That's all from our side for this game. Hope you enjoyed our coverage. See you soon.

Pollard: I am very pleased. We needed to bounce back. We lost by a couple of runs in the last game, you talk about small margins in T20 cricket. I wanted to give myself some time and try to capitalise. With Seifert coming in, it changed the momentum for us. We knew they would come hard in the powerplay, so it was all about managing that.

Faf du Plessis: I think we lost in the last five overs of the first innings. We played really well up until the last three overs. It was not easy to score off, especially off spinners. Polly hung in there till the end and then got the bowling. We tried to follow the same blueprint but the asking rate climbed up too much. Williams bowled from the other end, didn't play the previous game but came back well.

Kieron Pollard is the Player of the Match. "Sometimes you have to take initiative," he says. "I knew if I go in early, I could make a difference. Seifert came in and carried forward the confidence from the last game."

1.40pm The scorecard will say Andre Fletcher scored 81* off 55 balls but for the most part of his innings, we has scoring at run a ball. The slow start eventually cost St Lucia Kings; by the end of the tenth over, the asking rate had climbed to 12 on a pitch where the ball gripped and spun. Apart from Fletcher and Mark Deyal (14 off 11), all the Kings batters scored at under run a ball. Narine and Hosein were miserly, Udana was wily with his slower ones while Rampaul struck thrice, including Tim David's wicket for a first-ball duck.
