That's it from this game then! CPL action continues on the 21st of this month. It is a clash between the Royals and the Kings. That game begins at 1930 IST (0200 GMT). Till then, take care and goodbye.
Imran Tahir says they did not adjust that well with the conditions and they needed to take more responsibility which they did today. Credits Hetmyer and Shepherd for the way they played. States he had a feeling they'll defend this. Ends by thanking the support from the crowd.
Andre Fletcher says it was all about personal performances. Mentions they began well with the ball but the dropped chances cost them. States it was a gettable score but it's not easy on this wicket. Credits the way Nedd and Shamsi bowled. Admits they were let down by the batters and in the field.
Shimron Hetmyer, PLAYER OF THE MATCH, says he tried to brave in this game with the bat. Adds he just wants to enjoy his batting and he's very pleased with his batting performance.
Earlier in the match, the final over evenly poised the game, allowing GAW to post a competitive score on a challenging wicket, largely thanks to the efforts of Hetmyer and Shepherd. No other batsman managed to score more than 20 runs. On the other hand, St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots delivered an impressive bowling performance overall, with Nedd and Shamsi standing out, alongside strong contributions from Nortje and Mayers. However, Drakes and John struggled with their economy, conceding more runs than desired.
The spinners were excellent for the hosts. Especially the likes of Moeen and Motie. However, the likes of Tahir and Sinclair were a little expensive. Shamar Joseph though turned the game into their side with is death bowling and brilliant fielding! His run out of Rilee and wickets towards the end helped his side get over the line.
A strong bowling effort from Guyana and they are back to winning ways. On the other hand, it is 8 in a row for St Kitts and Nevis Patriots. Yet again this is game they would believe they should have won. Chasing a small total, they were very cautious at the start and also lost a few wickets which put them under pressure. Lewis though held fort at one end but kept losing partners at the other. Still, till the time he was out, his side were favourites. But once he fell, the lower order failed to contribute a lot and it is a big win for the hosts.

A loud appeal and the finger is raised! Is that the end of the game? John reviews! It is! OUT! On middle. John walks across and looks to pull but misses. He gets hit on the pad. A loud shout and the finger is raised.

The googly, on the pads. Shamsi looks to flick. It hits the pad and rolls on the leg side. A leg bye taken.
OUT! Taken! Nedd falls. Tahir had another one. Tossed up around off. Nedd looks to go over long on. It goes off the toe end. Paul from mid-wicket, runs back and takes it brilliantly.
