Thanks for your company tonight. Join us again tomorrow for more CPL action with another double-header in St Lucia in store.
10.40pm Clinical chase from Jamaica Tallawahs. They win by six wickets with 14 balls to spare. A 93-run stand between Kennar Lewis and Shamarh Brooks did the job. Lewis played a blinder to make 89 from 53 but Brooks' contribution cannot undersold. He finished with 47 not out from 26 balls.Nathan: "Lets not forget Shamarh Brooks well calculated innings which helped to build partnership between him and Lewis"Kennar Lewis is Player of the Match. The Tallawahs show their depth. They bowled very well and caught well. Rovman Powell took three excellent catches. Fidel Edwards' opening spell did a lot of damage and Migael Pretorius cashed in at the death with four wickets. The Royals are struggling and without Azam Khan's 50 from 30 balls and Joshua Bishop's 3 for 20 they would have been destroyed.

Marlon Miller: "This CPL could not come at a better point for the fringe players in the West Indies T20 setup. Players like Kennar Lewis and Sherfane Rutherford are giving the selectors something to think about a head of the world cup. "

slower ball cutter, he pulls to the gap forward of square and they get two
