Trinbago Knight Riders vs Barbados Royals, 28th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

We are nearing the end of the league stages with a couple of more games left. The top four spots are already sealed. We have Guyana Amazon Warriors taking on Jamaica Tallawahs tomorrow. Do join us back for that clash. Until then, it's a goodbye from us here. Ta-ta!

Bravo: I told Jason at the start, whenever we lost the toss and we were put in to bat, we have always scored in excess of 170 or 180. We have a good bowling attack. We needed a game like this. Down to the wire, down to the last over. As Jason mentioned, the young players of his team gave a good fight. They gave us a challenge. It was a good game of cricket. I want to personally thank the crowd for their support. We don't flirt with the form. We want to play our best team. We never relax and have a goal to try and win as many games as possible. Every time we play against Guyana, it's a big game. It's going to be a hard game. They will have their home advantage, we are looking forward to it. He's (Darren Bravo) one of the best batsmen in the region. Irfan bowled well for them at the start, but Ramdin and Munro set the base for us. I am very impressive with Ali Khan, he's someone who I keep a close eye on. He's very skilful and I am happy that he's a leader of our bowling attack. Fawad is a world-class leg-spinner and leg-spinners are gold in this format.

Holder: I thought we really put in a good effort today. Credit to the Trinidad team, they played better cricket. Happy with the way we played our last two games. We put in a better performance with the bat. But let ourselves down in the field, dropped crucial chances. Pooran is a talented person. Chemar Holder has a lot of potential. We have a pretty good core. Lots of young talent and it's a matter of sticking with them.

Fawad Ahmed, Man of the Match: Pretty happy doing my job. I'm pretty pleased that I'm contributing to the team's win. I'm working extremely hard. It was extremely difficult, conditions today were really bad. I bowled scrambled seam - it was hard as the seam was very wet. Hopefully, we get better conditions in the semifinal. Sometimes, I give the loop. I just follow the process and try to bowl the best ball all the time - specially at the start and at the end of the over. If I'm hit for boundaries, I'll go defensive - depends on the situation. I'm enjoying my time. We are at the top of the table, everyone is performing. It's a great family. Hopefully, we continue this performance and finish strongly.

00:04 Local Time: Bravo has successfully defended 24. The party has begun in the crowd. TKR have consolidated their position at the top. At one stage it looked like Pooran and Holder were threatening to take the game away from the home side with a 50-run partnership for the fifth wicket. But TKR bowlers showed great skills and nerves towards the end to get the job done for their team. The Tridents slip to their seventh consecutive loss and will finish with the wooden spoon. Coach Robin Singh looks a disappointed man, sitting near the sidelines. Meanwhile, the TKR players are taking a victory lap. Thanking the crowd for their support.

Dwayne Bravo to Roston Chase, 1 run, toe-ended drive to mid-off, Narine shows some of his football skills to stop the ball. END OF THE GAME. TKR win by 9 runs and Bravo's dancing moves are out

Dwayne Bravo to Roston Chase, FOUR, top-edge and four. Bravo and TKR won't mind because the match is already sealed. Brisk bouncer at the torso, Chase pulls and gets it over the keeper

Dwayne Bravo to Shamar Springer, 1 run, just a single. The crowd going crazy. Shortish, rising from a length and Springer flat-bats it to long-on

Baz having a chat with Bravo, regarding the field placements.

Dwayne Bravo to Shamar Springer, no run, DOT. Bravo saw the batsman backing to leg, so follows him with a length ball and Springer misses the heave. Gets hit on the thigh pad and it rolls down the pitch. Tries to steal a leg-bye, in vain as Bravo swoops down towards the ball

Dwayne Bravo to Shamar Springer, 2 runs, peppers it short, Springer pulls it to deep mid-wicket, puts on the skates and hares back for the second

Dwayne Bravo to Shamar Springer, SIX, oh, well. This game ain't over folks. Hang on. First ball six, what's in store? Bravo misses his mark. Offers a low full toss and Springer dumps it over long-off

It's come down to this. 24 required off the final over. Unless something dramatic happens, TKR are winning this. Skipper Bravo takes the matter in his own hands.

Ali Khan to Shamar Springer, 1 run, misses the yorker by an inch or so, Springer drills it to sweeper cover. Can't risk a second because it's skipper Bravo out there. He has a bullet arm

Ali Khan to Shamar Springer, 2 runs, driven to the left of long-off and they will steal the second

Ali Khan to Shamar Springer, no run, and again. He's nailing the yorkers like a pro. Another play and miss from Springer. Two dots in a row

Ali Khan to Shamar Springer, no run, this is top-class from Ali. Lasers the wide yorker and asks Springer to fetch that. The batsman threw his bat horizontally but well out of reach

Ali Khan to Roston Chase, 1 run, shorter outside off, Chase drags it down to long-on

Shamar Springer, right handed bat, comes to the crease

Ali Khan to Holder, out Caught by K Pierre!! Wow. What a crucial strike for TKR. Ali has done the job and he is elated. Waving his hands in celebration. Quite Afridi-esque. Full outside off, Holder wanted to launch it out of the park. Gets it off the cue-end and skies it only as far as long-off. Pierre grabs it without any fuss.
