The Red Steel won a thrilling final in front of their home fans at a rocking Queen's Park Oval, seeing off the defending champions Barbados Tridents.

Half centuries from Kamran Akmal (60) and Cameron Delport (50) in a century partnership, plus a late flurry from Dwayne Bravo (29) saw them post an imposing total of 178-6.

Barbados made a stunning start in return, with US star Steven Taylor scoring 20 runs off his first 10 balls in CPL and Dwayne Smith finding form. The pair put on 47 in the opening four overs before Taylor's debut ended when he was out lbw to Johan Botha.

The Tridents tried to keep pace with Smith (49) falling just short of a half century and Kyle Corbin (20) and Misbah Ul Haq (21) getting among the runs.

But they fell behind an imposing rate and even the arrival of Kieron Pollard (20 off 14 balls) couldn't see them home

BRAVO SAY; T&T This is For You!


Congrats again to the Trinidad and Tobago Red Steel team. Many counted us out early in the tournament.

Congratulations to the Red Steel Players & Team for winning the Tournament .

However the Euphoria needs to be tempered , by the fact that Our Team
in International Cricket is a Bottom
Dweller , Bangladesh has surged past
us . While Bangladesh is comfortably
in the ICC Championships .

The President of the WICB , Dave Cameron , in a very rare moment of candor , expressed that the chances of our Team getting into the ICC
Championships are slim .

I have no doubt that he & those in the governance of Cricket in the Region are going to soon say this is due to the fact that they are in the process of rebuilding the Team & the Players are young & inexperience .
