That's the end of the coverage for now. Do join us for the 1st semi-final clash between Trinbago Knight Riders and Saint Lucia Kings tomorrow. Until then, it's goodbye from me, Akshay Bhide, and my co-commentators Arjun Bhalla and Kingshuk Kusari. Tata. 
Kieron Pollard | Winning captain, Player of the Match - It was a matter of intent, we were a bit behind, and we didn't want to leave it too late, so I took a chance. I don't want guys to go into that sort of a mode, it is important for us to win and gain the 2 points, that's the sort of template I want the team to set.
I wanted to score 36 (laughs, when asked about the positive intent in the 12th over), but it was important to show some intent. If you want to win a tournament, you need to beat everyone.
We have played well, but there are some good players in all teams, it's important to not think too far ahead, we'll have to play our best cricket in the semi-finals. 
Dwayne Bravo | Losing captain - I must say it was a good cricket game, we batted first, we wanted to defend totals, obviously 149 wasn't enough against that batting line-up, happy though that we took it to the 19th over. It was a gamble to bowl Jaggesar against Pollard, but it didn't work.
We'll have a different team in the semis, I'm happy with the way we played tonight, the effort and the energy shown by the team was good.
Time for Presentations.
Akshay: 148 was always a stiff target with the bowling attack that the Patriots possessed. Simmons and Ramdin struggled early in the innings as the stroke-making wasn't easy upfront. The Patriots bowlers bowled good line and lengths as they picked three wickets at the halfway stage. In walked Pollard and turned the tables around.

Pollard started his innings with a massive six off Jaggesar and there was no looking back for the big man. He kept on hitting some mighty sixes as he took the game away from the Patriots in a jiffy. The bowlers, Jaggesar in particular went for a journey as Pollard raced to a fifty off just 20 balls. Pollard was removed by Drakes in the 15th over was too late for DJ Bravo's side as the defending champions chased down the total with four wickets in hand.  Fawad Ahmed was the pick of the bowlers for the Patriots as he picked two wickets giving away only 16 runs in his four overs.

Earlier, TKR skipper Kieron Pollard won the toss and put the Patriots in to bat. Gayle departed early in the innings with his opening partner Joshua Da Silva playing a lone hand for the Patriots. He notched up a brilliant half-century but lacked support from the other end. Rutherford and DJ Bravo tried their level best as they managed to get the total above 140. Ali Khan starred for the TKR with the ball. He picked three wickets in his four overs. Udana chipped in with two wickets as they restricted the Patriots below 150.
Akshay: That's it. That's the game for the Trinbago Knight Riders. They chase down 148 with one over to spare as Isuru Udana hit two massive sixes and ensured that there were no more hiccups in the chase. A convincing performance from the defending champions sees them finish the group stages at the top of the table. They will face Saint Lucia Kings in the first semi-final clash. St Kitts and Nevis Patriots will face Guyana Amazon Warriors in the second semi-final.
