that's the match! Slower offcutter lands too full on the legs, Dunk tonks this over deep square leg and it lands just beyond the rope with no man protecting it. Patriots win their first match of CPL 2020 by six wickets.

That's it from us today. Check out Sreshth Shah's report sizing up all the action. For Himanshu Agrawal, I'm Peter Della Penna. Come back in a few hours for the nightcap in today's CPL doubleheader at Queen's Park Oval between Jamaica Tallawahs and Guyana Amazon Warriors. Take care!
Patriots captain Rayad Emrit: "One of our top batters batting straight to the end, Evin scoring 90 runs it's unfortunate he didn't make a hundred but we've been asking one of our guys to stay to the end. Like Jason said, it's not an easy wicket to come in and bash the ball and with Evin there it made it easy for the batters at the end. It was important for [Ramdin and Lewis] to make that partnership. I thought we batted a little slow in the middle but with Evin there we always back him to make up for it. That was important that we don't get new batters in early. Jon-Russ Jaggesar, he's been excellent so far the first three games that he's played. He's been doing the right things more consistently than everyone else. The pitch is not a bad wicket, but it's very difficult for new batters to come in and muscle the ball. Bowlers are going to get rewards here."
Tridents captain Jason Holder: "I felt it was a par score. If we had 5 or 10 runs more it would have been great. In T20 cricket you want guys to keep up the tempo. It wasn't an easy wicket to start hitting on. You had to spend time at the wicket. It's really important in these games to have a set batter going deep. We didn't have one at the back end of the game. I thought Nyeem Young had an outstanding game. Tough luck to him in the last over. That's how cricket is played. The positive for us is he showed a lot of heart."
Evin Lewis is today's Man of the Match: "We needed this win. We went out there and backed our skills. I got a good start for the team, couldn't carry on to the end but we got the victory. We had a bit of a shaky start losing the first three games but hopefully this victory can bring momentum for us to carry on through the tournament."
1.40 pm Yeh feedback commenters talk nah? Ramdin's go-slow approach is excused by the end result as Dunk finishes off the anchor work done by Lewis. The defending champs from 2019 are struggling to come up with a winning formula in this year's campaign.

Young to Dunk, SIX runs
One shot will end it now. No margin for error from the youngster Nyeem Young.
19.2
6
Young to Dunk, SIX runs
full and wide on sixth stump, Dunk flays this drive high and deep over extra cover. First time he's aimed for the off side instead of trying to whip everything over midwicket and the ball is timed to perfection 20 yards over the rope.

Young to Dunk, no run
length ball on sixth stump, Dunk flails anxiously over the top of it. Hope flicks the ball onto the stumps after collecting as Dunk set off initially for a bye before turning back. Not out.

1w
Young to Dunk, 1 wide
wide yorker, way too wide beyond the guidelines though. Bonus ball.
Huge missed opportunity off the final ball of the 19th from Dunk facing Mayers. Should really be 8 off 6 balls. 9 times out of 10 he would have carted that full toss for 6.
Young to bowl the final over, over the stumps.

Mayers to Dunk, FOUR runs
full toss at knee height on fifth stump, Dunk premedidates a reverse scoop and plays this exquisitely over short third man. Straight out of the billiards trick shot manual.

Mayers to Lewis, OUT
fullish length ball on fourth stump, Lewis can't get under it enough with a skied drive to long-off. Rashid comes in initially before backpedaling and settles under this 5 yards in from the rope to take this in front of his face with palms facing out.
