That's it from this game then! CPL action continues on Thursday! It is the big game, the Knight Riders will be taking on Guyana. That match begins at 0430 IST (2300 GMT). Till then, goodbye and take care!
Rovman Powell says it was a very good home leg and the crowd has supported them really well. Mentions they have played some really good cricket and they'll look to continue the momentum. He's happy with the way Cornwall performed. Thanks the crowd for the way they have supported them.
Andre Fletcher says they weren't up for this. Admits things are just getting worse. Says they need to find ways to win and they'll look to do so in the remaining two games. Adds they need to get out of this bad patch and they need to back themselves.
Rahkeem Cornwall has been given the MAN OF THR MATCH AWARD! He says he backed himself and it came good. States he enjoyed all his wickets and just wanted to put the balls in the right areas. Mentions they are doing well as a team and want to keep the good work up. Ends by thanking the fans for their support.
The visitors just didn’t have enough on the board. In the field, their body language looked down and they just weren’t up for it. They’ll be disappointed with the ease they let Barbados chase this down but can’t really blame the bowlers as they hardly had anything to defend.
Quite an easy win for the hosts and it was never in doubt after the first innings. Cornwall’s fifer helped them keep their opposition down to a low score and then it was all about de Kock. He got good support from Alleyne and Athanaze but he was the mainstay. A fine fifty from him again and they have chased this down in a canter which would help them boost their NRR.
