A comprehensive win, this, for the Redbacks. That stand between Ferguson and Christian really set it up for them. Huge pressure in the chase for KKR, especially after losing those early wickets. Some outstanding fielding by the Redbacks too, there were catches dropped by KKR. A superior performance helping the Redbacks come back strongly after a big defeat in their first match. KKR, meanwhile, have lost two in two in the main round and find themselves in a difficult situation. We'll get you the presentation in a bit. George Binoy will be updating his bulletin.

Klinger: "The innings from Callum and Christian were unbelievable. Those two were fantastic, they pushed a lot of twos and ran really hard when the pitch slowed up. We left out Tair purely because of the conditions. Tait, with extra pace, on this wicket is slightly easier to way probably."

Gambhir: "I never thought they would get to 180-odd. It was a brilliant effort from Ferguson and Christian. Sometimes we've bowled well in patches, and sometimes batted well in patches. At times we haven't complemented our batsmen, sometimes our bowlers."

Ferguson is the Man of the Match: "It was difficult early on, took a while to get in. Christian came in and made it easier for me by hitting some boundaries. It was Yusuf's last over and we thought we would attack him. We finished the innings well."

That's all we have for you today. See you again for the double-header tomorrow. Cheers.
