Following defeats in their respective opening matches, the Barbados Royals and defending champions Trinbago Knight Riders met in the fourth match of the CPL 2021 at Warner Park in Basseterre, St. Kitts. Jason Holder won the toss for the Barbados Royals and elected to bat first.
After a sluggish powerplay, wickets started to tumble for the batting side in the middle-overs. Azam Khan provided respite with an eye-catching innings, but it was not enough to pull the Royals out of trouble. They could only muster 122 on the board with Isuru Udana picking up a stellar five-wicket haul.
The Trinbago Knight Riders were 18-3 at one stage following a splendid opening spell by Mohammad Amir. Following the departure of the fourth wicket, the chase was at a precarious stage, but skipper Kieron Pollard led from the front.
