That's all from us today. Hope you enjoyed coverage from game 1 of CPL 2021. Just over four hours for Barbados Royals vs St Kitts and Nevis Patriots. See you then!
Pooran, the winning captain: "I don't win tosses but toss doesn't decide results. That said, we wanted to start the season well since TKR are a good team. It was tough for us at the beginning, but we fought till the end. Hetty played well, as did Odean Smith. We thought if Odean plays he may bat at No. 8 but in the powerplay we thought he can do something at No. 3. On a track like this, our spinners did well, and we kept staying in the game with the wickets. Bit disappointed with our last over with the ball."
Pollard, the losing captain: "I thought we gave them too many runs, dropped a few catches at the back end. Then we lost wickets in clusters. Only have ourselves to blame for not getting over the line. I knew 140 to chase, we were right in the game despite how the wicket might have played. Positives are we bowled well for 18 overs, Ramdin and Seifert had a good batting day."
srik: "If not for that 19th over maiden over, this game could've been very very interesting. "
Odean Smith is Player of the Match for his 2 for 10 with the ball and 15-ball 24 with the bat. "Wicket was not easy to bat on, wanted to just make full use. My message was to go out and go for it whenever the ball was in my area. It was difficult to bat on so I knew their batters would have it tough to. A win early on is a good opportunity to move forward strong. Let's see, hopefully (if he will bat at No. 3 again)
1.48pm Stick around for the presentation.
1.45pm The Trinbago Knight Riders lose their first game in over a season! Defending champs were unbeaten last season and they won the toss here too. But a sensational half-century on a tricky deck from Shimron Hetmyer put Amazon Warriors on top at the half-way stage. After that, Tahir, Shepherd, Smith, Nedd and the others kept Knight Riders under pressure through the chase with regular wickets. An excellent first game to kickstart proceedings in CPL 2021.
David: "Hosein done well for net run rate, it might be important "

Naveen-ul-Haq to Rampaul, OUT
top edged and taken by the keeper running towards third man. Shortish ball outside off, and the swipe takes the edge that popped right up

Naveen-ul-Haq to Hosein, 1 run
the free hit goes straight to cow corner for a catch. In the slot, on off, and clubbed to the fielder in the boundary. Hosein thought he was out, the fielder thought too, but Naveen remembered and asked for the ball back in a jiffy
32 off 6 becomes 25 off 6.

oh dear, you don't want to start with a waist-high full toss in the last over. Wide outside off, and slapped over the leg side for six! No ball too

Shepherd to Rampaul, no run
good length just outside leg stump. Rampaul backs away to slog leg side. Misses, and just past leg stump to the keeper! Wicket maiden for Romario
wicket maiden coming up?
18.5
•
Shepherd to Rampaul, no run
back of a length outside leg. Rampaul moves to the leg side to look and swat a pull over deep midwicket. But no connection
18.4
•
Shepherd to Rampaul, no run
short ball on leg and he tries to pull. Misses, and hits him near the helmet. But Rampaul is alright. Not a very fast delivery from Shepherd. It was a semi-slower ball bouncer
18.3
•
Shepherd to Rampaul, no run
good length, over the stumps, just outside leg. Mistimed flick right onto his body
Curse of the Nelson?
18.2
W
Shepherd to Ramdin, OUT
holes out! And that surely is curtains. Ramdin walks across to the off side expecting a wide yorker, and that's what it is. Ramdin connects well with a shot to take it over the bowler's head, but it just does not have the elevation to beat the experienced Malik at long on

Shepherd to Ramdin, no run

Naveen-ul-Haq to Hosein, no run
what a ball! Late movement in the air as this yorker zips in just outside off. Moving away in the air, and Hosein is playing down the wrong line

slower ball. Good length outside off. Slaps it to cover point

Naveen-ul-Haq to Ramdin, FOUR runs
full and wide outside off. A poor ball first up, and clattered over cover! Ramdin gets the bottom hand in play to get it up and over
Thirteen needed per over. Naveen has two. Shepherd has two. Smith has two. Pooran has set himself up well for the last three. Remember Naveen was the highest wicket-taker in UK's Vitality Blast.
