Technical issues from the broadcaster means we can't quite have the captains' quotes. But thanks for joining us for the day's first match, as SLK move on the top of the points table with the win over TKR. Barbados Royals and St Kitts face off later today, and until then, it's goodbye and good night from us!
Sikandar Raza is the Player of the Match for his all-round show: "It was good. With the bat, I thought we were 15 short. I found tough to get going... We've got a very good attack, especially here with five spinners. It's a luxury for Faf to call on any spinner. To have a team with five or six is allrounders, you always have somebody to call upon."
1.23pm A batting line-up where everyone wanted a piece of everything falls well short of their target. Only four of TKR's top-eight batters get into double figures - out of Guptill, Pooran, Pollard, Bravo and Russell, only Pollard and Russell scored more than nine - as TKR's counterattacking approach backfired on a slow, turning pitch. Four wickets for left-arm spinner Pierre, and two each for spinners Chase and Raza quite prove the point. Hang around for the presentation.

Adarsh: "With their batting line-up, TKR should have been invincible. Hopefully, some common sense prevails over recklessness in the upcoming matches"
END OF OVER:14 | 6 Runs 1 Wkt | TKR: 112/9 (56 runs required from 36 balls, RR: 8.00, RRR: 9.33)
