Dwayne and Darren Bravo keep Trinbago Knight Riders unbeaten

Either side of the rain, which cut St Lucia Zouks' innings to 17.1 overs and left the Trinbago Knight Riders only nine overs to bat, the Bravo brothers took the match by its collar and ensured a comfortable Knight Riders victory.

Dwayne Bravo took his 500th T20 wicket en route to extraordinary figures of 2 for 7 off three overs, before Darren Bravo hit 23 not out off 13 balls to help the Knight Riders to their target of 72 off nine overs, with a full over to spare. The victory maintains the Knight Riders' four-match winning streak, while handing the second-placed Zouks their second loss in five games.

No other bowler has got even 400 T20 wickets, and yet here was Dwayne Bravo taking his 500th. Easily one of the top five cricketers in this format, he set the tone for this game with his opening spell, from which the Zouks never recovered. Dwayne claimed two wickets - having Rahkeem Cornwall caught, before bowling Roston Chase. But almost more importantly, he also only conceded five runs from those two overs, delivering seven dot balls - including the two wickets - and conceding only singles from the remaining deliveries. Dwayne returned for a third over, and was arguably even better at the death. He conceded only two singles in the 17th over.

Although 72 from nine overs seemed initially like a cakewalk, the Zouks did muster some sort of fight with the ball, taking the first four wickets off the first 3.3 overs of the innings to leave the Knight Riders at 34 for 4. Darren Bravo would ensure Dwayne's work with the ball would not be for nothing, though, hitting two sixes to drive the Knight Riders home. The first of those was his 100th CPL six - one of those shots launched so far that it landed on the stadium roof and a new ball had to be called for.

The Zouks seemed to be in arrears for the majority of this match, but the man who was most relentlessly dragging them towards parity was Mohammad Nabi. He hit 30 not out off 22, and later claimed the wicket of Lendl Simmons with the second ball of the Knight Riders' innings. He would go on to concede a six and a four to Colin Munro later in that over, and would finish with figures of 1 for 15 from two overs. Without Nabi, Zouks' loss would have been even more stark, however.
