Antigua and Barbuda Falcons vs St Kitts and Nevis Patriots, 1st Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

That's it for game 1 of the CPL. We will be back with more action soon. Till then enjoy your day. See you soon. Bye.

Andre Fletcher | SKNP captain: Happy that we won this game but at the same time will say we had soft dismissals. We took the game away from them in phases and brought them back in, that's something we have to look at. In the powerplay anything can happen, the game actually starts after the powerplay. That's why brought in Shamsi and they (spinners) pegged them back. I want us to be positive and at the same time we have to be smart, enjoy each other's success and once we do that, we have the personnel to win.

Chris Green | ABF captain: We were 10-15 short on a good surface. We had a great start with the bat in the powerplay but we scored just 14 runs off the next four overs, really proud of the way we fought in the backend. Here we had to use the dimensions and the breeze, Mayers batted really deep for them and he is a good player and we were way behind and we nearly pulled a rabbit out of the hat. [on Jewel Andrew] He is 17 years old and he is a local icon, really impressed, to bat the way with that confidence and swagger it is awesome to see. He will only go from strength to strength. Shamar Springer has improved again from last season. Incredible in the field too.

Kyle Mayers | Player of the Match: It was nail-biting, the game was so close, we were really quiet and patient, hoping we get over the line. My mindset was simple, it was a good wicket, stay there as long as possible, if I stayed there we would win. Take advantage of the ends and the breeze but unfortunately I got out, I tried my best to finish it off in that over. I'm enjoying it, I'm good friends with Fletcher and there's a lot of Bajans here.

23:46 Local Time, 03:46 GMT, 09:16 IST: A fine game to begin CPL 2024 and SKNP win off the last ball. The top three of SKNP got starts but did not kick on as Springer threatened to win the game on his own. He finished with a four-fer and took a fine catch on the boundary. But SKNP held their nerve at the death after Drakes' wicket in the final over. It looked to be heading towards ABF's way but Nortje helped by a couple of wides from Primus in that final over got his side over the line. Stay tuned for the presentation...
