In reply, Knight Riders lost Narine for a golden duck and later suffered a blow when Hamza Tariq was undone by Guyana skipper Rayad Emrit when the team score read 33. Bravo came in at number four and stitched a partnership of 85 runs with Munro. The West Indies cricketer was eventually dismissed by Permaul but his dismissal didn’t really change much for Guyana as Tribago sealed a berth in the final of CPL 2017. They will now meet St Kitts and Nevis Patriots at Brian Lara Stadium, Tarouba, Trinidad on Saturday for the title clash.
