Tallawahs vs Patriots, 8th Match at Kingston, Aug 15 2018 - Match Result
9:40pm And that is all from our coverage! Hope you enjoyed it. We'll see you tomorrow.
Andre Russell: Very good feeling. Winning in Trinidad and back to back at home. Hope we keep going and I want to say well done to the boys. Proud of the bowling line-up, we have depth and I hope we continue. I played a few games in Florida with Windies recently, and I have a few good words to say to the boys about playing there. Can't say now because I don't anyone to watch this interview and pick it up.
Chris Gayle: They played good cricket. We let it slip when we had chances didn't take them. We bowled well in the middle overs but hose three sixes against Brathwaite shifted the momentum in their favour. Sandeep, we'll miss him as he's off to play international cricket end of August. I have seen him play in the IPL, he's a good lad. Injury not serious, luckily it [finger' is not broken. A couple of days off and we'll look to bounce back before we go home.
Kennar Lewis: I am an opening batsman and I did my job. I can do this job in the first six overs. It is the Kennar Lewis way. That's how I do it. Anywhere my skipper wants me to bat, I'll do my job. Thanks to the crowd for supporting us.
Kennar Lewis is the Man of the Match.
9:18pm Jamaica continue their unbeaten run. A third win in a row, and this one is done without any pressure. A 47-run drubbing, set up by three knocks of 40-plus in their top order, and then, some fiery opening bowling from Oshane Thomas and Krishmar Santokie, who kept Gayle to a run in the first three overs, while getting Evin Lewis for a second-ball duck. Those opening overs created a pressure that was sustained right through, as the middle order crumbled in the face of an ever-rising required rate. Russell got into the wickets, then the spinners got their act on and it was an ordinary slide from St Kitts and Nevis in the end.
