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"

Shepherd to Carter, 1 leg bye, length ball, outside leg stump, and he can't connect with the slog. Padded leg-side for a single and Barbados Tridents make 171 for 6

Shepherd to Carter, 2 runs, yorker, on leg stump, and dug away to the vacant region near midwicket. Bowler gives the ball a chase and that's enough time for Carter to scamper back for the second run. Fifty in only 26 balls

opportunity for Carter to get a well deserved half-century

Shepherd to Nurse, 2 runs, length ball, outside off, and he drags a flat-batted shot to wide long on. Excellent running

Shepherd to Nurse, FOUR, lucky! Full, very wide outside off, but the big man's height comes to use. Looks to slap it over cover but edges it through to the vacant third-man boundary instead

Shepherd to Nurse, SIX, that's outta here! Full, outside off, and he plants his back leg deep before transferring the power into his slog over wide long on

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

Paul to Carter, no run, yorker, just outside off. Nearly unplayable and Carter can't get any bat on it

Seventeen off the over already. Slight delay as we wait for the replaced ball

Paul to Carter, SIX, Duminy-esque! Length ball on leg, and he swivels before using his bottom hand to get the elevation on his pull. Another slower ball put away. Team 150 too

Paul to Nurse, 1 run, back of a length, on middle, and he drags a pulled shot behind square. Nurse thought it was going for four, but Tahir does well to stop the ball before recovering to throw it back. They could've had a second run if Nurse didn't assume that was a boundary shot

Laughlin to Carter, 2 runs, low full toss on leg, and mistimed to long on. But Hetmyer kicks the ball away trying to pick it up, and that allows the batsmen to pinch the second run. Will that one run come to haunt GAW at the end of the evening?

Laughlin to Carter, 1 wide, back of a length slower ball on middle. Carter takes the risk and offers no shot as the ball soars over him. Wide given, rightly so

Laughlin to Carter, SIX, What an effort from Hetty! Full on off, and Carter falls prey to the slower ball trying to go over the top. Mistimes a shot over Laughlin, and Hetmyer is getting under it at long-on, but the ball is going past him, so he tries to cup it back into play. Does well to parry it back, but unfortunately his show is touching the rope during the action

Vinod Rajpal: "Prediction time : I will go for 149 !!"

Laughlin to Nurse, 1 run, full, outside off stump. Drags a slog down to long on

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"
