TKR vs ABF Live Score: Player Of The Match!
Player of the Match: Justin Greaves
"You know to get two wins against them is a special achievement for us. I feel good, if my team wins, I am happy. Just happy with how things panned out for us. This is their fortress so good to get the win. Just got to wait and see how it goes. Hopefully, a win there could be the start of something for us."
TKR vs ABF Live Score: Finally It's Over!!!
Much needed win for the Falcons, after this victory they have attained 2 crucial points. Just the third win for ABF in 9 games this season. And two have come against TKR. Much-needed for ABF too. Nice to see Pollard pat Imad Wasim on the head after all that happened earlier.
TKR vs ABF Live Score: Seems To Be A Very Eventful Match!
Jordan throws it, hits Wasim, and it goes for four overthrow runs. TKR wants to check if Imad changed his course or intentional deflection. NOT OUT is given on the screen. 6 runs given.
TKR vs ABF Live Score: Greaves Is Walking Off The Field!
Interesting - Justin Greaves has been retired out here. Allen comes in. Greaves was struggling and ABF have made a decision. Let's see if this is the right call.
TKR vs ABF Live Score: Super Yorker From Chris Jordan!!!
Chris Jordan strikes and gets rid of Greaves who was holding the innings together. Is there some hope for the TKR side? Oh wait, this could be a no ball. Oh....no..its a no ball, and as we know Greaves survives, fortune favours the brave... Very unfortunate for Jordan...
TKR vs ABF Live Score: Partnership Is Brewing!!!
41 more needed off 30 balls; Chris Jordan comes back into the attack....
TKR vs ABF Live Score: TKR Need Wicket!!!
Falcons need 48 needed off 42 balls....
TKR vs ABF Live Score: Finally!!!
Must be one of the longest delays ever for a decision/non-decision ever in CPL history, finally, finally, we can go back to playing. Phew - what drama!
TKR vs ABF Live Score: Controversy On The Field!
The argument from TKR is that Imad Wasim had left the field of play and he shouldn't be allowed to come back. A delay of more than 5 minutes and still the issue seems to have not been resolved. Pollard continues talking to the umps.
TKR vs ABF Live Score: What Is Going On???
Imad Wasim is called back on the field... And now it is time for Kieron Pollard to have a word with the on-field umpire. Big controversy erupted on the field...👀
TKR vs ABF Live Score: Wicket!!!!
Is it a controversial DRS ??? Imad Wasim looks really furious and agitated, he looks completely disappointed with that decision, he is having a word with the on-field umpire. The replays suggest there was some deviation when the ball was close to the bat.
TKR vs ABF Live Score: Drinks Break 🥤
The umpire signals for a drinks break... Antigua & Barbuda Falcons are in the driver's seat in this contest. They are 68/3 after 9.1 overs and need another 67 runs off 65 balls and on the other end, TKR need crucial breakthroughs to get back their momentum in the game.
TKR vs ABF Live Score: Wicket!!!
Oh..no as the partnership was developing Sunil Narine did his magic and trapped Hassan Khan, who was looking to come down the track and whack it over cow corner but completely missed it.
TKR vs ABF Live Score: Can This Partnership Turn Things For Falcons?
Much needed 50-run stand is up between Hassan Khan and Justin Greaves...
TKR vs ABF Live Score: Perfect Start For TKR!
TKR vs ABF Live Score: Maximum!!!!
Hassan Khan showcases his power as he smashes a good shot to Sunil Narine. Khan comes down the track but goes through with the hoick, way back and into the first tier at deep mid-wicket, meaty blow...👀
TKR vs ABF Live Score: Gone!!!!
Cleaned up by a fast yorker. The ball sneaks under the bat of Kofi James as it is fast and James cannot keep it out. Crashes into middle and leg. Russell is pumped.
TKR vs ABF Live Score: Wicket!!!!
Brandon King departs for a three-ball duck. Akeal Hosein strikes and what a dream dream start for TKR as they look to defend a low total...🤙🏻
TKR vs ABF Live Score: Welcome Back Folks!
We are back with the run chase. Brandon King and Justin Greaves are the two openers for ABF. Akeal Hosein to start the proceedings with the ball for TKR.
TKR vs ABF Live Score : Mid-Innings
A competitive total on the board by Trinbago Knight Riders! They lost three wickets in the Powerplay and were soon reduced to 42-4 in the ninth over on a pitch that is quite difficult to bat. However, the dyamic duo of Pollard and David got together and added 40 crucial runs. David fell for 25, but Pollard continued and smashed some big hits in the end to take his team to a score of over 130 with his 45. Springer and Fabian Allen took two wickets apiece, and it would be interesting to see how Falcons go about their chase.
TKR vs ABF Live Score: Knight Riders End With 134!
Chris Jordan is run out on the final ball, and Knight Riders finish with 134. A good last over from Springer, but it is still a good score from the home team.
TKR vs ABF Live Score: Kieron Pollard Falls!
