Trinbago vs Tallawahs, 3rd Match at Port of Spain, Aug 10 2018 - Ball by Ball Commentary
Tallawahs won by 4 wickets (with 3 balls remaining)
11.55pm A stunning catch. A hat-trick. A 40-ball hundred - the fastest in the CPL. All in a day's work. Take a bow, captain Andre Russell. He is embraced by his good friend Dwayne Bravo. The TKR fans in the stands, however, are disappointed. Spare a thought for Ali Khan, who impressed with the new ball, but then dropped Russell first ball and watched him smash his team and records.
Lewis: Andre Russell is like brother. The pitch was slower to bat early on and then later the ball come onto the bat
AliAhsan : "Feel for Ali khan remember when he was playing for amazon he had a similar start got early wickets then Shakib and gayle started to attack eventually tallawahs win and today same thing happen got early wickets and russel just went bizzare and tallawahs won "
Andre Russell (who else?) is the Player of the Match: First game of captain at this level, it was a good start and I'm going to enjoy while it lasts. The hard work has been playing off. Appreciate the dropped catch and I'm happy I could contribute big for my team. I believe in Lewis and that's the reason why he's in the lower order. We select the team based on the conditions. He's like my brother and I'm very emotional. We have a dinosaur tail batting and even though Bravo was bowling, we backed ourselves.
Dwayne Bravo: Well played to him and congrats and happy for him. He proved why why he is the best in the world. Yes, we're the losing side, but I'm happy. The dew is always a factor in the later stage of the innings. Lewis also batted well lower down the order. My guys gave their best but can't do much when Dre's batting like that.
Thanks for tuning in. Hope you enjoyed our coverage as much as we did bringing it to you. Goodbye and good night.
