Chasing a modest 93-run total, Barbados Royals delivered a pulsating performance against Trinbago Knight Riders in the final of Women’s Caribbean Premier League on Friday to successfully defend their title. Barbados Royals defeated Trinbago Knight Riders by four wickets in the final to seal back-to-back titles.

Barbados Royals went past the target in only 15 overs, scoring 94 for the loss of six wickets. The contest seemed to be going down to the wire, but Chamari Athapathathu remained firm to ensure team’s title win.
