not, it doesn't matter. Williamson is unstoppable. He moves across the stumps again. Maharoof was expecting it and sent down a slower ball. KW is good enough to react and play the shot anyway, connecting well enough to collect a one-bounce four. That's 50 for him. Lovely knock.

False start. KW moves across the stump to set up for the scoop, but Maharoof holds on to the ball.
