CPL 2016: Tallawahs turn 1st group to validate for knockouts after Tridents victory

The Jamaica Tallawahs have cumulative a place in a knockout stages of a Caribbean Premier League (CPL) with a win over a Barbados Tridents during Sabina Park. The Tallawahs have won all 4 of their home games as they became a initial group to benefit a place during finals week in St Kitts Nevis.

A shining innings from Chadwick Walton and runs from Kumar Sangakkara and Rovman Powell authorised a Tallawahs to post their top sum of Hero CPL 2016 in a diversion that was shorted as a outcome of a sleet storm.

The Tridents follow petered out fast with a usually splendid hint being another half century for Nicholas Pooran who continues to impress.

The competition was reduced to 18 overs a side, though once a skies had privileged Chadwick Walton scored during a frightening lick. The Tallawahs mislaid Chris Gayle early though it didn’t matter as Walton done 97, painfully tighten to his initial ever T20 hundred. Walton common a partnership of 127 runs with Sangakkara, a best mount for a Tallawahs during this year’s CPL.

Walton had not had a good Hero CPL to this indicate though here he was in excellent form. He strike 9 fours and 5 sixes as he helped a Tallawahs to an considerable 195-5 off their 18 overs. He fell in a final over of a innings when he attempted to pound Ravi Rampaul over midwicket for 6 to move adult his ton. He didn’t utterly get all of it, a monument in this knock, and Ahmed Shahzad took a catch.

Sangakkara was a ideal foil for Walton, a Sri Lankan good was happy to spin a strike over to his partner while holding range attack opportunities when they arose. He done 50 from 31 balls during a really decent strike rate of 161 though he was done to demeanour walking by Walton – justification of only how considerable a Jamaican opener’s hit was.

When Sangakkara over Andre Russell transposed him with 23 balls left in a Tallawahs innings and he was discharged for a golden duck. The detriment of a actor as critical as Russell for no measure could good have slowed down a Tallawahs though find of a competition Rovman Powell had other ideas. He bloody 34 runs from 14 balls, including 4 Maximums.

Chasing 196 to win a Tridents mislaid Kyle Hope to a glorious round from Dale Steyn in his initial over, a round outward a line of off branch and relocating divided from Hope who edged it by to a screw to leave his group 15-1.

The Tridents have mislaid a services of AB de Villiers and with him taken they done a dauntless call to foster Akeal Hosein to series three.

Hosein has a first-class hundred to his name, though his high measure in T20 cricket before this compare was 12 not out. It was a outrageous ask for a immature male to measure during a compulsory rate opposite a gait of Russell, Steyn and Kesrick Williams. The examination wasn’t a success as Hosein managed only 8 runs from 13 balls before being good held during prolonged on off a bowling of USA general Timroy Allen.

The measure was during 44-3 with a compulsory rate already adult to scarcely 13 an over with Nicholas Pooran and Shoaib Malik during a double and they indispensable a poignant partnership from those dual batsmen to move them behind into a contest. When Malik over 11 runs after a Tridents indispensable a spectacle from captain Kieron Pollard to wand off defeat.

It was too most even for Pollard who was discharged by Dale Steyn in his final compare for a Tallawahs before he too leaves, and a pace-man finished with total of 4-27, picking adult his 200th T20 wicket in a process.

Pooran continued to stir for a Tridents as he scored a fastest ever fifty for a Barbados Tridents, though there was too most for a 20-year-old to do on his own. He was eventually run out for 51 from 25 as a Tridents stumbled to a 36 run defeat.
