Antigua & Barbuda Falcons beat Trinbago Knight Riders by 6 runs
That's it from this game then! CPL action continues on Saturday. It is Barbados taking on the Patriots. That game begins at 0430 IST (2300 GMT). Till then, goodbye and take care!
Kieron Pollard says it was good game. Reckons they let themselves down. Adds the fielding cost them. He hopes to do well on Trinidad and is eager for the games coming up.
Chris Green says he's very proud of how his team played! Adds it has been tough for them. Mentions the bowlers were brilliant towards the end with just two and three outside the ring. He hopes this is the start.
Fabian Allen, PLAYER OF THE GAME, he says they were looking for that win. Adds the conditions suited their play. Mentions he'll do whatever the team wants him to do. He ends by thanking the crowd for their support.
Both though fell in quick succession and the lower order failed to take TKR over the line. The pacers, Shamar Springer, Mohammad Amir and Roshon Primus were brilliant and they have helped their side get a much needed win.
They then struck early with the ball but Parris and Andries Gous put up a good stand to turn the tide into their favor. Allen though was magical, he got three wickets quickly to put the visitors into the back foot again. Pollard and Keacy Carty revived hopes again as they got it down to their side needing around 10 per over in the last three.
What a win for Antigua & Barbuda Falcons! They entered this game without a win and have beaten the tournament favourites! What a spirited performance. It was a combined batting effort first courtesy which they posted a competitive score.

Dot to end! There it is. Antigua & Barbuda Falcons manage to win their first game and what a win it is! Short and around off. Waqar looks to play the paddle scoop but misses.
OUT! RUN OUT! Fortunate but the hosts won't care! On middle. Shorter. Akeal Hosein looks to pull. It goes off the splice towards mid-wicket. They take one. They have to go for the second and do so. The throw is to Billings. The ball pops out as he looks to dislodge the bails but to his luck, it falls on the bails and Akeal Hosein is short. 7 needed in one ball. Can we have a Super Over?

9 from 4 now! Brilliant from Roshon Primus! A yorker on off. Akeal Hosein looks to jam it out but gets an inside edge onto the pads. They take a quick run.

FOUR! Finds the fence. That is the perfect start. Just the 10 needed now. Short and on middle. This is pulled over the mid-wicket fielder and it goes to the fence. Have to feel for the bowler. He has one fielder short and has just the three fielders outside the ring. Really difficult. Tide shifts again.
