That's it for the game. We will be back soon with more action. Do join us soon. Bye for now.
Rehan Ahmed | Match Hero: There was a lot of spin on the pitch. We train on similar surfaces so it was about going there and doing the same things. We got lucky there. Me and Root did not talk much out there. He just told me to go for it. Always had confidence that Coxy was going to do it for us.
21:10 Local Time, 20:10 GMT, 01:40 IST: The Rockets finish second. They made things difficult for themselves. When Root and Rehan were there, it seemed to be an easy chase. But wickets fell and the Phoenix used spin to come back into the game. It got very nervy at the end but the cool Cox took them over the line. The pitch will be up for a lot of discussion as it turned big and that's why the spinners dominated. Livingstone rightly threw the ball to part-timers like Jacob Bethell but the Rockets scraped over the line. Tense faces at the end as the Phoenix sensed a fine comeback win but it was not to be. They used 8 bowlers as Livingstone shuffled his pack. Stay tuned to find out who the match hero is...
