So, another game is done and dusted. On behalf of our scoring master, Binoy George, this is Rvel Zahid signing off. Do join us on Saturday for the double-header! Goodbye for now.

An excellent performance from the Saint Lucia Kings, who have made a strong comeback within just 24 hours after their defeat against the Tallawahs. Having posted an imposing total of 201 on a slow surface, they got a dream start by dismissing Cornwall early. The game was won in the powerplay, as Royals lost wickets in quick succession. It proved to be the major turning point. Mathew Forde delivered a menacing spell of bowling, prising out three wickets in the powerplay and causing lots of panic in the Royals' ranks. Powell-led side succumbed to the pressure from the scoreboard and could never recover from the early setback. Despite Young's valiant fifty towards the end, which helped reduce the blow to the net run rate, the overall batting performance was quite abysmal.

19.6

Descarte to Young, OUT, Hits a length ball straight to long-on and Sikandar Raza takes a simple diving catch but you got to feel for Young who deserved a half-century. Props to him for reducing the defeat margin and not succumbing meekly - this innings should give him plenty of confidence and will certainly serve him well in the tournament

Ravi: "I think this chase got derailed when Rakeem got run/walk out. Poor from Royals"

Kareem : "I think it would be a good idea for westindies to select Cornwall on the t20 international side "

19.5

Descarte to Young, no run, Length ball just outside off, clonked away to long-off who runs across to intercept the ball

19.4

Descarte to Young, SIX, Clatters it over long-off for a high and handsome six. What a shot. It's a slow pitch so it takes some doing to hit that over the rope. Only two away from his half-century!

19.3

Descarte to Young, SIX, Clears deep midwicket! Keeps his back leg firmly planted inside the crease and then leathers it away for a six. Clean hitting

19.2

Descarte to Young, no run, Skips down the track and defends it back to the bowler, nicely done, followed him up as he wandered down the leg side

19.1

Descarte to Young, 2 runs, Dropped short outside off, gives himself room and forces it away into the acreage at deep midwicket
