a juicy full toss and Russell lofts it over long-on, gets to his fifty off 37 balls but the Tallawahs falls short by 14 runs
Amazon vs Tallawahs, 8th Match at Tarouba, CPL, Aug 22 2020 - Match Result
Fidel Edwards and Andre Russell's 45-run partnership is JT's highest for the 8th wicket in T20s, breaking the record of 35 between Sangakkara and Santokie
That's all from our side for today. See you soon.
Chris Green: We knew the wicket was quite tough to bat on. We felt we were 10-15 short but we have a special bowling line-up. I think our four quality batsmen are overdue and I cannot wait to see them among runs. We have to continue to work on building partnerships.
Rovman Powell: I am very, very disappointed but that's the nature of the game. I thin both teams batted poorly, and we really need to improve our batting. Impressed with Mujeeb and Sandeep. The positive was Russell coming to the party.
Naveen-ul-Haq is the Player of the Match. "We knew if we can post anything around 120, it would be a competitive total," he says. He says he is working on his batting and enjoyed bowling to Andre Russell.
6.00pm What a chaotic game. The Warriors slipped from 56 for no loss to 98 for 8 before being bowled out for 118. The Tallawahs' chase never took off as Chris Green picked up two early wickets. Every other bowler got a wicket each as the Warriors defended the lowest total in CPL history.
