Barbados Royals vs Trinbago Knight Riders, 13th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

The Knight Riders are in the ascendancy - two wins in a row, the NRR has significantly improved with this win and they move to the third spot. On the other hand, it was a forgettable outing for Barbados. They have three more game here at their home ground and they'll be eager to bounce back. On that note, it's time to bring the curtains down on this encounter. Until next time, it's goodbye from all of us down here...

Kieron Pollard: When we don't deliver performances, a lot of people are disappointed and there's a lot of headlines going around. I must commend the guys the way we fought back in the last couple of games. Martin (Guptill) was looking for some runs, struggling a bit. As a team, we are very happy that he was able to score a hundred this innings. The situation - it's something you have to respect. When I came in, Qais was bowling pretty well, he was spinning the ball from middle and leg, I just restrained myself. Guptill kept taking the pressure off. It was a matter of me rotating the strike. When planning comes together, you feel happy. We decided to drop two of our main fast bowlers to play Waqar (Salamkheil). He repaid the faith. I understand how the pitch plays here. Being able to spin the ball both ways is always going to be a trump card for us in addition to Sunil Narine and Akeal Hosein. Thanks to the fans who travel and support Trinbago Knight Riders. They are our 12th man. For us it's about enjoyment and entertaining.

Rovman Powell: It wasn't up to par, we have played three games and all three games we had to chase 190+. We need to go to better bowling plans. It just didn't go according?to plan, those things do happen. There was a lot of moisture?around, so it was a good decision to bowl. Credit to Martin Guptill and Pollard and TKR, they batted pretty well on a good wicket. The senior players have to stand up and score runs. The youngsters will contribute, but the senior guys will?have to score the 70s and 80s. All I ask of the boys is to improve. 10-15% improvement tomorrow and that is good. The support today from the Bajans was fantastic, hopefully that continues for the rest of the games.

Martin Guptill | Player of the Match: It was nice to spend some time out in the middle. Mark (Deyal) played some fantastic shots to get us off to a good start. We know we have a dangerous batting line-up. Today, we got it right. Polly had a slow start, he's impossible to stop when he gets going. We kept putting the pressure. That's going to help our run-rate.

21:56 Local Time, 01:56 GMT, 07:26 IST: Dominant performance from TKR! Inserted to bat, they posted 194, thanks to Guptill's century along with handy knocks from Pollard and Deyal. With the ball, it was Andre Russell who set the tone for the visitors. He nipped out both the Barbados openers in the very first over. Removed Athanaze in his following over and almost bounced out Holder the very next ball. Pollard attacked with spin after the third over and Barbados capitulated. Narine trapped Evans lbw in his opening over to reduce the hosts to 20/4. Rovman Powell came out with a positive intent but he didn't last long as he holed out to long-off with debutant Waqar Salamkheil striking with his very first ball. While Akeal Hosein picked a couple of wickets, debutant Salamkheil finished with his best T20 bowling figures - 4/14. Barbados' loss is the heaviest defeat in terms of margin of runs in CPL history. Stick around for the presentations...
