2.50pm That concludes our coverage for the first of today's three games. Tune in for Amazon Warriors vs Tallawahs shortly, with Peter Della Penna on commentary.

Faf: Hard to say with these things (his injury) probably need a scan. We'll see if I'm good to for tomorrow and the rest. It was a touch selection between Wiese and Samit, with the fingerspinners doing so well. He's an experienced guy with a lot of tricks with the ball. I've been on the good side and the bad side of NRR before, so we want to do well tomorrow and hopefully carry momentum into the semi-finals.

Holder:Much better wicket than the last one. Back end we weren't tight enough. Having said that, 175 was gettable. But that three-wicket over didn't help. We've struggled with getting runs this tournament, something to think about. We'll probably give some opportunities [to the bench players] tomorrow.

Wiese: Sometimes it just works out for you. Pitch had a bit of assistance for my type of bowling. Lot cross-seamers, slower balls, the pitch was gripping for the cutters, so perfect for me.

David Wiese is the Player of the Match.

2.40pm A little too close for comfort for the Kings in the end, but they had enough. This win puts them at ten points and in second place. The result also means we have one spot confirmed for sure - Barbados Royals will finish CPL 2021 in sixth place. The return fixture tomorrow will close off the league stages for both these teams and Royals will come into that just trying to better the Kings, whom they had on the mat at the start of the match. But a well-paced knock from Faf du Plessis and some fireworks from Tim David and Keemo Paul took them to 175 after the pitch started drying out. Royals then had a superb start themselves before Wiese came in and dismantled that chase with a three-wicket over. Holder and Hayden Walsh Jr. chipped away for them, but it would never be enough. Wiese finished with five wickets.

Wiese to Walsh, OUT, taken at short third and that is five for Wiese! Wahab lunges forward and takes it low. The soft signal is out. It's a slower ball, this time on a good length. He steps out and has a heave again. Thick outside edge this time and there's nothing to suggest on replay that Wahab didn't have his fingers under it

Some nerves, a tiny bit, for the Kings. Andre Fletcher is standing in for the injured Faf, he's had a chat with Wiese. 22 needed off the last over.

Wahab Riaz to Walsh, SIX, just clears deep midwicket. Attempted legcutter lands deliciously in the slot for the slog and he reaches out and gives that everything. And then the wind takes it over that fielder's stretched hand
