CPL live streaming: Darren Sammy takes a blinder during CPL 2020 win vs Barbados Tridents

Barbados Tridents faced off against St Lucia Zouks in the fifth match of the CPL 2020 on Thursday. Batting first, the Tridents got off to a flyer, with Johnson Charles scoring a breezy 35 in the first three overs of the game. However, as Charles looked to take the game away from the Zouks, captain Darren Sammy took a stunner on the edge of the 30-yard circle to send the opener packing. Charles miscued a lofted drive off New Zealand pacer Scott Kuggleijn and Darren Sammy leapt in the air to complete a fantastic catch.

Tridents did not recover from the setback and settled for a paltry 131 before a rain interruption saw the match reduced to five overs, with Zouks set 47 runs to win. Rakheem Cornwall, Andre Fletcher and Mohammad Nabi played quick cameos, as Darren Sammy's side won the game with five balls to spare.
