Batting first, Zouks put up what seemed a competitive total, but ultimately a loss of 7/39 off the last 32 balls of their innings cost them dearly against this history-making Knight Riders squad.

Wicketkeeper Andre Fletcher top-scored for the Darren Sammy-led side by playing a valuable knock of 39 runs, followed by Mark Deyal's 29 and Najibullah's 24.

For the Knight Riders, captain Kieron Pollard starred with the ball as he returned with figures of 4/30 in his allotted four overs.

Chasing the target, Knight Riders did not have a great start as they lost two quick wickets within the first four overs. However, Simmons joined hands with Bravo and both steered the team to a historic and rather comfortable win in the 19th over of the game. While Simmons played an unbeaten knock of 84 -- his 49-ball knock was studded with eight 4s and four 6s, Bravo remained not out on 58 with the help of two 4s and six 6s.

Brief scores: Trinbago Knight Riders 157/2 (Simmons 84', Bravo 58'; Chase 1/13) beat St Lucia Zouks 154 all out (Fletcher 39, Deyal 29; Pollard 4/30) by 8 wickets.
