Heinrich Klaasen | Seattle Orcas Captain - It was a tricky one. We put ourselves under pressure, we didn't get enough boundaries (in the first innings.) They (LAKR) bowled really well. We need to go up front, we lost our way a little bit after the powerplay. Need to execute our plans, otherwise you will get punished. It's a do or die situation for us. Need to win 5 out of 6, need to get on a roll in order to make it to the playoffs.
18:35 Local Time, 23:35 GMT, 05:05 IST: The Knight Riders break their 3-match losing sequence while the Orcas fall to four defeats in a row. The ploy of batting first hasn't worked for them in back-to-back games now. They did start well with the ball and took two wickets early, but Unmukt (86*) and Saif Babdar (54) added 139 for the third wicket to push the Knight Riders into the ascendency. They srtarted slowly and then took charge with some big overs during the middle over phase of the play, Saif was dismissed immediately after his half-century, but Unmukt stayed on to ensure no further hiccups. Orcas will look at their batting which wasn't at its best while the bowlers were on a hiding for nothing while defending the total
