Scorer: Ranjith P | Commentator: @himanshu_a30
It was a see-sawing contest in the end: Tallawahs were dominating 12 overs into the chase, when they needed 40 from 48 balls with eight wickets in hand. Holder hit back with through multiple strikes, with Royals having recovered from 47 for 4 earlier. Thanks for joining us today, as a tight game comes to an end. Until tomorrow, it is good night and goodbye from Ranjith, Srinidhi and me, Himanshu!
Imad Wasim is the Player of the Match: "Today was a good game for both teams. [Worried] slightly... We knew Rovman was in. He is the right guy. I know him since 2015 - lovely chap, one of the best players in the world..."
2.32pm So Tallawahs win by six runs via DLS, as the umpires have concluded that there will be no play as rain continues. This means Royals suffer first defeat of the season.
2.30pm There is still no sign of play in Port of Spain, as rain falls steadily. Remember, Tallawahs will win by six runs via DLS method if no play is possible from here.
Steve: "So, is it the case that if play had been suspended a mere 3 balls earlier Royals would have pulled off a spectacular win (assuming no more play)?" --- Who knows, but Tallawahs did manage a crucial nine runs off those three balls...
2.09pm It is pouring and pounding, as we keep waiting for the action to resume. Looks like a long delay is inevitable.
Tyrell: "Jangoo and King's innings at the top really came in clutch and shows the importance of a good start especially in chases like this."
Bibek Pokharel: "Jamaica tallawahs wins By 6 Runs ????" --- Hmmm... Unless rain stops and there is more drama on the field
1.58pm Simmonds back for his third, as it gets dark and gloomy. And covers come on... Tallawahs six runs ahead of the DLS par score, so that six from Powell playing a big role should there be no further play. And like during the previous rain break, it is time to again take you to Sheriff vs United. Ronaldo has scored after all...
Afeef: "BR showing why they've been unbeatable this season, making a match out of what looked like a lost cause"
Powell on 5 off 16...
Sarah: "If Royals manage to win this somehow... " --- They will make it seven out of seven...
He runs in, but doesn't bowl right at the time of delivery. To be reloaded. Deep backward square leg in place.
Wasim in. He got three wickets earlier, now he must do it with the bat. Holder around the wicket.
"I see a bit of myself in him," Lewis says of Rahmanullah Gurbaz, who he is expected to open with at Sharjah Warriors in the ILT20
Mohammad Amir emerges as the most impactful bowler despite finishing behind Alzarri Joseph on the wicket-takers' chart
The team has two Pakistanis and two South Africans - one of whom is now playing for Namibia - making up the overseas contingent
"The guys were very hungry, and everything just came out right during the final"
Despite losing key players before and during the tournament, King, Allen, Powell and Gordon stepped up to prove the experts wrong
