Trinbago not only bundled out the opposition for a meagre total of 77 but chased that down with almost nine overs to spare.

They were reduced to 54 for six in the 12th over. Thanks to Fawad Ahmed who registered the figures of four for 21. Akeal Hosain too chipped in with a couple of wickets.

Jamaica Tallawahs Choke Under Pressure

Jamica Tallawahs threw away an easy win as they went down to St Lucia Zouks by 11 runs in another fixture of Caribbean Premier League.

Afghanistan born Chinaman Zakir Khan and West Indies' 22-year old leg spinner Javelle Glenn combined to share six wickets between themselves to derail the chase.

Earlier in the day, the Zouks were led by another Afghani Najibullah Zadran who scored 35 off 25 balls and was supported by the likes of Rahkeem Cornwall (32) and Windies international Roston Chase(32) as they posted a total of 145 for six in their allotted 20 overs.
