GUY vs BR Live Score: Man of The Match

Player of the Match: Quinton de Kock

 "I don't know. Just trying to have a good time in the Caribbean. Just enjoying my cricket. Yeah, I am not too sure to be honest (if this is his best T20 century). It was a good wicket, so was trying to get my team to a good total.  It just happened (on slow start in the powerplay). My partner took the pressure off me in the powerplay. It just got batter as the innings went on. Last night we lost but it was a good game. We came up with intensity tonight and did well. Pretty bugged after these two nights.Pretty bugged after these two nights. Will look to have our feet up now."

GUY vs BR Live Score: Match Summary!

The Royals put up a stellar all-round performance in the game. It was initiated by de Kock's sensible batting, culminating in an impressive century. Holder's quick contribution in the death overs added the finishing touch. 

However, the Warriors had a modest start in response. Despite Azam Khan being promoted up the order, he fell early. Robinson struggled to find his rhythm. Hetmyer made an explosive start with three consecutive sixes, while Hope played steadily at the other end.
