Tallawahs vs Trinbago, 21st Match at Tarouba, CPL, Sep 17 2022 - Match Result
Trinbago won by 4 wickets (with 5 balls remaining)
10.41 pm After such a dreadful start to the season, TKR are now remarkably in third place with the win, one point behind the Tallawahs in second. The Royals won't mind this result, as they maintain a four-point lead in first place over the Tallawahs.
Player of the Match is Ravi Rampaul: "It was a good performance. Haven't started the CPL well. I had to go back to the drawing board and look at what I was doing wrong and thankfully it came off today. Our batting hasn't really come to the party yet but we're getting back into the right direction after today. We're taking the matches one by one."
That's it for today's coverage. I'm Peter Della Penna. Take care!
