11.37pm Tallawahs would be lying if they said they didn't feel the heat just for a brief while, during that Simmons-Pollard partnership. But it's been snuffed out pretty effectively in the end. That's how fickle this format can be. One big over or two quick wickets are all it takes for a game to turn on its head. As with the batsmen, the bowlers produced a collective effort to make this win happen. So that means Tallawahs pick up two more points to go top of the table. That's a good position to be in at this stage of the tournament. For his power-packed 64, Rovman Powell is Man of the Match. That's all we have from here then. Join us again tomorrow, but until then, thanks for your time.

Craig: "Some very strange things from the Tallawahs. Powell who was underutilized as a bowler all CPL now bowls 4 overs while Russell who has underutilized himself with the bat now underutilize himself with the ball by bowling only 3 overs when he has been the most economical on the night."
