Barbados were 112 all out on Saturday, and a day later they chased 139 with 13 balls to spare
Mujeeb Ur Rahman’s 3 for 22 held Saint Lucia Kings to 138, and Quinton de Kock and Rivaldo Clarke were still together at the end. The Tridents are last, and they have more cricket left than anyone below Guyana.
Sep 7, 2026
Twenty-four hours after being bowled out for 112 at Kensington Oval, Barbados Tridents were back at the same ground chasing 139 against Saint Lucia Kings. They got there in 17.5 overs for the loss of two wickets, and Quinton de Kock and Rivaldo Clarke were still batting when it finished.
Mujeeb Ur Rahman took the match award for 3 for 22.
Pooran went early enough to matter
The Tridents won the toss and bowled, and the Kings never got the innings moving. Tim Seifert went for 7. Kamil Pooran made 37 from 24 balls with five fours and a six, and was bowled by Mujeeb, which for the Kings is the wicket that decides whether an innings is 138 or 175.
John Campbell took 27 balls over 24 and the captain Roston Chase 28 over 34, both of them useful and neither of them quick enough. Charith Asalanka got 12 from 18. Mujeeb finished with three, Daniel Sams with two for 20 from his four, and the Kings closed on 138 for 6.
Sams and Mujeeb between them bowled eight overs for 42. That is the whole match in one line.
De Kock did not have to do anything special
Brandon King made 22 and was caught and bowled by Chase. Zachary Carter hit 32 from 22 before Joshua Bishop bowled him. That left 63 on the board with two down and 76 still needed, which against this Kings attack was not a crisis.
Clarke and de Kock put on all 76 without being separated. De Kock finished 47 not out from 31 balls, Clarke 36 not out from 34. Neither of them had to take a risk. The Kings had two frontline spinners in Maheesh Theekshana and Chase, and both went for more than seven an over.
Eleven balls, thirty runs
Amari Goodridge bowled 1.5 overs and conceded 30. His economy rate for the night reads 16.36, and he was the bowler at the end when the Tridents finished it with 13 balls to spare.
Matthew Forde and Asalanka were the only two who held anything back, three overs for 16 and two for eight between them. Everything else leaked.
Bottom of the table, most of the cricket left
The Tridents are seventh of seven on six points. They are also the only side apart from Guyana with games in hand, because they have played seven and everybody else except Guyana has played nine.
They have three league matches to come, against St Kitts and Nevis Patriots, Jamaica Kingsmen and Guyana Amazon Warriors. Win all three and they finish on 12 points. Guyana are already at that and Antigua could reach 13, but nobody else can get beyond 10, because everybody else has a single game left. Three wins puts the Tridents in the playoffs.
The Kings are on eight points with one game left, and it is against Guyana, who have won all six of theirs and are already through. Jamaica are also on eight, St Kitts on seven, Trinbago on six. Antigua and Barbuda Falcons have 11 and are well placed to qualify.
The league finishes on 13 September, the Eliminator is on 16 September and the final is in Barbados on 20 September. For a side that was 112 all out on Saturday, the Tridents have given themselves more to play for than the table suggests.
