Antigua And Barbuda Falcons vs Trinbago Knight Riders

Trinbago Knight Riders beat Antigua And Barbuda Falcons by 8 wickets at Brian Lara Stadium in Tarouba on 27 August 2025. Antigua posted 146/7 from their 20 overs, and TKR knocked off the target with ease, finishing on 152/2. Mohammad Amir collected the Player of the Match award for a bowling display that kept the Falcons well below the par score at this venue, where the average first-innings total across 61 matches is 154. The result was never seriously in doubt once TKR's middle-overs partnership took hold.

Antigua's innings had promise early. They reached 43/2 at the end of the powerplay, matching the ground's average of 43 powerplay runs almost exactly, but the middle overs unravelled their effort. Four wickets fell for 48 runs between overs 7 and 15, leaving the lower order to scramble. A brisk death-overs contribution of 55 runs from the final five overs gave the total some respectability, but 147 was always likely to be below what TKR needed to lose sleep over.

The chase was measured rather than frantic. TKR lost one wicket in the powerplay for 42 runs, then sailed through the middle phase without a single dismissal, adding 66 runs across overs 7 to 15. One wicket fell in the death, 44 runs came from those final overs, and the match was done. Eight wickets in hand at the close tells its own story.
