Texas Super Kings jump up to the second spot. They are sandwiched between San Francisco Unicorns and Washington Freedom. All the top three teams have qualified for the playoffs and are tied on 12 points. But they're eyeing to finish in the top-two. That's it for today. Tune in tomorrow for Los Angeles Knight Riders vs MI New York - two teams languishing at the bottom with just one win each. For now, goodbye...

Marcus Stoinis: The boys did really well, I can't complain. In a shortened game, you always want to chase. When you make that many runs, it puts a lot of pressure on the other team. Once we used Akeal and saw that it was spinning and holding a little bit, that made it easier for the rest of the innings. (On retiring Mitchell out) It's going to be used more and more. It was only a 5-over game, Daryl hardly faced a ball, he got caught up at the non-striker's end. It was more about the fact that we had Don that we were saving from the first two overs. We wanted to send him for the last three overs. We were always planning to bowl Akeal at least one in those first two and then adjust from there. He obviously bowled a brilliant over and then it was quite clear that we could use our spinners. Very important (win), it puts us second on the ladder now, we are happy.

Donovan Ferreira | Player of the Match: That was good. I am glad I did it for the team, especially in such a close game. You need to get to a high score, felt good. Flem said, "Be ready, we're going to take Mitch off.." It's never nice taking a player off, hope he understands it's for the better of the team and luckily for us tonight, it paid off. It's just one of those nights, it really came off. I don't know if that's 106m (six), it looked further than that. The one at the Wanderers on the roof was quite big as well.

Glenn Maxwell: (On not bowling spin) If we would have been able to change our team, we would have had one in there. First three overs went as per plan, and it felt like the right decision to bowl those guys. They had the score on the board and it was always going to be a tough ask, and we need a lot of things going our way. Unfortunately, we never really had any momentum going into the game and they had two quality spinners for those conditions.

22:59 Local Time, 02:59 GMT, 08:29 IST: A convincing win for Texas Super Kings in this five-over encounter. They posted the second highest score in a five overs match in T20 cricket. After losing Stoinis cheaply, Shubham Ranjane batted with a lot of intent against the Washington Freedom pacers. Daryl Mitchell couldn't get going and he retired himself out. That brought in Donovan Ferreira who played a blinder - 37* off 9 balls - smashing 5 sixes. In reply, the Freedom never really looked threatening. Nandre Burger picked two wickets in the first over and then the two left-arm spinners took over the proceedings. After conceding a six off his first ball, Akeal Hosein came back superbly to finish with 1/18 which included the prized scalp of Owen. Noor Ahmad gave away a couple of fours off his first two balls but bowled miserly after that to help his team register a big win

4.6

Noor Ahmad to Phillips, 1 run, Phillips clears his front leg and inside-halves the heave to long-on. TSK win by 43 runs

4.5

Noor Ahmad to Phillips, no run, 55mph, slower through the air and Phillips miscues the loft towards long-off. He was probably looking to go over extra cover. Mitchell runs in and to his left from long-off, dives forward to catch it with both hands. The ball was dying on him and he did well to get his fingers under it. Mitchell isn't sure if he's caught it cleanly. The TV umpire takes a couple of looks and rules in favour of the batting side. I couldn't see any part of the ball touching the ground. Even Phillips is surprised as he returns to face the final ball

4.4

Noor Ahmad to Phillips, no run, 60mph, quick leggie outside off, Phillips shapes to heave across the line and misses

4.3

Noor Ahmad to Pienaar, 1 run, 57mph, appeal for lbw, turned down. Full on leg, Pienaar gets low to sweep and the ball rolls to short fine leg off his pad. TSK review. Seems to be pitching outside leg. Firstly, is there an under-edge? There's a murmur on UltraEdge confirming a tickle. So the onfield call stays and TSK burn a review

Obus Pienaar, right handed bat, comes to the crease

DRS!

4.2

Noor Ahmad to Gous, out Bowled!! Cleaned up! 57mph, scrambled seam legbreak on a length, Gous gets down to slogsweep and misses it altogether to hear the death rattle. Gous b Noor Ahmad 6(7)

3.4

3.3

Akeal Hosein to Phillips, 1 run, quicker and shorter, Phillips swings hard and across the line. Loses his shape and the ball rolls to cover off the toe-end of the bat bat
