9.50pm: The CPL caravan now moves to Florida. Jamaica Tallawahs captain Chris Gayle has thrown his support behind making a USA leg an annual part of the Caribbean Premier League's schedule. Until next time, goodbye and cheers. Thanks for reading.
9.35pm: From 63 for 5 and then 114 for 6, Knight Riders have won with an over to spare. They move to third, displacing Zouks. The hosts, however, take a lap of honour and thank the big crowd.
Presentation:
Sammy: Halfway through the match, we were pretty happy with the total and confident we could have got it home. I don't think we executed our plans as well as we did in the last three games, but Umar played well. We were beaten by a blinder of an innings. Catches win matches and we dropped three. That was tough. We are still in with a chance. We play Jamaica twice in Florida. We are still in a good space and will press forward. Would have been nice to make it four out of four. I want to thank the crowd on the behalf of the Zouks team.
Bravo: Brilliant comeback. Congrats to Umar Akmal, words can't explain that innings. 65 for 5, we had messed it up earlier. You would not want your best bowler [Narine] to bowl only three overs, but the game plan that time was to bowl full and wide with the seamers.
Umar Akmal, Man of the Match: I was confident of chasing it down. I wanted to play positively and this is one of my favourite grounds. I have played in World T20 here.
