10.55pm Patriots have plundered 56 from the final four overs, including 21 off the last bowled an injured Dwayne Bravo, to recover to 135 for 6. The early exchanges and the middle overs belonged to the Trinbago Knight Riders. Scantlebury-Searles struck with his first ball to claim the prize scalp of Gayle and followed it with the wicket of Hafeez. Lewis did not get going either, Narine pinning him lbw. The offspinner showed off his repertoire, ending with 4-1-8-1, including 18 dots. At one point, he had even deployed a silly-point. Nikhil will be back with you to steer the first half of the chase.

"It's a good pitch, and getting Chris Gayle early was important," Cooper says. "We really want to win this game. We got early wickets and put them under pressure, which was important for us. The ball has been coming out well, and hopefully we get this score."

Saadat : "Nabi has played as No.3 for Afghanistan, sending him late was always injustice to his ability. "

Vikram Chadha: "I Think the Patriots have definitely missed the trick by not utilizing Nabi's potential to the fullest in this CPL. I have been following his batting ever since that sensational knock he played against the Aussies. He can definitely hit a long ball and is a genuine match winner."

AlistairDiamond: "I called for 75 off 5, they got 59... this will be more interesting than I was expecting..."
