Patriots vs Tridents, 8th Match at Basseterre, Jul 05 2016 - Ball by Ball Commentary
Tridents won by 7 wickets (with 8 balls remaining)
Faf du Plessis : It's not ideal, we have to find a way to get better now. We need to find momentum and win 2-3 games in a row. We were 10 runs short of the par score. He (de Villiers) is one of the best players in the world. There is not much that you can do on his good day.
Pollard: I am pleased. We bowled pretty well on this wicket. Our bowlers used the breeze well and bowled to the wicket. Batsmen were clinical. It's good to have experience in the dressing room; it helps the younger players
AB de Villiers is the Man of the match It was a fantastic win. Always good to win away from home. I enjoyed batting with Malik. He thinks like me. I am under pressure and want to play well, regardless of the team I represent. It's not fair of you to ask me that (the catch), I heard a noise. You get good ones and bad ones. I got the good one today
At 45/2, with AB walking in, Barbados seemed to be in trouble. AB shed the bad form in style and delivered the win in partnerships with Malik and Pollard. St.Kitts and Nevis Patriots were let down by their batting and the bowling couldn't pass muster with a low total to defend
