That's all from today's schedule. It's Freaky Friday time! Four games are coming up on the penultimate match day of the group stage. First, Team Abu Dhabi will take on Morrisville Samp Army. Join us at 2.45 pm IST (9.15 am GMT). Join us earlier for the build up. Till then, cheers!
Kieron Pollard says it was a total team effort, despite the last over going for a lot of runs, they bowled really well. Tells Khuzaima Tanveer has been bowling well, he is taking his opportunity and is shining so far. Shares he loves to have fun and play cricket, as long as he has strength in his body, he will continue.
The Player of the Match, Kusal Perera says he is willing to take risk and go hard at the top. Adds he just tries to do his basic right.
If not for Sherfane Rutherford's knock, Northern Warriors would have ended with an under par total. It was just not their day. Their batters apart from Allen and Rutherford struggled to go big. With the ball, once someone like Trent Boult goes to the cleaners, it's hard for other bowlers to make an impact. A bad day in the office. A win means New York Strikers stay in the hunt for the playoff race while Northern Warriors have lost three matches in a row now.
Chaseable Thursday! All three games today have been chased down with ease. A fantastic performance from New York Strikers! We told you this is a par total on a pitch which is decent to bat on. Kusal Perera came in and set the tone by taking on Trent Boult. He was in an unstoppable mood after that. Perera went onto score the join fastest fifty of this season and eventually the overall score.

A bumper on middle, Ali looks to pull but top edges it to square leg. Short fine leg, keeper and the bowler run across but it still lands safely.
