00:02St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots beat Barbados Tridents in a high-scoring CPL thriller at
00:06Warner Park. The Patriots overhauled the Tridents total of 217 for four with five
00:11balls to spare. Winning captain Jason Holder was a relieved man and praised
00:16Johnson Charles for his knockoff 78. Yeah an excellent game of cricket you know I
00:20think yeah tough game of cricket you know both sides play some really good
00:24cricket you know we're just happy to get over there. Johnson is one of the most
00:29confident players I've ever played cricket with you know we had lengthy
00:32discussions you know between games you know he always kept that belief you
00:34know obviously it didn't come off for him in the first couple games but you know
00:37the way he went about today's today's innings was outstanding you know I think
00:41the partnership with him and Kyle was exactly what we needed to get off to a
00:44really good start. The Patriots have jumped two places to fifth while the
00:48Tridents are last according to Holder his team has the potential to reach for. Look
00:53I think I'm probably running out of words you know trying to find ways to keep the
00:57guys motivated but you know the thing about this group they've all bought in
01:00you know we haven't really clicked but you know hopefully tonight gives us a
01:03little bit more belief. Games like this is really are really important you know
01:07for our campaign I think in the past we've been able we've not been able to
01:09get over the line in close games but tonight shows us that we can definitely do it.
01:13Barbados Tridents captain Chris Green was gutted following the loss but his
01:17message to his players was to put that behind them and focus on the home leg.
01:21We've got to leave it behind we've got five good games at home to look forward to we've got to
01:25turn
01:25that into our home ground advantage win four out of five we guarantee qualification win three then
01:31it's going to rely on run rate so we've got a good team there's a lot of belief in this
01:35group
01:35for the most part of this this game tonight we played well and we've got to take confidence
01:40from that so I'm looking forward to getting home I'm looking forward to playing in Barbados
01:43and we'll be driving that 12th man in our favor and trying to deliver some wins for the home team.
01:47The next match for the Tridents is on Saturday against Trinbago Knight Riders in Barbados.
01:53Then we'll now on the Chiefs export.
