That's a wrap from this coverage, folks! Los Angeles Knight Riders start their campaign on a high note. We hope you enjoyed our ball-by-ball coverage of this enthralling contest. For now, this is Deepaks Prakash signing off on behalf of co-commentator Ayan Chatterjee and scorer/analyst Dushyant Madhukar Kumar. CHEERS!
Sunil Narine (Los Angeles Knight Riders Captain): "Yes, we played a good game. Struggled with the bat and then did well to get to the total and fight out there. Unmukt played well. You need to back your skills and temperament and the pitch will do the rest. The main thing was picking up early wickets. We kept things under check and Ali was great and we kept at it. I think those are there and stats and match ups and cricket is played on the day. One was left and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. That's the game sometimes. We came out under pressure and won the game today. That was important and hope to do well as this is a long season."
Faf du Plessis (Texas Super Kings Captain): "I think it's pretty clear - those two overs in the middle where we lost four wickets. We were going well until then. Even in the first innings, our bowling was good.
The boys batted well, but losing four wickets in a short span is never easy. I thought it was a decent score. Early on, there was movement and plenty of grass on the wicket. The new ball was crucial; if we could get through the first six overs without losing too many wickets, it would be good.
I mean, when you start a competition like this, you either start really well with good form and everything clicking on day one, or you identify some coaching points or learning opportunities to work on and improve as you continue to play."

Ali Khan: "I am cramping right now. Felt great and giving 100% for the team was great to see. Sunil knows my strength and gave me at the end. All bowled well at the powerplay and I took it from there. Fighting mentality and come back from adverse situations and that helped us. Yes, that's part of the game and get energy from the spice of the match. Sledging the batters helps me a lot. Well, I thought Deron had dropped it and then I saw him catching it. Great effort and proud of the boys."
Most Valuable Player: Ali Khan.
Longest Six of the Match: Devon Conway.
Play of the Day: Deron Davies.
Time for the presentations.
Spencer Johnson (LAKR): "I mean yes, it's a different role for me. Bowling upfront helps me a lot. It helps me with sideways movement and I enjoy bowling with the new ball. It's cool playing here and love playing in America. I had the best view of the catch of Davis at backward point and that was the game changer for us. Happy to get the win."
