Cricket commentary | Trinbago Knight Riders vs Antigua and Barbuda Falcons, 24th Match, Caribbean Premier League 2026

Trinbago Knight Riders have won the toss and have opted to field

 Nicholas Pooran: [On the decision] We're going to bowl first. Obviously, the same reasons, on the night, it gets a bit dewy here in the later stages of the game, so we're trying to restrict Antigua Falcons as much as we can[On the changes to the XI] We have two changes. Terrance Hinds is back and Kieron Pollard is back. The two guys missing are Jyd Goolie and one other guy. But we're just happy to have Terrance and Polly back in the lineup.

Moeen Ali: [On the changes to the team] Unfortunately, Alzarri misses out. We're just going to go with the extra spin. Fabian obviously stays in the side and big Rahkeem comes in. [On whether the change is tactical] It's tactical, purely tactical. Alzarri's actually been brilliant for us, but we feel on this wicket we need the extra spin, as the dew hopefully won't be coming in too much now.

Pitch Report | Darren Ganga: [On the pitch and boundaries] The boundary to my left is the shorter of the two square boundaries at 58 metres, compared to 64, while down the ground it's 74 metres. This is pitch number five, which has been used for the third time during this leg, along with pitch number four. It doesn't look too dissimilar. It's bereft of grass, with very little grass and root structure. It looks very hard, light brown and dry.

Ok Narps....eh eh...Pouty back..

Licks like peas tonight...winning streak starts...😂

 A lot of teams play their best cricket against Trinbago, and that's fine. It's one of the reasons why Trinbago is the most successful team in this tournament. We're really happy that all the local players and even international players, when they play against us, they play their best game. We're really happy to see that in the CPL and happy for those players that they can raise their level of intensity when they play against a team such as TKR.

And here i am thinking that all teams go out there to play their best everytime. This dude talks too much on and off the field ....

That's funny resuscitating TKR...😂

Sunil Narine, right-arm off break, comes into the attack

2.1

Sunil Narine to Evin Lewis, no run

2.4

Sunil Narine to Evin Lewis, FOUR, missed opportunity. Lewis lofts off the toe end and Terrance Hinds made a meal of it at long-on. Did not commit fully on the dive to his left and ended up spilling it onto the ground at the last moment...
