The Falcons aren't flying high for sure. Two heartbreaks back-to-back. This would be a tough one to swallow as well. They were ahead in the game while defending and have lost. Execution plays a major part in this format and that too under pressure. The Falcons need to work on that. The Guyana unit left too much to do for the lower middle-order. They can work on that sure. Intent in the middle overs could have made it easier for Shepherd and co. Our intent is to provide you with entertainment. We will keep doing so. But time to wrap this up. See yaa soon!!!

Imran Tahir: Was a great game. Everyone enjoyed. We showed our character. Any of our teammate can finish the job. I am happy and pleased. We know Romario can hit the ball. We have got Paul and have batting till number 9. Our number 9 came in and hit a six. Sheppy was unbelievable. Thanks to the Guyana fans. They are amazing. We were witness to the best atmosphere to play in. Even Sinclair opened in first class cricket. We had a decent start but kept losing wickets.

Chris Green: It is unfortunate. These two games going down to the last ball. We have none from two. We can learn so many things from these games. I am proud how we fought. Amir is one of the best bowlers in the world. When you bowl the hard overs, you have to show up as a human at times. We move forward now. Look you can find so many moments in cricket. We were ahead of the game. 10-15 runs short. Was hard to stop set batters. We missed our spots in the last stages of the game. The shot over long-off and cover was amazing. Not time to panic. We can be disappointed. We fought till the end. Different individuals have stood up. Still, 8 games to go in the tournament.

Gudakesh Motie | Player of the Match: I will say hard work pays off, I have been working hard over the years and I'm happy that I'm getting the success now. (On his batting role) Not a pinch-hitter. It's a team decision, I know I have the ability to strike it well. I’m just working hard at the moment and want to take it one game at a time. I was not nervous, I know the capabilities of my teammates. On the last ball, I was a bit nervous, Amir put it right in the slot and it got easier for us.

Earlier, the Falcons got to 168 on a deck which had something in it for the bowlers. The Pakistani duo of Fakhar and Wasim got 40s and that allowed the Falcons to get to the total that they did. Motie opened for Guyana and that move didn't work. Gurbaz got a cameo before getting out. Hetty never looked in and Azam didn't spend enough time before getting out. Guyana would feel they have gotten out of jail. Great way to start the tourney. Falcons will have to go back to the drawing board.

Amir to Pretorius, FOUR, to backward square leg

Amir to Pretorius, FOUR, 12 off 4 now. Poor ball on the pads, Pretorius clips it wide of the man at backward square for a four. Pretorius kept his clam to just place it well. Poor thinking and execution from Amir

Amir to Pretorius, no run, angled across, fuller, Pretorius looks to chase that and misses

Shamar Springer to Shamar Joseph, SIX, still a twist in play? 16 needed off the final over. On a length, outside off, Shamar Joseph

Shamar Springer to Shamar Joseph, no run, and another dot. Excellent from Shamar Springer so far. Fuller, wider, Shamar Joseph looks to throw his bat at it and misses. He isn't diverting from his plans

Shamar Springer to Shamar Joseph, no run, would be too tough for the Guyana side from here on. Fuller, outside off, Shamar Joseph looks to
