That's it from here, hope you enjoyed the coverage. Until next time, this is Pragadeesh and Rajarshi signing off
Imran Tahir (Guyana Amazon Warriors captain) - Again and again, I want to thank the fans for their support. It's a great feeling to get over the line in front of them. Look, the surfaces has been different. We have the luxury in the team to have more spinners and play according to the situation. Having a different combination makes my job easier. It's pleasing to get the win consistently. Look every game is a game to play for. Another opportunity for the guys and we are not going to take the last game for granted. We are up for the challenge
Darren Sammy (Saint Lucia Kings Head coach) -. (On Faf du Plessis) Just a bit of cramps and hopefully it won't affect his participation in the tournament. We were flat and when you give good players chances they will hurt you. We took a long time to adjust to the surface. That was important. Halfway, me and Faf spoke it didn't make sense to chase this score, so we wanted to take this close. We scored 60 runs in the last five overs. Guyana were the better but I am happy with the way we fought until the end. We didn't score 100 at home against this team and got defeated again, so we needed to be on our toes in the playoffs
Shimron Hetmyer has been adjudged Player Of The Match! Here's what he has to say: Just the mindset, really (on what has changed). Just me trying to be as clear as possible and enjoying my game. We just took their bowlers really, we batted a lot together as well, when we're batting, just looking up and suggesting giving strike to the one who's more comfortable. It's been really nice playing at home, always nice to have familiar conditions. Always nice to have family here.
Guyana Amazon Warriors won by 35 runs
The Warriors put up a top-notch performance to outclass the Kings in this top-of-the-table clash. They head to the halfway mark with an upper hand but considering the Kings' stellar form, everyone expected a fight but they completely capitulated to the home side
Charles went after Motie in the first over but his stay lasted only for a short while as Pretorius removed him. Du Plessis made sure to end the powerplay on a high by playing attacking shots but once the field spread, the spinners dominated the proceedings
Imran Tahir was in the thick of things as he picked up two key wickets and also was excellent on the field, while his spin colleagues complimented him well. Moeen and Motie took two wickets each respectively. Faf fought hard and brought up his half-century but his knock only helped the Kings to reduce the deficit of the defeat. He struggled with cramps but still took on Sinclair to hammer 27 runs in the final over. A commanding victory by the Warriors to take the top spot and end Kings' five match winning streak.

19.6 Junior Sinclair to Faf du Plessis, ENDS THE MATCH WITH A SIX! The Saint Lucia Kings fall short by 35 runs, but the captain ensures their Net Run Rate doesn't take a bad hit! Tossed up outside off stump, du Plessis gets under it, throws his hands at it and clears the boundary behind the bowler's head
19.5 Junior Sinclair to Faf du Plessis, SIX! On a shortish length around middle and off, du Plessis stays deep and heaves this into the stands at mid wicket
19.4 Junior Sinclair to Alzarri Joseph, length outside off, Joseph looks to pump this as well, mistimes it towards long off. Just one
19.3 Junior Sinclair to Alzarri Joseph, ONTO THE HOARDINGS! Floated up around off stump, Joseph stands firm, gives it a thump, and the ball flies over the bowler's head
19.2 Junior Sinclair to Faf du Plessis, on a length outside off, du Plessis makes room and cuts this towards long off. Hobbles across to the other end
19.2 Junior Sinclair to Faf du Plessis, wide, on a length, speared well past the tramline
The physio is out in the middle again to address Faf's situation as he goes down after playing the shot!
19.1 Junior Sinclair to Faf du Plessis, SMASHED OUT OF SIGHT! Faf goes down as well! Tossed up outside off stump, turns back in. Faf made room, had a swipe across the line, and absolutely nailed this into the stands at mid wicket!
Junior Sinclair [1-0-4-0] to bowl the final over
Faf is limping after every delivery and this looks like a big concern for the Kings. This match is already done and dusted, so there is no point in hanging around but he keeps fighting