That's the end of Kieron Pollard! Tries to hit another one into the crowd, but holds out in the deep. He has done a fantastic job though, and his 47 could be the difference between the two sides.
TKR vs ABF Live Score: 22 Runs From The Over!
Just the over Knight Riders needed! Kieron Pollard with two sixes and a lucky boundary on the final ball has put Knight Riders on track to reach 130 here. Amir would be disappointed, he did not bowl that badly, but this is how the game works, and this could be the game-changing over.
TKR v ABF Live Score: Last Two Overs, Can Pollard Finish On A High?
Kieron Pollard has shown his class again on a difficult pitch. 12 balls left now, and how Pollard would go about his business in these last two overs, could go a long way in determining the result of this game.
TKR vs ABF Live Score: Fabian On A Hat-Trick! - Russell Falls For Golden Duck After David's Departure...
Fabian Allen with double-blows has made sure that TKR's charge is curtailed. Big moment in the game, Fabian Allen after getting hit for a six, removes Tim David and Andre Russell on consecutive deliveries. Can Falcons build on this and keep Knight Riders in check now?
TKR vs ABF Live Score: Two Sixes In An Over - Pollard-David Get Into The Act!
So, a six from David followed by a flat six by Pollard. Partnership brewing up and Falcons need to get a breakthrough here, otherwise things might get out of their hands.
TKR vs ABF Live Score: Pollard-David In The Middle!
Knight Riders have the power-packed duo of Pollard and Tim David in the middle. Both have the ability to take the pitch out of the equation with their power-hitting and Knight Riders need exactly that today.
TKR vs ABF Live Score: Nicholas Pooran Departs; Hassan Khan With A Stunning Catch!
Joshua James Gets The Big Fish! Nicholas Pooran is gone and Knight Riders Sink further. Pooran tried to break the shackles and tries to pull a shortish delivery by Joshua James. He fails to get the timing and Hassan Khan at deep square leg, runs forward and grabs a brilliant forward diving catch.
TKR vs ABF Live Score: Carty Misses, Green Hits!
This was on the cards! Knight Riders are not going anywhere in this innings, and Carty decides to play an expansive shot. It goes horribly wrong though as he swings across the line and the ball misses his bat to hit the timber. Falcons on top!
TKR vs ABF Live Score: A Tricky Pitch On Offer!
The pitch at Queen's Park Oval looks tough for batting as quality Knight Riders batters are struggling to get going. They need to up the ante though, and we might see one of the batters taking risk soon.
TKR vs ABF Live Score: Shaqkere Parris Falls!
Six And Out! Shaqkere Parris departs after hitting a six on the previous delivery. He was struggling to get going, hit a six to break the shackles in the first delivery of the over, but Springer has got his revenge on the very next ball.
TKR vs ABF Live Score: A Sedate Start For Knight Riders!
Nicholas Pooran has started well but Knight Riders overall are off to a sedate start. They have lot of firepower though, and we might just see them unleash in the next few overs.
TKR vs ABF Live Score: Mohammad Amir Cleans Up Sunil Narine!
What a beauty! Amir with an absolute cracker of a delivery and Sunil Narine has been cleaned up in the first over. A fullish delivery, swinging into Narine and it finds the gap between bat and pad to knock over the stumps. Amir is pumped up and this is a
TKR vs ABF Live Score: We Are All Set For The Start!
Mohammed Amir is all set to start the proceedings with the ball. Narine and Parris are out in the middle for Knight Riders. Here we go...

TKR vs ABF: Toss Update

TKR vs ABF Live Score: Previews
Antigua and Barbuda Falcons
Falcons led by Chris Green have only two wins out of their eight games so far, and need to find a way to notch up consistent wins if they want to take that upward flight on the points table. They started the season with four consecutive losses and then bagged two back-to-back wins, but have faltered again and are coming into this game after two consecutive losses again. They have lot of all-round options at their disposal, but their batting has been below-par this season, which was also the case in their last game where they fail to chase down 153. It would be interesting to see how they tackle the might of Knight Riders.
TKR vs ABF Live Score: Previews
Trinbago Knight Riders
Kieron Pollard and company are arguably the strongest team on paper in this CPL, and they have played like one in this season so far. They have won four out of their five games, and have star power both in their batting and bowling department. The spin trio of Narine, Hosein and Salamkheil has worked wonders while shaqkere Parris, the youngster has impressed with the bat along with the usual suspects like Nicholas Pooran and Pollard. The star trio of Russell, Bravo and Tim David also made the comeback in the last game, and overall, Knight Riders look poised to stamp their authority again.
It's party time at Queen's Park Oval as the home team Trinbago Knight Riders is all set to take on Antigua and Barbuda Falcons in the match 20 of CPL 2024. Pollard's Knight Riders have lost just one game out of their five so far and with all bases covered they would be look to notch up another win against a struggling Falcons unit. This is OneCricket's Live Blog, and I, Aashay Chopade will be your host along with Sakshi Sharma throughout the course of this game. Enjoy the blockbuster!
