So that's all for the coverage of this game. Do join us for the coverage of the 12th match in the Caribbean Premier League, tomorrow morning, sharp at 4 AM IST. Till then, it's a ta-ta and a goodnight from me, Anurag Dasgupta and my co-commentator, Arjun Bhalla.
Nicholas Pooran | Warriors captain:
"Fought really hard. Bowled extremely well. Batted ourselves in a hole in the middle over. Something we have to work on. First thing I told Mario [Romario] is that it's his day. His ethics, his body language, wanted to prove himself. Really happy for him.
As a batting unit want to correct those things. Stop making silly mistakes [going after Narine in his final over]. Off the cricket field as well we're bonding as a family. Just want to continue to build from this confidence wise."

Kieron Pollard | TKR captain:
"Should have got over the line. Take it on the chest. Pitch has been challenging, no doubt about it. Still need to show some sort of intent. Still think we were short on runs.
After getting the wicket of Nicholas we should've been tighter. But these things happen. [Akeal's catch] brilliant. Throughout the tournament he's been fantastic. Defending 8 off the last over shows the talent of the man."

Romario Shephard | Player of the Match
"The coach told me before I went to bat that I'd bowl the over. I asked them once again during the over, Pooran said that I was going to bowl. I was confident, Pollard was the key wicket, it put them on the back-foot, with 7 needed I backed my strengths.
I'm pleased, I'm developing as a batsman, I want to go out there and finish games for my team. Each and every game is important (for us), particularly this game, we didn't want to go 3 games down on the bounce."

Chasing a paltry total of 139, the Warriors were jolted with early wickets of Hemraj and Odean Smith. Warriors were behind in the chase for a large part of the game, thanks to some outstanding bowling from Sunil Narine. But the introduction of Pooran changed the course of this game.
The Warriors skipper broke the shackles and tilted the game in their favour. However, some outstanding death over bowling from Akeal Hosein resulted in a super over as the Warriors failed to eclipse the target of 138.
The Superman of the Super-over, Sunil Narine produced yet another magical 5 deliveries and restricted the Warriors to just 6 runs in the Super Over. However, Romario Shepherd had the last laugh as he bowled his heart out and held his nerves to win the game for the Guyana Warriors.
Hang round everyone, time for the presentation ceremony.

Phewww... finally the match has ended. And what a nail-biter we all have witnessed here. Everyone has been thoroughly, thoroughly entertained. TKR lose their third Super Over in the Caribbean Premier League history. Romario Shepherd held his nerves to snatch the victory for his side here.

Arjun: Shepherd has bowled one of the best Super Overs in the history of T20 cricket. Take a bow, sir. He is all pumped and enjoying every onus of it. Three dots, a double, two singles and the huge wicket of Kieron Pollard on ball one. This bloke has made some history today. He's is special!!
0.6 R Shepherd to T Seifert
1 And that's it, victory for the Warriors.Brilliant fuller length delivery and Seifert only manages to drill it down to long off for a single..
Four runs required off the last ball.
0.5 R Shepherd to T Seifert
0 Brilliant bowling from Shepherd. Full and wide, out of Seifert's reach who fails to get a bat on it.
0.4 R Shepherd to T Seifert
2 Slapped away for a couple of runs.This was full and wide. Seifert carves it through the covers, and a misfield by the fielder at sweeper cover allows them to come back for a second...
0.3 R Shepherd to C Munro
1 Single here, finally. Full, right in the blockhole. Munro digs it wide of the bowler and steal a quick run..
0.2 R Shepherd to C Munro
0 Dot ball here! Steps down the track to this back of a length delivery. Munro miscues his attempted slog and toe-ends it back to the bowler...
0.1 R Shepherd to K Pollard
W Gone! What a sensational start by Shepherd and the Warriors. The big fish, Pollard departs here. Comes round the wicket and pitches it fuller on the stumps. He goes for a booming slog and fails to get the desired connection on it and finds the man at long off, who moves to his left and swallows a really good catch in the end...
First ball in the Super Over and the big fish is gone. Pollard is gone. Twist in the tale, yet again.
