Shai Hope was dismissed by Mohammad Nabi with a catch by Deyal at deep square leg. Tridents captain Holder came to the crease and hit some cracking strokes before Kesrick Williams dismissed him. Holder gave an easy catch to Darren at long-on. Roston Chase did the trick for Zouks as he got rid of Jonathan Carter and Kyle Mayers off successive deliveries.

Zouks struck again as Deyal got rid of Raymon Reifer to leave Tridents struggling at 109 for 7. With the scoreboard reading 131 for 7, rain arrived, and the umpire called for covers. The match started after a long rain delay break.

St Lucia Zouks was set a revised target of 47 runs to win. Rakheem Cornwall started off briskly in the first over by smashing Jason Holder three successive boundaries. Rashid got the wicket of Cornwall to bring back Tridents into the game.

Najibullah Zadran was promoted and could not do any damage. Mohammad Nabi showed his class by smashing his team-mate Rashid Khan for 10 runs. Khan came back with the wicket of Nabi to bring some life into the match. Fletcher also smashed a six to bring the match in favor of Zouks.

Andre Fletcher hit the winning runs for Zouks and register a 7 wicket win via the DLS method. It was a superb bowling performance by Zouks who restricted Tridents to a modest total.

For his all-round performance, Mohammad Nabi was named the man of the match award.

St Lucia Zouks 50 for 3 in 4.1 overs ( Mohammad Nabi 15, Fletcher 16*, Rashid Khan 2/24) beat Barbados Tridents 131 for 7 in 18.1 overs ( Johnson Charles 35, Jason Holder 27, Roston Chase 2/8, Scott Kuggelin 2/28) by 7 wickets via the DLS method.
