Eliminator.. ..TKR vs Royals 7pm...TKR will bat first

..

9:57pm: Trinbago Knight Riders will go through if the light towers are not fixed because of their better standing on the points table. 10:52pm is the cut-off time for a five-over contest

Glorious uncertainties...

...11 minutes to go and counting...

10:45pm: We are very close to what would be a sad end to a crucial affair and Barbados Royals will be hard done by this unforeseen circumstance. It's bizarre and unheard of in cricket; a rare instance where a floodlight issue denies a team a proper chance. This will take a toll on the tournament's reputation and will not be an easy pill to swallow for all the stakeholders involved. We're under 10 minutes away from the cut-off time and it looks like Trinbago Knight Riders are on their way to getting another chance to make it to the final

...10: 52 cut off time....

Its 10:50 and counting...

What a shame... they can't agree to continue tomorrow or restart the match?

...10:51 pm...and counting....

One minute to go...

....its 10:52 pm...

....Match centre
Ground time: 22:53

It is easier to beat Bim on the field of play than all this frustration.

Hold your horses! It looks like the tower has been given a new lease of life and is slowly shining bright like a diamond. The efforts of the chief electrician have seemingly reaped rewards


"The staff at the ground are working on fixing the broken light tower. We can start a 5 over game at 11:01. If it goes past that time TKR advance to Qualifier 2 as they finished higher in the league stage." reads a tweet from CPL official account

drama

A lousy shortish delivery on the pads and Q de Kock says thank you very much, tugs it nonchalantly off his pads away from deep square for a four

Jordan to Powell, OUT
Miscues the skier; shortish and nipping away touch from off, Powell can't get on top of the bounce and tries to lift it up and over midwicket, gets a top-edge that flies high into the night sky and Jordan tracks the ball from the bat, into the air and then into his safe hands. Good catch in a tricky situation but hold on! Has he overstepped?Third umpire is checking from different angles and looks like he missed getting some part of the shoe, the margin is in millimeters. Whoa, that will hurt TKR! It's a no-ball! The drama continues! Fist-bump between batters as they look to refocus and try again. Jordan needs to move past this unforced error

Narine to Miller, SIX runs
Over the wicket, erred in his length, fuller and deviates a touch, he takes a good look, allows it to come closer and then BANG, slog-sweeps it several rows back over long-on. It's a 106 meters monster hit! Excellent timing and placement, Miller at his best!
