Trinbago Knight Riders sealed a third Hero Caribbean Premier League (CPL) title with a commanding eight-wicket victory over Guyana Amazon Warriors at the Brian Lara Academy.

The best two teams in this season’s competition have now met four times in the last 11 days and won two games apiece, but this was the one that really mattered and it went decisively the Knight Riders’ way.

Fittingly, it was Colin Munro who hit the winning runs having become the first batsman both to pass 500 runs and then to score six half-centuries in a single Hero CPL season. His brutal 68* from 39 balls eased his team past a target of 148 after fellow New Zealander Brendon McCullum had got the run-chase off to a flying start with 39 off 24.

Munro brought up his latest 50 from just 33 balls with successive sixes off Rayad Emrit, adding a third Hero Maximum in a 27-run 17th over that effectively ended the contest.

That onslaught left just four runs needed from the last 18 balls, and after collecting two runs from the first ball of the 18th over Munro then slashed the third to the boundary to spark wild celebrations from his team-mates and in the stands.

It was the bowlers, though, who had done most of the heavy lifting to secure back-to-back titles for the Knight Riders, with the Warriors – who have now lost four Hero CPL finals – left to rue a dramatic batting collapse in the second half of their innings.

you mean good management by Shah Ruk?

In reply to googley

Was there a public burning in the Savannah of all Red Steel jerseys when Shah Ruk bought them over?

If you re-call the massive Tittie boycott of Red Steel games in the first CPL? And now, the Tits can't get enough of franchise cricket.

In reply to googley

One of my Tittie bredren said the whole CPL thing was a conspiracy to break up his precious Red Farts and that he will never ever support this fake TnT Red Steel franchise.

He was last seen getting stone drunk with the Tittie flag draped around him on the bar floor after celebrating the win last night.

I sense some sour grapes and disappointment from the posters above due to last night results
