- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR0.1 Bowled'em with a magnificent yorker ball! A dream start for the Tridents and Sams! He nails a pinpoint, inswinging yorker right on the off stump. Cornwall tries to play it off the front foot with virtually no footwork, missing the line completely as the ball crashes into the base of the off stump. Sams sprints off to celebrate with his teammates! 0/110.3 Uprooted the leg stump! Fourth bowled out dismissal tonight for the Falcons! Quicker arm ball on a fuller length. Jangoo shuffles across early to play it through the midwicket region, misses the line and length completely, and the bails are flying! Coach Paul Nixon shakes his head in disbelief. 63/45.4 Mujeeb has the last laugh! Slower through the air ball angling in on the stumps, Gore strides out of the crease and attempts to hoick it through midwicket, misses the floated ball and sneaks through the bat-pad to disturb the furniture. 39/28.6 Simmonds strikes! Hard length ball on the fourth stump channel, Nawaz hangs back and tries to guide this one to the deep third area, gets cramped for space and drags it onto the stumps with the inside part of the bat. Soft dismissal! 56/313.1 Caught and bowled! Mujeeb uses his array of variations and deceives the man in form! Good length ball flighted on the stumps, leans towards the line of the ball and tries to push it across the line to midwicket, closes the face of the bat early and chips the ball off the leading edge, gifts a simple catch back to the bowler. 80/5Extras13 (b 1, lb 6, w 6)TOTAL155/5 (20 Overs, RR: 7.75)Fall of wickets: 1-0 (Rahkeem Cornwall, 0.1 ov), 2-39 (Karima Gore, 5.4 ov), 3-56 (Hasan Nawaz, 8.6 ov), 4-63 (Amir Jangoo, 10.3 ov), 5-80 (Shadab Khan, 13.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR5.3 Edged and gone! 147.1 kph sheer pace from Joseph. Bowls a fuller length ball angling away outside off and Carter tries to blast it away, gets the thickish outside edge and Jangoo does the rest behind the stumps. Seales once again walks towards the batter and throws a few words. 41/23.5 Brathwaite's struggle ends tonight with the bat! 146 kph banged in short pitched ball, plays the swivel pull shot as he takes his eye sight away from the ball, connects the outside part of the bat and miscues a regulation catch to Moeen Ali at cover. Seales rushes to the batter from mid-off and sends a few words. 28/17.3 Massive wicket this one! Looped up a length ball pitching outside off, gets down on one knee and plays the slog sweep away from the body, fails to get inside the line of the ball and splices a simple catch to short third. 54/313.2 Clarke bites the dust! Tossed up a fuller length ball, sits down on the track and plays the slog sweep half-heartedly towards the wind, picks out Joseph at deep midwicket region 93/612.5 Did it carry to the fielder there? Springer is unsure. Back of a length ball and Anderson swings for the big slog sweep, taking it off the inner part of the bat straight to deep midwicket. The ball dips quickly, but Springer dives full stretch to get his fingertips underneath and pouch it. The third umpire reviews the catch through slow motion from multiple angles. Hang on - it looks like the ball might have touched the grass right after Springer grabbed it! But no, he took it cleanly after all! The crowd goes berserk as the big screen displays OUT! 93/412.6 Rutherford has thrown his wicket away! A bouncer ball and Rutherford go for the swivel pull shot, hitting it to the right of the deep fine leg. The substitute fielder, Phillips, rushes to his right and gobbles up a running catch - a brilliant piece of fielding! James is on a hat-trick now. 93/513.4 Caught at long on! Slower through the air ball in the slot, goes for the big heave stroke and plays it too early, lofts it straight to Seales near the ropes for a regulation catch there. 95/716.3 fuller length ball darted outside off, tries to flay it over the cover infield, toe-ends the ball high in the air towards deep cover. The sweeper fielder comes around and gobbles it up. 114/817.5 100th T20 wicket for Sufyan Moqim! Short of a length ball and goes for the big heave stroke across the line, miscues it towards deep square leg and the sweeper fielder pouches it 125/917.6 Cleaned him up! Done him with the googly! Simmonds goes for a slog sweep across the line, gets nowhere near the ball, and watches his middle-leg bails fly. Celebrations erupt for the Falcons as the dugout and the stands go wild for the home team. Chris Green, the Tridents' skipper, remains unbeaten at the non-striker's end, watching the dramatic collapse unfold helplessly and shaking his head in disbelief. The Falcons now head out for a lap of honor, clapping towards the home crowd; a touch of class! 125/10Extras11 (lb 4, w 7)TOTAL125 all out (18 Overs, RR: 6.94)Fall of wickets: 1-28 (Shian Brathwaite, 3.5 ov), 2-41 (Zachary Carter, 5.3 ov), 3-54 (Quinton de Kock, 7.3 ov), 4-93 (Kevlon Anderson, 12.5 ov), 5-93 (Sherfane Rutherford, 12.6 ov), 6-93 (Rivaldo Clarke, 13.2 ov), 7-95 (Gudakesh Motie, 13.4 ov), 8-114 (Daniel Sams, 16.3 ov), 9-125 (Mujeeb Ur Rahman, 17.5 ov), 10-125 (Ramon Simmonds, 17.6 ov)
