Caribbean Premier League

BASSETERRE, St Kitts, CMC – Trinidad and Tobago Red Steel held their nerve to win a nail-biter, beating Guyana Amazon Warriors by three wickets with a ball to spare, in a low-scoring second game of a Caribbean Premier League double-header at Warner Park on Saturday.

Chasing a 119 for victory, Red Steel were on top at 61 for one in the tenth over but lost their way to stumble to 109 for six after 18 overs.

What should have been a straightforward task of scoring the remaining ten runs from 12 deliveries became a battle of jitters for Red Steel.

South African seamer Marchant de Lange sent down the penultimate over which cost just five runs, paving the way for a dramatic final over by leg-spinner Devendra Bishoo who finished with brilliant overall figures of four for 24.
