They both managed to hit runs thick and fast, but the magic of Dwayne Bravo struck again. He sent Pooran at the crucial stage of the game and then rattled Jason Holder to turn things in favour of Trinbago Knight Riders.

Chasing the tally of 129, Barbados bowled well to restrict TKR to 37/3 in the powerplay. However, the experienced customer, Brendon McCullum alongside Dinesh Random guided the team inch closer to the victory. Despite losing the wicket on the brink of the win, Dwayne Bravo completed the remaining four runs.
