Shakib, Nurse spin Tridents to victory

Fri, Aug 2, '13

BRIDGETOWN, Barbados - Ashley Nurse bagged four for 14 as Barbados Tridents registered a 12 run win over Antigua Hawksbills to record their second straight win in the inaugural Caribbean Premier League at the Kensington Oval here Thursday night.

But it was man of the match Shakib Al-Hassan who dented the advance of the Hawksbills with figures of one for 16 off four overs that helped curtail the exploits of their top order.

Opener Johnson Charles with five fours and one six off 36 balls was their leading scorer. Shakib accounted for the experienced Ricky Ponting, caught at first slip by Ashley Nurse for one.
