Trinbago Knight Riders 165 for 5 (McCullum 49*, Akmal 30, Taylor 2-31) beat St Lucia Zouks 164 for 8 (Fletcher 41, Sammy 40, Beaton 3-23) by five wicketsScorecard and ball-by-ball detailsSt Lucia Zouks dreams of a maiden CPL title were ended by defending champions Trinbago Knight Riders, who turned out a clinical batting display in the eliminator at St Kitts to qualify for the second playoff while knocking Zouks out of the competition.Ronsford Beaton and Brendon McCullum played starring roles as Knight Riders kept Zouks to 164, before chasing down the target with five wickets in hand and nine balls to spare.St Lucias innings started strongly and finished strongly, but lost momentum in the middle. After being put in to bat, openers Johnson Charles and Andre Fletcher put on a breezy stand of 62 off 44. They had their share of luck along the way - not only did they benefit from three dropped chances, but Fletcher also survived a close shave in the second over when a Beaton yorker squeezed under his bat and hit the base of the stumps without dislodging the bails. Charles was the more attacking of the two, hitting three fours and two sixes in his 22-ball 31, but it was his dismissal in the eighth over that broke the momentum.It took Zouks 10.1 overs, and the loss of six wickets, to score their next 62. Wickets fell at regular intervals, with Beaton collecting figures of 3 for 23 including two in two in the 18th over. Fletcher, the only batsman to spend appreciable time in the middle during this phase, struggled to find the boundary and ran out of steam to finish with 41 off 43. At the fall of the seventh wicket, Zouks were languishing at 124, with just 15 balls left in the innings.However, captain Darren Sammy and Shane Shillingford provided the innings with a late fillip, smashing 40 runs in those last 15 balls, including two sixes each in that period. Knight Riders sloppy fielding cost them dearly, as Sammy and Shillingford were each dropped twice before embarking on their respective six-hitting rampages. Shillingfords two sixes came off the last two balls of the innings, propelling Zouks to 164 and leaving Knight Riders to contemplate a shoddy fielding performance that included seven drops in all.They seemed to have put that behind them by the time the run chase came around, though, with the top three getting the side off to a flying start. Though all three lost their wickets inside the Powerplay, they had helped Knight Riders on to 68 for 3 after six overs, with Umar Akmal scoring 30 off 15.Thereafter, McCullum - who had dropped two catches earlier in the day - steered the innings with an unbeaten 49 off 41. Knight Riders were in cruise control from about halfway through their chase, requiring little over a run a ball as McCullum controlled proceedings. Sunil Narine, coming in at No. 7, ensured that the match did not go into the last over; he hit consecutive sixes off Delorn Johnson* in the 19th and sealed the win with a single past point.Knight Riders now move on to the second playoff, a virtual semi-final, where they will play Jamaica Tallawahs for a berth in the final.*GMT 0730 August 5, 2016: The report had erroneously mentioned Mitchell Johnson.

Basketball Shoe Clearance Australia . -- The plastic that was taped across the lockers in Oaklands clubhouse came down and the champagne that was on ice went back into the cooler. PITTSBURGH -- The Pittsburgh Pirates will attempt to get back into the wild-card hunt by finishing off a sweep of the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday at PNC Park.After winning the first two games, the Pirates will send right-hander Gerrit Cole to the mound, where he will look to continue his recent string of impressive starts.Cole picked up his second consecutive win despite going just five innings against the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday after pitching his first career complete game in a 10-1 victory over the Seattle Mariners on July 27.Pittsburghs erratic pitching staff has primarily led to an inconsistent performance that has followed them into the second half of the season. That unpredictability likely wont change until the starters, with Cole at the forefront, begin to provide its balanced offense with more substantial outings.If Cole can work deep into the game Sunday, he could hand another lead to closer Tony Watson, who recovered from blowing a save on Friday by retiring the Reds in order during the ninth inning on Saturday.Thats the role of a closer, is to have a short memory as long as they have good stuff, Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. We showed confidence in him and gave him the ball. Weve done it in the eighth inning before. ... You cant get off of him because of one mark, so it was a nice result tonight.Cincinnati would like to keep Pittsburgh from finding its footing Sunday, when it counters with right-hander Dan Straily, who has been on an uptick oof his own.dddddddddddd.Straily has pitched well in his past six starts since allowing seven earned runs in an 11-8 loss to the Chicago Cubs on June 27. In his last start, Straily surrendered two earned runs in six innings against the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday.In Strailys previous three appearances against the Pirates this season, he has been difficult to hit. He allowed fewer than three runs in each of those outings and surrendered two in each of his two starts against Pittsburgh.Straily first faced the Pirates on April 10, when he struck out three batters and walked one in three hitless innings.The Reds will have to put together a better effort at the plate to aid Straily if hes to defeat Cole. One player Cincinnati can seemingly rely on is second baseman Brandon Phillips, who has provided the bulk of the offense in the first two games of the series.Phillips homered twice in the Reds 5-3 loss on Saturday, ending a career-long stretch of 286 at-bats without a home run dating to May 7. That came after he went 2-for-3 with one RBI in Cincinnatis 3-2 loss on Friday.Reds manager Bryan Price said he was never concerned about Phillips drought.I dont keep tabs on that stuff too much but everyone else does, Price said. It seems right now, hes getting the barrel on the bat every time hes up to bat and the results are starting to show. ' ' '
