00:00Trinbevo Night Riders have kept their chances alive for a fifth title after hammering Antigua
00:05and Barbuda Falcons by nine wickets in their Republic Bank CPL Eliminator.
00:09Captain Nicholas Puran was named man of the match for his unbeaten 90 of 53 balls.
00:14Eliminator is Eliminator.
00:15As I said in the press conference, it's different cricket, it's a playoff cricket, it's a different
00:18energy, it's a different atmosphere.
00:22In our dressing room, we know what it takes to play these games, we've been in this position
00:26before and for us, it's all about responsibility and taking it, holding each other accountable.
00:31Emotions are going to come out by the end of the day, we will do everything we need to win this game.
00:36While he was pleased with his own knock, Puran is not getting carried away.
00:40Instead, he wants to focus on what's ahead since the Night Riders are two wins away from the coveted trophy.
00:46And for me, it doesn't really matter because we got the job done.
00:49For me, I could have got all that first ball and win a different game.
00:52But again, just being there to the end, getting that point, putting this game behind us and going forward.
00:57Because again, we want to take every game as it comes, one game at a time.
01:02Obviously, we have a job to do and it's not complete yet.
01:04So we want to continue to improve, continue to get better.
01:06Falcons captain Imad Wasim was proud that his side made it this far
01:11after failing to qualify for the playoffs in their debut season last year.
01:15But looking at this game, he felt 166 was not sufficient.
01:20Look, I think the wicket was good. We had 20 runs short, I guess.
01:26I think seven wickets, eight wickets in hand, we should have gone harder.
01:30But unfortunately, that's not the case. Having said that,
01:32I think we played really good cricket throughout the tournament.
01:35The Falcons played a total of 11 matches with five wins, five losses and a new result.
