Knight Riders vs Falcons, Eliminator [ 8.00 pm ]

Poo gawn LBW....review ime

11.4
Cornwall to Pooran, no run, a loud shout for LBW, Pooran has been given OUT and he reviews after a chat with his partner - was very full and he played all around it, struck in front of middle and it's hit the back-leg as well. Looks bad for Pooran - no bat and UltraEdge confirms it, onto ball-tracking: It's spinning down leg and Pooran survives once again - spinning too much and the drift was taking it down leg, a much calmer looking Pooran suirvives as the umpire changes the call.

Cornwall to Pooran, SIX, hammered, very full and wide of off - lets Pooran free his arms and he then carves it high over long-off, brings up another CPL fifty, his 16th

Cornwall to Pooran, SIX, drilled, they're taking this game away from the Falcons reach - tossed up well outside off, Pooran makes most of his reach and then powerfully swats the drive over long-off, brings up the 100-run stand

Match Over

The Trinbago Knight Riders are through to Qualifier 2! Commiserations to the Antigua and Barbuda Falcons, whose tournament journey comes to an end. Short-pitched ball darted on the stumps, hangs back and plays the swivel pull shot, sends it flying high over the square leg fences.

17.3
Jayden Seales to Pooran, SIX, TKR are into QF 2, Falcons have been eliminated a 200th CPL six for Pooran as he seals things off tonight at the Providence, was the attempted slower short ball, but it came up harmlessly and Pooran ruthlessly despatches the pull over deep mid-wicket for another maximum

Player of the Match, Nicholas Pooran

11:32 pm Alex Hales survived an early run-out scare in the first over, and after that, both openers went all guns blazing, striking boundaries in the Powerplay. Cornwall was introduced in the fourth over and struck straightaway, picking up the wicket of Munro. Hales continued the power-hitting, striking three sixes off Cornwall's sixth over to finish the Powerplay on a high note. Hales and Nicholas Pooran then complemented each other, building a massive 143-run partnership. After 10 overs, the Knight Riders were cruising towards the target. The Falcons' bowlers never seemed to worry the batters, as they kept on bludgeoning the ball all around the ground. There were a few close calls, and Pooran won two reviews, but there were also a lot of heated exchanges with the umpire. At one point, DJ Bravo had to intervene and drag Pooran away during the Timeout. But all's well that ends well for the TKR, as they went on to win the game. Hales remained unbeaten on 54 runs off 40 balls, but it was Pooran who was more destructive, scoring 90 runs off 53 balls, including 8 sixes. Amidst all the tension, the match ends with a friendly handshake and a pat on the shoulder between umpire Ryan Banwarie and Nicholas Pooran.
