The action is done for this game but MI New York and Washington Freedom are getting set to lock horns on the same ground. Rvel Zahid's coverage has started, check it out. From game 12, it's goodbye from me, Ekanth, on behalf of Vairavan, our scorer.

Sunil Narine: Always good to win. If you make winning a habit it follows you. We had chances to capitalise even when we lost. We still played good cricket. Hopefully, we get over the line next time. The fans have been great.

Wayne Parnell: Rilee showed his class and experience. It's a game of inches and we're on the wrong side. We will debrief. Our mantra has been to be consistent. Whether we're winning or losing, so we'll have the same chats today.

Rilee Rossouw, POTM: It's a different feeling to win. It was my day and it came off. We've had to adapt to the up and down movement and adjust to the different conditions here.

4pm: Rilee Rossouw helps LAKR finish their tournament with their first win. He got able support from the lower order and they took down Tye in the end. They did well to recover in the middle overs after Gannon helped take out the top order. Russell was good in the middle, Narine, van Schalkwyk, Zampa and Johnson made handy contributions. Parnell, Harmeet, Tye were taken down and Orcas suffer their first loss.

Imad Wasim to Rossouw, SIX runs

No. Rossouw gets on one knee and shoots it over cover. The gun celebration with the bat dropping behind, is out. It was a full ball that was wide and flighted. He got on one knee and smeared it.

Just two needed. LAKR on the verge of getting their first win. Will there be a twist?

Gannon to Zampa, OUT

Jones comes in from deep cover and takes a good sliding catch. Ball was on a length outside off, Zampa sliced it off the top edge in an attempt to carve it squarer. Man from cover was running back but had to pull out, Jones chugged at full steam to make it
