That's it from this game! Still a league game to go but that will be a dead rubber as we have the four teams to qualify. Until next time, goodbye and take care!
David Warner has been awarded the MAN OF THE MATCH AWARD!
Dubai bowled brilliantly! They made excellent use of the little assistance which was on offer. Their pacers went to the slower ones quite early and that proved run scoring very difficult. Chameera was the pick for them. The Knight Riders were completely outplayed.
Dubai have booked their place in the next round. They put up a massive score which was always going to be difficult. Knight Riders got off to a slow start but Mayers and Gous did accelerate. However, the slow start is what is cost them. Also, whenever they tried to accelerate, they kept losing wickets.
