Jimbo needs a rest.
For the Falcons, this defeat is less about one bad night and more about the need to strengthen their batting beyond the top three if they want to remain serious title contenders.
This was Knight Riders’ most complete performance all season, bowlers dominated, batsmen finished. Statement win.
