Well, what a clinical performance for the Tridents. They have out-batted, out-bowled, out-fielded and out-captained the opposition. Barbados Tridents had a horrible start to the innings. Promoting Reifer up the order didn't pay any dividends. It was the middle order provided the impetus needed. Malik chipped in some runs and steadied the ship. But it was Mr. 360 again. Coming in at 29/3.. smashed 82 of 54 after a quite start. Young Pooran thwacked 38 of 19 and outplayed AB for a while. On the other hand Patriots have themselves to blame. Bowled decently but their out fielding was substandard-ed. Patriots gave AB de Villiers a couple of lives.. and he made them pay. Cottrell was the pick of the bowler, bagged three scalps. Chasing 181, Patriots had a modest of starts but not for long. Both the openers were back in the hut inside first five overs. Faf ahd Carter had left too much to do. Wily spin duo - Hosein and Imran did a fine job and shared four between them. With this win Tridents sit second in the table with five points. AB de Villiers has been adjudged Man of the match for his scintillating innings with the bat.
