Los Angeles Knight Riders 184 for 7 (Munro 52, Tromp 49, Russell 40, Rauf 3-25) beat San Francisco Unicorns 173 (Hassan 45, Short 43, Hammad 40, Holder 4-40, Russell 3-42) by 11 runs

Holder, though, removed Hammad off the last ball of the over, and Russell claimed the final wicket to bowl Unicorns out with five balls remaining. Holder finished with 4 for 40 to earn the Player-of-the-Match award, while Russell took 3 for 42 after contributing a cameo with the bat.

Unicorns threatened to pull off the chase after recovering from their early collapse, but LAKR held their nerve at the death to register a second successive win and move into second place.

Unicorns, LAKR and MI New York are on 10 points each after nine matches, with Unicorns on top thanks to their net run rate.
