The Barbados Tridents ended their home leg of the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) with a victory over the St Lucia Zouks. A superb innings from Tridents wicket-keeper Nicholas Pooran saw the Tridents set the Zouks 174 to win. The 20-year-old Pooran made a career best as the Tridents won by 25 runs.
Wickets fell throughout the Zouks chase as Andre Fletcher top-scored with just 20. The Tridents made a tentative start to their innings as they reached 28-0 in the PowerPlay, managing only two boundaries inside the fielding restrictions. Neither of the openers could make a sizeable contribution as both of them fell when they tried to inject some pace into the innings once the field went back. Shoaib Malik and Kyle Hope fell skying catches in the space of five balls of each other.
