Trinidad’s Chase Falls Short as Antigua Clinches Victory

During the CPL 2026 encounter, the Trinidad and Tobago Night Riders fell short of the target set by the Antigua and Barbuda Falcons. After a disciplined bowling spell that restricted Antigua to 183/4, the Night Riders began their innings poorly, slipping to 40/3 and then 57/4. Despite a partnership that saw Nicholas Puran add 22 runs and Kiron Polard contribute 41, the required run rate kept climbing. Joshua D Silva’s aggressive 54, featuring five sixes, was not enough to bridge the gap. Trinidad finished on 175/7 after 20 overs, eight runs shy of the winning total.
