That's all from our side for this game. Thanks for joining us. See you soon.
Holder: We didn't bat well. You want to show intent but we couldn't do that. We have a couple of days to turn it around. We definitely need to look ourselves in the mirror after this game.
Walton: Too close for comfort for me but thankful for the win. It was a decision between me and Chris to give Smith the last over. We knew if we could take Raymon off strike, it would be easier for us. We want to take one game at a time. Our net run rate is not the best. So we just need to win and hope for the best.
Springer: Was too close for comfort. A bit nervy in the end. We just have to take one game at a time and play positive cricket.
Shamar Springer is the Man of the Match.
Time for the post-match presentation.
10.17pm What a seesawing game. Tallawahs were 78 for 7 at one stage but Ramaal Lewis pushed them to 127. Tridents started casually, no one really taking responsibility. They kept losing wickets while scoring more or less at run a ball. Panic set in when the asking rate climb north of nine. Imran Khan got the crucial wicket of Holder, while Springer removed Nurse. Reifer scored a desperate 26 off 12 to give Tridents a semblance of hope but that didn't prove enough in the end.
A six needed. Lamichhane has never hit one in his career
