Ends by thanking the crowd for the support.
Brandon King says their bowlers were excellent today. Adds Kelvin Pitman had a brilliant game, he was a trump card. Reckons it was a decent wicket to chase on but they have to address their batting issue and hopes it clicks in the next match.

...Presentation next...
Ali Khan has experience at his side, Dwayne Bravo from the dugout, Kieron Pollard, Andre Russell and others by his side. Trinbago Knight Riders might not be happy with their batting but this bowling performance just shows that Trinbago Knight Riders are the team to beat this season. A proper entertainment from Trinbago Knight Riders and they will love this two points dearly.
Alex Hales and Brandon King walked out chasing a par total. It was all going smoothly for them. However, once King fell, suddenly Trinbago Knight Riders ignited the fire. Andre Russell got two in two and the match was balanced after that. Not for long though as Jamaica Tallawahs fell from 57 for 1 to 92 for 6. The game was not yet won by Trinbago Knight Riders as Chris Green then went bonkers and took the team till the last over, just before he got out. Wasim was their last hope, he took the strike throughout the last over but failed to hit the winning runs.
Breathe! What a match! A low-scoring thriller for everyone. Trinbago Knight Riders, the bowling team has arrived this time. They have made a match out of nothing. Who would have thought at the innings break? Some brilliant masterclass death bowling from Ali Khan has got his team over the line.

Leg bye! Ali Khan has done it. He keeps his nerves. What a match. A yorker on off. Wasim gets across to flick but misses and it goes off the pads for one. Trinbago Knight Riders WIN BY 2 RUNS.

FOUR! The game is still not over. A full toss on middle, Wasim heaves it over to deep mid-wicket. Andre Russell runs to his left but to no avail. FOUR. 4 runs needed now.

A yorker, angling on leg, Wasim tries to flick it away but misses and gets hit on the pads. A huge appeal for LBW mainly from Khan but nothing given. He asks to take it upstairs. No bat clearly. Ball Tracking shows it goes onto miss the stumps. The angle helped Wasim. Most importantly it is a dot ball for Trinbago Knight Riders.

OUT! GONE! Another twist in the game. Too full and outside off. Green tries to thump it over long off but toe ends and Nicholas Pooran dives forward and takes a spectatular catch. What a game this is turning out to be.
