The Barbados Tridents finished the group stage of the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) in style, defeating the Guyana Amazon Warriors by six wickets at Kensington Oval.
A.M. Ghazanfar and Johann Layne claimed three wickets apiece as the Tridents bowled out the Warriors for just 99, their second-lowest total of the season. Brandon King then produced an impressive unbeaten 44 to guide the Tridents to their sixth victory of the tournament and their fourth on the trot.
Having inserted the visitors, Ghazanfar (3-17) ripped through their top-order to grab three wickets in five deliveries.
First came a fortunate stumping, with the ball rebounding off Quinton de Kock’s chest before the wicketkeeper completed the dismissal of Mavendra Dindyal (6). Two balls later, Shai Hope (0) chipped one to short mid-wicket before the big wicket of Shimron Hetmyer followed. Hetmyer (0) edged the ball onto his pads, sending it spinning into the air for de Kock to catch. Guyana was reeling at 15 for 3.

The Warriors’ victory was set up by their top order as they completed the highest successful run chase of the season and the second-highest overall, reaching their target of 159 for the loss of five wickets with an over to spare.
The Kingsmen are also into the knockouts despite the loss
Tridents 151 for 8 (Descarte 56*, King 18; Hunain 2-25) beat Kingsmen 150 for 9 (Sadaqat 47, Khan 18; J Pollard 3-38) by 2 wickets
Gudakesh Motie helped the Barbados Tridents smash 17 runs from the final over against the Jamaica Kingsmen to secure a dramatic win and a place in the Caribbean Premier League knockout stages on Saturday.

Motie earlier took 2 for 7 from three overs to halt momentum on the Kingsmen, who had already qualified, to 150 for 9. Shadrack Descarte’s 56 (42 balls) set up the chase towards the back end of the Tridents’ innings before Motie’s final-over heroics.
