00:00Trinbego Knight Riders won the toss and put Antigua and Barbuda Falcons into bat in their
00:10Republic Bank CPL match in Therouba. It was a poor start by the Falcons as Mohamed Amir
00:15removed both Rakeem Cornwall and Kareem O'Gore for not in the first over.
00:19Jewel, Andrew and Andrus Hauss then put on a partnership of 46.
00:23Hauss and Shakibal Hassan both fell cheaply to Akhil Hussain.
00:37Then it was the turn of Andrew Russell to strike by removing Andrew for Forte and Fabian Allen
00:41for North. 71 for 3 soon became 71 for 6 and the Falcons were in a pickle.
00:47Captain Imad Wasim and Osama Amir had to do the repair work for the Falcons.
00:52They put on a partnership worth 64 for the 7th wicket.
00:54Well this one is cracked, very high and handsomely.
00:59Mir was caught for 34 giving Amir his third scalp.
01:03Pallad is encroaching, big hands, doesn't drop it.
01:07Wasim was unbeaten on 37 as the Antigua and Barbuda Falcons closed on 146 for 7.
01:14When TKR responded, Alex Hales made a positive start.
01:18He lost opening partner Colin Munro for 9 and it became 27 for 1.
01:25Hales and new batsman Casey Carty then rebuilt the innings without being bogged down.
01:31The Knight Riders cleared the ropes for the first time in the 12th over courtesy Carty.
01:39He also reached his half century with a hit for the maximum.
01:46Carty was bowled by Jaden Seals for 60 or 45 balls.
01:50Captain Nicholas Puran joined Hales and the two would see them home.
01:57Hales got his 50 with a boundary of Salman Irshad.
02:04TKR got the win in style to be unbeaten on 23 while Hales made 55 not out.
