Tridents beat Empress by 3 runs in WCPL thriller

Sat, 12 Sep 2026 23:55:48 GMT

Tridents 140 for 7 (Bates 39*, Green 39; Taylor 4-29) beat Empress 137 for 4 (Lanning 57, Hunter 47; Fraser 1-13) by 3 runs

The Barbados Tridents pulled off a remarkable comeback win to keep themselves in the hunt for a fourth consecutive Limacol WCPL title as they squeezed out the Jamaica Empress with brilliant death bowling.

The Tridents set a competitive score thanks to a partnership of 78 between Suzie Bates and Maddy Green to give the Tridents a fighting chance with the ball after a sluggish start to their innings.

In reply, the class of Meg Lanning looked to have made the difference as she made a brilliant 57 as she and Amy Hunter looked to be taking the game away from the reigning champions.

However, once Lanning and Hunter failed, the Empress middle order struggled in the face of a Tridents attack, who kept things very tight to win by three runs in a thrilling finish.

In the face of the pace bowling of Kapp and Shikha Pandey, the Amazon Warriors struggled to match Brathwaite’s cameo. Shermaine Campbelle, however, continued her fine form, backing up her half-century last time out with 31 off 28 balls.
