Sunil Narine, Man of the Match: I was supposed to open, but Webster got the opportunity. He's young and he backed himself. It's nice to get the license. If it comes off, I'm happy. Not much dew tonight and it was a good surface to bowl on today.
Gayle, Jamaica captain: Narine's innings was key and we put down a few chances. I thought they would score 220-240, we pulled it back in the end. It's our first game, yes. Nothing to panic about. The wicket got a bit slower, so it was difficult to get going. Russell gave us a lifeline, but like I said nothing to panic.
Pollard, TKR captain: It was too close for comfort. I thought Narine changed the momentum immediately and in the first six overs we stamped our authority. Each and every game we need to come up with plans and the bowlers did well against a strong batting line-up who have strong guys who can clear the boundary. The way young Webster batted - he went deep and that's what you want in T20s. Hopefully, we can make it 3 in 3 at home
That's all we have for you from this game. This is Deivarayan Muthu signing off on the behalf of Hemant Brar and Vairavan. Goodbye and good night. Looking forward to your warm company tomorrow as well.

Neesham to Springer, OUT
Neesham strikes again. This is the change up, floated in at middle, the batsman slogs to the leg side and winds up dragging it back onto the stumps. Neesham has the home crowd jiving and grooving to his tunes

middle-stump yorker at 138ks, stabbed past Ali Khan to long-off. Top bowling from the USA quick. I'm still surprised that Ali Khan didn't get an IPL deal earlier this season
