The biggest party in sport takes first swing, as it was no celebration for Trinbago Knight Riders fans as the Antigua and Barbuda Falcons soared to a narrow eight run win.

Posting 167 for six with Fabian Allen top scoring on 45, Obed Mcoy ripped through the TKR middle order as they eventually fell short.

The result dents TKR's push for momentum in the standings, while the Falcons keep themselves firmly in the playoff hunt.
