THE TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO RED STEEL left the Barbados Trident flying at half mast last night, using a spirited 20-run victory to claim the Hero Caribbean Premier League T20 cricket title.
The Tridents turned a promising position into a straightforward defeat before a crowd of over 16 000 partisan fans at the Queen’s Park Oval on a placid pitch, with the Red Steel dethroning the defending champions.
