So, that is it from myself, Karthik Raj and my co-commentator, Aryasekhar Chakraborty. The CPL knock-out fever will continue tomorrow with Guyana Amazon Warriors taking on Saint Lucia Kings in the Qualifier 1. Meanwhile, do follow the Irani Cup and the first ODI between Ireland and SA today. Until next time, it is a warm good-bye from us.
Rovman Powell (Barbados Royals captain): It's a case of us getting lucky. We thought we were out of the competition. Once the light came back on, it was our game to lose. It was a case of the experienced guys taking on the powerplay. Credit has to be given to David who struck from ball one. It's a difficult one, unfortunate that lights went on. Those things happen. Unfortunate for TKR, nevertheless I will take that. If it's a bright light, it's our blowing department. We were wondering when our luck was going to change. Good that we got little bit tonight. Hopefully, come Friday, we can play another good game.
Kieron Pollard (Trinbago Knight Riders captain): (What the officials were saying when the floodlights failed) At that time, they were just speaking about the rules and the playing conditions in case the lights came back. When you look at the conditions, it was going to be dark and dangerous for the players. At the end of the day, the groundstaff did what had to be done to get a game of cricket. If rain had fell or anything, it would have been the same situation. These things tend to happen. Still proud of the guys. Since the start of the season, we had a lot of injuries. The professionalism of the guys and we saw the class of Nicky P (Nicholas Pooran) tonight. We can only control what is in our control. (On Pooran) Obviously proud. From where he has come from, the situations he had to overcome. He is an example for the youth coming up in West Indies cricket. He showed he is a cut above the rest.
What a way to advance forward as David Miller scores a 17-ball 50 to help Barbados Royals register a nine-wicket victory and make it to the Qualifier 2. TKR had a cruel twist in their luck as a floodlight failure meant their batting innings came to a close with five balls still left. The delay was long enough that only a five-over second innings could be played and Barbados Royals were provided with a target of 60. The magician Sunil Narine dismissed Quinton de Kock in the very first over and gave some hope to TKR fans. However, the South African Miller single-handedly won the game for Barbados. With 25 required off the last two overs, Miller smashed 17 runs off Chris Jordan's bowling to make the equation even easier. Eventually, he struck two more sixes to get the victory and his individual fifty as well
4.2 Terrance Hinds to David Miller, SIX! Barbados Royals win by 9 wickets and qualify through to Qualfier 2. Another brilliant shot from Miller to seal the deal for the Royals. Full-length delivery well outside off, the southpaw launches this inside out, sending it well over the extra cover fence.
4.1 Terrance Hinds to David Miller, SIX! Miller has smashed that for another monster. Pace on length delivery a shade outside off, absolutely smokes this from his presence. Swipe across the line which goes well over the midwicket fence. Just 2 needed now.
Terrence Hinds, right-arm medium-fast, is into the attack
A massive 17-run over and now the Barbados Royals are on the verge of qualifying for the Qualifier 2. They need eight runs off the final over.

3.6 Chris Jordan to David Miller, drills this full-length delivery a shade outside off, all along the carpet down towards the long-off fielder for a single. Miller will be on strike for the final over. 8 needed off 6 deliveries.
3.5 Chris Jordan to David Miller, SIX! This could be the blow which seals the deal for the Barbados Royals. Another attempted yorker and misses by quite a big margin. Ends up as a juicy full toss for Miller on the middle stump, goes swiping across the line sending it well beyond the widish long-on fence. Just 9 needed off 7 now.
3.4 Chris Jordan to David Miller, FOUR! Miller is playing a blinder here. On a fuller-length a shade outside off, was in the slot to be honest, Miller moves across off ever so slightly and hacks it across the line, more from the inside half of the bat but struck it wide from the fielder and fetches a boundary. 15 needed off 8.
3.3 Chris Jordan to David Miller, FOUR! CJ misses the yorker on this occasion and has been dispatched for a boundary. Ends up as a low full toss which has been sliced away with an angled bat, over the mid-off and the cover fielder and it skips away to the fence. 19 needed off 9 now.
3.2 Chris Jordan to David Miller, that's a beauty from Jordan, a wide yorker well inside the tramline of Miller which goes well under his bat. 23 needed from 10.
3.1 Chris Jordan to David Miller, good work by Tim David at deep midwicket. On a fullish-length around off, swiped across the line from the inside half of bat, comes back for a brace.
Superb bowling from Sunil Narine to concede just nine runs off the over even after giving away a maximum off the first ball. Barbados need 25 off 12 balls now.
