Farooqi and Romario Shepherd got the bowling side going as they snuffed out Phil Salt and Alex Hales inside the PowerPlay, leaving the batting side down to 25/2 in the fourth over. In the middle-phase, Mendis stepped in to wreak havoc. Knight Riders went from 49/2 in the eighth over to 74/5 in 11th, with all three of Brandon McMullen, Liam Livingstone and Sherfane Rutherford falling to the Sri Lankan spinner.
