KINGSTON – Barbados Tridents slumped to a third straight loss in the Caribbean Premier League yesterday, going down by six wickets to Jamaica Tallawahs at Sabina Park.
Another dominating knock by Andre Russell and a telling spell of bowling by veteran off-spinner Muttiah Muralitharan piloted the home side to their win.
Russell struck 27 not out from 17 balls with two fours and two sixes at a crucial part of Jamaica’s reply. Man-of-the-Match Muralitharan had earlier gathered three for 12 off four overs to restrict the Tridents to 113 for four off their 20 overs.
Tallawahs replied tentatively, reaching 57 for three after 10 overs. Chris Gayle was bowled by Shoaib Malik for five, Ahmed Shehzad, who struck four fours and one six, was bowled by Shakib Al-Hasan for 28 attempting an expansive drive, and Danza Hyatt was run out for eight. (CMC)
