That's all from this game. But the carnival continues as we have the Battle of the Saints coming up at St Lucia tomorrow. Do join us for that. Until next time, goodbye and stay safe..

Nicholas Pooran: It feels good to win especially against Antigua as they have got the better of us in the last few games. We didn't plan anything specific for them. Amir led the way for us, gave Ali Khan the new ball because was swinging.. Akeal and Narine bowled well in the middle and death overs. The discipline sticks out. We had to work really hard and CPL is a difficult tournament, all of us need to come together and do our jobs. Trinidad is amazing and we know whenever we come here they turn up, hope we continue to put smiles on their faces.

Imad Wasim: It (his quad injury) is alright. We will have a scan and see what it is, hopefully it is nothing major. We were 20-30 runs short to be honest as it was a good batting wicket. Losing wickets in clusters does not help, we lost 3 wickets in 4 balls at one stage. It is the later part of the tournament and we have to be up for it from ball one. Today Karim got out early and we lost few wickets in the powerplay which happened for the first time this season, we will sit and talk about it. It is just another game, but your approach to the game should be right and we need to turn up red hot for the next game.

Mohammad Amir | Player of the Match: The wicket was offering some help early on. When there is help I always try to swing the new ball. Everybody is doing it on social media so I thought I will also do it (referring to his aura farming kid celebration).

22:50 Local Time, 02:50 GMT, 08:20 IST: A well-constructed run-chase by Trinbago Knight Riders. The conditions for batting were not easy even though there was plenty of dew. Alex Hales struggled with timing right through his knock but he stayed out there and stitched an 87-run stand for the second wicket. Keacy Carty was the more fluent of the duo as he kept the scoreboard ticking with regular hits to the fence. He got to his third CPL fifty but was not able to see the Knight Riders over the line. Skipper Pooran, who has been short of runs this season, spent some time in the middle and finished the game off with 8 balls to spare. The Falcons were 15-20 runs short of a par total and losing their skipper Imad Wasim to injury didn't help either, they were always playing catch-up. Presentations coming up..

17.5

Salman Irshad to Hales, FOUR, fifty for Hales. Not one of his fluent knocks but the important thing for the Knight Riders is that he is still out there.

Obed McCoy to Pooran, SIX, that's easy peasy for Pooran. Angled into the hips, he gets inside the line and helps it along the way over fine leg. That hit has all bit sealed this encounter.. Equation now less than a run-a-ball
