Empress lose to remarkable Tridents comeback

The Barbados Tridents pulled off a remarkable comeback victory to keep their hopes of a fourth consecutive Limacol WCPL title alive, edging the Jamaica Empress with outstanding death bowling.

The Tridents posted a competitive total thanks largely to a 78-run partnership between Suzie Bates and Maddy Green, which gave the reigning champions a fighting chance after a sluggish start to their innings.

In reply, the class of Meg Lanning appeared to have made the difference as she struck a superb 57 and, along with Amy Hunter, looked set to take the game away from the Tridents.
