As Bravo signs some autographs for some fans, it's time for us to say goodbye. On behalf of Thilak, this is Sreshth saying bye. Remember, plenty of Test cricket to enjoy today. One Test is going to start soon in Chennai, day two of another in Galle shortly too. See ya.

DJ Bravo: "Yeah, very emotional. I said to Bish earlier, the boys were giving me a hard time that I'd cry today. I said no, I'm a big boy, but if the ceremony went on for five more seconds, I might've (cried)." Lot of good memories over the years... Daren Bravo's last-ball six was special. We have a lot of good memories. This is one of our favourite grounds, playing for our fans right on top of us. (Tribute) It was discussed and the captain had to officially OK it or it wasn't going to be possible. He'd have to be a real wicked man to say no, no? It was a great send off. Had two of my kids here, and my son watched a game of mine for the first time."

Winning captain Kieron Pollard: IT was a special game. One of our local icons and heroes.... we got to wear 47 and thank him (Bravo) for what he has done for Trinidad cricket and West Indies cricket. Tonight is special, getting the win for him is special. He's my best friend. We share it on and off the field. I am the Godfather to his kinds, he is the Godfather to my kids. As an allrounder, he has shown us what we can do as allrounders. The pitch wasn't conducive to strokeplay. The game was played in thirds. The powerplay was decent for both teams. We both lost wickets in the middle overs. And then we both did well in the back end. We need to see that before tomorrow's game. Iconic venue, you see a sea of red from 5 o clock in the afternoon. By the time toss happened and we took the field, it was a fantastic atmosphere."

Losing captain Shai Hope: I don't like to pinpoint the toss, but always good to chase here. We set ourselves a few runs short with the bat but commendable to take the game to the last over. (Shepherd's batting) When he's striking it well, he's tough to stop. Without his innings, we'd have been way too short. He's been out for a few games, hopefully he can bowl next time. (Bowling effort) We really fought well. Just crucial moments of the game. Don't want to pinpoint fielding and bowling effort. We had a missed chance but that's cricket. We need to fight like this. This is always a big, big, big match, always a great game coming to play here."

Andre Russell is the Player of the Match for his 15-ball 36*: (only his second game but in good nick) Feels good to be back in the middle. Been struggling with an ankle injury and these guys have been doing an amazing job getting me back on the park. When you work hard, you get results. The mindset was that I know I can hit sixes and that Tim David is a six-hitter as well. Told him that we had 24 balls, and we had to hit eight sixes. (Bravo's contribution) Think me being who I am today, has a lot to do with him. I used to wicketkeep, bowl and bat at 11, 10. Saw him bat for West Indies in Tests, fielding and diving, I am just happy to be part of this game. That's why it was emotional celebration, he deserved that win tonight. He helped me how to outthink the batter, be a smart bowler. Think he'll shed a tear tonight. This one is for DJ Bravo."

Harsh S.: "Pooran, Pollard, David, Russell, the finest big hitting quartet in franchise cricket right now."

This was one of the most anticipated fixtures of the CPL 2024 league stage, and boy, it did not disappoint. Twists and turns aplenty, just have a look at ESPNcricinfo's forecaster, swinging from one side to another through the evening. Presentation shortly.

10.56pm It wasn't looking good for Trinbago Knight Riders when their innings appeared to stall through the middle overs. Tim David was not hitting it well either, but when it came down to the final over, he showed why exactly he is one of the most dangerous finishers in the T20 format. Of course, the OG big-hitter cannot be ignored either. It was Russell's four sixes, including three in one over, that brought the equation down to something David could manage.

A superb game, innit? It appeared to be a one-sided affair when Guyana Amazon Warriors were 76/7 in the first innings. Then Romario Shepherd's stunning half-century evened things up. When Amazon Warriors started strongly with the ball and reduced TKR to 89/5, it appeared the home crowd would be silenced, however the home side have invested in some amazing middle and lower-order batters, and that came to the fore when the stakes got high. Especially pleasing for Dwayne Bravo, playing one of his last few games at the Queen's Park Oval. Or maybe even his last one!

Ravi pooran : "why wasn't Moen didn't get to finish his 4 overs after 2-5-1? That's the reason warriors are loosing this match. "

Interestingly, Romario Shepherd has not bowled today. In fact, he didn't field at all today. Has he picked up a niggle again? Nonetheless, it was his batting today that has made a game out of this fixture.
