Big-hitting Ryder, Barnwell and Yusuf take Triton's past Warriors
Written by I Dig SportsOn another rain-marred day - only four games have been completed in the tournament so far - in Lauderhill, Ryder hit four sixes and three fours in his 12-ball stay to give Triton's the best possible start. His opening partner, Pathan, played his part too, scoring an unbeaten 16 with two sixes in six balls.
The 49-run stand ended by a slower delivery from Jerome Taylor, which brought Barnwell into the middle. He took no time to settle in, dispatching the first two deliveries he faced for sixes.
Warriors did get a sniff when Umaid Asif bowled three dot balls to begin the fourth over. But Barnwell ended the over with two sixes to leave Triton's with just ten to get from the last over. After a couple of singles, Pathan smashed an Abdul Razzaq full toss for a six to level the scores and then hit another off a fuller delivery for the winning runs.
The other two games on the day had to be postponed because of rain.
