Trinbago open their chase with Lendl Simmons and Sunil Narine. Afghanistan's Naveen-ul-Haq has the new ball and he will restart the proceedings. TKR have to chase 145 runs in 17 overs. Just the four runs from the first over.
SIX! Hetmyer gets down on one knee and slaps it over mid-wicket. Then a couple - good running there by Hetmyer and Paul. A single of the last ball & that makes it 15 off the last over. Hetmyer remains unbeaten on 63. Narine was the pick of the bowlers with 2/19 in 4 overs !
GAW- 144/5 after 17 overs
A HUGE hit into the stands brings up the first 50 of the CPL 2020. However, disaster strikes a ball later as Rutherford is out for a duck by Bravo. The slow ball working there, caught safely near the ropes by Munro! 498th T20 Wicket for Dwayne Bravo. GAW- 117/5 after 14.2 ovs
The dangerous Nicholas Pooran is gone for 18! Jayden Seales picks up his first CPL wicket. It was low full-toss which was hit hight in the air and Bravo makes no mistake. Very impressive from young Seales as he didn't get overawed by Pooran's movement. GAW- 111/4 after 14 ovs
Pooran is picking Bravo well and lofts his slower one over long-off for a SIX! and then gets a boundary of his pads. 1 6 L4 1 2 2 and that makes it 16 runs from the over. GAW- 105/3 after 13 overs.
Narine's back like he was never away! He spins a web to finish with 2/19 off his 4 overs | 5 overs to go! How many more GAW will add to their total? GAW- 89/3 after 12 ovs
First ball and Nicholas Pooran goes for the reverse swept and gets a boundary! No signs of any nerves there. GAW 77-3 after 10 overs | Dwayne Bravo, highest wicket-taker in CPL history, is into the attack for TKR!
Ross Taylor attempts a slog-sweep of Narine and misses and could not get under it and the ball has hit the top of off-stump. A good innings of 33 comes to an end. GAW- 73/3 after 9.3 overs
He slogs Ali Khan for another four and races to 31 off 19 balls! Good partnership building between Ross Taylor and Shemron Hetmyer. Meanwhile, in the over before Taylor was dropped by Pollard was at first slip. GAW- 70/2 from 9 overs
Ross Taylor has joined the party in the Caribbean! In typical fashion he sweeps Fawad Ahmed over the ropes! GAW- 48/2 after 7 overs. Meawnhile, Jayden Seales into the attack. He's an exciting talent so lets see what he can do at senior level
Sunil Narine strikes! Hemraj tried to work it on the leg side and a leading-edge is pouched into his hands. Brilliant over by Narine! Just three runs off it and a wicket too. GAW- 25/2 in 4 overs. (Hetmyer 15*, Taylor 1*)
And its a boundary! That is the first four in a T20 after the pandemic. Ali Khan was guilty of pitching it short and Hetmyer pulls it over the mid-wicket region.
Brandon King and C Hemraj are at the crease. Brandon King is on strike. Ali Khan will open the attack. OUT! WICKET in the first over itself. King slices it towards backward point and is caught. Ali Khan with the breakthrough. GAW- 3/1 after 1 over
