That's all we have from commentary. Thanks for joining us and hope to see you tomorrow as well.

12.40 am "We wanted to win this game, even though we got off to a flyer, it was important to bat well in the middle and finish off the game. Well played to Munro for doing that," says TKR captain Dwayne Bravo

, "Very happy for the overseas players performaing, with Shadab and Munro, they make it easier for the team. We have a lot of matchwinners. Just need one of two to win. I came here only 20 minutes before the toss after my new baby boy was born. Very happy for it."

"Didn't have someone batting throguh long enough in the top order. Had a few starts, but didn't have enough. Munro got away from us early, but we did well with the other guys," says Warriors captain Martin Guptill, "Not going to win every game of T20. We're getting better with each game, and that's all we can ask for."

"Very nice to win today. Last game, I got out at a crucial stage. But we spoke about it, that if Bravo or myself are there after the Powerplay, we should bat through," says Colin Munro, the Man of the Match, "The wickets here are slower and harder to manufacture shots in the middle, so our plan is to hit hard early on with the new ball. The management supports men when I do that. We played a pretty terrible game in the last game and still we went close, so if we put in a a good game, we'd always be up there"

12.30 am Trinbago Knight Riders have made a potentially tricky chase look ridiculously easy, because they had a top-order batsman play right through Colin Munro has 70 off 47 balls to his name as he walks back to the pavilion. Five fours, five sixes, a bulldozer through most bowling attacks.

Guyana Amazon Warriors, still winless after three matches, would rue the chances they created but could not accept - two catches dropped in two balls in the seventh over - and they might have been hard done by the umpire not upholding an lbw appeal against Munro when he was on 0 - the very next ball after Brendon McCullum was caught for a duck.

Emrit to Ramdin, SIX runs

and there's the win, off a cut shot over the infield to the point boundary.

1lb
Emrit to Munro, 1 leg bye

looks to whip a good length ball against the angle across him and is struck on the pads instead. Lbw appeal shot down because it pitched outside leg

18.4
Emrit to Munro, no run

low full toss on middle and leg, nudges it back to the bowler

Usman : "So who do you think will be the man of the tournament shadab or munro" Still more than a month to go for the other guys to catch up

18.3
Emrit to Munro, no run

into the blockhole outside off, squeezes it out to extra cover

Emrit to Ramdin, SIX runs

and there's another! Short ball, outside off, sends it sailing over deep midwicket. That's the 100th six of this CPL

TKR need 9 off 12 balls, with Munro, the opener, still batting on 70 off 44.

Tanvir to Munro, SIX runs

over long-on, well over him! Munro gets length, he gets under it and sends it soaring into the night sky. This one's nearly over, fellas. Ramdin's already pumping his fists

17.5
Tanvir to Munro, no run

slower ball plinks off the toe-end of the bat and to the wicketkeeper. His timing's a little off having faced only 11 balls into the last five overs

Tanvir to Ramdin, 1 run

short and wide, smashes it to the sweeper

top-edge and it swirls out towards long leg. The slower balls are the best way to go, and Tanvir manages to execute it well despite the dew. No fielders in the vicinity though

TKR need 20 off 18 balls for their third victory in four matches. Guyana, meanwhile, are staring a third straight defeat. Can Sohail Tanvir do something about that?

sweep again - seems that's his ploy when he can't read the turn on the ball. This is the googly, and it takes the inside edge

16.3

Rashid Khan to Ramdin, FOUR runs

bludgeons a slog sweep to the deep midwicket boundary. Sensational shot, but considering it's a length ball on middle, Rashid didn't really push Ramdin into a corner

16.2

Rashid Khan to Munro, 1 run

width on the legbreak, and Munro cuts to deep point

16.1

Rashid Khan to Ramdin, 1 run

flat googly, which Ramdin reads and short-arm pulls to deep midwicket

TKR need 29 off 24 now, with seven wickets in hand. Does Rashid have anything up his sleeve? Otherwise, this game's cooked

Primus to Munro, 2 runs

pummels a length ball on middle out to deep midwicket's left. Good work from the fielder, to stop the boundary.

15.5
Primus to Munro, no run

good yorker, just outside off, and Munro, in his attempt to clear the front leg and slice it through point, fails
