Barbados Tridents vs St Kitts and Nevis Patriots, 32nd Match, Caribbean Premier League 2026 - CommentaryBBT vs SNP, 32nd Match, Caribbean Premier League 2026 - Commentary

The battle for the last two spots will continue over the weekend! The party at CPL is just getting started as we race to the business end. The action will keep getting intense. For now, the Tridents will feel better with these two points and in the process they knocked out the Patriots. On that note, we will take a leave. See you soon with more cricketing action. Bye for now...

Chris Green: I think the consistent factor in the three home games has been our bowling. Followed, really proud about our efforts. It's been different bowlers stepping up at crucial times, and I think as a whole collective group we've bonded really nicely. So we've got a really good blueprint that's been successful at home here, and hopefully we can keep that going. Full credit to Quinny for getting us over the line there, and like I said, really proud about my performance in the last two games. Yeah, look, I still think we haven't quite played our best cricket. We're playing really good cricket, and we're playing good cricket here at home, and it's no different. So we set at the start of the tournament, the home team wants to be there for the finals and qualify and have that home ground advantage, and we're one step closer to that. So it's each way, each game by game, and we keep getting better and better hopefully. You know, I think it's a great initiative that this franchise goes about in wearing pink and donning pink, and it's nice to get a few different match shirt at times to wear, raffling off our shirts for charity after the game. So yeah, to contribute to that and be out here in pink tonight was amazing. I think conditions here that we've seen, at the three games so far, have been difficult to bat on, and it's probably about a 150 wicket. So it has been some lower scoring games, some scrappy ends, but the way we've gone about it, particularly the last two, I think we've applied some loading from our loss against Trinidad in a low-scoring game. So winning the toss helps, and having a platform to bat around certain players is so important. So I think from a batting point of view, the more batting partnerships you get, the bigger your score is going to be and the easiest to chase runs down.

Jason Holder: I mean, obviously we're disappointed. We thought we had a pretty good team this year, but we didn't have to live up to expectations. I have to say that we had some positives, you know. We had a couple of scores from Fletch. You know, we had some good bowling from Naseem. I mean, some plus performances, but we just fell short for us, you know, unfortunately again. The two games against Jamaica, I thought we should have done a lot better against Jamaica. We should have probably won both of them. We had a close game against Antigua. Unfortunately another weather game as well, which we have no control over. But I think all in all, you know, we had a few games to win. You know, my last two seasons here, you know, pretty much the same story. We came close, but we didn't quite got over the line. So I think it's time for reflection. Pretty frustrating, we really have to look at some ways to get over the line. I mean, for me, yeah, probably didn't have the best tournament this year. Probably was a little flat. I missed a lot of cricket played over this sport entire year. So yeah, I'm looking forward to maybe a couple of weeks rest and then see what goes from there. But from a franchise standpoint, I still think we've got a lot of work to do. Obviously we need some more consistency. Always good to play here at Kensington Oval.

Chris Green, Player of the Match: Yeah, obviously getting some contribution, getting the win and pushing us one step closer to qualifying and achieving our goal of qualifying and having a home final. So when you contribute to a win like that, it always feels nice. Look, I hang out always into evolving the game. Obviously, I just do a lot of research on positions, do a lot of research. I think, for me, it just comes down to execution. If you can execute your best ball and hit your spots, then you tip the cap and try and repeat. So small adjustments here and there, and for me, I'm lucky tonight that it came off. Yeah, I think it's one thing that Trevor Penny prides himself on is fielding, and he's been having some naughty boy sessions with us late at night at a lot of venues around the Caribbean, and it seems to be paying off. We used to drop catches, and under lights here it's very difficult at all the other grounds, but I'm very proud of our effort in the field and the way we are responding to pressure situations. So it's been impressive so far, and hopefully we can keep going.

22:47 Local Time, 02:47 GMT, 08:17 IST: The Tridents jump to 4th on the table. This win would have elated the TKR unit as well as they are still alive. The Patriots were poor with the bat and paid the price for it. They were none for 2 early on and never really recovered. It was because of Wanindu that they toppled the 100 mark else it would have been worse. The skipper of the Tridents led from the front and picked up a four-fer to get his team back to winning ways. In one of the games recently, their team had failed to chase down a low score against TKR but this time QDK had it covered. He took his time, waited for the bad balls and scored at a decent pace to see his team through. Hasaranga had a mixed game as he was awful with the ball. He was taken for plenty in his first 2 overs and that kind of sealed the deal in a low scoring game like this. Holder, Naseem Shah and Salamkheil tried their best but it was too less to defend in the end.

Naseem Shah to Chris Green, THATS OUT!! Caught!!
