That's it from us today. Thanks for following along. Day off tomorrow before a doubleheader on Tuesday in the first slate of games at Queen's Park Oval in this year's tournament. I'm Peter Della Penna. Take care!

Zouks captain Daren Sammy "We had to use the experience of Kesrick and Scott to pull the game back. If we gave Chemar 13, if we could execute his plans we all knew he had a good yorker and that first ball of the last over proved it. He's one for the future in West Indies cricket and today he showed that he could handle the pressure."

Amazon Warriors captain Chris Green: "Disappointing result for us today. After a tough start, full credit has to go to St Lucia. The way they bowled in the Powerplay really put us under the pump. But a lot of positives. Nicholas Pooran 60 runs, Rutherford coming to the party. They've shown some signs there of what we can do and we've got to keep building. It wasn't the start, but the middle picked us up and nearly took us over the line."

Roston Chase is Man of the Match: "[On his reputation as a Test player] Yeah I lot of people tend to say that. But when I first started playing it wasn't to be any kind of cricketer, it was just to be a good cricketer. I don't worry about what people say, just go out there and play any situation that arises. My grandmother is St Lucian so it's good to play for St Lucia."

6.16 pm Yet again, the team batting first has defended as CPL results continue to trend against the modern T20 norm of chasing being easier. Last night, Guyana was the side doing big damage early in the field defending a modest total. This time it was Guyana falling victim to a gritty fightback by the bowling side in the chase.

Holder to Smith, no run, bouncer over the stumps, no shot attempted and no wide called on height either. The Zouks battle back brilliantly to claim victory by 10 runs.

Holder to Imran Tahir, 1 run, knee high full toss tapped tamely into short midwicket.

Holder to Green, OUT, length ball, goes to slog over midwicket but a thick edge goes to Fletcher behind the stumps for a simple take. That'll just about wrap it up for the Zouks.

CJ Green c †Fletcher b Holder 1 (2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 50.00

Holder to Smith, 1 run, full on fifth stump, edged to deep third man, fielder slips and falls while collecting, could've and should've been an easy two but they settle for a very long one.

So instead of 12 off 5 it's 13 off 4. Pivotal call.

Holder to Smith, no run, wide yorker, too wide for Smith to reach it. Surprisingly given as a legal ball. Looked to be clearly outside the guideline and Smith was on leg stump for his guard.
19.1
W
Holder to Rutherford, OUT, yorker cleans Rutherford up! Heat seeker into the base of off stump. Rutherford tries to flick over midwicket rather than focus on jamming it out and off stump lights up as it pops out of the ground.

SE Rutherford b Holder 15 (9b 1x4 1x6) SR: 166.66

Holder back for the final over.
