That will be it from this game then. We hope you enjoyed our coverage. Until next time,it's goodbye. Thank you for joining us.
"Heartbroken," says Gayle with a laugh on defeating his former team. "Just another game for me, happy to get another win. Lots of catches have gone down in this tournament, but the guys have been putting in their work. We need to take the catches. It's a good feeling to qualify. I'm happy for the public. Hopefully, we can go all the way and hopefully it will be a Jamaica-St Kitts final."
"We had to rejig our combination, we don't have that combination in the top seven. The positive is tat the guys stayed strong," says Tallawahs captain Sangakkara. "Sides will look at us and know they need a big total against us, that is a positive. We put Griffith up the order because we wanted to go. We probably needed 60-plus in the Powerplay and we got close. Lendl will continue to bat in the top of the order."
Evin Lewis is the Man of the Match. "I think it was a good wicket. It's a good feeling to qualify for the playoffs," he says. "You're not going to middle the ball all the time, that's just how it is."
10pm A one-sided win for Patriots, who qualify for the playoffs, the first time they have in the CPL. Tallawahs never looked to be in the chase. You got to wonder why they didn't open with Lendl Simmons when he has done so all season. The two who did open, though, Glenn Phillips and Trevon Griffith, made decent contributions, but that was pretty much it. Rovman Powell and McCarthy played good late cameos but the damage was already done and their contributions didn't make for much of a recovery.

swings the bat early. Slower short ball, gets over him on its way to the keeper
19.4
6
Brathwaite to Smith, SIX runs
slower length ball, clears the front leg and swings with a half-angled bat. Carries all the way over long-off. That was just sheer power that did it

Brathwaite to Smith, no run
dipping yorker on middle and leg, dug out back to the bowler
19.2
W
Brathwaite to Powell, OUT
reaches out a long way to this fuller ball and throws his hands hard at it. It's a legcutter and he doesn't pick the drop in pace, skews a catch to the deep where sweeper cover gets under it with reverse-cupped hands

W
Badree to McCarthy, OUT
walks across a mile outside off and telegraphs it so much that Badree probably worked out every single variation he knows of. Ends up bowling it straight on middle, McCarthy tries to paddle and gets hit on the pad as the ball drifts in and beats the bat

Badree to Powell, SIX runs
lots of height and turns out more than enough distance as well. What a strike that is. Pitched up on middle and leg,gets the front leg out, makes room and presents the full face of the bat to loft it straight down
