So that marks the end of our coverage as well. Hope you have enjoyed the exciting encounter between Trinbago Knight Riders and Barbados Royals where TKR clinched a 133 run victory, the heaviest by the margin of runs in the Caribbean Premier League history.

This is Saptak Sanyal, taking your leave on the behalf of my co-commentator Ayan Chatterjee and our scorer/analyst Vishnu Verma and Chandan Kumar Singh. Have a good day!
Kieron Pollard(Trinbago Knight Riders Captain): "Yes, of course. And when we don't deliver, a lot of headlines are made. Proud of the performance today. Martin was excellent and carried his bat to get us the win. I played according to the situation and played conservatively. I rotated the strike and then went big in the end. The plan came together. Waqar bowled well and we dropped Jayden Seales and others. We are happy. Thanks for the support as always and the fans are our 12th man. It is all about enjoyment and entertaining everyone and glad that we entertained them. I am chuffed with my side's performance."    
Rovman Powell(Barbados Royals Captain)- "I think it was not our best so far. We need to go to better bowling plans. Kieron Pollard was there and we wanted not to bowl leg spin and that backfied but that happens. I think decision of bowling first was good and credit to Martin Guptill and Kieron Pollard for excellent batting. We need to improve 10-15% in the next game. I think our team can really comeback well as our youngsters can contribute."
Martin Guptill(Player of the Match)- "We had a bit of time out there and got some time for preparation. I think that was good for us.

I started a bit slowly and then played some fantastic shots. My captain told me to continue the partnership. We knew that we had some dangerous players and if we can execute we can finish well.

Our bowlers did really well. A wicket first ball means that you can build pressure right from the start and that's what we did. Bowlers did a fantastic job."

7:28 AM IST, 9:58 PM Local Time: A comprehensive win for Trinbago Knight Riders as they thrash the Barbados Royals at Kensington Oval in Barbados by 133 runs. This is the heaviest defeat in CPL history as TKR have outplayed the home team in all facets of the game and boost their Net Run Rate by a big way while Royals suffer a huge dent on their NRR.  

Chasing a target of 195 for the win, Royals never got going and lost wickets at regular intervals. They just lost wickets in clumps and dished out a disappointing batting display. Jason Holder scored 14, Skipper Rovman Powell scored 10 while Qais Ahmad scored 10 off 9 and remained unbeaten in the end. The rest of the bowlers went for single digits. 4 extras given by the fielding side as they were bundled out for 61 in 12.1 overs. 

A sensational bowling display by TKR bowlers as it was a near perfect game for them. Andre Russell started it by taking 3 wickets for 13 runs in 2 overs. Akeal Hosein got a couple of wickets for 16 runs in 4 overs. Waqar Salamkheil came in and stole the show with his figures of 4/14 in 3.1 overs. And a wicket for Sunil Narine as well as he finished with 1/11 in 2 overs. All in all, a great bowling display by the visitors. 

Earlier in the game, Trinbago Knight Riders rode on an unbeaten 100* off 58 balls from Martin Guptill to post a mammoth 194/5 in 20 overs. Guptill carried his bat today. Mark Deyal chipped in with 27 off 19 balls. Skipper Kieron Pollard chipped in with a valuable 46 off 32 balls. 10 extras were given by the fielding side as they ended with 194/5 in 20 overs.  

Jason Holder was once again the pick of the bowlers with figures of 2/39 in 4 overs. A wicket apiece for Qais Ahmad and Roelof van der Merwe. The rest of the bowlers went wicketless and were taken to the cleaners. It was a bad bowling performance and an equally abject batting display by the Royals tonight. A night to forget for them.

So, a win by 133 runs for TKR over the Royals as they enter the top 4 of the points table. Stick around for the presentations that comes your way now.   
12.1 W Salamkheil to O McCoy
W That's the game!! Final breakthrough here! McCoy received it full, on off-middle line. He came on front foot and swung his bat hard to loft the ball high towards deep midwicket but not in a handsome manner. Fielder settled under the ball and grabbed it safe. Heaviest victory ever in the Caribbean Premier League history!
