Invited to bat first, Tallawahs were off to a precarious start with the scorecard reading 31/3 in the seventh over. However, the in-form batters Rovman Powell and Raymon Reifer resurrected the team's innings in a fine fashion. 

After setting his eyes, Powell increased his tempo to contribute 67 off 49, while Reifer contributed 28 off 26. The duo added 90 runs for the fourth wicket in less than 10 overs. 

Afterwards, Imad Wasim flexed his arms to remain unbeaten on 21 off 12, resulting in Tallawahs posting 153 on the board. The pick of the bowlers for Knight Riders was Ravi Rampaul with three scalps.

In response to the chase, Knight Riders lost their opening batters Sunil Narine and Tion Webster early. The southpaw Colin Munro tried well to keep the team in good stead with a 30-ball 29. 

However, the pair of Mohammad Amir and Wasim put an end to Nicholas Pooran (13) and Andre Russell (17) respectively. The rest of the line-up could not leave an impact, as Knight Riders were restricted to 119. 

Amir and Wasim were proficient to pick up two wickets each to help Tallawahs win their third game by 34 runs.
