Jonathan Charles and Shai Hope stitched together a 50-run opening partnership for the second time in a row. But their middle order squandered the advantage as they kept losing wickets at regular intervals. Corey Anderson played a vital knock of 31 runs off 19 balls to get their team to a competitive total of 151 runs.

Tridents used as many as 7 bowlers in the match to stop the opposition but barring Rashid Khan and Jason Holder and the other bowlers were taken for a lot of runs.

Top Players to bet on:

Jason Holder - Jason Holder had bowling figures of 4-1-18-1 in the match but was criticized for his poor rotation of bowlers. He is also in good touch with the bat scoring 100+ runs at a strike rate of 175+ so far.
