Commentary

That was an authoritative performance from the Trinbago Knight Riders as they brushed aside the Barbados Royals by 42 runs. Powered by a Nicky P special, TKR got back to winning ways and has climbed to the 2nd spot in the points table. Barbados Royals have a lot to ponder on. Both teams will get a couple of days off which might help them recover in time for the business end of the tournament. We have lots of cricketing action lined up throughout the day. Do not forget to tune in but for now, this is myself (Arya Sekhar Chakraborty) bidding a goodbye. Ta-ta!

Kieron Pollard (Trinbago Knight Riders captain): It was a great all-round effort. Overall good team performance, much better than last night. It's a matter of laying the foundation for the guys coming in. You know scoring all those runs in the last 5 overs gave us the momentum. Pooran batted really well. It was a different Nicholas when he came into bat. We would love that to happen on a consistent basis. He is a chinaman bowler (on Waqar Salamkheil), the Caribbean players are sometimes susceptible to spin bowling. We have been hearing a lot of things and taking it as a motivation. Again nothing different. It has been two hard day's travel. The guys will go back to recovery mode. The guys who haven't played might have a small session. This is the business end and this is where you start to get niggles. It will be important for us to keep the players fresh and ready.

Rovman Powell (Barbados Royals captain): I think 210 was always going to be a difficult chase. We would have backed ourselves to chase 185-190 but we ended up conceding 15-20 runs extra. They played a very good game. Kyle Mayers seems to be in form. Young Qais Ahmad bowled well but we still have some work to do

Nicholas Pooran (Player of the Match): I am happy that I could perform again. A couple of low scores doesn't mean I am out of form. I was dismissed cheaply in the last two games. Thanks to Polly. It's all about responsibility. We bat together really well. There was a miscommunication but that happens in cricket. Everything happens for a reason and it worked for us. It's consistency both on and off the field. I knew I wanted to perform in front of my home crowd. It was all about throwing the ego away and analysing what is working for you. I am happy that I could contribute to the team's win today.

Trinbago Knight Riders won by 42 runs

Nicholas Pooran 102*(53) | Waqar Salamkheil 2/18(4)
Kyle Mayers 70(45) | Jason Holder 2/39(4)

The mammoth score of 208 proved to be more than enough in the end as the Trinbago Knight Riders returned to winning ways by defeating the Barbados Royals by 42 runs to give themselves a realistic chance of going through to the playoffs. The win has also given him the opportunity to finish in the top two. Once Rakheem Cornwall was dismissed early by Akeal Hosein, it was always going to be an uphill task for the Royals.

Kyle Mayers took his time initially but gained confidence as he spent more time in the middle. Laurie Evans shared a good stand with Mayers but the duo couldn't quite score at the rate they required at that stage as the Royals were well behind the eight ball. Waqar Salamkheil was the star performer with the ball, bagging two crucial wickets and breaking the backbone of the Royals.

There were some partnerships in the middle but it didn't look too good for them. Mayers went on to score 70 off 45 deliveries which included 7 fours and 4 sixes. However it wasn't enough to take his side close to the finish line. Akeal Hosein and Salamkheil were the pick of the bowlers for TKR, bagging a couple each.

0 /32

19.6 Jayden Seales to Roelof van der Merwe, a low full toss around the off-stump, Van der Merwe works it away down the ground, towards the long-on and it's the TKR who win by 42 runs.

19.5 Jayden Seales to Roelof van der Merwe, FOUR! Identical shot from Van der Merwe. Not the ideal line and length from Seales. Again Roelof makes a hint of space towards the on side, more of a guide this time, bisects the two fielders and off to the fence.

19.4 Jayden Seales to Roelof van der Merwe, FOUR! Too wide and too short, third man was inside the circle and it was always asking for trouble. Outside off and Van der Merwe flays it away over the backward point fielder.

19.3 Jayden Seales to Qais Ahmad, that was a full toss from Seales. Qais loses his shape as he splices that away towards the mid-off region for a single.

19.2 Jayden Seales to Qais Ahmad, that went up a mile but Qais gets away with that. Was a fuller-length delivery around the middle stump channel, sliced away down the ground, Qais didn't get the connection but ends up coming back for a brace.

19.1 Jayden Seales to Qais Ahmad, fuller-length delivery outside off, Qais clears his front leg and tries to launch it over the cover region, Qais gets beaten all ends up.

Jayden Seales [2-0-20-0] is back into the attack.

18.6 Akeal Hosein to Qais Ahmad, Qais moves across the off-stump and swings at that length delivery viciously. Only manages to get that away towards the mid-on region for a single.

Qais Ahmad, RHB is the new man in.

18.5 Akeal Hosein to Jason Holder, WICKET! Holder trying to advance misses that completely. Ran past that one and a simple bit of work for Lorcan Tucker behind the stumps. That was a slowish length delivery outside off, Holder comes down the track and tries to fetch that. A nothing shot in the end as TKR nearing a convincing victory.

18.4 Akeal Hosein to Roelof van der Merwe, chops away the length delivery a shade outside off towards the extra cover region and has to be content with a single.

18.3 Akeal Hosein to Jason Holder, flatter trajectory delivery a shade outside off, clubbed away towards the long-off fielder for a single.

18.3 Akeal Hosein to Jason Holder, that was a tossed up delivery well wide outside off, turns away from Holder and has been called a wide.
