KINGSTON, Jamaica – The Jamaica Tallawahs have set Barbados Tridenta victory target of 196 in their fourth and final Hero CaribbeanPremier League (CPL) Twenty20 fixture at Sabina Park on Wednesday.

Opening batsman Chadwick Walton with a well-played 97 off 55 balls piloted the Tallawahs to a mammoth 195-5 after losing the toss for the third consecutive game and being asked to take first strike in a game reduced to 18 overs per side.

Walton was involved in an entertaining 127-run second wicket partnership with Sri Lankan wicketkeeper/batsman Kumar Sangakkara, who got to a well-paced 50 off 31 balls. Walton’s knock includes nine fours and five sixes, while Sangakkara had four fours and two sixes in his innings.

Young superstar Rovman Powell continued his rich vein of form with a blistering unbeaten knock of 34 off 14 balls that had one boundary and four big sixes.

Pacer Ravi Rampaul was the pick of the Tridents bowlers with two for 35 from four overs, while South African pacer David Wiese also had two for 45 from his four.
