TSK vs WF Live Score

12:48 AM IST Dropping down the curtains - Right then, that will be the end of a nail-biting encounter. Washington Freedom have got their two crucial points, and they are right now in fourth in the points table. The table looks pretty tight, as from the team sitting at the top to the fourth, all have 10 points in their bag and it's just the Net Run Rate which is making the difference. However, they still have one more game to go tomorrow, but for now let's shift our focus to the second game of this doubleheader, between Seattle Orcas and San Francisco Unicorns. The toss is already done, and the Unicorns have opted to BOWL first after winning the toss. So you can switch the tabs and join us with the live ball-to-ball coverage. See you there!

12:42 AM IST The skipper of Texas Super Kings - Faf du Plessis starts off saying that the game was pretty much in their hand, but it slipped. He reflected that while the team put themselves into a great batting position initially, they were not good enough during the final eight overs of the innings. He then explained that losing five wickets for far too few runs left them feeling roughly 12 to 15 runs short of a competitive total. He remarked that finishing matches had previously been one of their strengths this season, suggesting that their recent struggles come down to a need for better decision-making.

12:40 AM IST The skipper of Washington Freedom - Steve Smith, about getting the win by a small margin, says that his team had the resilience to win the game at the very last moment. He then appreciates Ben Dwarshuis for the way he soaked up the pressure and delivered for the team. About his own performance, he says that it feels nice to bat well and contribute to the team. He reckons he is in good form and he would like to keep it that way. About the last game, he says that they have a big game tomorrow, so they will get some rest and then prepare for the final group stage showdown.

12:36 AM IST POTM AWARD - Ben Dwarshuis wins the Player of the Match for his scoring 36 runs off 16 balls and picking a wicket as well. About the run chase, he says that he wasn't feeling the pressure, he was just swinging his willow and the shots were connecting really well from the bat. About this personal performance in the tournament, he says that he had some ups and downs in the performance, but he would like to keep this momentum and try to replicate this performance in tomorrow's match.

12:32 AM IST Time for the presentation ceremony...

12:31 AM IST Composure till the very end - From there, Washington wobbled. Andries Gous fell for 9, Lahiru Milantha bowled for 1, Nikhil Chaudhary ground out a patient 12 before being bowled by Dian Forrester, and suddenly Washington were 114 for 6 in the 16th over, needing 52 off 24 balls with the tail exposed. Texas scented blood. Then Ben Dwarshuis walked to the crease and promptly forgot he was a number eight. He paired with Obus Pienaar for a jaw-dropping 42-run seventh-wicket stand off just 19 balls that ripped the game away from Texas's grasp in a matter of minutes. After the dismissal of Obus, Dwarshuis kept his composure with his new partner, Marco Jansen, crossing the line with smiles on their faces.
