Emrit displeased with dropped catches

The Amazon Warriors posted a score of 159 runs for six wickets in their mandatory 20 overs with the Knight Riders responding with 160/4 in 18 overs, with Colin Munro hitting an unbeaten 57.

However, Munro was dropped twice – a sitter on 13 by Roshon Primus at mid-off off Steven Jacobs and on 18 by Emrit at cover off Rashid Khan.

“(I) felt like 159 was a good total to defend but our catching didn’t help us out,” said Emrit after the contest. “It was probably one of our worst nights. Even our ground fielding wasn’t up to it.” Emrit, who took over the mantle of captaincy from New Zealand’s Martin Guptill midway during the tournament, noted, “It was just one of our bad days. I’ve got to put it behind us.

“It’s been tough (as captain) but I’m one to accept the challenge. We had to win our last five games and it’s taken a toll. Still think we had done satisfactorily with 159.”
