Eventually, that was not good enough for the Kings, who went over the line with 11 balls to spare. Roston Chase, who picked up a crucial wicket and then scored 39* off 22 balls, was the player of the match. ‘Think 10 or 15 years they have been waiting’"Happy for the guys, they have been here (Sammy and Co.) for a long time. Think 10 or 15 years they have been waiting for the trophy to come home. Very happy with the bowling effort. At the toss I wasn't quite sure what to do and I felt like when they posted 138, when we walked off we were positive. I think in both the innings, last 2-3 overs really made the difference," Faf said after the win.
