That's all for tonight. See you soon.
Heinrich Klaasen: The batters took the responsibility tonight. The intensity in the field was the difference in the field. Luckily we have got a quality group of local players. Ricky hasn't played cricket for two months so I was really happy for him to come in. I asked Quinny if they can finish the game in the 18th, he told me it's actually quite tricky. But I saw Quinny was in control and as long as the guys are in there, you have got full confidence.
Sunil Narine: We got off to a decent start but they bowled well in the middle overs. But I think we didn't play a good game of cricket. Something to go back and think about. Every game, it's getting better to bat in the second innings. We will try to take positives from here and keep our head high as this is a short tournament.
Ryan Rickelton, the Player of the Match: Just happy to be out playing cricket and contribute. We have got some great guys here. I was panicking in the 90s and Quinny wasn't helping me. I think the pitch got a lot better, it was a bit sticky first. That's why we bowled first. [On his 100th run] It was a shocking run. I just had to run. I told Quinny we had to run no matter what. Luckily Sunny missed the stumps.
Time for the presentation ceremony.
Wayne Parnell: I think the bounce-backability impresses me the most. There was some good fielding as well. And when one guy gets an unbeaten hundred and another a fifty, you are going to win. I have been a bit sick, so that's why not playing. The way Quinny constructed his innings, with Rickelton flying, think there was a lot of communication between the two. That was the most important part of that. [On his bucket hat] It has to go the management, and is a part of trying to grow cricket in the US.
10.56pm Seattle Orcas have their first win of the season. It was set up by their bowlers who restricted LA Knight Riders to 168 for 5 despite a fifty from Jason Roy and late hitting from David Miller. Rickelton then led the chase with an unbeaten hundred with de Kock scoring a crucial fifty as well.
One required from two balls. Miller, Narine and Ali Khan convene again

kartik: "After so many nervous ninety finally rickelton get 100!!!"
