Dismal performance from the top-order:
Shai Hope, who came to bat at number three could not play impactful innings. He became the victim of Oshane Thomas after scoring just one run. Similarly, Steven Smith made only nine runs.
Jason Holder, who was looking to settle down the things for his team became the prey of an error of judgment. Johnson Charles with his brilliant athletics found him an inch short of the crease.
Apart from excellent innings from Martin Guptill, no other batsman could make it count. The opening batsman played blazing innings of 73 from just 60 balls. His knock includes four boundaries and three sixes. Imran Khan and Ashley were the joint-second top run-scorers with 20 runs for Barbados Tridents.
