Most Valuable Player, Matt Short: "Firstly, I think you know this award [MVP] probably should go to Faf or Finn, they both probably batted a lot better tonight. They were probably the MVPs for the day. But yeah, obviously take the win. First game as captain, and probably first game in a few months for me as well. So it's just nice to be back out there, and I wanted to play a part in the win. It was nice. It felt really nice. The wickets, they've been really nice the last couple of years. So big shout out to the trainer and the guys from back home in Adelaide, they've done a great job as always. But obviously, nice to keep the season rolling. Four on four and we're happy with that. [Bartlett and Rauf] They're quality, world-class bowlers. It's great to have them on our side. I think just a credit for them to probably all the bowlers that sort of kept their head. They obviously got off to a flyer. Your head can drop, and when you see the ball flying around everywhere, it's sort of hard to maintain and bring them back. So they did a really good job towards the end. The boys have been really calm. And probably a shout out to Corey Anderson as well, who is out for the tournament, unfortunately. But his first three games as a leader for the boys, and not only this year, but the last couple of years, have been awesome, and he's sort of put us in good stead for the rest of the year. [Corey's injury] There's always hope. But I think he has been ruled out with a grade three, but we'll wait and see."

Faf du Plessis: "I looked yesterday at a net and could not hit the ball in the middle of the bat, so I was very frustrated. So luckily today, I needed that just to get your campaign on the road. It's a nice wicket to bat on this, so I think it's important that when you get in, you make sure you get a big score. I think batting first literally feels like the wind is stronger. So you feel like one side is a bit harder to hit into, and I think that makes it a little bit easy to bowl at the depth when you've got two new batters coming in versus now you can feel it's not as breezy, which just opens up both sides of the ground, but definitely, as I said, the foundation was there to go 20 runs more at the back end then."

10:25 pm Well, it was another masterclass in batting from the San Francisco Unicorns today, and they spoiled the mood for the home fans, beating the Texas Super Kings! The whistles died down a long time ago. This is the second-highest run chase in MLC history. The Unicorns' openers came out with clear intentions: attack, attack, and more attack! Matt Short led the charge from the front. They were 12 runs ahead of the Super Kings after the Powerplay, absolutely smashing 83 runs without losing a single wicket. That opening partnership was incredible, putting on 117 runs before Matt Short finally departed, but not before he'd made a rapid 61 runs off just 29 balls. After that, Finn Allen continued to damage, and JFM played his part too. Finn Allen was the top scorer for the Unicorns, blasting 78 runs off just 35 deliveries. This is getting serious, that's three times in four matches the Unicorns have scored over 200! Talk about some explosive batting power! The only bowler from the Super Kings who managed to keep things somewhat tight was Adam Milne, who picked up 1 wicket and conceded runs at an economy of 8.
