Antigua and Barbuda Falcons vs Trinbago Knight Riders..

Another over-rate penalty for the Falcons. They can now have just three fielders outside the ring. 22 needed off 12. Wind blowing towards the right-hander's leg side


Springer to Carty, OUT
edged and taken! Springer does the trick, and Carty bites the dust!

Keacy Carty c †Billings b Springer 34 (22b 0x4 4x6) SR: 154.54

17 off 7. The Knight Riders need a boundary, right about now...

Springer to bowl the penultimate over of the day! A wide ball Carty goes ! Missed out but he did not have to chase that extra wide delivery. Moved to the offside and still had to reach for it.

Clear plan here to bowl wide!

That is a key wicket for Springer!

Can ABF get their first win???

14 off 6. Primus to bowl. Hosein on strike

Not Primus ....

Primus to Hosein, FOUR runs
boundary off the first ball! Shortish outside off. Hosein picks the length early, walks across his stumps and mauls it over mid wicket!


14 off 6. Primus to bowl. Hosein on strike. And to add to the drama, the red card has come out. Amir is leaving the field, and the Falcons will have only ten players on the field for the final over

14 runs in 6 balls. Primus to bowl the final over.


Oh and a red card!!! What ? ABF lose a player and Amir has to go!

TKR...9 runs ...4 balls

Falcons has had 2 final ball finishes could this be the 3rd?

Bowleeddddddd in!!!!

Yorkers Primus.

Primus to Hinds, OUT
middle stump out of the ground, and Primus rises for the Falcons!

Terrance Hinds b Primus 4 (4b 0x4 0x6) SR: 100

Hinds....clatax

This CPL is shaping up to be the best. Every match had something interesting happening.

Primus to Hosein, 1 run
hard length outside off. Hosein moves across his stumps and splices it into the mid wicket region. Hosein always seems second-best to complete the second run but there could be a bit of drama with Billings fumbling his collection. Has he done enough to effect the run out?

I can feel it coming in the air tonight....7 off 1 ball....

Congratulations FALCONS.

phew!!

Night Sliders?

10:43pm Phew. What a game of cricket that was. It ebbed and flowed. It twisted and turned. And it was perhaps fitting that Primus, who huffed and puffed with the bat and contributed to a major middle-overs slowdown, stood tall with the ball, restricting the Knight Riders and getting the job done for the home side. Prior to that, Springer had done his job, especially removing Carty in the previous over. Allen was also magnificent through the middle and it was arguably his spell that sowed the seeds of success for the Falcons.


The Knight Riders will be disappointed. The total seemed within reach but they just could not kick on when it mattered. They kept losing wickets at crucial moments and despite Carty and Pollard putting together a decent partnership to take them within touching distance, they could not get over the line.

Yes slide right down to Earth!

Fabian Allen, Player of the Match: We were searching for that win and grateful we got it tonight. (On him batting higher up) Whatever the team requires, I will bat there. (On the catch to dismiss Pooran) When you take catches of one of the best players, you have to celebrate and I am grateful (I could take it). I just wanted to bowl in the right areas and got the results. We were searching for 180 but 170-odd is good on this wicket, we defended well. (On the crowd) Grateful for the crowd, they supported us right through.
