So, that's it from our side. Chasing seems the way to go so far as all of the three opening games this season have been won by the chasing side. We hope you enjoyed our coverage. We will bring more live cricket to you later in the day as the shorter format games are coming thick and fast from around the world. See you around. Take care!

Imad Wasim: It was a great win, we bowled really well upfront, Rovman played an unbelievable knock but we knew we are always in with a score of around 150 on the board. We have a game tomorrow and we have to turn around quickly, we will enjoy a bit and then get on with it. We are professionals and we have played back-to-back games in the past so the boys are used to it.

Rovman Powell: I thought batting was a bit difficult early on but Quinny batted well. I think we were rusty in the field but it is still early days in the tournament. We needed someone to bat till the end and when Quinny got out, I knew I had to bat till in the end. We dropped a few catches but we played a good game overall.

Karima Gore | Player of the Match: I'm feeling really good, see ball hit ball now. When I first went in, I tried to get used to the pitch but it seemed very difficult. But Imad came in and calmed me down and Fabian did the same. I have learnt a lot about myself and I am showing what I have learnt here. I try to keep myself as fit as possible, taking those singles and twos is really important.

22:37 Local Time, 02:37 GMT, 08:07 IST: The Falcons have opened their account with a good win at their home ground. A fifty from de Kock at the top of the order and a blazing 24-ball 51-run knock from Powell down the order helped the Royals post a competitive score on a two-paced surface. It was still a bit under par though. In response, Sams got rid of Cornwall cheaply but Andrew and Gore stuck in and batted with grit and purpose. Both of them were struggling somewhat but managed to keep the scoreboard ticking. Andrew was trapped in front by Warrican. Both the spinners, Warrican and Mujeeb, bowled in probing channels and kept the scoring in check to put pressure on the opposition. Shakib struggled with rhythm and perished eventually. The fielding from the Royals was ordinary - there were a number of dropped catches and misfields which allowed the Falcons to capitalize. A couple of lusty blows from Imad helped his side's cause. Gore who led a charmed life was cool and calm though and took his side over the line with an important fifty. Stick around for the presentations...
