The Knight Riders’ spin trio turned the screws, with Player of the Match Akeal Hosein (2/26), Usman Tariq (1/18), and the miserly Sunil Narine (0/30) choking the middle overs. Yet Hosein proved to be the cool head in the chaos, sealing victory and Knight Riders’ record fifth CPL crown with back-to-back boundaries off Gudakesh Motie. Alex Hales anchored with 26 (34), and Hosein’s composure under pressure ensured the Knight Riders reached 133/7 with 12 balls to spare. The Warriors thrilled their home fans with grit and fight, but the night and history belonged once again to the Trinbago Knight Riders (Source CPL/T20)
