"Pleased, I have been working hard. Good to see my training coming out. The track is on the slow side. I kept it simple, bowled the slower balls and cutters. It was critical to pick Hodge at that time and I am happy to pick him up. I did what the captain asked. The dressing room is feeling good. It's good to share it with Steyn, Sangakkara and Shakib. They share stuff about how they do it on the field. I will give it to my dad (the bottle of champagne), I don't really drink (chuckles)," says Kesrick Williams who's the Man of the Match

Gayle: "Happy to start with a win. Great team effort. Russell played well in the end. Steyn was fantastic and spinners played a brilliant role as well. I think 153 was always a good total on this wicket because the old ball was holding in the pitch. I knew my spinners were going to play a part. I think the bowlers kept their composure and they will only get better, once they get over the nerves. They couldn't ask for a better captain to lead them.. Chris Gayle is the best captain. I am feeling stiff and I'm struggling. We will see what happens."

Faf du Plessis: "Not great. T20 is about momentum and we are not on the right side of it. We are playing at 60-70 percent. That was a par score and we needed a guy to anchor the innings. A couple of 20s don't help. I don't think home and away makes such a difference, all of us are foreigners anyway. I have never played two days in a row but it's a quality team and a quality competition. We don't want to be predictable as a bowling unit."

With 30 runs needed off the last over, a big win by T20 standards beckoned until Devon Thomas went berserk with a hat-trick of sixes to narrow the defeat margin for St Kitts and Nevis Patriots. 3 wickets from Kesrick Williams, his best figures ever, did well to keep speed-breaking the momentum every time a revival threatened. Faf du Plessis's run-a-ball fight perished to a carom ball and Hodge - the banked-on finisher - underwhelmed to bury any hopes. Gayle-powered total of 153 was always going to be a challenge on a slow pitch and it did prove to be one. Had to be tough with Steyn having a good-ish day with the ball.
