00:04Republic Bank CPL match in Taruba.

00:07And it was a poor start with the openers gone cheaply.

00:13Shea Hope would try to bring some respectability to the innings.

00:22It soon became 29-3 inside the power play, with Terence Hines sending Mohen Ali back

00:27to the dugout.

00:28That's 70-for-5 as Akhil Hussain ended with three wickets to put pressure on the opposition

00:50There was plenty of action in the final over, with the Amazon Warriors losing two wickets.

00:55And then captain Imran Tahir hit the final ball for a maximum, to take his side to 163-9.

01:07When TKR responded, they got off to a flyer courtesy Colin Munro and Alex Hales.

01:35Then he sent captain Nicholas Puran and Casey Carty both for no score in the same over.

01:40How about a fourth for Tahir later on, as Hales went for 74 of 43 deliveries.
