TKR win and jump to top of the table now

11:58 pm The Trinbago Knight Riders completed another brilliant and clinical run chase, maintaining their winning streak and moving to the top of the table. The Barbados Royals' wait for their first win continues. Munro went berserk in the Powerplay, hitting boundaries all around the field. The Royals' bowlers struggled to maintain their line and length as the dew increased, making the ball very difficult to grip. Munro was dropped by Warrican on 27, a dropped catch that proved very costly. He and Hales scored 56 runs in the Powerplay alone, setting a dominant foundation. The chase had a brief wobble when the Knight Riders lost both Hales and Carty in the space of three deliveries. However, Pooran immediately took the game away from the Royals, hitting three consecutive sixes off Rovman Powell's over. The 93-run partnership between Munro and Pooran completely dominated the middle overs. Munro eventually departed after scoring 67 runs off 44 balls, but Pooran stayed unbeaten with a fantastic 65 runs off 40 deliveries. Kieron Pollard also played a cameo of 19 runs off 9 balls, which took him to an incredible milestone: 14,000 T20 runs, making him just the second player ever to reach that mark. All the Royals' bowlers were expensive, with only Simmonds and Bosch managing to be economical.

Player of the Match, Colin Munro

"[Thumb] It's all right. It was a bit of a carry-on, but it's like when you roll your ankle, you think it's worse than it is. It's not too bad at the moment. This is a good team that gave me my first opportunity in franchise cricket. I wish I knew why I was so successful here because then I'd take that knowledge around the world. But I know that with the talent we have, whether I bat slowly or get off to a flyer, we've got the power to make up for it. It's not just about the top order; the whole team is doing a good job. We spoke about it because now, we are the hunted. We don't have that aura about us anymore like we did four or five years ago. All the teams now are very, very good. We used to be a little bit better on paper, but now all the teams are stacked, so we know tomorrow night is going to be another fantastic atmosphere playing against Guyana [Amazon Warriors]. It's always a great battle against those guys, and I'm looking forward to it."
