Trinbago Knight Riders won by 3 wkts

The Trinbago Knight Riders have won their fifth CPL title! This victory not only ends their five-year trophy drought but is also their first title won outside of Trinidad. They took the hard road, winning the Eliminator and Qualifier 2, before dominating the Grand Final to lift the trophy. What a time to find their A-game! The players run into the ground to celebrate! Akeal Hosein leaps in joy into the arms of Kieron Pollard, and the team shares a long, warm hug. The pyrotechnics are out, and the celebrations are in full swing! Flighted low full toss on the pads, shuffles across early and swept away over short fine leg, one bounce and onto the ropes.

Sunil Narine: "I think this is history. We have struggled outside of Trinidad, but hopefully, we can stop that now. This win gives us the momentum and the belief that anything is possible. I'm just trying to do whatever the team requires, and I'm thankful to God that it happened today, and we can lift the trophy again. I think we were just playing positive cricket. We won two games playing very good cricket, and we had a lot of confidence. We were just taking that confidence into the game and bowling first, restricting them to that total. [A Message to the Fans] Thanks for all the support. We know we struggled for the last four or five years, but we will continue, and we will start dominating now. We are five-time champions, the Trinbago Knight Riders."


12:15 pm A wayward over from Shepherd in the second over, which conceded 22 runs, was followed by some early blood drawn by Pretorius, who picked up the wicket of Munro. Pretorius struck again, this time getting the big wicket of Nicholas Pooran, forcing him to get caught out straight to mid-off inside the circle. After the Powerplay, the Knight Riders were going strong with 45 runs, but Hope missed a stumping chance of Bravo in the seventh over. Tahir struck in his first over, trapping Bravo in front of the stumps. Narine was promoted up the order, but his stay was short as he departed after trying to hit Shamar Joseph over the circle. Pollard hit three sixes off Tahir's over and seemingly sealed the game there. But more twists awaited! Tahir struck back-to-back and picked up the wickets of Pollard and Andre Russell. More drama followed as Joseph picked up the wicket of the set batter Alex Hales in the very next over. But in the end, the lower order of the TKR took them over the line in a low-scoring thriller. Maybe things would have been different for the Warriors if they had scored a few more runs. Tahir picked up three wickets and Joseph got two, but in the end, the Knight Riders got over the line with a few boundaries. Lots of interviews and post-match stuff coming up, don't go anywhere!

Kieron Pollard: "[On the win] It means a lot. But one thing I'll say is that the booing in the three countries in the Caribbean where we have played is a bit much. We are still laughing and playing cricket in the West Indies. You have a guy who has represented the entire Caribbean over a period of time, putting them on the map in a format, but yet still, he is not appreciated. I'm not bitter, but I feel sorry, not for myself. I've played cricket; that's what I know. God has given me a talent. I've represented my family and my country. I do it because I love the game. This means a lot. We are five-time champions, and I'm still going around the Caribbean at 38 years old. Again, it's the love for cricket. As a player, I've now gone past him [Dwayne Bravo] as a coach, he has gotten a second title, but I've gone past him now, so he has to look up to me [laughter]."

Well played TKR.

I saw some serious buckling down when it mattered most for the past few games.

That the 12th man poured it on and you still eeeked out that win in the end…

Character of the TEAM pulled this one out and that surpassed all of the earned daggers you get.

Respect
