Tridents vs Amazon, 19th Match at Providence, , Aug 20 2017 - Match Result

9.46 pm The team that displayed the better strategy won today. It was an epic game, let's not forget that, but one team played their cards better than the other. Tridents, with ten wickets in hand and despite Dwayne Smith's 100, accelerated too late into their innings and fell 15-20 runs short. On the other hand, Amazon Warriors were smart to send in a pinch-hitter in the form of Sohail Tanvir and allowed their middle-order more stability with Guptill at two-down. The tournament is, once again, wide open. We'll leave you with that thought. Hope you enjoyed ESPNcricinfo's coverage of the 19th CPL match. Till next time, from Sreshth and Shashank, it's adios!

9.42 pm Winning captain Martin Guptill says: "Hopefully we can win on Tuesday too. We thought we should utilise our front-six overs better and we had a chat with Tanvir if he could open. Losing myself and Chadwick in back-to-back balls was disappointing, but I was never nervous. I've been trying to tell the guys that cricket is supposed to be played with fun."

Losing captain Kieron Pollard says: "Not disappointed, but concerned with our performance. Conceding too many runs, and the fielding has been poor today too. We have two international bowlers, and we knew they were going to come hard, but they batted well. We need to believe in ourselves more. The three games we lost, went down to the final over. Smith batted really well, especially since we lost Malik."

9.35 pm Unsurprisingly, Chadwick Walton is the Man of the Match. He says: "It's a do-or-die game so the win will boost our morale. I was concentrating on the target and not the hundred (that he missed out on). We will fight to the end, and that's what we preach and we will continue to do that." Stick around for post-match comments from the two captains.

9.33 pm What a match we had today. One ton, one player out in the nineties, a couple of batting hiccups and some beautiful bowling spells on display. Amazon Warriors, on four points after the win, are now tied on points with losers Barbados Tridents. The tournament is wide open now as Guyana put their hat into the qualification-mix once again.

Nanda: "GAW are making a proper khedgeree of these last few runs. " -- Not sure what that is, but I thoroughly agree.

Pollard's four overs yielded him four wickets for only sixteen runs. His best CPL figures. Who will he give the final over to? Amazon Warriors need five off the final over.

wow, unbelievable stuff. Pollard stops mid-way through his delivery and warns the non-striker for the Mankad. He could've easily run the non-striker out if he wanted to

Pollard to continue. A crucial over, this

Fudadin has taken his helmet off. It's been 21 balls since the last boundary

The crowd in Guyana went quiet last over after the two wickets. They've begun to find their voice once again

Fourteen runs needed off three overs. Springer into the attack

Two new batsmen in the middle now. Neither have faced a ball yet. Pollard on a hat-trick

Mark Row: "This has been well played by Guyana Amazon Warriors. They've rotated the strike well and I think Guptill is allowing Walton the chance to get a century knowing they have this in hand."
