Tridents edge Hawksbill by one wicket in thriller Warriors face Tridents today

Jul 26, 2014 Sports

The Barbados Tridents continued on a roll with another victory in the Limacol Caribbean Premier League T20 championship at the Kensington Oval in Barbados yesterday by one wicket with 2 balls to spare over the Antigua Hawksbills.
The home side won the toss and inserted the opposition into bat and restricted them to 129 for 8 off their allotted 20 overs. Skipper Marlon Samuels led with a 55-ball 66, with David Hussey 24 and Carlos Braithwaite 17 offering some support as the Hawksbills found themselves in early trouble, losing wickets at regular intervals. Ravi Rampaul was the pick of the bowlers with 4 for 14 from an impressive spell, while he got support from Kieron Pollard with 2 for 14 off just one over.
Barbados Tridents also found the going a bit tough, losing power hitter Dwayne Smith early for a duck. But they fought with Jonathan Carter 35, Shane Dowrich and Shoaib Malik 18 apiece and Akeal Hosein 12 not out at the end, finishing the match with a scrambled single with Rampaul to scrape home to the required 130 for 9 wickets with 2 balls remaining. Sheldon Cottrell 2-20 and Carlos Braithwaite 2-17 led the Hawksbills bowling.
Meanwhile, two more matches are fixed for today with Guyana Amazon Warriors needing to win to stay safely in line for a place in the semis when they tackle the Tridents at home in the second match at 4:00pm. The loss to the Red Steal on Thursday pushed them into third on the standings and they will need to keep winning to stay in contention.
The earlier match of the day with see Jamaica Tallawahs battling the Red Steel in a top of the table clash that should be an entertaining contest.
