CPL: Barbados Tridents Beat Trinbago Knight Riders to Enter CPL Final

The Barbados Tridents knocked out defending Trinbago Knight Riders to organize a final showdown against Guyana Amazong Warriors in the Caribbean Premier League on Thursday. With the crucial contributions of Ashley Nurse and Raymon Reifer, the Tridents took the lead for 12 races in a game of fine margins.

Batting first, the first half of the Tridents’ entrances did not go as planned, Alex Hales and Shakib Al Hasan fell early to the bowling alley of Khary Pierre, and JP Duminy limped off the injured field, injured while trying to hit a six. .

Johnson Charles, who was finally fired for 35 years, lived an enchanted life, and received two postponements at the beginning of his innings, was left by Denesh Ramdin on the first night and then saw a skied shot landing safely after Lendl Simmons and Chris Jordan abandoned him. for each other.



With the Tridents on 74/3, things got worse twice later when Jonathan Carter was spectacularly caught and hit by Jordan, who threw himself to his left in his pursuit to tear the ball from the air inches from the grass.

It was time for Ashley Nurse and Raymon Reifer to take a step forward, both making 24 * cameos and hitting six six between them to boost the Trident’s score to a respectable 160.

Sunil Narine got the TKR tickets to start flying with four limits since the opening of Shakib and, although he and Lendl Simmons fell into the power game, the Knight Riders were well on their way to 50/2 after six overs.

But Hayden Walsh Jr, the main leader of the CPL, took his twentieth field of the tournament when Colin Munro made a direct sweep of Nurse in the third man to give Tridents a crucial breakthrough.

The game then changed the direction of TKR when Prasanna started beating everyone against the ropes, but was also to blame for the confusion that led to the shortage of Knights Captain Kieron Pollard by 23.

However, Walsh Jr ended his 2/31 spell with three point balls, and Harry Gurney gave birth in death once again with a superb 19 envelope that allowed only six runs and brought Jordan’s wicket.

That left Prasanna and the Knight Riders needing 14 of the final with two wickets in hand. When Reifer covered Prasanna with a perfect millimeter yorker to start that final again, an upside down game finally seemed resolved. Then, Pierre Hales caught Pierre with two long balls, which caused wild joy scenes at the Tridents camp.

The final will be played on Saturday, October 12.
