00:16It's the contest the fans have been waiting for on the Independence Day holiday.
00:20TKR taking on Ghana Amazon Warriors.
00:23This is a big clash for many and some even bear grudge.
00:28Let's hear what the fans have to say about today's encounter.
00:31Many fans were waiting to enter the ground to watch the clash between the two teams
00:35who were meeting for the first time since last year's final won by the Knight Riders.
00:40Very keen, very keen. I mean, this is one of the big games of the tournament.
00:43You know, TKR needs to step the game up because you know Ghana is a very, very good team.
00:48So I'm looking forward to a good performance today from TKR.
00:51Now, we know that TKR is in a position where they have lost two home games.
00:56Can you see them bouncing back?
00:57Oh, definitely so. Definitely so.
01:00You know, they're going to be bouncing back and I see them giving this as an Independence gift to the
01:04nation.
01:05You know, a resounding victory today, guarantee.
01:07Go TKR all the way.
01:08Cheers.
01:09Chicken curry all the way.
01:11But any other game that Trinidad is playing, I support the curry chicken.
01:15But, yeah, I know.
01:17What expectations do you have? What do you think will happen?
01:19Guyana will win.
01:20Guyana will win. I am sure of it.
01:22I am 100% sure of it.
01:25You both have a good one.
01:27Before the match started, there was a ceremony to unveil the Bravo, Pollard and Narain stand at which Sports Minister
01:33Philip Watts and QPCC President Jeffrey Gillen were also present.
01:37The families of the players too could not be left out.
01:40After all, it was a momentous occasion for them as well.
01:44And there was a look at the stand from a distance to honor the trio that helped TKR win CPL
01:49titles on numerous occasions.
01:52Then it was time to interact with the fans who bring life to this contest.
02:10Happy Independence Day.
02:12How ready are you for this game?
02:14Ready like ready.
02:15You want to see the curry chicken?
02:17Chicken curry.
02:18Ready to show them who is the real champions.
02:21Yes, ma'am. What more could you have asked for on an Independence Day holiday at the Queen's Park Oval?
02:27I could have asked for brighter skies and more sun because what it would mean is a full game of
02:32cricket.
02:34Excited about the encounter?
02:36Yes, I am.
02:38Well, I would like to add that separate and apart from the brighter skies, I would ask for blessings for
02:45everybody here.
02:47And that the cameraman make sure that when they do the edit, I am included.
02:52Cancer survivor Candice Pearce-Suklal and her husband also attended the game and she had this to say.
02:59For 11 years, I was unable to come to a game because I was sick with cancer and I am
03:07much better this year.
03:08So my husband and I, we have made it for the past three games.
03:14Three games.
03:15We have been here and this is my bucket list to meet Sunil Narayan and Shah Rukan.
03:22Who do you think will win this one?
03:23Of course, TKR.
03:24There is no doubt.
03:26You have to.
03:29Clash of the Giants tonight, TKR, Amazon, the best of the best.
03:35Match we are really, really looking forward to.
03:38We just can't wait for it to start.
03:41From start to finish, non-stop action.
03:44How excited are you for this clash between TKR and the Ghana Amazon Warriors?
03:48I am very excited because it is a wonderful experience to experience during TKR and I came to support my
03:56fellow TKR members.
03:59So I am very excited.
04:01And as far as the Oval, you have been here before for CPL matches?
04:06Yes.
04:07Where do you prefer?
04:08Here or Taruba?
04:10Here.
04:12During the game, there was a rain interruption which had many wondering if that was the end.
04:17But luckily, it was eventually reduced to 16 overs per side.
04:43How much are you enjoying this encounter between TKR and Ghana Amazon Warriors despite the fact that there was some
04:48rain?
04:49It's okay. I enjoy the cricket pool. Great cricket, man. I enjoy it.
04:56Would you be coming for the last game?
04:58No, definitely not.
04:59But have a good one.
05:01Yeah, man.
05:01How pleased are you that cricket is finally back at the Queen's Park Oval because last year we had everything
05:06in Taruba?
05:08Very much so, please. I think we should have cricket in the Oval all the time, especially CPL.
05:12This is the home of CPL. This is Trinidad and Tobago. TKR is CPL.
05:16We are the winners. We are the champions. Five times. TKR! TKR!
05:22The result did not go the way of the TKR fans as their team lost to the Ghana Amazon Warriors
05:28by nine runs on the DLS method.
05:30But there is still one more match at the Queen's Park Oval on Wednesday.
05:34Are the Knight Riders going to make the Antigua and Barbada Falcons dance to their beat?
05:53Time will tell.
05:55The note now on, it is export.
