Barbados Tridents square off with Guyana Amazon Warriors in CPL final Saturday
BASSETERRE, St Kitts–Kieron Pollard’s Barbados Tridents will take on a Denesh Ramdin-led Guyana Amazon Warriors on Saturday in a match that will see two inform teams square off to be crowned the 2014 Limacol Caribbean Premier League champions.
The big-hitting Tridents will be looking to replicate their group stage form and make the most of their week-long preparation as they come up against a confident Warriors team fresh from their dominant display in the semi-final against the Jamaica Tallawahs.
“The Warriors played very well last night (Thursday), but I am not worried. We will do our preparation and get ourselves ready for playing them, but we are going to concentrate on our strengths rather than worry too much about theirs,” said Tridents captain, Pollard.
“They beat us at home a few weeks ago, so we know we will have to bring our ‘A-Game’ on Saturday to win. They do have dangerous bowlers in the form of Narine and Santokie, however, when the bad ball comes, we will look to capitalise on it and it should be an exciting match.”
Meanwhile Amazon Warriors captain, Ramdin, said: “After last night’s game, the players who did not get a chance to bat will be working hard in the nets today so we are all fully prepared for tomorrow’s (Saturday) final. Santokie and Narine have been bowling well so we will also be looking for them to carry their good form into tomorrow’s match.”
The final starts 3:00 pm at Warner Park, St Kitts.
