The Barbados Tridents have secured their place in the Caribbean Premier League playoffs following a dramatic victory over the Jamaica Kingsmen.
Chasing 151 for victory, the Tridents entered the final over needing 17 runs, before Gudakesh Motie produced a stunning finish. Batting at number nine, Motie struck a four and a six and eventually scrambled the winning single from the final delivery.
Earlier, Shadrack Descarte kept Barbados in the chase with a maiden T20 half-century, scoring 56 from 42 balls after the Tridents lost three wickets during the PowerPlay.
Motie also starred with the ball, taking two wickets for just seven runs as Jamaica were restricted to 150.
The victory secured the Tridents a place in the knockout stages, while the Kingsmen also advanced despite the defeat, edging the Saint Lucia Kings for the final playoff position on net run rate.
