Full commentary

Barbados Royals win by 45 runs to keep their semi-finals hopes alive and give the net run-rate a bit of a boost with the margin of the result. A solid all-round display by the Royals who posed a strong total and then defended it efficiently in the field. Warriors were disappointing really and have the feel of a team faded towards the back end of the tournament. All Royals' bowlers took wickets, another three for the impressive Nyeem Young. Royals are still bottom of the table, but now only two points off fourth spot with three games left. I'll wrap things up there for today, we'll be back tomorrow for more action, so for now from Gnasher and Peter it's goodbye and thanks for joining us
