A good double-header on Saturday. The first game had a big margin, even though it did throw up a bit of surprise. The second game dialled up the tension much higher. Hope to see more of that tomorrow. Thanks for joining today. Take care, bye.

Scott Edwards, Amsterdam Flames captain: It was close. The game ebbed and flowed. They were well on top. Super proud of how we fought back. Brought it back to 50-50 and closed it off. We felt like the wicket was tricky. Fair play to Dublin, they bowled well. We went nowhere for a couple of overs and lost wickets, then Curtis took us a little over par. The powerplay didn't go to plan in the chase. Vince targeted the short boundary and put them into a good position. All three spinners piled on dots and increased the asking rate to nine, after which we needed a quiet over or two. Brought back Gleeson for an over to get a break-through. He was phenomenal. Pitch got slower, ball softer, but all three guys for crafty. Not the ideal start to the tournament, we felt we had to get a couple of fixtures at home. We're playing some good cricket, lots to do get to out best. Happy with how we're coming along.

Tim Pringle, POTM: Stoked. Tight game, stoked to win. Simple stuff for me we speak about as a spin group. Keep the stumps in play. Ashwin's wicket was the favourite, to get him with arm ball. Half-half with decisions on reviews with the skipper.

R Ashwin, Dublin Guardians captain: Hard to assess that, we're finding ways to lose. We batted better last game. Vince got a special knock. We should've won, but when you're down this can happen. Gelling isn't a problem right now, there is an intent to learn and air of excitement. We're not nailing our bowling and ice it with the batting, like today. Learning happens only when you make mistakes, hopefully we learn from here. Our goal is to continue improving and hopefully get that first win.

6:50pm: Guardians snatch victory from the throat of defeat. To go from 114 for 2 to failing nine short of a middling target is poor. Their fifth loss in a row. Far from a perfect game for both teams. Flames win back-to-back and are in fourth position. Vince wasn't in control a lot, he rode his luck well to make 73, while taking the team to the above score. When he fell, Dockrell came in and got stuck. Gleeson and Pringle took the air out of the innings with dots and wickets. Shankar tried to take his side home single-handedly, he didn't get going properly either.

Dutt to Croes, OUT, Comeback win secured, by Aryan. Slows it down and gets a caught and bowled. Fullish outside off, Croes looks to leather it across the line. Bat turns inwards, ball goes slowly and lowly to the bowler's left

Dutt to Hollard, 1 bye, GAME OVER pretty much! Aryan sends a yorker that goes under Holldard's swing. Looked to go over mid-on, keeper half-stopped it

Dutt to Shankar, OUT, Taken this time, Shankar falls! That has to be the game! Neill again, runs in this time and dives forward to take a low catch at backward square leg. Aryan pumps his fist. Shortish ball at the stumps, Shankar effectively pulled short the ball from down to up

Dutt to Croes, no run, Wow, that's a gamble. Slowed length ball on middle, Croes went for the slog sweep. Edged it onto his trouser

Dutt to Shankar, 1 run, Is that four? Neill ran left from deep-backward square, he was slightly off-balance while catching the ball on the bounce. Toook it around chest height and continued running. Waited a second before running a step or two further and throwing the ball to his team-mate. He's awfully close, but did not touch the cushions as per the umpire. THREE SAVED!

13 to defend. Who will bowl? De Leede, who fielded the last ball, smiling. Aryan Dutt has the ball. He bowled the second over
