New Zealand’s Colin Munro smashed
an unbeaten 39-ball 68 as defending champions Trinbago Knight Riders thrashed
Guyana Amazon Warriors by eight wickets to lift Caribbean Premier League 2018
title for the third time.
Opting to field, Knight Riders
restricted Guyana Amazon Warriors to 147 for 9, with Khary Pierre claiming 3
for 29 and Captain Dwayne Bravo picking up two wickets. In reply, Knight Riders
chased down the target in just 17.3 overs, thanks to brilliant batting
performances from Brendon McCullum (39) and Munro (68).
For Guyana Amazon Warriors, Luke
Ronchi scored 44 off 35 balls. Chasing 148 to win, Ramdin played the anchor
even as McCullum pulled out the big shots. The two added 52 for the first
wicket before McCullum skied Chris Green for Delport to take the catch in the
seventh over - the former New Zealand captain hit 39 in 24 balls.
Pierre was adjudged Player of the
Match for his brilliant bowling figures of 3/29. Munro was
earlier named in the CPL tournament team, alongside Phillips who had a big
few weeks for Jamaica Tallawahs. Phillips scored 457 runs from 11 innings
at a strike rate of 147 to push a strong case for one of the two available
spots for the Black Caps T20 squad to face Pakistan.
