Trinidad and Tobago are in the hunt for their first Caribbean Premier League title as they face defending champions Barbados Tridents today at the Queen’s Park Oval where they defeated the Guyana Amazon Warriors last night.

Kamran Akmal’s 49 from 41 balls earned him the man-of-the-match award in Red Steel’s 109-run chase for victory, eliminating last year’s finalist. He was supported by Darren Bravo (22) who hit two fours and two sixes to take their side out of some trouble early on.
Red Steel were 7 – 1 when Cameron Delport (3) was dismissed but Akmal kept the board ticking over as Jacques Kallis (8) went with the score on 48. Akmal and Bravo then shifted the balance of the match completely.
The 30-run partnership between the pair ended when Bravo fell, then seven runs later the Pakistani was back in the dug-out. Jason Mohammed (17) and the skipper Dwayne Bravo (8) were the two batsmen who stuck around to complete the home win.
Earlier, Lendl Simmons (64) with another commendable performance led Warriors to 108 – 9 in their 20 overs. The only other batsman to get into double figures was Chris Barnwell (12); ten batsmen only managed to accumulate 25 runs.
The final commences at 16:30hrs.
