Presentation ceremony

Qais Ahmed, Man of the Match "These conditions are good for spinners. I tried my best. Good spinner Imran bhai in our team, he is sharing his experience. I have many new celebrations."

Carlos Brathwaite, losing captain: "Always tough to defend 122. King came and took the game away within the first six. Wasn't the best batting wicket, but we couldn't adapt as well. Tough to lose Lewis, plans had to be changed. We come back tomorrow, and we hope to put in a better performance tomorrow. We did many good things with the ball, we need to continue the good job with the ball and put in a better batting performance. Want to do a complete performance tomorrow."

Shoaib Malik, winning captain: "Good thing is we are on the road, this is our first away game and we won. We have extra edge at home, but at oppositions' home those performances have higher value. Credit to bowlers for taking regular wickets. Legspinners are key in all three formats, so even we discussed in the dressing room that we should have a couple of legspinners in the team. Glad we have couple of world-class spinners who create opportunities for us. It's too early to say how we'll finish, but the way we are playing we want to focus on that."

11.20pm Amazon Warriors cruise to victory and catapult to the top of the points table. Qais and Tahir strangled Patriots in the first innings and King's early onslaught in the second innings made the chase a mere formality. Amazon Warriors are now four for four while Patriots still stay on only one win after five matches. We'll have the presentation imminently.
