Full commentary

So Singapore snatch one out of the fire, to keep their chances of winning the ACC Elite alive. Kuwait having bowled well went at the run-chase with a fair amount of slap-dash recklessness and from 121 for 2, only a 31-run last wicket stand got them near. Singapore's spinners from the Pavilion End found grip and turn, none more so than young Abhiraj Singh whose 5-42 wins him another Man of the Match award. Thanks for being with us, I promised drama at the start of the Kuwait innings and both sides delivered. Kuwait now have to beat the booming bats of Saudi Arabia to keep their own hopes of winning this event alive. Monday's a rest day. We look forward to being back with you from Singapore on Tuesday.

that uppish drive is within reach this time! Nevertheless, mid-off juggles it and takes only at the second attempt. Singapore win by 20 runs!
