TKR win for their ‘DJ’
The Trinidad leg of the Dwayne Bravo CPL farewell show began in the perfect way – thanks to Andre Russell and Tim David last night.Back-to-back sixes off Keemo Paul- one massive straight hit and another helped over backward square - pulled out a hard-fought five-wicket win for the Trinbago Knight Riders over the Guyana Amazon Warriors at the Queen’s Park Oval.The players all wore his No.47 shirt. And after captain Kieron Pollard won the toss and decided to field first, they gave their veteran a guard of honour right next to a banner that read: “Champion DJ Bravo.”
In the end it took the combination of an early life for Russell and his sixth wicket stand of 60 off 26 balls with David to pull off the victory after TKR had laboured to 89 for five at the end of the 15th over when Nicholas Pooran (19, 17 balls) missed a low Paul full toss and was given out lbw after a review by the Warriors.
Summarised scores:
Amazon Warriors 148-7, 20 overs (Romario Shepherd 50 n.o., Dwaine Pretorius 21 n.o.; Waqar Salamkheil 2/19, Sunil Narine 2/24)
vs TKR 149-5, 19.2 overs (Andre Russell 36 n.o., Tim David 31 n.o. Shaqkere Parris 29; Nathan Sowter 2/37).
---TKR won by five wickets.
