The defending champions finished their season on a high as they defeated the 4th placed Jamaica Tallawahs by 7 wickets when they chased the target of 162 inside 19 overs. During the first innings of the game, an interesting event happened that went viral in the social media.
Jamaica Tallawahs finally understood the importance of sending Andre Russell higher up the order as Russell came in when there were still 7 overs left and did what he does best as he murdered the Tridents’s bowling with ease as he scored 28 ball 54 that included 5 sixes and 4 fours
Rashid Khan is the latest victim of LED bails
It is becoming a more common thing in world cricket that bowlers are robbed off a wicket because of the rigidness of LED bails that are not falling off at times that leaves the players in the ground amused. One such incident took place in the last ball of the 18th over. The ball before that was the one Andre Russell scored a mighty maximum of the bowling of Rashid Khan but King Khan came back strongly to bowl him only for the bails to not fall off.

Rashid Khan started celebrating when he saw lights flashing from the stumps but soon he realized that bails didn’t fell and it was time for DreRuss to mock him as he reciprocated Rashid Khan’s celebration but in the end, both the players enjoyed the moment.
Captain’s knock from Jason Holder
Jamaica Tallawahs asked Barbados Tridents to chase a target of 162 at the back of a Andre Russell masterclass but it was the time for the West Indies red ball captain Jason Holder to show off as he raced his way to 69 from 42 balls that included 9 fours and 3 sixes. In the end, Barbados Tridents won the game by 7 wickets and finished the season on a high but they will be disappointed with their overall season considering the fact that they were the defending champions this year will add more salt to their injury.
