- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR6.5 Hung in the air for a while and safely pouched by Alex Hales at long-on in his big bucket hands. Springer brings out the chest roll celebration and why not, he has got the man-in-form back in the hut. Saim Ayub was befuddled by the clever change of pace and was slightly early through his shot, got the elevation but just enough distance. Ayub took the bait as he tried to go big but was undone by the slowness of the delivery 54/20.6 Now that's a tremendous riposte! The dreadful death means he has to go back to the pavilion, too close to cut and he makes a mess of his stumps as a thick inside edge lights up the zingers. Amir strikes early in the piece. Exactly the kind of start Tallawahs were looking for in this crucial encounter 5/112.3 Launches the ball straight into the hands of Alex Hales at long-on who gobbles it up gleefully on this occasion after the drop earlier. He is bowling according to his field at cramped him for room with this brute of a delivery that kicked and screamed off the surface, he tried to get on top of it and forced it away but it inly goes as far as Hales in the deep. Another vital breakthrough! Just when they were starting to cut loose, Jamaica Tallawahs have made another incision which will cause more problems 92/315.3 Mohammad Amir pulls off a stunning diving catch at short third while moving to his right and the ball was dipping on him but he did fantastically well to hang onto a tough catch! Flashes at a wide delivery but didn't get solid connection 122/419.4 Back of a length, nibbling away in the channel, the ball just kissed the outside edge and was dipping while on its way to the keeper, third umpire has been asked for some clarity whether it was caught cleanly. OUT on the big screen as he shaped it away from the batter who flung the bat out and the outside edge was drawn 177/617.6 Adjudged caught down the leg side! Spears in a heet-seeking inswinging yorker and he tickles it through to the keeper - who takes a sprawling catch, showing sharp reflexes and swooping to his left. Gordon is fully convinced he got his man and takes the review. Shepherd knew he got a faint tickle on it and left before the official decision was signaled. 151/5Extras13 (b 1, lb 7, w 5)TOTAL182/6 (20 Overs, RR: 9.1)Fall of wickets: 1-5 (Kevlon Anderson, 0.6 ov), 2-54 (Saim Ayub, 6.5 ov), 3-92 (Shai Hope, 12.3 ov), 4-122 (Shimron Hetmyer, 15.3 ov), 5-151 (Romario Shepherd, 17.6 ov), 6-177 (Azam Khan, 19.4 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR3.3 Revenge! Quicker, bowling straight and bowling gas on a nagging length just outside off, enticing a huge swipe from King who gets a thick edge through to Hope. Shepherd fired up and pumps his fists in ecstasy. This is exactly what the doctor prescribed for Amazon 22/14.2 Anderson plucks it out of thin air at cover, catching it like a lion catches its prey. This is a big wicket! Just merrily throws his bat at it and the fielder times his jump to perfection, ensnaring the dangerous customer 26/25.6 Spoons it to cover and you could just sense a wicket was around the corner with all the dots building up. He has brought his A-game in this high-voltage affair as Taylor tries to break free and plays an extravagant shot through the covers but ends up giving a simple catch to Beaton inside the ring. Tahir has produced the first bit of magic on the big night with a wonderful googly outside off 32/44.6 Huge breakthrough! Crackerjack! Disturbs the middle stump and breaches Brooks' defence with a pinpoint accurate delivery, on a line and then nipping it back like a barracuda. What a sight for the bowler as he wheels away into the arms of his converging teammates 30/36.6 Accuracy eluded him but he hasn't backed away from bowling fast and he reaps reward now with a vicious snorter in the channel, Reifer pushes at it and nicks it through to Hope. He was hurried by the pace and even though the shot was on but he was a touch late in cutting that one. Perhaps the scoreboard pressure can also contribute to misjudged shots 36/57.6 Jamaica Tallawahs are spiraling now! Appeal for an lbw and given Beautifully disguised delivery spinning outside off, draws him forward in defence and he didn't get any bat on it, Saim Ayub in the slip has gobbled it cleanly but the appeal is for lbw. Springer burns a review as the on-field decision stands 41/610.3 Another one bites the dust! A rash whack across the line and ends up edging it to the keeper as Tallawahs stare into the abyss, getting further and further away from getting back in this game. Smith is over the moon! 61/711.4 Motie strikes in his second over! You miss, I hit! Plants his front leg and tries to jauntily slog sweep it but exposes his stumps too much and swept down the wrong line and sees his stumps being rearranged. Green got too far across and wickets continue to tumble. Amazon bossing the game 70/815.2 Imran Tahir flummoxes Gordon with a pitch-perfect googly that clatters the middle stump! He did not pick the wrong'un and was trapped on the crease Quite fittingly, it's the skipper who gets the final wicket and the celebrations have begun! Mohammad Amir will not come out to bat owing to hamstring injury so this is the final nail in the coffin. The group stage table-toppers resumed normal service today and it will be Amazon Warriors versus Knight Riders in the final of the Caribbean Premier League on Sunday! 101/10Extras17 (lb 2, w 15)TOTAL101 all out (15.2 Overs, RR: 6.58)Fall of wickets: 1-22 (Brandon King, 3.3 ov), 2-26 (Alex Hales, 4.2 ov), 3-30 (Shamarh Brooks, 4.6 ov), 4-32 (Steven Taylor, 5.6 ov), 5-36 (Raymon Reifer, 6.6 ov), 6-41 (Shamar Springer, 7.6 ov), 7-61 (Fabian Allen, 10.3 ov), 8-70 (Chris Green, 11.4 ov), 9-101 (Nicholson Gordon, 15.2 ov)
