Right then, we are done with the first game of this season. But there is more coming your way. The second match of the day is between Barbados Tridents and St Kitts and Nevis Patriots. Do join us at 1730 local (2130 GMT) (0300 IST, Aug 19) for all the action. Cheers!
Kieron Pollard, the Trinbago skipper, says that it is important to start any tournament with a win. Admits that they were a little shabby and scratchy at the start but they will take the win. Adds that they have lost 3 times in a row to Guyana but that counted for nothing. States that they were thinking of giving Jayden Seales a chance to have a feel about how the tournament is like at the earliest. Tells that this is the hurricane season in the Caribbean but there can be no excuses and they will have to perform well whenever they get a chance.
Chris Green, the Guyana skipper, says that it was disappointing not to get the desired result but they will look to improve and he is looking forward to the next match. States that they thought that 140 would be a good score after losing a couple of early wickets. Goes on to say that King is a great character and he showed it in the field with his fielding, even though he dropped a catch.
For his all-round show in the match, SUNIL NARINE IS THE MAN OF THE MATCH! Says that Ross Taylor was playing really well and his skipper had faith in him to get Taylor's wicket and it worked. Adds that he just focused on the ball when batting. States that it is a good win and it means a lot to them as they have not played cricket for a long time. Goes onto add that the guys did a very good job and they will look to build on this win in the upcoming matches.
Guyana Amazon Warriors started well with the ball but then completely lost the plot when the Knight Riders attacked. They did manage to pick a few quick wickets towards the end and push this match into the final over but overall, their bowling was not up to the mark. Imran Tahir, Romario Shepherd and Chris Green were very expensive which never allowed any pressure to build on Trinbago. Earlier in the day, the Warriors were powered by the knock of Shimron Hetmyer but they didn't get enough kick at the death.
Chasing 145 on a slowish surface often turns out to be tricky. Guyana started brilliantly with the ball as there were 12 dots in the first 18 balls of the run chase and the score read only 9 runs after the first three overs. But then, the Knight Riders pressed on the accelerator and hammered 36 runs in the next 3. Having Sunil Narine open the batting also helped them as his fearless approach handed them quick runs. Although he was slow to get off the blocks, he more than made up for it by scoring a brisk half-century. His knock nearly put the chase to bed as there wasn't any scoreboard pressure post his departure.
A little too close for comfort but Trinbago Knight Riders have eventually crossed the line to win their season opener. It was an entertaining contest to begin the season and Caribbean Premier League is up and running in style. There was a delayed start in the beginning due to rain and wet outfield and this match was reduced to 17-overs-per-side but there was no shortage of quality cricket.

Naveen-ul-Haq to Dwayne Bravo ,WIDE! Appeal for caught behind but the umpire thinks otherwise and signals it a wide. Good length ball angling down the leg side, Dwayne looks to flick but misses. Pooran appeals but the umpire shakes his head and stretches his arms. 2 needed from 3 balls.
Sikandar Raza is the next man in.

Naveen-ul-Haq to Darren Bravo ,OUT! CAUGHT! Is there a twist in the tale? Darren Bravo cannot finish the job with his side still needing 3 runs to win from 3 balls. Slower delivery on off, Bravo looks to push but is early into the shot. He has to check his shot. It goes off the top half of the bat and towards covers and Hetmyer runs in to complete the catch with a dive.

Naveen-ul-Haq to Dwayne Bravo ,Just short! Slower short ball outside off, Dwayne looks to pull but is a little early into the shot. It takes the top edge and goes towards deep square leg. The ball lands short of the fielder and the batters take a single.

He dropped a simple one of Narine earlier in the game but now has taken a one-handed stunner. Just stunning. Keeping Guyana in the game with this catch. Good length ball outside off, Seifert looks to go over extra cover but it goes uppishly in that region. King runs across to his left from wide mid off and dives to take a one-handed blinder. 14 required from 11 balls. Guyana still holding on.

Pollard will be disappointed as he could have bashed it for a biggie but instead has found the fielder to perfection. Tahir bowls a full toss on the pads, Pollard, instead of thrashing it into the stands, looks to place it. He does so but uppishly and straight into the hands of Brandon King at long on. 23 needed from 17. Can Guyana make a comeback?

Poor Tahir, he was almost into his celebratory run. This brings up the fifty for Narine. Flighted ball on off, Narine looks to hammer it over long off but does not time it well. King runs ahead but spills the catch. This has been a magnificent innings from Narine and he is taking his side home. He has got a life now and would look to close the game.

He was one of the most economical bowlers in the last edition and would like to leave the same impact in this season as well.

Right then, it's not a typical T20 pitch where you can dominate right from the beginning. The surface is a bit sticky and on the slower side. The Knight Riders have a good batting line-up but they would need to approach the target carefully. Do join us in a short while for the chase.
Shimron Hetmyer is down for an interview. He says that it was pretty tough out there. Adds that it got a little better towards the end as it got a little pace on it. Says that Taylor played a tremendous innings and Pooran too helped. States that they can defend it but they need to bowl well.
Sunil Narine was the pick of the bowlers, unsurprisingly, and he broke the stand between Taylor and Hetmyer. Nicholas Pooran attacked from the word go and delivered a few lusty blows but his knock didn't last long. The Knight Riders bowled nicely towards the end, barring the last over and would be relatively pleased with their efforts on the field.
Excellent last over for Guyana Amazon Warriors has pumped their total close to the 150-run mark. It was a troubled start for them as they lost their openers cheaply but then, Ross Taylor walked in and played a brisk knock. His innings allowed Shimron Hetmyer time to settle down and their partnership propelled Guyana in the right direction.

He has taken the side to a good position and will look to go berserk now. Good length ball on middle, Hetmyer hammers it over deep mid-wicket for a maximum.

Jayden Seales to Nicholas Pooran ,OUT! CAUGHT! Seales has the last laugh! First wicket for him! Pooran's innings comes to an end. An important wicket as he can be dangerous in the last few overs. Seales dishes a low full toss very wide outside off, Pooran shuffles across and looks to heave it to the leg side. Since he has to reach out for it, Pooran is in no control of his shot. It takes the top edge and goes to Bravo at extra cover. He is not dropping those. Guyana's chances of having a big finish take a dive with this wicket.

This T20 extravaganza kicks off with two of the most consistent teams of this League crossing swords. The 3-time champions, Trinbago Knight Riders will be locking horns with five-time finalists Guyana Amazon Warriors. Kieron Pollard will continue to lead the Knight Riders in spite of Dwayne Bravo returning in the mix while the Aussie, Chris Green will have the command of the Guyana unit in the absence of Shoaib Malik. Both teams are stuffed with quality T20 players and would be looking to get off to a positive start.
Hello, folks! After all the delay due to rain and wet outfield, it's going to be a 17-overs-per-side game to inaugurate this season. Anyway, it's good to get some Caribbean flavour back in cricket. We're thrilled to have this tournament back despite all the existing issues globally. There would be certain star players missing from action due to various reasons but that won't take away the charm. The muscle power that the West Indian players bring to the game is extraordinary and the fans will be eagerly waiting to get entertained for the next few days.
