A century from Nicholas Pooran helped Trinbago Knight Riders thrash Guyana Amazon Warriors by 74 runs in their final group match at Providence Stadium.

However, it was not good enough to earn TKR a top two finish heading into playoffs, which means the Knight Riders face Barbados Royals in Tuesday night's eliminator.

TKR made 211 for 5, before dismissing the Amazon Warriors for 137.
Transcript
00:00TQR won the toss and chose to bat against Guyana Amazon Warriors in the final group
00:04match of the Republic Bank CPL at the Providence Stadium.
00:09Shakir Paris was bowled by Guyana captain Imran Tahir for no score.
00:15Nicholas Puran came to the wicket and started off positively.
00:22Puran and Jason Roy put on a stand of 152 with a Western East cricketer being the aggressor.
00:29Roy also started playing his shots after a while.
00:38Fast forwarding to the momentous occasion as this single saw Puran achieving a century
00:42from 57 deliveries.
00:44It was his third in T20 cricket.
00:49Shamar Joseph removed Roy for 34 and then Puran for 101 with Shea Hope taking both catches.
00:56Joseph took his third by castling Tim David for a Golden Duck.
01:01Casey Carty with an unbeaten 27 and Karen Pollard with 19 not out took TQR to a healthy
01:07211 for 5 from 20 overs.
01:11When the Amazon Warriors responded, Kevlon Anderson was leg before to Nathan Edward for
01:151.
01:17It was only given by the umpire after being reviewed upstairs.
01:23Ramanura Gurbaz and Shea Hope then put on 58 for the second wicket in under 6 overs.
01:31Hope was out for 28 with Aqeel Hussain striking.
01:37Waqar Salam Khail then removed Gurbaz for 36 and Shimron Hetmai for 9 in the same over.
01:45Then Terence Hines also grabbed 2 in one over to make it 76 for 6.
01:52How about a third for Salam Khail?
01:57Let DRS be the judge and so it was as Dwayne Pretorius made a duck with the Amazon Warriors
02:03in tatters.
02:07Seems like Hines was copying Salam Khail as he then took his third by having Moeen Ali
02:12caught behind.
02:15Then came the moment when Guyana qualified in the top 2.
02:18With 104 being the original target, these overthrows took the score to 107 for 8.
02:24Gudakesh Moti and Skipper Tahir were pleased.
02:31Moti lived a charmed life.
02:32Here he was dropped by Hines who hurt himself and had to leave the field adding insult to
02:37injury.
02:41Their 49 run partnership ended when Tahir was caught for 20 to give Edward his second
02:46wicket.
02:48Take that 3 for Edward as Shemar Joseph was castled for a golden duck with Moti stranded
02:53on 26.
02:54Guyana-Amazon Warriors were bowled out for 137 in 18.5 overs and lost by 74 runs.
03:01However, they play St. Lucia Kings while TKR meet Barbados Royals in their eliminator.
