Saint Lucia Kings vs Trinbago Knight Riders, 12th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

That's it from us today but the CPL action continues. Do join us tomorrow. Take care and goodbye.

Keiron Pollard: Was a very good game of cricket from both sides, they did well to get 180, we probably gave away 20 runs too many. My main thing is fielding, it’s unacceptable for the young guys and the senior guys as well. You can be outskilled with bat and ball but fielding is something we should really focus on. As times go along, we’ll try to get better. From an injury perspective, hopefully we can get some guys fit and back. Looking forward to the next game, being able to play cricket all around the Caribbean and enjoy is something I’m looking forward to now. Shoutout to the young man (Parris) particularly for the way he batted.

Faf du Plessis: Was a good game of cricket, quality powerplays. Would’ve taken 190. We went for 70 in the powerplay but unbelievable fightback to stay in the contest. We probably went for too many sixes. St. Kitts is probably the most challenging venue with dark skies and bright lights but I think we took some great catches. Did a lot of things right. Small margins against big teams is what it comes down to at the end of the day. Proud of the guys but we came up against a good team. We did a lot of good things for 60-70% of the game and that’s what you look at. When you play good cricket you can walk off the field with your chin up.

Kieron Pollard | Player or the Match: For someone who has played for the WI and for St. Lucia for a period of time, wanted to give something to the crowd. We got off to a great start, young Shaq (Parris) came in and showed his talent. He set the tempo. We lost some wickets in the middle but that’s why it’s a team sport and we came in and played our part later. If it’s my role to finish games, that’s what I’ll do. Now that I’ve played a lot of cricket around the world, it’s my opportunity to give opportunities and play around others till I call it quits.

22:40 Local Time, 02:40 GMT, 08:10 IST: Tough loss for the home side but they fought really well. They leaked runs in the powerplay but came back really well - led by Noor and Descarte. That phase even put the hosts on top with pressure mounting on the set Parris and a struggling Carty. But in came Kieron Pollard like a man possessed. Showed outstanding skill of not panicking under pressure and mainting clear though process. He took calculated assaults. Gave respect where needed, shouldered responsibility when the situation demanded. Akeal is a handy batter but with 27 needed off 12 he denied him strike in the penultimate over during which he smacked 4 sixes to stun the hosts. But it was Shaqkere Parris who set up a great base. He played some brilliant shots and made jaws drop during his fifty. Alzarri figured him out with some short stuff and eventually Noor prised him out. But Pollard was too stubborn to take his side home and once he did that he gestured to silence the crowd.
