Full commentary

11:51 pm That's it from the second qualifier. One more game to go in this edition of the tournament. We'll see you then. Good night!

Dwayne Bravo: It went well [strategy to use 8 bowlers]. I trusted my gut feeling. I realised the wicket was flat and there wasn't much movement, so I had to change the bowlers around. I was satisfied chasing 159. Some people might have thought we gave 15-20 too much, but we were happy. Gajanand and Primus did well but we were happy. Our batting shuffle worked tonight, we're going to back Narine and Munro at the top. No disrespect to the other teams, but the two best teams are in the final. People are going to come in numbers and we'll need their suppotr. It's gonna be entertaining. I'm looking forward to it.

Rayad Emrit: We didn't get a chance to line up any of their bowlers. Still felt like 159 was a good total to defend but our catching didn't help us out. It was probably one of our worst nights. Even our ground fielding wasn't up to it. That's it, it was just one of our bad days. Gotta put it behind us. It's been tough [to captain] but I'm one to accept the challenge. We had to win our last five games and it's taken a toll. Still think we had done satisfactorily with 159.

Colin Munro, Man of the Match: It wasn't pretty [his innings]. Credit to our batting. The last two games we let ourselves down. Sometimes I'm more comfortable coming in early because you can generate a strike rate early in the Powerplay. Otherwise it's not easy to poke around at No. 3. We've been the form team and deserve to be in the final. Knowing this could be the last game [pegged me on].

11:32 pm On September 9, the final: Trinbago Knight Riders v St Kitts and Nevis Patriots. We have the finalists as the drizzle makes its way into Trinidad, having allowed the match to go through without any delays. Trinbago needed a good start. They'd struggled for it after McCullum had left. And they lost Narine first ball today. They needed the top order to give them a base. Munro and Darren Bravo did that today. Munro offered chances that Guyana didn't take early on. And that's the end of their run. They put together quite a sequence at the back end of this tournament, only to bow out tamely.

1w
Emrit to Munro, 1 wide

bouncer, too short. Climbs over Munro's head and he's happy to let it go. Because that will be a wide and the winnings run. Trinbago are through to the finals of CPL 2017

another brilliant yorker. Sneaks past leg stump from between his legs, and this time the keeper gathers it

Tanvir to Ramdin, 4 byes

it's a great yorker, but it's four anyway! splits his legs open as he looks to hoick this. He's comprehensively beaten, but Ronchi's dive, low to his left, only manages to help the ball along to the fine leg boundary

Will they do it in this over?
