Powell lashing out at the schedule there, not happy with it one bit. But he'll be happy with the win today. That's all we have from this one. Until next time, it's goodbye.

Powell | Kingsmen captain: One of our overseas players stood up and won a game for us. Good to see Saim get a hundred. Previous years he has been a good performer in CPL, good to see that he come with us and continue that form. That's the benefit of watching them bowl on the wicket. We know it's a good wicket and there's lots of runs in it. Having said that, we also feel as a bowling group that if you have a plan, you can execute. We came with a clear plan at the halfway mark - we know that if we come bowl 24 yorkers whenever we're under pressure as a team we can do that. Husnain led us beautifully with the ball. We fly out tomorrow and then we play the very next day. It's a tough schedule. Sometimes it's a schedule that we as players say that don't make no sense. Teams are in Trinidad already and they're not playing the next game. But we have to fly and play. When you look at that, that don't really make any sense. Players can get injured, those kind of things.

Holder | Patriots captain: We just got to be better. Disappointed the way we went about our batting. Halfway stage I thought they were on par, probably if anything 15-20 short. But the way we went about our batting wasn't good enough. Need to take responsibility and set up the game better. If we look at how the game ended, it was well within our reach to win the game but we didn't set it up well. The bowlers did a good job. It's a ground where you expect boundaries to be scored. The target was around par, maybe below par. Just didn't bat well enough. Don't want to put it on the bowlers. Definitely have to sit down and look at our combination. We've played five games so far, just one win, definitely need to change something.

Saim Ayub | Player of the Match: I enjoy everything - the atmosphere and the people, it's just love. Just played with the flow. Some planning - what bowler to hit and what to not hit. I have teammates who are expert in hitting sixes, makes it easier for me. Bowling is one thing I tell my teammates not to expect much from me, just look to enjoy it.

23:23 Local Time, 03:23 GMT, 08:53 IST: Patriots remain rooted to the bottom of the table after a run-chase which took too long to ignite. They were very slow to start, wasting a lot of balls in the first 10 overs and managing only 64 runs during that period. It left them with a lot of work to do in the back end and despite Fletcher, Holder and Shanaka producing some big shots, it wasn't enough. What a gun performance it was from Hunain Shah who nailed his yorkers and his overs proved to be worth their weight in gold. Saim Ayub, after his hundred earlier, was superb with the ball too. The two Pakistanis did enough to ensure that Kingsmen held on.
