stroked over the covers, that'll do! Pitched up and Vince jumps across and slaps it away, beyond the man in the deep for the wining runs. Giants get up by four wickets and it will be a rematch of Qualifier 1 in Sunday's final

Cricinfo’s Most Valuable Players of the Match
9.58pm: Time for the presentations in Dubai, starting with MIE's Kieron Pollard: "We didn't get off to the greatest start. They bowled well and kept us in check. We finished with a decent total but were 15-20 runs short. We could have been tighter with the ball, get early wickets and get into them. They started well and we were always playing catch-up. Things went their way, so congratulations to them, but we lost that game. [ILT20 impressions] The best in the world come together and you get opportunities to showcase your talent. Long may that continue."
Gulf Giants captain James Vince is also Player of the Match: "Got off to a quick start which took the pressure off. We lost a few wickets through the middle but the guys who came in didn't chew up too many balls and found the boundaries. [Bowlers] Been fantastic all tournament, as Polly said they were 15 short. If we'd fielded better we could have kept them to 10 fewer. But we adapted well today. Good response [to losing first qualifier], we get a chance to put it right against the Vipers on Sunday."
And that concludes proceedings for tonight. We'll be back for the final between Desert Vipers and Gulf Giants on Sunday - thanks for your comments, from myself, Ekanth and Thilak, it's cheerio for now. Bye!
9.52pm: James Vince leads the Giants into the ILT20 final with a towering display. The captain finishes unbeaten on 83, streets ahead of the next-best contribution from his team. MIE looked to be below par after struggling through the early part of the innings and so it proved. They bow out despite the best efforts of Kieron Pollard and their elite ringer Rashid Khan

Boult to Brathwaite, OUT
bowled 'im! Full outside leg again and it deflects off his back knee into the stumps as Brathwaite holds the pose on a golf swing to leg. Not quite over yet, though there isn't much celebrating in the MIE camp

"Strange that Vince drops off so much at international level. With his talent, experience and calmness he should've been a mainstay in all formats you'd feel. He scores runs in almost every domestic game I watch him." He's back in England's squad for Bangladesh, Chris. Could end the year with another World Cup-winner's medal...

Dwayne Bravo to Brathwaite, SIX runs
smoked over long-off! Where have we seen him do that before...? Bravo takes pace off but misses his yorker, and Brathwaite belts it for six. Does that settle this for GG

googly outside off, played off the back foot and calmly punched down the ground for one
Carlos Brathwaite is in at No. 7. Slip and leg slip... and now Polly in under the helmet for Rashid's last ball
Speaking of the new Giants batter, here's Udam: "Or will it be that name? the name which we should remember! will finish it off in style."

W
Rashid Khan to Wiese, OUT
belted leg side... but straight to deep backward square! Wiese's attempt to get this done ends up with a flaccid connection and a simple catch for Waseem stood in from the rope. MIE chip out another, but it feels like too little, too late

half-tracker down leg, swatted fine! Poor to start off with from the great man, and Vince picks it off for a boundary that takes the RRR below a run a ball
Rashid Khan is back, MIE need wickets, wickets, wickets here
