That's it from us today. Don't forget, though, that more cricket begins with the New Zealand vs West Indies game in only another three-and-a-half hours. It was a thriller in the ILT20 tonight, with DV at the top of the points table after their second win in as many games. Until next time, this is Himanshu signing off. Goodnight!
Shimron Hetmyer is the Player of the Match: "I try to not have the smile, but it comes out naturally! Stay in it for long as I possibly can... I kind of like the tag [of the finisher]."
Sam Curran, DV captain: "It was a quite a lucky escape, you could say. It was amazing. Such a powerful batting line-up [ADKR have]. We thought we bowled really well. A little twist with Hetty and Dan getting out."
Sunil Narine, ADKR captain: "We felt short by 15-20 runs. We started well in the powerplay. Powerplay was key. The situation made it a bit easier for them. It was a bit tough for the spinners [due to the dew]. At the end of the day, it's part of the game."
Time for the presentations
10.06pm A thrilling finish in the end. The pendulum kept swinging this way and that in the chase: DV were 71 for 4 in ten overs, 61 for 0 in the next five, and then 22 for 3 in the next three overs. In the end, though, it took a match-defining knock from No. 8 Tanveer, who smashed 31* off 12 balls, for DV to cross the line. Hetmyer flicked the switch in the middle overs as Lawrence played anchor, although Ajay's strikes kept ADKR in the hunt. His effort of 3 for 21 went in vain, however. Join us for the presentation soon.
Shadow-Shell: "Khuzaima is playing a gem of an innings here"
Stone to Tanveer.
Eight to win off six balls. This is a proper thriller.
END OF OVER:19 | 11 Runs | DV: 164/8 (8 runs required from 6 balls, RR: 8.63, RRR: 8.00)
