That’s it from our coverage of this thrilling contest between two evenly matched sides. The Antigua & Barbuda Falcons held their nerves to secure their first win of the season. TKR would be kicking themselves as it was a chasable total and they failed to get over the line.

Antigua & Barbuda Falcons are thanking their fans after their last home game. The players are having a winning lap with the flag of Antigua.
Kieron Pollard (Trinbago Knight Riders Captain): "It was a good game of cricket. In the end, we just fell short by 7 runs. We fought hard and I think, we were sloppy on the field, where we could have done better. Just feel we let ourselves down with the fielding.
It is about giving a couple of emerging talents an opportunity. Shaqkere Paris is there. He is elegant and plays classical way of cricket. He looked good. We also have Nathan Edwards. He is the produce of Under-19. We got two good ones.
We know games will come quickly when we go to Trinidad. We'll have a couple of days off, travel, rest, and then return to practice. It doesn't matter if we play consistently or inconsistently, we will be up for it."

Chris Green (Antigua & Barbuda Falcons Captain): "Immensely proud of the way we fought back. Four fielders in and then three in and then have to field with 10 players. It is great to see the team fought back the way we did. Luck was in our side tonight, good to get a win at home. Happy for our team and the fans.
As I said, hard to put it in words. It was very easy to be down and out after 0-4. But the way bowlers showed up a fight tonight was good to see. Amir, Primus had a tough time especially at the death overs. We are on the road now for 5 games, the equation is simple for us and just need to apply the knowledge."

Fabian Allen (POTM): "(On the win) Oh my god! We were searching for that win and were happy to get it tonight. I am ready to bat up the order, but wherever the team needs me to bat, I am happy to do so.
(On Pooran's dismissal) When you take such catches, especially of the best T20 batter in the world, you have to celebrate and I am grateful that I could take it.
I just wanted to bowl in the right areas and get the results. We were looking for 180, but 170-odd is good on this wicket, and we defended well.
(Speaking about crowd) I am grateful for the crowd; they supported us right through."

8:11 AM IST & 10:41 PM Local Time: Roshon Primus is the hero for the Antigua & Barbuda Falcons, successfully defending 12 runs in the final over to secure their first win after four defeats. TKR were choked in the middle by some brilliant bowling by the Falcons as they played 53 dot balls in their innings. The Falcons got a red card and had to bowl the last over with just 10 fielders on the field but they held their nerves and got over the line.

Fakhar Zaman made 38 off 26 but the pressure from the end created by Roshon Primus, who struggled to get the big hits away, got to him as he perished trying to up the ante.
Imad Wasim played a fine knock of 46 off 29 and a cameo by Fabian Allen down the order, an unbeaten 25 off 11, helped the Falcons to post their highest total of the season - 176/6 from 20 overs.
In reply, Sunil Narine departed for a four-ball duck. Andries Gous made 39 off 33 and Shaqreke Parris gave him good support with a knock of 31 off 28.
Nicholas Pooran fell for a golden duck but Keacy Carty and Kieron Pollard added 63 off 29 for the 5th wicket.
The lower order failed to get the big hits away under pressure and they fell short by 6 runs in the end.
Fabian Allen was the star with the ball, taking 3/23. Roshon Primus picked up 2/40 from his four overs. Mohammad Amir, Chris Green and Shamar Springer chipped in with a wicket each. Stay tuned for the post-match presentation.

19.6 R Primus to W Salamkheil
0 A big roar from Roshon Primus as he keeps his nerve under tremendous pressure to defend 14 off the final over! Maiden win in CPL for Antigua & Barbuda Falcons! The fans can cheer and dance as the Falcons manage to get out of the home leg with a victory! Back of a length delivery outside the off stump. Salamkheil walks a long way across for a scoop over fine leg but fails to connect, missing it to the keeper. First defeat for TKR in this season as the Falcons get over the line by 6 runs!
Waqar Salamkheil walks out to face the last ball of the match, if he hits this for a six, we are going to a Super Over.
Run out, Akeal Hosein is short of his crease. The square leg umpire sends it upstairs but Hosein looks in trouble. Billings fumbles it but the ball hits the stumps. Hosein is walking back.
19.5 R Primus to A Hosein
1W WICKETTT!!! RUN OUT! Akeal Hosein is a goner and that should be it! Back of a length outside the off stump. Hosein gets across and mistimes the pull to forward square leg. The batters complete a single. They want the second because Akeal need to be on strike. But the second run is not on. Hayden Walsh Jr runs across to his right from short fine leg and returns an awkward throw to the keeper. Billings fumbles but luckily for him and the Falcons, it deflects onto the stumps with Akeal nowhere near the frame. TV umpire checks it and its clean!
19.4 R Primus to J Little
1 Full on the stumps. Little smacks it to long on for a single and gets off the mark. Gives the strike back to Akeal Hosein.
Josh Little is the next man in for TKR.
