With just one run needed off the final ball, Glenn Phillips hit a low full toss from Andre Russell straight to Jason Holder at mid on.
Positioned perfectly, Holder spilled the catch and then failed to grab the rebound despite a diving effort. Phillips ran through for the single as Washington celebrated a five wicket win. Russell lay on the pitch in disbelief, knowing how close he had come to forcing a Super Over.
Phillips stayed unbeaten on 33 off 23 balls, while Obus Pienaar finished with 23 off 16. Their efforts came after earlier contributions from Mitchell Owen, who smashed 43 off 16, Andries Gous with 31 off 27, and captain Glenn Maxwell, who hit 42 off 23 to keep the chase on track. Washington reached 214 with exactly one ball to spare, chasing a big total set by the Knight Riders.

Sherfane Rutherford added a quick 20 off 11, and Russell finished with 30 not out off 13 to help the team post 213 for 4 in their 20 overs.
