6.41pm So after winning 11 games in CPL 2019 and not losing a single game, Guyana Amazon Warriors need to post the highest-ever successful chase in a CPL final to win the 2019 season. They've lost four times in the CPL final already - so will be interesting to see if ghosts of the past come back to haunt them.
As for Tridents, 171 is a fair score after the start they got from Alex Hales and Johnson Charles. Salt was unlucky to be out for a duck, and despite two run-outs in the middle overs, it was No. 7 Jonathan Carter who came to the party, striking 50 in 27 balls.
PDP will be back in 5 minutes with the chase. You don't want to miss this.
Jonathan Carter: Was waiting to show myself to the world. Got the opportunity. Had a chat with Duminy about staying still, so learnt a thing or two for him. Simmons (coach) told me not to worry about the run-out and continue batting the way I was. We, the Tridents, will fight to the end."
Liam: "Not over yet!! Brandon King will have a say yet I feel"
opportunity for Carter to get a well deserved half-century
Final over. Highest successful chase in CPL final is 148, on this ground. Tridents are way past that. Can they get 15 more and touch 170? Romario with the ball

Rufus Bones: "Hi, is Rufus bones here..I just bet a man here at GT bar, 1, case rum and 2, case beer..warrior win it.."
Vinod Rajpal: "Prediction time : I will go for 149 !!"
Almas Ahmed: "Trust in your partners is crucial for preventing runouts in such circumstances. In national team, Shakib played so many matches with Mushfiq and Mahmudullah, they never miss opportunities for an extra run"
Laks: "u dont want low scoring game for finals, that said, u dont want 200+ either, this game shaping up for a nice finish, so we can witness eventful 2nd innings"

Prasu: "C.Maharaj deserves a shot at MoS too, 300+runs at 125SR, got wkts too with ball (5)"
Tridents coach Phil Simmons: "Never good to gift two wickets away to run-outs. But still four overs to go. We need to get better than 160. Better wicket that the one two nights ago. GAW seamers have bowled well, but so do well."
