CPL 2020: Sunil Narine leads TKR to cruising win; Rashid Khan shines for Barbados Tridents
Posted 19 Aug 2020 11:47 AM

Brilliant all-round performances from Sunil Narine and Rashid Khan gave their respective teams a winning start on the opening day of the Hero Caribbean Premier League here.

While Trinbago Knight Riders ended Guyana Amazon Warriors� 11-match winning streak beating them by four wickets in a match reduced to 17 overs, Barbados Tridents edged out St. Kitts & Nevis Patriot by six runs at the Brian Lara Academy here on Tuesday.
In the opening match, Narine�s 50 in 28 balls after taking two for 19 in his four overs were the key for Trinbago, though in the end they needed Bravo brothers, Darren (30) and Dwayne (six not out), to see them through with two balls to spare against Guyana Amazon Warriors.

Shimron Hetmyer�s scored 63 not out off just 44 balls for the Warriors.

Kieron Pollard�s decision to bowl first in a match shortened by rain to 17 overs each paid off Ali Khan had last year�s CPL top scorer, Brandon King, slicing a shot to point for a duck.

The Knight Riders� spinners called the shots and it was only in the seventh over, that Ross Taylor (33) smashed the first six, of the tournament.
