What a game, what a chase. First the Patriots cruised, then they lost their way, then recovered, then looked like they will be choked. In the end, they've finished this off in a blaze of glory. The man of the match? Fabien Allen, who finishes 65 not out off 34 balls. The most anyone's chased down in an over in the CPL is 17. Drakes, the young man on debut, was under pressure even though he was defending 17, but he'll learn from this experience. Great show of spirit from Jason Holder in walking up to Allen and embracing him in a hug. Defeats like these can be a bitter pill to swallow. This is now the sixth straight loss for Barbados Tridents.
Fabian Allen is the Player of the Match. He's clearly a man of few words. "Just stuck to my plans, believed in myself," he says, making it look ridiculously easy. "Best innings I've played so far."
Now he'll bowl from around the stumps
Down to 11 off five, Holder goes up to his young bowler to have a chat.
Dominic Drakes, on debut, will bowl the final over. Up against a guy who has been striking at 160. Big pressure over coming up.
