St Lucia Zouks recently defeated Barbados Tridents by 3 runs in a low-scoring thriller. On August 30, the two teams clashed at the Queen’s Park Oval in Port of Spain in the 19th match of the ongoing Caribbean Premier League 2020 (CPL 2020) season. The CPL 2020 franchise, co-owned by the Kings XI Punjab (KXIP), defended a small total of 92 even without taking all 10 wickets of the Tridents batting line-up. Apparently, Indian cricketer Dinesh Karthik is keeping updates of the CPL 2020 event as evidenced by his social media activities.
