That's it from us today. From myself, Rvel Zahid, and my co-commentator Rashad Mahbub, it's goodbye and goodnight. Thanks for joining us and we'll see you next time

Shadab Khan, Player of the Match: It was amazing, always. Last game as well, and I think they are amazing. They make an atmosphere where we can enjoy it, and I think they were amazing as always. I think they're the legends of the game. If I do something special for them, I think it's amazing, and it's a great feeling because they've done so much for Antigua. If I give a little bit of happiness to them, I think it's amazing for me. I think definitely both, because when I started bowling, there was so much dew today and it was getting wet. I think I controlled it very well, and after that, when I came in batting, we needed a proper finishing role. I think, Alhamdulillah, I did an amazing job. I think how KP played, because he gave me confidence as well, and because one side is too much wind, I think he did an amazing job as well. I think Guyana is always a very good team, and I think we have the momentum. Hopefully, we continue with that because tomorrow again we have a game. Hopefully, how we played today, we'll do the same stuff. Antigua fans, I came here for the first time, but how you create the atmosphere, it's amazing. Whoever's watching on TV, I request for you guys to come here and give us a boost tomorrow as well. Hopefully, we will give you happiness.

Antigua and Barbuda Falcons (ABF) started off in a clumsy manner when Rahkeem Cornwall started with a couple of fours and a six, but got run out in a very unfortunate fashion. Then Amir Jangoo hung around and tried to stabilise the ship, but kept losing his partners until Kusal Perera took control. However, the asking rate was still pretty high. Then the clutch player, Shadab Khan, took his guard and said, "What's all the fuss about?" He went berserk, all guns blazing. It was like nothing could get through his defense. He was even more devastating against pace, coming down the track and hitting down the ground insolently, whacking the ball all over the park and timing it impeccably. In the end, ABF won quite comfortably. It was stuff of the legends; such clean hitting, such authority, mastery over the bowlers. He used the wind in his favour and really took a liking to Hinds and Edwards towards the end. This innings is one for the memory vault!

Hinds to Shadab Khan, SIX, Woo hoo hooo! This is insane but there is a method in the madness! Flogs him for a straight six, dances down the track and manufactures pace for himself to pump a six down the ground, he has put this game to bed in a matter of few overs! That has to be one of the best knocks of his career! My word, 52 off 20 balls; what did we just witness? He came, saw and conquered! Ballistic strokeplay, and both Trinbago and the crowd have been left stunned!

Pollard to Shadab Khan, 1 run, Threatens to Mankad and smiles it off, now comes again from over the wicket, tennis short ball outside off, heaved into the air and it dropped short of the man at deep midwicket, are we gonna see a Super Over, tonight?

Edward to Perera, (no ball) 1 run, Oh, he falls down while connecting on the pull, it was a dangerously high full-toss, young man is under a lot of pressure, he has bowled a no-ball, free-hit coming up, Perera lost his balance but then quickly got up and ran a little before stopping, he got hit on the finger and is getting the magic spray. This a tough learning curve for Edward and he cannot bowl any further because it's the second high full-toss, he has been taken out of the attack. Gets a pat on the back from Hinds; it's alright, that is franchise cricket for you, there are going to be bad days which give an opportunity for introspection, reflection and moments that can teach you a lot and spark greatness in the years to come

Edward to Perera, FOUR, That is poor stuff, young man is under the pump, that's a delivery filled with anger and frustration, dug in short on middle, it's too straight and he was never going to miss out, both guys have heaps of experience, he lifts his front leg like a ballet dancer and whacks the pull to deep fine leg

Edward to Shadab Khan, 1 run, Is that another one? He is picking the line and length so quickly, shorter and angled wide of off, he moves swiftly across his stumps again and pulls it in the air, and the ball lands short of the fielder at deep midwicket

Edward to Shadab Khan, SIX, Oh my goodness! This is head-spinning batting! unbelievable, stuff of the legends, low full-toss on middle, once again, he jockeys across off and sweeps it all the way, clears deep square with ease and he has caused delirium in the stands! Big meeting underway between Pollard and Edward, senior men giving him all sort of advice. Shadab has turned the game on its head, only 19 required, what an over, fantastic hitting

Edward to Shadab Khan, SIX, Around the wicket, good-ish length and angling into his hitting arc, bit too full, in-fact on a second look it's almost a half-volley on off, he gets behind the line and clobbers it with disdain, hits it straight like an arrow and it is such a timely six, marvelous temperament and he is showing nerves of steel, very experienced.
