Trinidad & Tobago Red Steel beat St Kitts & Nevis Patriots by six wickets!

Red Steel captain Dwayne Bravo produced a man of the match performance as he lifted his side off the bottom of the 2015 Hero Caribbean Premier League table as they cruised past the Patriots in the last game at Warner Park.

Bravo claimed his second four-wicket haul of this year's CPL, taking 4-29 in 4 superb overs - which also saw him reach the milestone of 250 T20 wickets, only the fifth player to reach that landmark.

Bravo was ably supported by Samuel Badree (2-18) and Johan Botha (2-23) ans the Patriots struggled to put together a challenging total only a few hours after their fine win over the St Lucia Zouks, bowled out off the last ball for 146 in their 20 overs.

That was largely thanks to Devon Thomas's fabulous late knock of 44 off 23 balls, including 22 off the last over, which saw them at least have something to defend, but when Jacques Kallis hit five glorious boundaries in the first two overs of the Red Steel's reply, it never looked enough.

Kallis went for 23 and Cameron Delport made 38, but despite their dismissals and disappointments for Darren Bravo and Dwayne with the bat, Willian Perkins' excellent 64 off 43 balls saw his side home, spanking the winning runs for four through the offside.


Barbados Tridents beat Jamaica Tallawahs by 17 runs!

In a thrilling match which see-sawed in momentum between two closely matched sides, Barbados Tridents eventually defended 146/7 to beat Jamaica Tallawahs by 17 runs before a packed-out Sabina Park to head to the top of the CPL standings.

In an amazing atmosphere at Kingston, Dilshan Munaweera tried to quell the noise from the home fans as he made a quick start for the Tridents, assisted by fellow opener Dwayne Smith. But after the Sri Lankan opener departed with 33 runs on the board and Jonathan Carter went soon afterwards, the Tallawahs applied further pressure and slowed the run rate right down in front of a partisan home crowd, their efforts lead by Jerome Taylor and Rusty Theron.
 
New arrival Misbah-ul-Haq was out for a duck, while Kieron Pollard made a scratchy start but did get going late in the innings after being dropped twice. Jason Holder contributed at the other end after also getting a reprieve thanks to a misfield by Mahela Jayawardena on the boundary. Pollard hit 16 of the 22 runs in the final over as he finished on 59*, giving his team something to defend after a challenging 20 overs in a knock that would prove to be the centrepoint of man-of-the-match performance.
 
The Tallawahs suffered an early blow in their run chase after losing Chris Gayle for 14 runs, but it was the decisive contribution of Robin Peterson that really changed the course of the game. The bowler took two wickets with his first two balls – including the dangerous Chris Lynn, who made way for 13 – and, while his hat-trick was denied, the South African bowled Jerome Blackwood after dismissing Jayawardena to claim three wickets in the over. 
 
The Tallawahs were losing wickets too regularly for comfort, but the run rate was not suffering and, with Chadwick Walton still at the crease, the hosts seemed like the favourites to claim victory. But Rayad Emrit dismissed the opener during a fine spell in which he went for just 3.5 runs per over, and by the end of the contest the Tallawahs batsmen could not find the boundary rope as the Tridents won with something to spare to climb to the top of the Hero Motocorp Leaderboard.
