Trinbago vs Zouks, 27th Match at Tarouba, CPL, Sep 05 2020 - Match Result

Pollard, TKR captain and Man of the Match: I think they had us under pressure, some of our guys stood up. We batted in two halves, and overall good match for us. Hopefully, I can continue to lead and lead well. You need the support of everyone. It was one of the better wickets in the tournament, 24-run margin, but it was a lot closer I thought. We want to play the ball and not play the wicket. Munro is struggling a bit, but everyone else is available. We have a combination to go into the final stage.

Sammy, Zouks captain: Like Pollard said, we had them under pressure, I thought today was the best wicket we had. Probably at the back end, we did not bat as well. Pollard and Bravo made us of the big side of the field. Anybody who wants to win the tournament has to go through them. They're the team to beat. If you see TKR, you don't want to bowl spin to Polly and Bravo, and you have to juggle.

So, that's the lot for you from this game. Thanks for tuning in. This is Deiva Muthu signing off on the behalf of Thilak Ram and P Ranjith. Stay safe and cheers.

Sarah : "Seales performing very well in these situations here... in a few years I can see him being a death over specialist bowler. Standing up to the pressure very well in this team "

Leonardo : "Another MOTM performance from the big man and captain Pollard"

Seales to Chase, no run

full and slanting down the leg side, off the thigh pad and through to Seifert

Danish: "In my opinion Sammy has not been the same since he got injured playing for Peshawar 1.5 years ago and finished that game a hero. His best playing days are behind him and it"s visible he can't lead by example anymore. He's a great leader and should pursue a career in coaching, I bet he'd be in high demand."

Seales to Sammy, OUT
