Barbados Tridents won their second Caribbean Premier League (CPL) title as Guyana Amazon Warriors’ perfect season unraveled at the worst possible moment.
The Warriors had won all the eleven matches – including three against the Tridents – before the final but came off second best in the face of an inspired performance from the Barbados outfit.
After Jonathan Carter’s unbeaten 50 off 27 balls led a recovery from 108/6 in the 15th over to a competitive 171/6 from 20 overs, the Tridents bowled and fielded for their lives to defend the target by 27 runs.
