Jamaica Tallawahs vs Barbados Royals, 14th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

So, after winning three in three to start off their CPL 2018 journey, Tallawahs have lost three in three. Their net run rate has taken a beating too as they are now positioned on the number 3 spot. We've still got 16 more matches before the playoffs start, so anything's possible. From Lauderhill, the action shifts to St Lucia where the Lucia Stars take on table toppers Guyana Amazon Warriors. So join us on Friday for the action of that mouth-watering contest. For now, this is Nikhil signing off on behalf of Sriram and Vinod. Ciao!

Steven Smith, Man of the Match: Jason thought I might have a chance to bowl tonight. I've sort of changed a few things (with respect to bowling), I'm trying to base my action like Shahid Afridi and try to bowl fast into the wicket, fortunately it worked tonight. Why not, the bloke's played for a long time. He's been a terrific leg-spinner. I thought we were 20 runs short and dropped a heap of catches. Normally, you don't win games when you drop so many catches. Perhaps they got their strategy wrong - Russell didn't bat. It's nice to see him back in the shed. Fortunately everything worked for us tonight. Back to Barbados and hopefully we can continue our winning run there.

Andre Russell: I think the batters disappointed us, the bowlers did what they were supposed to. They did a good job to restrict them to 150. We need to do something about the batting order. Second game in a row with me and Rovman sitting out. They get two points which is more important. We have a good bunch of guys. Colin de Grandomme comes in for Imad Wasim and we know what he can do. That'll bring depth to our batting. We shouldn't be afraid to get out. We got to be fearless but tonight we weren't fearless and that cost us the game.

Jason Holder: We didn't make it easy for ourselves with those dropped catches in the field. Credit should go to our bowlers. Riaz and Irfan, quality bowling upfront. Credit to Steve as well, his contributions in the field. I spoke to him about bowling yesterday, a few overs and he did it us for today.

22:11 Local Time, 02:11 GMT, 07:41 IST: What was that? This should have been a stroll in the park for Jamaica Tallawahs after the kind of start Johnson Charles gave them. But, it wasn't to be. Barbados' three left-arm quicks bowled exceptionally in the last 5 overs and restricted Ross Taylor and David Miller to eventually seal the game by 2 runs. Not to forget Steven Smith's contribution. Initially he played a match defining knock to revive the innings for Barbados and then he claimed two crucial wickets to stem the flow of runs. Russell didn't come out to bat as the Tridents dropped quite a few catches. Usually, catches win matches but today it were the dropped ones that did.

R Reifer to Miller, 1 run, Reifer, what a man! He'll get a sound sleep tonight. The Tallawahs? Well, they wouldn't. Definitely. This was a fine delivery, quick and a full one around middle and leg, Miller gets underneath but can only manage to get a single as his loft finds the fielder at long-on. Russell cannot believe it. He's disappointed as he sits down in the dug-out in agony. Tridents pull off a thriller, win the match by 2 runs

R Reifer to Miller, no run, what a ball! Reifer, you beauty. Bowls a perfect wide yorker and Miller is down on his knee as he tries his best to squeeze it out

A lot of changes in the field as Tallawahs need 4 off the last 2 balls. All eyes on Miller!

R Reifer to Ross Taylor, 1 run, a quick full length ball, fired outside off, Taylor squeezes it away to sweeper cover and takes a single

R Reifer to Ross Taylor, no run, wide yorker outside off, Taylor tries to squeeze it out but misses

R Reifer to Miller, 3 runs, that's unlucky. For the bowler. It was a full length ball right into the slot around middle, Miller slugged at it and got an inside edge. The ball went through the gap between square leg and short fine leg but the fielder was quick to go for the chase and flick it back

8 runs off 5 balls now! Can Killer Miller make Barbados pay for their mistake? That dropped catch? This is getting much closer than one would have anticipated

R Reifer to Ross Taylor, 1 run, slower and shorter around off, Taylor pulls it down to deep square leg for a single

Raymon Reifer [3.0-0-33-0] is back into the attack

Riaz to Ross Taylor, 1 run, a low full toss in the channel outside off, Taylor pushes it gently in front of cover

Riaz to Miller, 1 run, dropped! Four dropped catches. Used to this now, are the bowlers and the spectators. Miller got hurried by the short and quick one as he mistimed his pull towards deep mid-wicket. Shai Hope comes running in, tries to grab it but his butter fingers put it down. Russell is in next, so could you call this a tactical drop? Might prove to be a blessing in disguise. You never know

Riaz to Ross Taylor, 1 run, yorker in the channel outside off, Ross digs it out in front of cover

Riaz to Ross Taylor, 2 runs, flicks the length delivery in front of the fielder at deep mid-wicket and by the time he charges in, the batsmen manage to take two. Yes, there was a direct-hit at the bowler's end but Miller was well inside

Riaz to Ross Taylor, wide, pressure on Riaz. He conceded a boundary on the first ball and that has put him under pressure. Taylor was backing away and Riaz tried to fire in a wide yorker. Just misses the tramline and the umpire gives it a wide

Riaz to Miller, 1 run, yorker around off, Miller digs it out and manages to get a quick run
