That's all we have from commentary. Thanks for joining us and hope to see you tomorrow as well.
12.40 am "We wanted to win this game, even though we got off to a flyer, it was important to bat well in the middle and finish off the game. Well played to Munro for doing that," says TKR captain Dwayne Bravo
, "Very happy for the overseas players performaing, with Shadab and Munro, they make it easier for the team. We have a lot of matchwinners. Just need one of two to win. I came here only 20 minutes before the toss after my new baby boy was born. Very happy for it."
"Didn't have someone batting throguh long enough in the top order. Had a few starts, but didn't have enough. Munro got away from us early, but we did well with the other guys," says Warriors captain Martin Guptill, "Not going to win every game of T20. We're getting better with each game, and that's all we can ask for."
"Very nice to win today. Last game, I got out at a crucial stage. But we spoke about it, that if Bravo or myself are there after the Powerplay, we should bat through," says Colin Munro, the Man of the Match, "The wickets here are slower and harder to manufacture shots in the middle, so our plan is to hit hard early on with the new ball. The management supports men when I do that. We played a pretty terrible game in the last game and still we went close, so if we put in a a good game, we'd always be up there"
12.30 am Trinbago Knight Riders have made a potentially tricky chase look ridiculously easy, because they had a top-order batsman play right through Colin Munro has 70 off 47 balls to his name as he walks back to the pavilion. Five fours, five sixes, a bulldozer through most bowling attacks.
Guyana Amazon Warriors, still winless after three matches, would rue the chances they created but could not accept - two catches dropped in two balls in the seventh over - and they might have been hard done by the umpire not upholding an lbw appeal against Munro when he was on 0 - the very next ball after Brendon McCullum was caught for a duck.
Usman : "So who do you think will be the man of the tournament shadab or munro" Still more than a month to go for the other guys to catch up
TKR need 9 off 12 balls, with Munro, the opener, still batting on 70 off 44.
