Full commentary

1.56pm So that's all for this game. There's another game on at the same venue, where the weather is looking great. New York Warriors have won the toss and chosen to bowl against Atlanta Riders. You can follow that match here. This is Abhimanyu signing off on behalf of Ranjith and Thilak. Buh-bye!

1.52pm Time for the presentation ceremony.

Triton's skipper Gautam Gambhir: "So far it's good but we have four-five matches to go so hopefully we can keep the momentum going. Obviously when you chase 85 in five overs it gives you confidence. [On him not batting today] Obviously when we were chasing 116 it was important for a left-right combination. We need to stay flexible."

The player of the match is Yusuf Pathan: "Enjoying myself and the team has faith in me that I'll win them games. In T10s, you don't need to think much, just trust your ability and play fearless cricket. I try to keep myself in good form so I can get in good positions to hit from the start."

California Knights captain Aaron Finch: "It's hectic! It goes by so quick. Yusuf played a beautiful innings in the end. We didn't get enough runs in the end. [On his knock] It was a very slow start. I was probably trying to hit it too hard, moving around too much, so good lesson for the next match. It was just one of those overs. [On his five sixes in an over] Mis-executed a few but glad to see them go for six. [On captaining in T10s] Always learning. I've only played two games of T10. Got a duck in the first one, got some runs today. Hitting from ball one, it's something I've struggled with as I've got older but it's something to upskill. [On Kallis taking a blow to the helmet] Takes a lot to rattle the big man. He's the greatest player ever for a good reason. He'll shake it off. It's a fast format and we have to move on quick so there won't be too much dwelling on it."

1.36pm A good win in the end for New Jersey Triton's. Yusuf Pathan smashed 29 off the eighth over to change the momentum in the chase as they chase down 117 with two deliveries to go. With that, Triton's go top of the table. Ojha gave them the early momentum before a few quick wickets slowed them down. Pathan came to life towards the death with his 11-ball 35 before Barnwell and Trego completed the job. Earlier, Aaron Finch smashed an unbeaten 75 off just 31 deliveries, hitting five sixes off the ninth over of their innings bowled by Barnwell, but his stunning knock goes in vain eventually. The first game today was rained out with no play, but we had good weather for this one, with the sun out in Florida.

Benn to Trego, 2 runs

Low full toss outside off, Trego reverse-paddles it past the keeper and Kallis does brilliantly to chase from short third and stop it just short of the boundary rope! Excellent fielder from the South African legend

Benn to Barnwell, 1 run

Very full around off, Barnwell looks for the big swing but can only get it out along the ground to deep midwicket

11 needed off the last over. We are potentially in for a last-ball thriller! Suleiman Benn will bowl this final over!

Siddle to Barnwell, 2 runs

Full toss on leg, sliding down and Barnwell just gets some bat on it to trickle it fine. The ball slows down allowing Irfan Pathan to chase from short third to fine leg to stop that as the batters pick up two

Siddle to Barnwell, FOUR runs

Slower bouncer but Barnwell picks this one nicely. Pulls it through the gap in front of deep midwicket for his second boundary off as many deliveries!

Siddle to Trego, 1 run

Full on middle and leg, Trego digs it out to deep point to get Barnwell on strike

Peter Trego now, who did a good job with ball in hand. What will he do with the bat?

W
Siddle to Pathan, OUT

He sure can stop Yusuf's charge! It's a slower bouncer outside off, Yusuf looks to pull it away but skies it but doesn't get the distance. It's a simple catch at deep midwicket and Yusuf has to go for 35 off 11

Yusuf Pathan c Powell b Siddle 35 (11b 2x4 4x6) SR: 318.18

So Yusuf Pathan gets 29 runs off that over, to make up for that over where Finch hit five sixes and Knights got 32. 19 needed off the last two now! Can Siddle stop their charge?

Suyal to Pathan, OUT

Morkel's run out. Suyal goes full and Yusuf looks to whip it away but the ball just drops in front of him as he inside edges it onto his pads. They take off for the single but Suyal is quick to run across and run Morkel out. Morkel looks a little in discomfort as he walks away

Albie Morkel run out (Suyal) 8 (7b 0x4 1x6) SR: 114.28
