Match Ended   
111/6 (17.1/20)
72/4 (8.0/9)
Trinbago Knight Riders beat St Lucia Zouks by 6 wickets (D/L method)
It is a goodbye for now but hey folks, there is another one coming up at 5.30 pm local (2130 GMT). Jason Holder's Barbados meet Rovman Powell's Jamaica. Should be a good game. See ya then. ADIOS! TAKE CARE!
So that ends a short game, which went very long! The Knight Riders were the favourites to win before the match and they just strut their stuff. The Zouks were no match. 4 out of 4 for TKR and they are looking very, very solid. Zouks stay where they are, in second place.
Victorious Trinbago Knight Riders skipper, Kieron Pollard, calls the achievement of Dwayne Bravo as fantastic. Says that when T20 began, everyone thought it was a joke but it has become very serious, especially for the West Indies, of which he has become an integral part. Praises Bravo's competitiveness be in the same team or in the opposition and welcomes the spirit. On this particular game, Pollard says that each and every person in the Knight Riders' camp has an idea about his role. Stresses that the strength of the team is the communication which is crystal clear. Wants his guys to express themselves and share the responsibility equally.
St Lucia Zouks skipper, Daren Sammy, congratulates Dwayne Bravo for his accomplishment. Says that DJ has just been a pioneer for the West Indies in T20 cricket and is proud of him. Coming to the game and the overdependence on Nabi, Sammy does not look too much into it and says that cricket is a team game and you need performances from every player. Understands the meaning of the question though and the seriousness behind it. However, is happy with the fight shown by his side. Does not want his guys to be discouraged but come back in the next game with full confidence.
DWAYNE BRAVO HAS BEEN NAMED THE MAN OF THE MATCH. He is all smiles. Says that it is a great result for the team as they want to keep winning. Adds that during the rain, himself and Daren Sammy were discussing that every time these two teams play, it rains! On being asked to describe the feeling of taking 500 wickets in T20 and 100 in CPL, Bravo smiles shyly and says that he would like to congratulate himself. Thanks everyone who sent him congratulatory messages and says that he just wants to continue enjoying cricket.
We all know who would be the Man Of The Match but please stay tuned for the presentation...
Earlier, the Zouks never got going, as they struggled to the clever changes of pace by the Knight Riders. The focus was all on Dwayne Bravo, who created a world record by becoming the first bowler to take 500 wickets in T20 cricket and even 100 in the CPL. Mohammad Nabi did revive the innings a little bit but even if this had been a full 20-over contest, doubt if the result would have been any different. Rain made it a 9-over dash, with the target a paltry 72.
Nothing much to talk about the Zouks' bowling. 9 overs is too less to judge a bowler (those being a fan of T10 cricket will differ) and the result of the game never looked in doubt at any stage once the target was announced. Even though they were 4 down pretty early, the target was never going to be big enough to induce any pressure or affect any collapse.
Comfortable win in the end for the Knight Riders. There was a bit of a wobble at 34/4 but their batting line-up is like the elixir of life. Never ends. Little Bravo and Tim Seifert barely huffed as they got over the line.

Chemar Holder To Darren Bravo
NO BALL! Holder looks for the yorker but ends up bowling an above waist height full toss. Bravo milks it wide of sweeper cover and takes a run. They steal the other one as well. Poor fielding. Free Hit to follow.
New balls please. That was a big shot from Little Bravo. It has gone out of the park.

Ohhh! Just inches away from kissing the off bal. Slower ball, which is very well disguised around off. Bravo swings but misses. Williams is down on his knees and he cannot believe it that the ball has not hit the off pole.

Mohammad Nabi To Darren Bravo
Needed a direct hit. Full and outside off, Bravo runs this towards short third man. Kesrick Williams at short third man takes it very lightly, not attacking the ball and the batsmen take a quick single. Seifert is still gone for all money but Williams misses his direct hit. Fletcher collects and whips the bails off but his counterpart is in by that time.

Chemar Holder To Kieron Pollard OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Pollard's gone as soon as Mumbai were asked to switch on their TV sets. Jokes apart, what a ball. Bowled with a perfect upright seam, landing it on a length outside off, Pollard looks to punch this down the ground but the ball seams back in a mile. Takes the thinnest of inside edges and dies down in front of the keeper but Andre Fletcher does really well to dive to his left to catch. Chemar starts celebrating but the keeper appeals and the umpire raises his finger!

Chemar Holder To Kieron Pollard
FOUR! Wow. Timing. Is the Mumbai camp watching? Send him at number 4 in the Indian T20 League. This man is in some serious form. And this shot is a prime example. Around off, Pollard just uses his wrists to flick this over mid-wicket. The ball flies at the rate of knotts to the mid-wicket fence!

Kesrick Williams To Tion Webster OUT!
OUT! Catching practice. Second wicket for Williams to tick in his notebook. Though we haven't seen that notebook in this season yet. A short ball, outside off, Webster pulls this with a horizontal bat, but he gets only as far as Scott Kuggeleijn at wide long on. Straightforward catch, no need to even move. Actually, he moves, but after taking the catch, due to the momentum.

Kesrick Williams To Tion Webster
A length ball, around off, Webster looks to work it to the leg side but the ball holds off the surface. Hence, he gets a leading edge to the off side.

Kesrick Williams To Colin Munro OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! Munro comes, Munro sees, now Munro departs. Slower ball from Williams, outside off, Munro looks to deposit this over long on but gets more height than distance. Scott Kuggeleijn steadies himself at long on and takes it easily. 45 more needed from 39 balls.

Kesrick Williams To Colin Munro
EDGED, FOUR! Full and outside off again, Munro throws his bat at it, aiming to drive this through the off side but gets a thick outside edge. The ball flies past a diving Andre Fletcher, to his left, to the third man fence.

Scott Kuggeleijn To Tion Webster
FIVE WIDES! Horror story. Imagine you are a keeper. And the ball is coming towards you initially, like watching a 3-D movie but then going away from you. And you cannot do anything. That is the state of Andre Fletcher. He stands outside off, when Kuggeleijn runs into bowl. Then takes a step to his left as he sees the ball land around leg stump. Then, he is blinded, because he cannot see whether Webster has connected with his pull. Still, he dives. The ball is way past him, well away from him, racing to the fine leg fence.
