A big win and the Amazon Warriors are in pole position to grab one of the top-two finishes. They still have 2 games at home and they'll look to solidify their position. Worrying times for the Royals? Three losses on the bounce, all three coming at a venue which will host the play-offs. Rovman Powell didn't sound too despondent though, they know their chances of finishing in the top-2 is all but over, but they'll be happy to go out of Guyana and onto Trinidad for their last league match which will be held on the 27th morning. We'll be back with more action as the CPL rolls on. For now, cheers and bye..

Imran Tahir - It was a good game, the boys batted well, they set-up the win with a good score. Hetmyer and Hope did well, Azam did give us a good start. It was a bit difficult with the ball, dew set in after 12 overs and made things hard. Bowling with the wet ball was a concern, but Moeen, Motie and even Junior Sinclair, he has bowled well when given a chance, nice to lead this team. This pitch did offer a bit of spin, but was nice to see how our batters played. We know Hetty and Hope can take apart any team on their day, in the beginning (of the home cycle), we had struggled to adjust, but we're doing well. He played really well (on David Miller), we know what he can do, congrats on his 500th T20 game, we know he's a class player. He was also a bit lucky that dew set in, Sinclair was our match-up against him, I wanted to bowl him, but he got injured. Shamar Joseph had a flu and that's the reason he missed out on tonight's game.

Rovman Powell - Credit to be given to the Guyanaese, they came out firing and totally outplayed us today, supported by the crowd. To play 500 games, you need to be doing something right (on David Miller). He's a very important player not just for South Africa, but across the leagues around the world. To find some form going into the playoffs is good. Winning does bring confidence to the group, but this loss doesn't mean it's down. We have a few plans, we know the type of team we'll play in the play-offs and the real cricket starts next week, we'll be ready for that.

Shai Hope | Player of the Match: I would say runs on the board, had a different game-plan today, there’s always a different buzz when I play against the Royals. I won’t say a big difference, it’s about the intent, was a bit surprised that they brought spin in the powerplay, just to be up for the challenge. I think they go hand in hand, to be the best you have to be mentally strong and back it up with your skill. In conditions like these, you have to think how to get runs and rotate strike. (On batting with Hetmyer) One thing to say is that we complement each other well, he is one of the guys who enjoys his batting. He knows when to pull the trigger and he batted really well.

22:58 Local Time, 02:58 GMT, 08:28 IST: As a contest, this was as one-sided as it gets, but David Miller's 34-ball 71* has helped his team avoid utter humiliation. A 47-run loss in a T20 game is a proper hammering, but it could have been so much worse for the Royals when they slipped to 95 for 8. Chasing 220, they needed a good start, but they lost two wickets early, Quinton de Kock did manage 35 and did keep them in the hunt for a while, but the introduction of spin derailed the chase completely. In no time, they were reduced from 63 for 2 to 95 for 8 and the match was a foregone conclusion. Motie took 3 wickets, Moeen and Tahir got 2 each as they ran circles around Barbados' middle-order. They did step off the3 pedal towards the end, giving their pacers some workload and that allowed Miller to play the kind of innings that he's renowned for. Still a 3rd straight loss for the Royals and they will be worried at the lack of runs from their middle-order.
