Thanks for joining us tonight. On behalf of Akshay - good bye! See you soon.

Sangakkara: Wasn't confident of defending 129, but I knew we had the bowlers for the 6-15 overs phase. I hope our batsmen play well soon, because with the batting we have, we should back up our bowlers.

Guptill: I think we gave them 10-15 too many. It's always tough coming here and scoring runs freely. Looking back, we should have probably pushed a lot earlier.

Man of the Match, Kesrick Williams: I was under no pressure. Whenever the captain gives the ball, I'm ready. It's just two things that can happen - you win or you lose, and I was positive. I saw the spinners bowl well and I saw Rayad bowl cutters. I like to bowl my variations and I did that. I feel really well. I'm not going to share this rum [MOTM award] with anyone, it's a gift for my father.

9:44 pm Chest-thumping from Kesrick Williams. He has just defended 8 off the last over and Tallawahs have won when they shouldn't have. Guyana had a great start, they had four reprieves, and were helped along with at least 6 extra runs because of misfields. STILL, they've fallen short in a low-scoring game. Guptill got in, didn't kick on. Babar Azam was swiping aimlessly towards the end. They'll look back at those two - their best batsmen - and know that one of them was supposed to take them through.
Imad Wasim and Garey Mathurin bowled stellar spells in the middle. Sami and Santokie kept the batsmen to singles towards the end and built up the pressure. You usually hear that taking wickets is the way to win when you don't have too many runs on the board. These bowlers have actually defended 128, having taken only four wickets.

Williams to Primus, OUT, taken at deep midwicket! After all the dropped catches, they hold on to one now. Slower length ball outside off. Primus gets under it and connects with the slog sweep. But he sends it high into the air and not too far. In fact, it's some 15 yards inside the boundary. Fielder composes himself and takes it

RS Primus c sub (TA Griffith) b Williams 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

The new batsman, Roshon Primus, will face the last ball. They need 3 off 1. Deep midwicket, long-on, long-off and deep backward square leg are out, along with sweeper cover. Third man and fine leg are in

Williams to Mohammed, 1 run, slower ball, short and wide outside the marker on the off side. Expects the batsman to shuffle. He does. And he can't get this cut past extra cover
