Saim Ayub, Player of the Match: I enjoy everything; the atmosphere and the people. It's just love. Nothing much. I think I just played with the flow and had some planning about what to do in the middle, which bowler to hit and which one not to hit, and just going sensible. I have teammates who are experts in hitting sixes, you know, so it makes it easier for me as well. Bowling is one thing I tell my teammates not to expect much from me. I'm going to enjoy that because I take too much pressure in batting, so I'm just enjoying my bowling. It's not in our hands. It's totally uncontrollable to get an injury, but to come back stronger is in our control. So I like to be positive all the time.

That over by Odean Smith must have scared the bejesus out of Powell! I mean, he nearly botched it as Shanaka went berserk in the last over! The Patriots just haven't been able to pace the chase well, but they were up against a quality bowling attack, with the likes of Hunain, Ayub and Paul doing splendid jobs. They are just so hard to dominate. Saim's staggering 100 remains the standout performance. It was an innings of poise, class, balance and silky touch, oozing with his natural flair and arrayed with fantastic strokes. That ultimately proved to be the main difference between the two sides. He hit eight sixes in his innings (most in his T20 career)

19.6
1
Smith to Shanaka, 1 run, Good enough to keep him quiet, fuller and slanting into the pads, shoveled to long-on and Jamaica can exhale
19.5
0
Smith to Shanaka, no run, Gets it right, bowls a wide yorker and he pushes it to long-off; he and his teammates can breathe a sigh of relief. He is not getting another final over in this edition
19.4
6
Smith to Shanaka, SIX, Landed short around the line off, lifted his shoulder and into the heavens over deep backward square for a long six, Hunain and Blades both giving him advices and telling him to calm down
19.3
0
Smith to Shanaka, no run, Around the wicket, bowls it short around the line off, Shanaka cannot believe it, he is signaling that he had to jump and it's clearly high so he is baffled by the umpire's call
19.2
6
Smith to Shanaka, SIX, Man it's always a gamble handing over to Smith at this stage! Another shortish ball at middle, plants his front leg and it's a HEFTY BLOW, sent way over wide of long-on and it has disappeared into the atmosphere
19.1
6
Smith to Shanaka, SIX, Over the wicket, shorter in length and angling in at middle, a brilliant club over long-on! That's gone miles in the air! Need five more
